Been having a think about how certain extra media for the shows Shout currently has could be distributed; and which ones I'd prioritise. I'll also say I'm assuming that movies would get separate blu-ray releases to series blu-ray releases, as I don't think it's very reasonable to think they'd happen on the same release.

Kamen Rider: This is a pretty easy one -- there's just two movies for it! Do a 2-pack blu-ray of Kamen Rider vs. Shocker and Kamen Rider vs. Ambassador Hell and you're golden. That's all you really need to do, with maybe some special features having trailers

Kamen Rider Kuuga: Uhh. Well. Hm. Not anything here, actually! This would be EVEN EASIER to do than Kamen Rider because there were never any movies or specials or follow-ups for Kuuga or anything. The absolute most there is are the HBV and the "Director's Cut" of episode 1, both of which I feel fit the bill of special features on the series discs.

Kamen Rider Ryuki: Now this is where we get to the significant stuff. Ryuki had quite a few things going on, but I don't think anyone would argue with me if I said the most significant things that absolutely must be prioritised are the Episode Final movie and the 13 Riders special, which I think would make a fine 2-pack with the special features including 13 Riders' alternate ending. Aside from this there's also the HBV - which I think Shout could get a kick out of by advertising it as a crossover with another Rider, even if it's not really - which could go on either this movie/special 2-pack or the series. There's... also Rider Time: Ryuki, but I feel that would only come when Zi-O comes around and bundled with the other two Rider Time series if at all. Either way I think it would be separate from both Ryuki releases I'm predicting here

Kamen Rider Zero-One: Oh good god jesus. Okay where do we begin? Well, alright, the most obvious place to begin clearly -- Reiwa: The First Generation and REALxTIME. Like Ryuki I think this could make for a very clear 2-pack and is definitely what I'd call the most important (as I would for the winter crossover and summer movies of any other heisei rider). Beyond that there's also 01hers: MBJR and 01hers: Vulcan & Valkyrie which I feel would also make another 2-pack, and an arguably cleaner one at that as those two obviously go together. After that though? Oh man. The HBV, The Presidents, the recap specials, those little anime shorts, that one gag battle between Aruto and Taro, Project: Thouser. Of these I guess I would say the latter is the most 'important' to include as it was marketed as backstory and context on the series compared to the others being fun side affairs, and was of course included on the Japanese Blu-Rays. The recap specials I would also call part of the series itself, so those two parts I would put on 01's main series release. The others... bit of a toss-up as to whether or not they'd be included, though I don't think there'd be a lot of fuss over them either way unless someone considers Genm vs. Thouser the pinnacle of storytelling. I think as long as they followed the pattern of prioritising feature movies and prominent specials I'd be satisfied with that
