	Toei's stubbornness to cooperate with Western distributors is infamous outside of ''Transformers''. Western distribution of ''Sailor Moon'' material was forbidden for many years after both DiC & Cloverway's licenses lapsed in 2005, and even before that they never granted permission for the final season of that series (''Sailor Stars'') to be distributed in North America by either entity. Toei continued refusing new potential ''Sailor Moon'' licensees until Viz Media (a Japanese-owned company) finally worked something out in 2014. Toei rigorously oversees the localization of ''Digimon'' material in Western markets, often forbidding necessary edits or forcing inexplicable changes. Just about the only Western distributor they ''do'' get along with is Funimation (now part of the Sony-owned Crunchyroll), the licensee for almost everything ''Dragon Ball'', ''One Piece'', and ''Toriko'', but that most likely has to do with the company's founder, Gen Fukunaga, whose uncle had been a Toei producer in the past. <ref>https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECE/InfoFor/AlumniAndFriends/OECE/2003/fukunaga.whtml</ref>		Toei's stubbornness to cooperate with Western distributors is infamous outside of ''Transformers''.

			Perhaps unflatteringly, Toei is notorious among Western anime distributors for being difficult to work with. For distributors releasing their material outside of Japan, Toei often refuses to provide quality video masters. The masters they ''do'' provide are routine of the inferior picture and sound quality, and sometimes are even ''incomplete'' in their material.

	The masters for ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)\|The Headmasters]]'' cartoon Toei provided to [[Metrodome]], [[Madman Entertainment]] and [[Shout! Factory]] for Western release contained none of the before credits recaps and next episode segments. This was unfortunate, as some of those segments contained new content and not just clips. The ''[[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)\|Super-God Masterforce]]'' and ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (cartoon)\|Victory]]'' masters provided by Toei did not include the [[clip show]] episodes; while this would not normally be a serious issue, in the case of ''Masterforce'' the clip shows were vital for making the rather convoluted plot of that series coherent.
