AniWorthSherlock Hound
Introduction
Loosely based on the "Sherlock Holmes" series by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Hound turns all the classic characters into dogs. The canine Sherlock Holmes, his assistant Watson, and housemaid Mrs. Hudson work together to solve mysteries. The culprit is usually Professor Moriarty and his gang, who use all kinds of wacky contraptions to steal what they want.

I can't imagine you're here for any reason other than Hayao Miyazaki's involvement in this children's show. If you're a Miyazaki completionist, you'll want to watch the show. It's got that Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro energy and vibrancy in the artwork and motion. The story, on the other hand, well...
You can tell a lot of passion was put into this series, particularly in making every frame alive with motion and color, particularly in the incredibly-done HD remaster.
The series is episodic with essentially no through-lines or development. There are a handful of really solid episodes and many, many others that are terribly predictable, underwritten, and boring. It's obvious this was written for kids, but kids deserve more thoughtful writing too.
The main proble…

What a delicious bit of nostalgia and 1980s charm. I can remember watching Sherlock Hound on VHS when I was a kid and now being able to watch the whole series as an adult felt kind of like finally getting the platinum trophy on a PlayStation 3 game that was sitting on the bottom shelf of my closet for years.
The story is straight forward. A combination of 26 individual capers that pits the world's greatest detective against the world's most brilliant criminal. The episodes are extremely repetitive with the same recycled formula over and over. Moriarty steals something with a goofy invention, Hound and Watson foil the plan, and Scotland Yard's police officers flail about making human pyramids trying to apprehend the criminals who always escape and live to steal another day. But even after…

To condense the content of this review into a single sentence: if you enjoyed "Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro" then you will be able to fully immerse yourself in this series, as well! The style of direction in this series is very similar to that film, as well as the scenic designs! And if you're a fan of the original Sherlock Holmes, all the better! "Meitantei Holmes" is a warm-hearted collection of episodic stories revolving around the most famous fictional detective, diurnally living in an anthropomorphized world!

Probably the weakest link in this series is its continuity. Towards the beginning of the series, Professor Moriarty takes the beautiful Mary Hudson (part of the ※triad of Sherlock's companions) hostage, and falls…

I love this anime ever since I got it from my local Library. I found it by accident while looking for a different video (which seemed to not actually be there) and so picked it up.
At first, I thought this was going to be serious like all the other Sherlock Homes creations out there but this is like a children’s version of the story. It feels strange to see Professor Moriarty actually taking part in the crimes instead of just having his henchmen doing it. It pulls away a lot from the normal story line with the difference that each show can pretty much be standing on its own and you don’t need much to understand them. It’s like a crime of the week and I don’t remember if there was any that actually went 2 shows long.
I like how whimsical they make the story and it has some of the feel a…
