It...I like Cagliostro better than you, I guess. It's slapstick action sequences really are fantastic.<br /><br />You can find most if not all of Sherlock Hound on YouTube, posted officially and for free. Unfortunately, it's not great. Somehow it just doesn't have the energy and character to make it interesting, and while it's better-looking (and no doubt higher-budget) than early Lupin III, it's animation doesn't have the same verve or unexpectedness to make it actually exciting. It's very much a work-for-hire project for MIyazaki, although he does put in a couple ideas in a couple episodes that show up later in his work, especially in the White Cliffs of Dover episode where the story of early aviators seems almost like a dry-run for Porco Rosso.StephenMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16588260639227694557noreply@blogger.com
