Or Toei could simply outsource international distribution to an intermediary company (such as, but not necessarily, a Chinese one) and see what happens.

I think a lot of their international expansion efforts for tokusatsu will be directed towards other SEA countries, but it would be nice if it also meant more stuff for the rest of the world too. Even just improving streaming and physical media offerings would be appreciated.

I'm honestly not sure what to feel after hearing that they're only deciding to expand because of Japan's shrinking population/consumer base, but, hey, official stuff for us. Yipee.

Speaking of official news: are we sure this isn't a belated April Fool's joke?

I think an official Zeztz sub might be in the works

So does this mean Toei wants to push Super Sentai in North America completely divorced from Power Rangers?

The article highlights a push into Chinese and North American markets.
