@simonstadin Sukoshi, demo mada jouzu ja nai.

neat so the newer version was made by who then?

[ebwarg]

It was also done by Mushi Productions, I think for the compilation film. I picked it (obviously) because it was in better shape, but figured full disclosure is best, even if the only difference is that some of the credits are slightly different or appear in different places.

Wow, I never knew the English translation of the original Japanese them song. Thanks.

LMAO, the original opening is always the best/most epic/etc. XD

Sometimes America just sucks. XDD

@hilarioph That wasn't Saban, I suppose you're thinking of a later dub that was produced also under the name "Kimba the White Lion" which was done by a Canadian group and basically took the same '65 series and re-edited/dubbed it with new music and voices.

Saban made this come back series

back in the 90's compeer to this 1970's look

Americunt dub/edit failz. Always.

Original is best hands down.

Both songs were good. Jungle Emperor had a beautiful opening, and Kimba the White Lion opening was very cute and catchy.
