They're doing this to see what series are popular so they can think about officially licensing them.

It's like Toei still doesn't get it. Tsuburaya and the Owners of GARO seem to have an understanding of how this should occur if it's going to occur optimally. |
The thing is that... wasn't that what the Heisei Generations Forever sub was supposed to be for? Like, 5 months ago? At the very least you should surely have a couple safe bets by now; Black, Den-O, W, Gaim... put out one of those alongside this.

I don't think this is the big worldwide push people think it is? It reads more like Toei doing what Tsubaraya does with their old Ultra shows - a nice highlight reel of best moments for people to enjoy, and to entice them to sign up to whatever streaming site they eventually decide to add more series to, or just buy the DVDs.

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. |
This is a nice bit of news... i mean logically it would make no sense to relase ALL what 31 series with anywhere from 32-79 or however many episodes per series that would take TOOO long with only 1-2 eps a week.
Now this could be some mistranslation stuff, 1-2 episodes a week encompassing every series. This MOST LIKELY means we'll get a few episodes per series total and it makes perfect sense since that would only take 31 weeks to cover 71 to Saber (could even get ep 1/2 of the 5th series) totally doable in a single year. However it could also means 1-2 episodes PER SERIES per week. This of course is highly unlikely but we'll just have to wait and see definitely a bit of a surprising announcment no matter which form it takes. This could actually be a really good thing. Toei releases a couple episodes per series then based on the views determines even if its not a fair as sesment the most popular series to then license out for streaming. |
In an ideal world, we would have a worldwide toku-exclusive streaming service.
|
Amazon already has the 'Toku' sub-brand for streaming (which I just found out has Agito???)
That would be a perfect place for Toei to put past shows on for a monthly subscription fee. I wonder if there are any licensing issues or if its a matter of translation resources. Subbed and dubbed K-Dramas are doing extremely well on Netflix at the moment. An entire back-catalog of toku shows (give me Metal Heroes!) seems like a smart move. |
