55 years of Kimba (Jungle Emperor) - Updates of the website

5^th March 2006

2 new DVD releases have been added to the Recent history page: spanish DVD box with some episodes from the 1965 series, and the 2nd french DVD box titled "Leo roi Leo" containing first 26 episodes of the 1965 series. Along with this, informations about current airings of Kimba in Germany and Austria were updated on the same page.

Thanks to Francesco Piccardo from Italy that provided me with some informations and corrections, a big update was done on the History pages regarding the airings on Kimba in Italy.

On the Episode pictures page the episode "The Wild Wildcat" has been renamed to nr.28 instead of nr.15 because of its place in the correct chronological order of the story.
