I mean, a highlight reel of stuff you've not seen sounds ideal to advertise to people? Like, a few "best of" clips to show someone exactly what Rider is about? The lack of DVDs and streaming is then the killer, but this could be them tiding it over till they can figure something way or distribution that works exactly how they want it to? Idk, that's speciation only people at Toei know.

Of course, the elephant in the room is that Toei knows people in the west have some way of watching Kamen Rider, otherwise why would they keep pestering it, but it can't say that because doing so would be tantamount to going "yes, it's okay to pirate our shows" ... but I wonder if, considering it nets them additional money in merch for no extra expenditure promoting it abroad, subbing everything, licensing worldwide, etc, do they care that much? Throw the western fanbase a few bones every now and then to keep them sweet, but otherwise, well, those Westerners liked it enough when we paid them no attention, why ruin a good money maker? Idk, this is me going full conspiracy theory, it's equally likely they just don't care enough beyond "Ummm have we considered YouTube", but I'm too tird to be cynical.
