In 2023, an HD remastered version of Rockman EXE The Movie: Program of Light and Darkness was streamed on YouTube for a limited time to celebrate the release of the Rockman EXE Advanced Collection. Although the movie was removed shortly after, it now appears to have a permanent home on Amazon Japan, marking the first time the film will be available for indefinite streaming.
Digital pre-orders are open on Amazon Japan for 330 yen. Anime Times subscribers can watch it for free, but this perk is only available to Amazon Prime Japan members. An Amazon Japan account is required to purchase and download the movie.
There's no word yet on supported subtitle languages, but based on the previous stream, it's unlikely that English or other languages will be available.
That bites. Welp, there's always anime websites.
ReplyDeleteHope will be launched worldwide. :'(
ReplyDeleteI just want to be able to have it on my account :( even if it didn't have translation I would get it if possible
ReplyDeleteYou mean the video file on two different HDDs, two copies of each just in case something goes wrong and an off-site copy on grandma's PC for good measure.
DeleteYou can have it on your account, but no matter which service it is, they can always just take the license back like they tend to do these days or the service could cease to exist completely.
You should still be able to get it. Amazon Japan lets you make an account regardless of region. Though I’m not familiar with digital media on AZJP, I don’t see why it wouldn’t let you at least buy it.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to be able to get the complete series plus movie uncut on Blu-ray in the US at some point.
ReplyDeleteCome on... it would be nice to have for W.orld W.ide W.ebs... Not just for Japan... Love the Battle Network
ReplyDeleteIs it really that difficult to just make an international release with subtitles?
ReplyDeleteSeriously. Why can't they just release Mega Man NT Warrior as a complete series on blu-ray already, along with all the movies whether they were subbed or dubbed? This limited availability of airing the series on different sites is beyond ridiculous.
DeleteI'd want a uncut dual language Bluray release so people could watch it in English or Japanese.
