Thank you guys so much! Trust me when I say it's just as much of a treat to hear such kind responses.

It'd definitely be nice to see a big definitive Kuuga collection, for sure. It was simultaneously a little funny, and a little sad when I realized starting to work on that last post that it's basically the Still Not Officially Licensed Showcase for this series.

The upside here is that I'm pretty sure this is all totally possible. I know for sure Hyper Battle Videos end up on Blu-ray boxes in Japan just fine, so something that extreme shouldn't be an issue at all; it's just a matter of how Toei wants to then license that out for a foreign release, and if those distributors themselves care to go after it. I mean, right now, we've even got a few movies without the accompanying TV shows, so anything's possible, right?

(Oh, and as a quick side-note aimed specifically at Die: TV-Nihon actually just subbed the Agito HBV recently using a raw from the Blu-ray... even though I swear they already subbed it and that's how I watched it back in the day? But whatever, the point is Die can bring back one of his threads from the dead for a bit too now if he feels like it. It's a great HBV, actually! Written by Kobayashi and everything!)
