The White Lion VS the Savanna Boss (New Adventures, Jungle Emperor 1989 TV series)

(From Ep 18: Fighting Spirit) This is from a series called "The New Adventures of Kimba the White Lion" in North America.
Leo, a white lion cub, rules the jungle (Panja's Jungle) that his father Panja had left behind when he was shot by poachers. The number one rule of Panja's jungle is "No fighting, and no hunting". When Leo broke this rule himself, he left into exile. Now he wanders the savanna alone. But it's a dangerous world out there... maybe Leo has made a deadly mistake.

Kimba has the high ground.

Wasn't this when astro boy was made

Sometimes its better in Japanese. No need to dumb down the dialog for the kiddies to be able to handle things like death and complex morals, even if its good for them and would build character. Thank you for this.

If he collapsed and the cheetahs scrambled up there I would teleport there and be like: *Whats up with you? Ya wanna catch these paws?*

[@nightynight07]

Could I ask where did you get this? I’ve been trying to get all the japanese episodes with eng subs but I can’t find them anywhere :(

[@Luckykats]

You can find Kimba episodes on Nyaa. Search for "Jungle Emperor 1989" and "Jungle Taitei 1989" at that site, though you'll need a P2P file-sharing program to download. There's also a torrent for episodes 16-42 by Leozukago on archive org. (though the ability to stream episodes there was taken down.) If you get a raws japanese-only file, then you can put downloaded subtitles on using the free video-player program called VLC. Though that's alittle more complicated. Leozukago on archive org uploaded text-only subtitle files to download to put on videos. (By naming both the video file & .srt subtitle file the same name (while in the same folder), VLC will play the subs automatically.) Also sorry for the super late reply. KZbin doesn't notify me of every comment unfortunately. :(

@@Luckykats thank you so much for letting me know ;w; I've been years wanting to watch the entire series but I only ever found the dub and last year I found all the episodes here on youtube but they were taken down before I could even watch half of it

[@Luckykats]

@@nightynight07 You're welcome! Glad you love Kimba tooo. This is my favorite series because I love 80s animation and it has nice atmosphere. If you're having any troubles downloading let me know. I don't have all the episodes, but I'll be leaving my peer-to-peer downloader up for you. :3

[@protowave]

the music in this is absolutely incredible, especially the strings while Leo is stranded up on the rock

[@protowave]

update: a year later and i imported both symphonic soundtracks for this show from Japan. 100% worth it; the music is beautiful and it sounds so much better in full quality (and in stereo!)

[@sillybillybear50]

Think the ‘89 English dub also got cancelled since the tapes sold really poorly. I’d be curious to see how they’d handle other episodes, hehe~

[@SimbasGuardWT]

The English dubs also did a hatchet job on the story, in an effort to make the show suitable for all ages.

3:54 i recognize that voice. it's Kazuyuki Sogabe(kunzite in sailor moon, Huey in fist of the north star and Gemini Saga and Gemini Kanon in saint seiya).

Simba would be dead so quickly.

[@Star-ie8br]

I love this show so much lol

[@maisathashloko8397]

Hmmm 🤔

[@donnaavelar703]

I watched kimba in 1968 and 1969 before school . Does anyone remember the original lyrics to the trailer as the kimba stories began ?

[@stevogamin4092]

I remember watching this when I was a kid but I watched it in dub

[@SimbasGuardWT]

Great show.

[@bobcat24]

If his name is Leo and his dad’s name is Panja, then who’s Kimba? I thought THIS lion was Kimba. I’m. So confused.

[@protowave]

almost every character name was changed for the Western releases of various Tezuka Productions media outisde of Japan. Panja was changed to Caesar, Leo was changed to Kimba, etc. etc. so Kimba was a name that was invented by American localizers; it doesn't exist in the original releases of this series.

[@gingaddict]

How many times did that cheetah laugh?

[@epsilonxvi5675]

this is kimba or grow up lune?

[@Luckykats]

This is Kimba (named Leo in Japan) from an episode never released in English from the TV series: "The New Adventures of Kimba the White Lion". (Known as Jungle Taitei (1989) in Japan.)
