Leon Professional — Saturday Broadcast

Available · one owner only

Archive note

Promotional poster for a lost anime adaptation of Luc Besson's Leon, commissioned by TV Tokyo and broadcast on K-TV Satellite 80 in the early 1990s. The series reimagined the assassin narrative through rotoscoped animation and manga panel composition, targeting late-night viewership. This artifact suggests a parallel licensing history where anime studios pursued live-action film properties more aggressively than documented records indicate. Collectors of lost broadcast ephemera and alternate anime histories.
