Possible Toku releases in Blu-Ray

[monkeyjb1988]

Do you think we'll ever see tokusatsu come onto the Blu-Ray format? I know it may be a long while for Sentai and Kamen Rider (but we can comment on those too), but what about Godzilla, Garo, or recent Ultraman movies? I mean, Blu-Ray's region for the US works for Japan and vice-versa, so there's not the DVD problem of going Multi-Region.

On the same note, do you think the studios have the film/materials to make decent Blu-Rays of Toku shows and movies?

As of now Toei Video (The ones making the "V-Cinema" teamup series) is the only Toku company registered with the Blu-Ray Association but no news from them of Toku releases.

for proof that Toei is supporting Blu-Ray, here:
