I came across a number of Jungle Emperor sites on the net and purchased Right Stuff's recent DVD collection of the original Kimba episodes on their strength. I never saw Kimba growing up, so I'm a new viewer!

I'd eventually like to own the animated "Symphonic Poem" as I'm also an Isao Tomita fan. If I enjoy Kimba, I'll probably get the Onward Leo! series, although may skip watching the 1990's theatrical release (even though I bought that too).

It's interesting to reflect on just how many of his main characters Osamu Tezuka did in... but then consider that the original mangas came out just 5 years after the end of WWII. There's bound to be something lurking in one's psyche after experiencing what the Japanese did.

There are still lions existant in the Tezuka universe though; Leo and Liya's cubs! I hope that Mushi Productions does something positive and exciting with them.

I'll post again!
