Begin streaming? It's definitely been on there overnight on and off for the past year at least.

The article notes it was originally added in 2020. Discotek's BD releases did go out-of-print (or at least out-of-stock) so I guess maybe their license expired and it's been renewed.

Kind of fitting it was re-added alongside Spider Riders. It's pretty obvious that the English side of things were trying to evoke each other. Nelvana was run by Michael Hirsh when it acquired Medabots, a Beetrain show. Cookie Jar was founded by Michael Hirsh and they co-produced Spider Riders with Beetrain. The leads in Medabots were Joe Motiki and (eventually) Julie Lemieux. The leads in Spider Riders were Joe Motiki and Julie Lemieux.

Can't wait to give it a watch and then be disappointed all over again by the sequel.

I wish more English dub adaptation like this would get preserved on streaming.

I'd be more excited if RetroCrush didn't quietly phase out most of their free streaming options without any sort of announcement about it. Like if I'm going to pay for an anime over 30 years I'd rather just buy the physical release than add one more streaming subscription.
