Legend of the Four Kings — Manga UK Dub Blu-ray Remaster
A Classic 1990s Manga UK Anime — Restored for Modern Viewing
Legend of the Four Kings is one of those titles that anyone who collected anime in the UK or Europe during the 1990s will instantly recognise. Released through Manga UK as a 12-episode set on VHS — and later circulating through fan DVD compilations — this version of the story has remained a cult classic among collectors of vintage British and European anime releases. This Blu-ray remaster preserves that specific 12-episode UK structure in the best quality currently achievable from available sources.
Important Context — The 12-Episode Structure
Please note that this 12-episode arrangement is not the original Japanese television broadcast order. It is the Western re-edit and compilation that Manga UK created specifically for the VHS release — bundling two to three original Japanese episodes together to form each volume in this set. This makes the episodes longer than standard TV episodes and produces a viewing experience distinct from the original Japanese release. It is the version that an entire generation of UK and European anime fans grew up watching.
This format was commonly seen on UK VHS releases, European anime catalogues, and early fan DVD and Blu-ray projects throughout the 1990s and 2000s.

This release has been sourced from VHS material, upscaled to 4K, and then downscaled to HD for Blu-ray presentation.
