----------------------------------------
Leo is back! I'll have to get used to calling him by his original name now since they didn't change any for the dub this time.

He may be an adult but he's definitely still the same lion we know and love. It didn't take long until he was rescuing a child in need and taking down airplanes lol

Since the episodes are not listed on MAL you can find them on anidb here: https://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=1498
Here's also an episode guide that I found online: https://web.archive.org/web/20120210081959/http://www.kimbawlion.com/leoepguide.htm

I read a review on another site that this series focuses instead on Leo's kid, the male lion cub. But this is not the case. He is featured in very few episodes as the main character. Focus is yet again on Leo, this time with a more mature and stronger character.

It features some more serious scenes than the original series and deaths are much more common. I found it better than the original series and indeed it is closer to Tezuka manga narrative, though Leo manga is still different. In fact I think the Lion King takes far more inspiration from this series than the original one. It was broadcast in English in 1984 after all, while the 1989 series was shown long after Lion King pre-production.

Most horrendous dub I've ever heard in an anime, and that's saying a lot. The actual episode, however, was pretty good.
