Me, half yes and half no.
it's not that. it's more: I completely understand why they had to do this and respect them for that decision... but I can't help but feel mad at all the missed opportunities to have a complete series, even WITH the DVD quality releases

With the majority of our staff in the US, it's a big case of CYO, sorry

While I totally get and respect this decision, especially as you're mostly US based and don't wanna get in legal trouble over there.
It kinda Sucks for those of us not in region 1 countries.

I'd LOVE to buy the Shout Factory DVDs, but as nothing I own would play them they'd be very expensive paperweights for me.

Shame shout factory couldn't make them region 0 is all...

Get a VPN, select a US region, and rip the episodes from their website. It's that easy.

I'm definitely getting mixed feelings on this. On the one hand, I can't help but appreciate the subs' styling (however minimal they may be) and the fact that it subbed the opening theme, which is extremely rare for the official subs I've seen (and both points make it almost feel like one of ours after going through the relatively abysmal Ultraman Leo subs). On the other, this really does stink for international fans. Some legally dubious Ultra notwithstanding, it was almost impossible to find any of the Big Three's entries in the US before 2014, so that makes me hope things can change relatively quickly in other areas as well.

I mean, nothing is truely ever gone when uploaded to the internet. If you really wanted to, you could find it.

That being said, supporting product that you enjoy watching sends a positive message to people that there is an international demand for it and supports the series overall.

We have a blu-ray announced! https://www.shoutfactory.com/product/ka ... ct_id=7876

Honestly, probably the high point for me is that Grongi subtitles are optional now. No idea on 60fps; I suspect they would've announced it if so (unless the interlaced web release implies otherwise?). Still only region A, unfortunately, but having both physical + online releases will hopefully increase accessibility nonetheless.

Great. More region locked shit which makes it harder for the rest of us to access the shows we love. Cue Americans screaming "SUPPORT THE OFFICIAL RELEASE" in chorus.

Toei should just make TTFC available worldwide. All shit like this does is make it harder for non-Americans, as fansubbers trip over themselves in a rush to make the shows impossible to watch outside America.
Seen:
Super Sentai: Fiveman onwards
Kamen Rider: Ichigou-Skyrider, all the Heisei/Reiwa series except the American shows.
Precure: DokiDoki-Go Pri
Metal Heroes: Gavan
Other: Spiderman, Power Rangers

I wouldn't say that's the case here; it's already been streaming in the US for a while, so I suspect whatever fansubs are going to be pulled have already been. (From what I'm seeing, region A's compatibility will include a couple other areas like South America and most of Southeast Asia.)


*On a separate note, regarding 60fps--they haven't confirmed or denied outright, but this looks pretty close to a no.
