So just an idea, but everyone who has a Netflix account should try suggesting the few Kamen Riders available in English (V3 and The First) to them. I just did it and I was thinking that if they got an influx of requests for it that might give it more of a fighting chance. I know it is a very slim chance but still, it's at least worth a shot right?

Sounds like a fun idea.

Only if we can have the Dynaman gagdub.

Would be cool, but I don't think it will happen. At least Amazon Prime is getting Amazons soon.

Netflix tends to offer both English and Japanese Audio for their anime offerings! Optional subtitles are just a matter of course to cover closed-captioning needs for all shows. Be it Kamen Rider or Super Sentai on Netflix, I don't see it happening, but I also don't think it would be enormously difficult to integrate or sell either.

P.S.: Not all dubs are, by definition, terrible. Not the same, perhaps, but not universally terrible.

Then it might be better to ask Amazon about the other Rider shows instead of a company that has had nothing to do with Kamen Rider so far?

I don't have an Amazon video account so I can't do that, haha. Of course other people are free to do whatever they can with their video streamer of choice.

I mean, if Netflix can have a show like City Hunter, why can't it have Kamen Rider? I'd totally be down.

However, I think the best thing we can do is all watch Amazons when it comes to Prime in the US.

Aren't you just a bundle of joy?
Dubs widen audiences. They're good for that alone. If you watch shows subtitled then I don't know why you even care that much.

I find this comment to be rather harsh. Dubs are pretty great these days. The old days of dubbing are long gone. We don't have dubs that are westernizing things like we did with the old days of Funimation or dubs trying to be edgy like dubs from Manga UK. You also have a lot of good voice actors working these days too.

Like ZRV said, dubs help bring in more people to watch it. Not everyone watch things sub titles. I remember when someone walk out from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and wanted their money back because it was not dubbed. America dubs things in English no different what countries do with media release outside of their own country. Video games and cartoons from the US do get dubbed in Japan and not released subtitle (from what I've seen). No different here.
