Well, there are episodes from several Kimba series. First of all, you should get the episodes from the original Kimba series that were aired in the U.S. in the 1960s and 70s. You can get them either on RightStuf's videotapes (all 52 episodes) or on Rhino's DVDs (only the first 26 episodes, but RightStuf announced release of all 52 episodes on DVD by the end of this year). Next are the "Go ahead, Leo!" (aired in the U.S. as "Leo the Lion") series, which is a sequel to the first series and where Kimba is grown up. Unless you want to order the japanese DVD box set with all 26 episodes, you can get the DVDs by Palm Beach. You have videotape releases as well, look here. And finally, in 1989 a remake of the original Kimba (Jungle Emperor) series with a completely new concept was made. You can get one part of the episodes on Pioneer's videotapes. Regarding all the three series mentioned above, in Japan were released DVD boxes with all episodes from all above series. They are expensive and without English subtitles or dubbing but have the best possible image and sound quality. Currently broadcasted on some U.S. TV stations and in the other parts of the world is the 1993 remake of the original U.S. Kimba episodes from the 60s and 70s, with a different opening theme and new voices (and some slightly changed names). If you're interested in it as well, some partial VHS and DVD releases of these episodes have been released in U.S. and Australia. But, for those who are interested, I'll soon add to my website info on the DVD box set with the complete series which will be released in September in Australia. Also, you may want to visit and join the Kimba group at Yahoo! Groups, if you would like to get in touch with many other Kimba fans! If you have any other question, I'll be glad to answer!
