Sherlock Hound
Just finished watching "Sherlock Hound" by Hayao Miyazzki and Kyosuke Mikuriya, released by Discotek Media.
"Sherlock Hound" is a delightful re-imaging of the traditional Sherlock Holmes canon originally written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in a vividly stylized Victorian Steam Punk World brought to life in the usual great Studio Ghibli style.
Doyle's great detective and his partner along with the world they inhabit is, I think the proper term is, a canine anthropomorphic one that adds a few new delightful twists. Mrs. Hudson is not only the owner of the boarding house on 221 B Baker Street, she has a fully realized past as a pioneering aviator who's husband tragically died in an airplane crash years before Sherlock Holmes took rooms in her house. Her skills as an aviator also come into play in several stories, and she even manages to unwittingly win the heart of Professor Moriarty when he kidnaps her in an attempt to humiliate his arch nemesis Sherlock Hound.
Professor Moriarty is true to his original ruthless self in the Doyle stories in this anime adaptation, and while there is no Limehouse Express; the Professor does have a nifty airplane that he manages to make last-minute escapes in.
"Sherlock Hound" is great fun.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
TEN STARS!
