Two new DVD releases have been added to the website: The first one is the french "Le roi Léo" complete DVD box (limited edition), released on 23^rd March 2009, that at a reduced price contains 20 DVDs with all episodes of french-dubbed 1965 "Jungle Emperor" series and the 1966 "Leo the Lion" episodes, aired in 1990. It has been added to the DVD page, and on the same page several prices have been corrected.

The second one is also a limited edition, and it is of the "Jungle Emperor Leo" complete box from Japan, released on 23^rd July 2008. At a much lower price than the original DVD-box from 2005, along with 1965 "Jungle Emperor" series and the 1966 "Leo" episodes it also contains a bonus - three booklets about the "Jungle Emperor" series.

Along with the above addition, another novelty has been added to the Japanese releases page - JpopHelp.com, a Canadian-based website on which you can order major japanese releases. Accordingly, an ordering link to JpopHelp.com has been added to all Jungle Emperor releases from Japan.

On History and Recent history pages several updates have been made: After 5 years of airing of 1993 "Canadian" episodes on U.S. TV, some of them have ended in the meantime (on American One and on Kids and Teens Television), and currently there is only one left - Saturdays at 9:00 AM ET on i-Life TV. Also, I've added the past airings of the 1965 "Jungle Emperor" series, of the 1989 Kimba series and of the 1997 movie on TV in Japan.

Defunct links were deleted from the Manga releases page, including the ones for the Korean manga.

After being released in the U.S. and in France, the 1997 "Jungle Emperor Leo" movie has been released in Germany as well. Just like Right Stuf's english release of the movie, this version also features german dubbing and german subtitles, plus some bonus features like the movie trailer or TV ads. However, this release includes the soundtrack CD of the movie, which makes this release a "Collector's Edition". This information has been added to the DVD page.

Two exciting new informations have been added to the Recent history page:

The first one is good for the Kimba/Jungle Emperor Leo fans in UK, because both Jungle Emperor movies, along with the first episode from the original Kimba the White Lion series and many other works by the great Osamu Tezuka, are going to be shown at the Osamu Tezuka: Movies into Manga festival from 18^th to 24^th September at the London's Barbican Centre.

The second information is interesting only to Kimba/Leo fans in Japan only, as the episodes from the original japanese Jungle Emperor series, along with many other famous works by Mr. Osamu Tezuka, are going to be shown on a new channel that will open on the japanese Internet TV Branco. UPDATE: Branco internet TV has been shut down in January 2009.
