I'm getting used to the choppy editing. The cheapness of the animation is annoying, but you just adjust to it. The overdubbing's pretty bad, though, and everything's been toned down: Kimba says his human friend is "resting" by the well, but we all know his friend is being picked clean by vultures by the well. After watching Gatchaman - much more violent than Beetle of the Plants and so much more Japanese - I'm aware that some of the Kimba story may be radically different from the original!
