Title: "Leo The Lion" (Kimba) DVD set of two
Post by: Thunderwing on May 15, 2016, 05:05:15 PM
I have these two DVDs, both in perfect working condition with some wear on the cases/covers. They feature "Leo The Lion" which is the sequel to the Japanese Kimba The White Lion series. Though they work fine, they are... well, the sound quality is horrible. Not from use, but just how they were made. Bleh.

$20 plus shipping for the pair? (If I am way off (too low or too high), please let me know, there are none on ebay).

Oh wow! I had no idea they made a tv series after Kimba. Good luck selling them!

That's the impression I'm getting. I posted these in several forums, and people are saying "I've never seen that before!". Maybe I stumbled on a hidden gem, ebay may be my best bet.

I haven't seen them before either, that artwork on the box is a little.. off  :lol:

It is a legitimate sequel, it even ran in the US (on a christian station apparently?) in the 80's. It was made originally in the 60's though. Here's a wikipedia article about it! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_the_Lion_%28anime%29

I'm wondering if the DVDs might be bootlegs? You said the quality was bad and that artwork looks pretty silly.
Actually nope, I dug around on amazon and saw they sell volume 3 with that same art for about $12.99 in stock. The reviews say the audio quality is awful as you described, so I guess the producers of the DVD just had no idea how to handle audio.
