Sherlock Hound is an animated series created by TMS in 1984. The show features the well-known detective Sherlock Holmes reimagined as a canine living in London during the Victorian era. The show is an adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's works. However, the show takes a more lighthearted approach to the character and story, making it an enjoyable watch for children as well as adults.

The main characters in the show are Sherlock Hound, Dr. Watson, Inspector Lestrade, and Professor Moriarty. In this adaptation, Sherlock is portrayed as a happy-go-lucky dog with a keen sense of smell and a love for adrenaline-pumping adventures. Dr. Watson is the loyal companion to Sherlock, always ready to help him in any way. The Inspector Lestrade is a bulldog, and Professor Moriarty is depicted as a cunning and evil black cat.

The animation is reminiscent of the classic animated series of the 80s, with bright and vibrant colors used in most scenes. The animation style is also unique, with the characters designed to look like dogs, cats, and other animals, which adds to the humor in the show. The music in the show is notable for its jazzy and upbeat tunes that lend to the show's playful tone.

Each episode of the show is standalone and follows the same formula, where Sherlock Hound solves a mystery that comes his way. Sherlock's case-solving skills are always put to the test as he faces different challenges, including cracking codes, analyzing clues, and outwitting Professor Moriarty at every turn. The mysteries are cleverly written and often resolved in unexpected ways, making each episode a delight to watch.

One of the unique features of the show is the steampunk-inspired gadgets and inventions used by Sherlock and his entourage. The technology used by the characters is anachronistic and imaginative, adding a whimsical quality to the show. For example, Sherlock's magnifying glass doubles up as a telescope, and his hat has a built-in camera. These gadgets are used in unexpected ways, adding to the humor in the show.

Lewis Arquette, Hamilton Camp, Chikao Ohtsuka, Shozo Iizuka, Hiroshi Masuoka, Mitsuo Senda, Hitomi Oikawa, Icsiro Nagai, Kumiko Takizawa, Mayumi Tanaka, Miki Takahashi, Run Sasaki, Ryo Horikawa, and Shou Hayami bring the characters in the show to life with their voice acting. The voice acting is notable for its energy and expressive quality, adding to the show's unique charm.

Overall, Sherlock Hound is an enjoyable animated series suitable for children and adults. The show's humor, animation, and lighthearted take on the classic detective character make it a fun and entertaining watch. The show's unique take on the steampunk genre also adds to its appeal. The series aired in Japan in 1984 and was dubbed and released in English in the United States in 1985, gaining a lot of popularity.
