Yesterday, April 5th, Toei launched the Toei Tokusatsu World, a YouTube channel that contains free tokusatsu and anime content from Toei themselves, but like all launches, it had some issues.
For starters, due to YouTube's machine copyright claim, some of its videos got copyright claimed by Toei to a point that the channel was taken down briefly by copyright bots! The channel is now back up and running as of this writing.
In addition, for international fans, some of the titles in the channel are not available due to current licensing deals available in their respective region. As previously reported, Himitsu Sentai Goranger and JAKQ Dengekitai are part of the launch, but due to existing rights ownership by Hasbro, these shows are not available in North America. For North American fans, here are the series that are not available in your area due to existing licensing rights. These shows are available in other territories.

AMENDED & REVISED! Here's a list of titles not available in North America via the Toei Tokusatsu World channel, so far, put together by @toku_gami. Some fans might be upset at this, but the rights to these titles have already been spoken for, right now. So, let's break it down: pic.twitter.com/3furfsXDiU

Lastly, expect more episodes of their various shows to be uploaded on this channel, with later episodes having no English channels, but are open for fan contributed subtitles.
