What Rider and Ultra material has been officially subbed in English, beyond the Ultraman Manga which inspired the anime?
What else has Seven Seas done? Suppose this isn't that surprising. Hard-to-find Transformers Manga have been released by Viz, so I can't say I'm overly astonished. All that was impossible to obtain is suddenly obtainable! The thing this makes me wonder about is whether that rumor is true about Hasbro and Toei! The idea of pushing Sentai in a non-PR context isn't new, but it could be inferred that Toei is getting into the business of directly marketing Sentai to the West. The only thing that could hurt that assumption is whether Toei was even involved with this deal or if Seven Seas made the deal with Ishinomori's family/estate. |

Hasbro still has the rights to Sentai in the west, this Gorenger manga had to be okayed by Hasbro, also the cover for the Manga that Seven Seas showed off on Twitter says "Before Power Rangers there was" on it like the Sentai DVDs by Shout, so it's likely Hasbro had something to do with this.
That "Before Power Rangers There Was" tagline is likely going to be the marketing standard, and does give the vibe that SHOUT! and Hasbro will have an association for this very reason. The deal with Hasbro and Saban meant that SHOUT! had to slow things down. The sheer and absolute irony would be if the release of this manga was to tease us regarding an official Gorenger series release by SHOUT!, but that's idle speculation right now. Original Kamen Rider and Ultraman have received official releases, why not Gorenger? |

If hasbro is a part of getting dvds out now. Then may be they can get the rest of the Transformers & G.i. Joe cartoons out on dvd. There are 5 Transformers series that need dvd set & 2 for G.i. Joe.

Nice! Seven Seas seems to pick up a lot of really niche but interesting mangas for western release.

Unfortunately, anything that might possibly happen will probably be slow. From what I've come across, the 2001 Transformers RID dub isn't under Saban's control or Hasbro's, but Disney's. Old deals don't always end quickly. On that side, I would bank on a Car Robots release first.

So I have this pre-ordered, and I'm anxiously awaiting its release by wondering what kind of treatment it will get. I assume it will be like other Seven Seas hardcover books, but as I don't own any of them, I'm not entirely sure what they're like. Does anybody know? How big is it? What kind of paper quality? Do they have sections of color pages?

I found it, and I wasn't even looking for it today!
About $24.99 at Books-A-Million, which isn't overly egregious. A little odd to see "Ishinomori" and "Power Rangers" in the same sentence! Also never expected to see "Super Sentai" on a BAM price tag! |

Is there a reason why the "no" in Ishinomori's name italicized?
Like, I know that it was originally Ishimori before he changed it in the 80's, but what's the reason for that manga cover?
