About Jungle Taitei: Susume Leo!

Jungle Taitei: Susume Leo! (ジャングル大帝 進めレオ!) arrives as an adventure anime by Mushi Production (1966), and the premise is easy to summarize. The premise: This story revolves around the grown-up Leo and his family (childhood companion Lyre as his wife, Rune who is the spitting image of Leo, and Rukkio who is the spitting image of Lyre). In the original story, the ending was quite tragic and brought tears to the eyes of the audience, but the ending was altered to a happy one for this animated film.

Along the way, this change emphasizes the "bonds of family."

In an adventure series like this, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Guest (Mayo Suzukaze) and Lyre (Haruko Kitahama) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling, put it on your list. With 26 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
