Region 4 Winners and Losers

    Kimba the White Lion can be purchased in individual volumes or as part of a box set with an exclusive disc of extras, including the first Japanese episode. The extras are identical to the box set released in Region 1 by Right Stuf, suggesting that the transfer may also be much the same. Most reviews tend to rave about the video quality of the Region 1 release, but given that both releases are likely from the same source, I would want to make a direct comparison before claiming Region 1 the winner.

    The original Japanese series is available in Region 2 in a very expensive box set, without English subtitles.

    Of course there is always the Region 4 Warner release with the 1990s dub, but from the reviews I've read, the video transfer sounds even worse than Madman's.

    I'll call it even between Region 1 and Region 4 for the moment.
