Yes, i've downloaded this and this is class, kimba is such a beautifull story. My dad never saw it in the 1960's (cuz it wasn't in the uk when he was a kid) but if he did, he probably would of loved it, cheers for uploading ^^.

Yes, Kimba is a deep, beatifull and emotional story. I think in the 60's the world westerns (our parents) didn't know very much about animes like today. Nowadays the japanese animation is a fever, but artistcs animes like Kimba are very, very rare. I watched it in 1997, in brazilian Fox Kids. Ah, my dad loves nature stories, he probably would like it too! ^^

..And you are welcome! ;)

How great to see this again! I lived in Japan from ages 6-8, 1961-1963 as my dad was in the military. I was so in love with Kimba!

We didn't have any English speaking TV shows except once a week, Lawrence Welk, so I watched Japanese TV and enjoyed it immensely. We had The Rifle man and Popeye, but they were also in Japanese, and so much fun to watch.

When it came to the English dub, NBC did not have the resources to do the Japanese opening properly. But NBC did try and in some broadcast versions, it did show up. but it was replaced by the now famous US opening we know so well. And as each episode had a seven day time period from the last episode, theNBC also gave up on having the US voice actors do much singong as they were not good singers/

@LeandroMixKH No. In the dub, he's called Caesar, and in this, the original japanese version, Panja. Still the names are similar.

Ahh. Great memories. Disney could have at least credited Kimba during the credits for The Lion King.

[DetectiveTective]

Ah, so this is Lion Kiong's origins.

Leave it to America and Disney to steal shit from Japan ONCE AGAIN!

@dundeecake

I hope so.

@Sanimangas We already left the golden age of animation and there isn't much development in cultures or music right now. However, there are still a lot of 'daimonds' to witness in the new cartoons, films, games and music. We're just currently in the 'downer' years with the crisis and all, but I'm sure great art-pieces will come out in the future. :)

@dundeecake

Yeah... the anime industry kinda died.

So did the music industry :(

New generation kids are going to grow up stupid.

[dundeecake]

@Sanimangas eh..back in those days they could.
