A series from my childhood, which I really loved.
I rewatched it recently, only to find out that I still love this series^^

In it's core, it's a story about growing up, about maturing, learning more about the world, finding new friends and such. This is also the aspect I love most about this series:
We see how Mogli grows up, gets stronger and gains the respect of his wolf comrades.

Another good point are some of the characters:
We got Bagheera, who's really an awesome friend Mogli got. He saves Mogli's life several times and they share a close friendship. Especially the end got another surprise in this friendship ...

This anime unlike most of the other ones is actually adapted from the novel by Rudyard Kipling.The story is set
in India with Mowgli,an orphaned boy who was raised by wolves being the main protaganist of the story .If you
havent read the book,then the story might actually resemble Tarzan.Though Tarzan and mowgli do bear thier
similarities.The story starts off with mowgli's parents being killed by the Sher khan,the tiger and the story's
main antagonist.Mowgli is then rescued by wolves(Alexander and luri) who then take him into thier care.The story that follows
is mowglis' survival in the jungle,his attachment to his animal friends and his close encounters with ...
