TV-N and OT have been my go-to for the last 15 years, so from a fan perspective of Toku and SHT, I have appreciated it, but also respected how much effort goes into the process. And that these groups have come so far in how the series have been translated and offered made it feel like I could be included in something more global.

But it is a luxury, and one that also now brings back memories of having to purchase fan subbed episodes of Ranma 1/2 on VHS back in the day.

You would think that in our current age, studios would understand the nature of desiring programming. SHT and most Tokusatsu shows are literally light years beyond what is offered in the US. I get that they're finally after 20 years coming into digital infancy with offerings through online broadcast, but seriously, offering a small sampling compared to 45 + years of material is a drop in the bucket. And obviously money makes the world go round, so if a subscription was required (which look at PBS Masterpieces, or any of the other niche for sale type services) it could garner money if offered at the right cost.

I also always considered it a mutual respect on the part of Toei to understand that we love their shows, but that love is because of the hard work of fans bringing their materials to the states quicker than their turtle like pace. But in the meantime, I'm back to the digital equivalent of bootleg Ranma 1/2.
