Do you think that Bandai will release the Kikaider manga, now that they are getting into the manga business?

I've been asking the same thing. I really hope Bandai releases it. I love Ishinomori's work. I'm sure the manga is even better than the anime, which I really enjoyed.

Well if the Bandai manga line is similar to the ADV manga line they'll release the manga titles they have anime of. ADV licenses almost all the manga that has an anime, like Pretear, Steel Angel Kurumi. Just to name a few. There are high hopes.

Well they wouldn't be making it, since the mangas already existed for some where around 30 years. The anime of course is based directly off of it. I think theres already a Big O manga on the market though.

Also, I have to say the live-action Kikaider show is well worth investing in, and its available on R1 DVD if you weren't aware. Its really one of the funniest shows I have seen. And Mitsuko is hot!

Big O has already been licensed & released by Viz. For example, here's volume one at Amazon.
