This past weekend at Atlanta’s Monsterama convention, Section 23’s Kraken Releasing announced that they will be releasing the original 2005 GARO tokusatsu series in the West in 2017. While the specifics of this release are currently unconfirmed, Kraken also revealed that they are also making plans to release subsequent entries in the franchise as well.
This is pretty fantastic news for tokusatsu fans in the West, as yet another franchise finally makes its way across the pond officially. Will you be adding this release to your collection? Sound off after the jump!
No release specifics yet, but the 2005 GARO series is coming to America with plans for the other instalments to follow!
Full news story
Wow this surprises me. I guess the anime series help boost some interest with the series. Garo is obscure outside the Western Otaku fandom and Toku is very niche expect for Power Rangers and Godzilla.
Surprised Funimation isn't doing it given that they already have the anime.
Uh fuck yeah.
So maybe the assholes I work with will watch it now.
OH MY GOD!!!!! YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope they give us the newly remastered versions on BD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh shiiiiiiiit!
Now if we can get more Ultraman and Kamen Rider stuff in the US.
