Arrow Video is a company in the UK that has released Toku and other Japanese cinema. If people in the Region 2 market want Kamen Rider stuff, they can always ask them about it. I would want Arrow to release Shin-J on Blu-Ray because they can release it in both Region 1 and Region 2. Not to mention, they have good connections with Toei.
Which is why I can't really see them tacking it for the UK either. Some distributors use Shout masters here and I'm sure vice versa occurs too, but I don't see Arrow doing that either. Also just to clarify again most BD players are only region-free in that they're region free DVD players. For actual region-free BD players there's either crazily expensive (and hard to come by) manufactured ones or buying them from third parties that hack them and then make them region-free. I did the latter a few years back, and mine was about £130.

Thinking about it, these are possibly two of the most interesting seasons they could have chosen in terms of what they'll do with subs.
Ryuki is a series where the original subs created something that western fandom heavily associates with a character - Asakura Ouja's "I'm vexed..." - even though that's not entirely accurate to the original script. Zero-One, meanwhile, has a main character who does jokes and wordplay every two seconds. I remember near the start of this show people were comparing different subgroups and finding it interesting how differently different groups had translates the same joke. Basically, it'll be interesting to see what the official subs do with this material! |

Ryuki is my single favorite show of all time. I am ecstatic for it finally get an official english sub and be easily accessible.
With Zero One getting a dvd/bluray release, hopefully this does as well (as well as Faiz, Hibiki, Gaim, Fourze, W...everything lol).

Been having a think about how certain extra media for the shows Shout currently has could be distributed; and which ones I'd prioritise. I'll also say I'm assuming that movies would get separate blu-ray releases to series blu-ray releases, as I don't think it's very reasonable to think they'd happen on the same release.
Kamen Rider: This is a pretty easy one -- there's just two movies for it! Do a 2-pack blu-ray of Kamen Rider vs. Shocker and Kamen Rider vs. Ambassador Hell and you're golden. That's all you really need to do, with maybe some special features having trailers Kamen Rider Kuuga: Uhh. Well. Hm. Not anything here, actually! This would be EVEN EASIER to do than Kamen Rider because there were never any movies or specials or follow-ups for Kuuga or anything. The absolute most there is are the HBV and the "Director's Cut" of episode 1, both of which I feel fit the bill of special features on the series discs. Kamen Rider Ryuki: Now this is where we get to the significant stuff. Ryuki had quite a few things going on, but I don't think anyone would argue with me if I said the most significant things that absolutely must be prioritised are the Episode Final movie and the 13 Riders special, which I think would make a fine 2-pack with the special features including 13 Riders' alternate ending. Aside from this there's also the HBV - which I think Shout could get a kick out of by advertising it as a crossover with another Rider, even if it's not really - which could go on either this movie/special 2-pack or the series. There's... also Rider Time: Ryuki, but I feel that would only come when Zi-O comes around and bundled with the other two Rider Time series if at all. Either way I think it would be separate from both Ryuki releases I'm predicting here Kamen Rider Zero-One: Oh good god jesus. Okay where do we begin? Well, alright, the most obvious place to begin clearly -- Reiwa: The First Generation and REALxTIME. Like Ryuki I think this could make for a very clear 2-pack and is definitely what I'd call the most important (as I would for the winter crossover and summer movies of any other heisei rider). Beyond that there's also 01hers: MBJR and 01hers: Vulcan & Valkyrie which I feel would also make another 2-pack, and an arguably cleaner one at that as those two obviously go together. After that though? Oh man. The HBV, The Presidents, the recap specials, those little anime shorts, that one gag battle between Aruto and Taro, Project: Thouser. Of these I guess I would say the latter is the most 'important' to include as it was marketed as backstory and context on the series compared to the others being fun side affairs, and was of course included on the Japanese Blu-Rays. The recap specials I would also call part of the series itself, so those two parts I would put on 01's main series release. The others... bit of a toss-up as to whether or not they'd be included, though I don't think there'd be a lot of fuss over them either way unless someone considers Genm vs. Thouser the pinnacle of storytelling. I think as long as they followed the pattern of prioritising feature movies and prominent specials I'd be satisfied with that

Personally, and I know for some seasons this would be easier than others, I'd just prefer everything in one go. If bonus movies/specials had to be separate releases, I'd rather they all just be in one box set based on season. I know that'd likely result in big/expensive boxes for stuff like Zero-One, Den-O(oh god), etc, but I'd rather just have to make two purchases instead of like, four or more.

Either way I think it would only go beyond 2 sets when it comes to V-cinema movies or truly insane series like Den-O
