Awesome. I know they're really protective of the license but they are naturally going to be compared to how Tsubaraya is handling Ultraman on youtube.

Re: Kamen Rider coming to Blu-ray in the U.S.
Transcript of the relevant bits:
As far as production goes, right now everything is focused on Kamen Rider. The extras — like I've been saying in a bunch of videos — have been taking forever, but it looks like they're done. The menus are done. Everything's done.
My guy is coming in over the weekend to actually get it finished quicker. I think by next week, we'll make a burn here of it. And then what'll happen is we'll take a look at it, and if everything's okay, we make the BDCMF and everything goes well and it's out to the replicator.
Yes, the DYAD — both the standard and the exclusive editions — will be shipping. I expect in the next 30 days, I'm going to say, just to play it safe, plenty of time for AnimeNJ and a lot of the things we're doing. So, that title will finally have its day, and we're very excited about that.

Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider (anime) to stream on Crunchyroll this October. It's interesting they're going back to this franchise. FUUTO PI anime was originally licensed by Funimation and it's still streaming on Crunchyroll. FUUTO PI was never released on home video. The 2024 prequel film was not licensed as well.

English dub version will also be streamed sometime this fall. https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/ann...a-final-season

Re: Kamen Rider coming to Blu-ray in the U.S.
Quick and dirty AI cleanup of a transcription of the relevant bits:
As far as Media Blasters goes, as you know, we’re working on Dyad. It’s pretty much done — we’ve finished everything we can do at this point. Right now, it’s in Japan’s hands, with Toei. We’re waiting for them to come back with any comments.
There’s a booklet, all the extras, everything. Let’s just say Dyad turned into a much bigger project than I initially expected. All those extras, the booklet — it really added up in a way I didn’t anticipate. Honestly, I think it’s a steal at $49.99, especially considering what prices are like for similar collections now.
Of course, it’s up to you guys if you’re interested. There will be a standard edition as well. I don’t think the price difference between the two will be as large as it was with the Trilogy, because the discs alone are packed with content.
Matt and the team did an amazing job on the interviews, and I think the commentaries are a must-have. If you’re a Kamen Rider fan, this set is something you really want to own to complete your collection. All those extras we’re creating are exclusive to our releases, so I think that’s a big deal for us.

Media Blasters update on the Kamen Rider Dyad replacement disc: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1286309180129256
tl;dw: replacement discs are out of replication and should start shipping in the next 2 weeks. He says only around 150 people requested replacements. John also mentions that those of us who requested replacements can throw away the original disc, which makes me wonder if the original disc was reauthored with the fix or if he’s forgetting that the original plan was to send the standard disc with fewer extras. No idea. Maybe we’ll find out in a couple of weeks.
