brilliant

i love the jungle book my first experience was when i was four watching Disney's movie. i always wanted to be Mowgli. my love for the movie made me stumble upon this anime i was looking around a video store and i found this version made by Nippon animation the tape only included episodes one and two. but i instantly fell in love with the version. and collected all the videos available unfortunately the first ten episodes were only available. but being such a big fan i wondered through TV channels on sky looking for the show after a couple of years i found the show on a Chanel named Chanel east i videoed the episodes i needed but then the Chanel stopped showing them and i have never seen the whole series. after the red dogs episode. but for anyone who loves jungle book or anime this is great. i personally love it more than the Disney version. to witch the show is very different. if you find any videos buy them. overall excellent viewing David Percival aged 19 from the UK.
