A co-production between the Japanese studio TMS Entertainment and the Italian channel RAI, Sherlock Hound (a.k.a. Meitantei Holmes) is a Funny Animal adaptation series of the Great Detective Sherlock Holmes, featuring the characters... as dogs! Hayao Miyazaki, famous for his later work with Studio Ghibli, worked on six episodes of the series (directing five of them himself), starting in 1981.Unfortunately, there were problems with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's estate, which led to a suspension in production after only six episodes were completed. By the time the issues were resolved, Miyazaki had turned to Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, never to work in TV again, and the remaining series was directed by Kyosuke Mikuriya. The complete series was finally broadcast on TV Asahi from 1984 to 1985. Episode 3 (one of the Miyazaki episodes) actually aired in the U.S. before it aired in Japan, as it had been dubbed into English in 1982 by TMS and aired on HBO in late 1983 as The Adventure of Sherlock Hound, which marked possibly the first-ever U.S. TV broadcast of a Miyazaki work.note HBO would also later air the Miyazaki-despised original English dub of Nausicaa, Warriors of the Wind. Episodes 5 and 9 were also screened in Japanese cinemas in a double bill with Nausicaa, several months before making it to Japanese TV. Episodes 4 and 10 were later screened in a double bill with Laputa: Castle in the Sky.This anime is really a Lighter and Softer interpretation of Sherlock Holmes, but there are really awesome moments (especially in the episodes made by Miyazaki). If you like anime with more innocence and more of a sense of adventure than fighting, like those of Studio Ghibli, you will like this one.The series is not related to the children's novels by Karen Wallace, or those by Brenda Sivers, which have a similar premise. Also, this series, despite the name, isn't adapted from The Hound of the Baskervilles.Discotek Media (and before them, Pioneer Entertainment) have released the series on home video. | |

Inspector Lestrade | |
| Sherlock Hound / int_1300dc5c | comment |
Inspector Lestrade: What Sherlock Holmes adaptation would be complete without him? Although his depiction as a big, beefy bulldog fits more closely with the books' descriptions of Gregson. Lestrade was described as being small and skinny, with something of a weasel about him (perhaps a dachshund would have been more appropriate). | |

Failed a Spot Check | |
| Sherlock Hound / int_21e5b9c7 | comment |
Failed a Spot Check: Two in a row in "Mrs Hudson is Kidnapped" Moriarty blackmails Hound into stealing the Mona Lisa in exchange for Mrs Hudson. At the exchange, Moriarty should have known that the painting Hound produced was a fake on sight - the painting Hound has is a rolled-up canvas, and the Mona Lisa was painted on wood. When his scheme starts falling apart, Moriarty claims that Hound, Watson, and Lestrade can't get to him because they're on the opposite side of a river. At which point Hound informs Moriarty that the river in question is only ankle deep. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Sherlock Hound / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: In "Mrs. Hudson is Taken Hostage", Moriarty appears to be falling in love with Mrs. Hudson, playing She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not and imagining the two of them married. When he releases her, he just says he'll never involve her in his battle with Hound and that he would be a different man if he'd met her earlier in his life. Afterwards, Moriarty's Villainous Crush is never brought up again - though he does honor his word to Mrs. Hudson: apart from one episode when he tricked Hound into a trap by making him think Mrs. Hudson was in danger, the only times when she is endangered from that point on are when she chooses to actively involve herself in the case, and thus places herself in the line of fire. | |

Kid Hero | |
| Sherlock Hound / int_2673425b | comment |
Kid Hero: A frequent Guest-Star Party Member, thanks to the large amount of original characters. While Hound is the one to find the scheme or stolen item, the kids featured all have at least one talent for the episode that comes in handy for taking Moriarty down. In "The Green Balloon", the son of the lighthouse worker was the one sending messages when trapped and knew enough chemistry to make a knockout gas to deal with Moriarty's men. In "A Sacred Image", the dock kids tear down Hound's runabout for the engine to put in their boat. Aside from Hound and Watson needing to use the kids' boat to chase Moriarty, two of the kids sabotage Moriarty's boat so that Hound and the others can catch up and reclaim the episode's prize. | |

After he passed away, his daughter Eileen found his journal and discovered his life as a criminal, which inspires her to become a thief herself and complete her father's work. She fails as well due to Hound, but willingly quits the criminal life after Hound and Watson convince her to take up a different way of life. | |

Thou Shalt Not Kill | |
| Sherlock Hound / int_2f94135c | comment |
Thou Shalt Not Kill: Zig-zagged. Moriarty states that he doesn't need to kill anyone, but apparently makes an exception to Hound who he has attempted to shoot down a few times whenever they get into a showdown. He once had a man held at gunpoint by his two henchmen and attempted to strike him down with an axe when he tried to escape. Perhaps Moriarty just wants to kill on whims. | |

Minion with an F in Evil: More on Smiley since he has somewhat of a limited intellect and a bit of an optimist. Amongst the three main antagonists (who can also be jerks with hearts of gold), he's the nicest. And several times, he winds up giving the heroes hints to unraveling his boss's plans. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Sherlock Hound / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: Chikao Ohtsuka's later role as Dr. Eggman in Sonic Adventure and Sonic X series bears a great resemblance to his character Moriarty here. Years before Sherlock Hound came out, Chikao Ohtsuka voiced another similar villain named Professor Garigari in Toei's third Puss 'n Boots movie, Puss 'n Boots: Around the World in 80 Days. This might have been the inspiration behind Ohtsuka voicing Moriarty. | |

Every Car Is a Pinto: Most vehicles Moriarty commandeers will either blow up, suffer catastrophic engine failure, or just start breaking down close to the end of a chase, if not the end. The police department also has a lot of the Alleged Car variety; at least one gets wrecked if they're ever chasing Moriarty. | |

What a Piece of Junk | |
| Sherlock Hound / int_437e70f5 | comment |
What a Piece of Junk: Holmes' runabout, a Benz Viktoria. It's lampshaded by several characters that his car is outdated even during the time period of the show. However, despite how many times it gets parted out and/or smashed to pieces, it is still quite fast and can even pull a railway freight car for a long period of time. Considering how much time Holmes spends tinkering with it on-screen, and how it ends up when pushed hard for a long time, it's an exemplary representative of this trope. | |

Improvised Weapon: Several times this will happen: Watson manages to weaponize the contents of a picnic basket during an air race after Moriarty nearly machine-guns him and Mrs. Hudson out of the sky. First he drops a chicken leg into the slipstream of Mrs. Hudson's plane and hits Smiley. Then Watson pours a flask of tea into the slipstream, hitting Todd. Last, but not least, he unleashes a large cake, hitting Moriarty right in the face. For an encore, Mrs. Hudson knocks Todd and Smiley off the plane with a thrown apple. Three kidnapped French art students weaponize their art supplies (canvas and paint tubes) to attack Smiley and Todd in order to steal a key ring from them. | |

Beware the Silly Ones | |
| Sherlock Hound / int_6c75e0e4 | comment |
Beware the Silly Ones: Lighter and Softer it may be, but do not discount Moriarty. He's hammy, over-the-top, and chews the scenery at every opportunity. He was also willing to shoot someone and then axe that same person when the gun was out of ammunition (only stopped when Hound shot off the axe-head). Moriarty nearly backs Hound into a corner on a couple of cases. | |

Because You Were Nice to Me | |
| Sherlock Hound / int_738d1a0f | comment |
Because You Were Nice to Me: Moriarty kidnaps Mrs. Hudson in one episode as a way of making Hound do what he wants. Mrs. Hudson does a remarkable job of cleaning his hideout (turning it from a disheveled mess to a nearly estate-like interior over the course of an afternoon) and makes his favorite meal because his underlings overheard it at one point. She is only momentarily surprised by her kidnapping and does it because she can. Moriarty is so touched that not only does he release her willingly even after Hound has revealed the scheme failed, he promises to her face to never involve her again. One episode has a child pickpocket stealing a jewel - the episode's focus - from Moriarty's otherwise well-executed plan. While Watson, eager to get the jewel after piecing things together, continually gets rebuffed as to where the kid hid the jewel, Hound is much gentler, obliging the kid's invite to tea, inviting her over for dinner, and going to extreme lengths to protect her from Moriarty. The kid willingly relinquishes the jewel's hiding place to Hound at the end, mostly because Hound could have found the jewel and declared it a success, but instead gave chase when Moriarty kidnapped her and let her reveal it on her own time. Let's be fair, Moriarty could have used the girl as a hostage if he suspected that Hound found the jewel first. | |

Grenade Hot Potato: In "The Stormy Getaway", Smiley and Todd play hot potato with a bundle of dynamite with a lit fuse. The dynamite eventually ends up going into the furnace of Moriarty's steam car. Smiley and Todd breathe a sigh of relief before realizing exactly what has happened and jumping for cover before the steam car explodes. A different episode has Smiley and Todd do this when they raid a Japanese exchange student's dormitory. Todd throws the grenade at the student, who bats it back with his walking stick. Smiley and Todd then try to foist the bomb onto each other before throwing it at the student again, only for the student to golf-whack the bomb into them. | |

Status Quo Is God: Moriarty's plans are always foiled. Even after getting paid for doing somebody else's dirty work, in one way or another, he loses it all through sheer bad luck. "Crime doesn't pay", indeed. To his credit, he manages to escape getting apprehended by Scotland Yard, though not without losing money to the tasks of repairing his vehicles. Speaking of which, Lestrade always swears that he'll get Moriarty. He never does, unless you count that one episode where he and his men manage to grab back stolen gold which had been cast into a statue of Moriarty. | |

Actionized Adaptation: Sherlock Holmes focuses mostly on the titular detective's keen intellect and how he seems to solve the most improbable cases; even more action-heavy adaptations (like the Guy Ritchie movies) put Holmes' intelligence at the fore. Sherlock Hound is involved in at least one chase per episode, frequently has Stuff Blowing Up, and follows more of a Reverse Whodunnit with regards to where Moriarty is hiding now, and focuses more on Hound's tenacity to protect or reclaim the item, with most of the legwork of the case specifics done off-screen. | |

Setting Update | |
| Sherlock Hound / int_af4d6174 | comment |
Setting Update: The series seems to be set in the 1900/1910s, with cars, airplanes, and clothes (roughly) from this era instead of the traditional Holmesian Victorian London. This is somewhat confusing, as one episode that centered around counterfeiting involved newly minted coins dated 1894 with Queen Victoria on them, and Holmes and Watson are seen travelling in a Benz Viktoria automobile of the period, suggesting either that the episodes are spread out over a number of years or the aircraft featured in the show are intended to provide a lashing of steampunk technology. Though still within the Official Canon — Holmes was officially active from 1891 to 1914. | |

Improbable Aiming Skills: Moriarty is about to chop someone with an axe. Hound runs up, shoots the axe handle, at the base of the head, with a quick draw from a revolver, through a window, from at least 20 feet away, and doesn't even scratch Moriarty. The most damage that Moriarty gets is getting bonked on the noggin with the blunt part of the axe head. Mrs. Hudson shoots Moriarty's anchor rope with Watson's revolver while riding a speeding sports car. Note that the anchor was buried in the wing rib of an airplane and there was a bottle of nitroglycerin about to go off. | |

Holmes / Hound here is more of a Nice Guy than any of his predecessors and most of his successors. He's also frequently got a revolver in his coat and a damn good shot. Unlike Moriarty, the gun is never aimed at anyone and it is mostly for disruption of a plan (gun violence is not a good idea in front of kids, plus brandishing a revolver tends to get an equally belligerent response). | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Sherlock Hound / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: As mentioned above the show is a more kid-friendly version of Sherlock. According to the art book, it seems they were thinking of a darker storyline, with Sherlock digging up graves and using drugs, but decided against it. That being said, at times the series comes close to implying some grisly violence, such as an episode where Professor Moriarty is prepared to strike a man dangling from a windowsill with an axe in any number of places. The fact that a gunshot from Sherlock breaks the axe handle and conks Moriarty on the head with the axe blade's dull end demonstrates aptly that the show still has a comic prerogative. One episode shows that Mrs. Hudson's unrequited suitors were about to commit suicide (out of heartbreak) on her wedding day. Thankfully, they didn't really kill themselves. | |

Continuity Snarl | |
| Sherlock Hound / int_df582b0b | comment |
Continuity Snarl: In the second episode, "The Crown of Mazalin", Watson first moves in with Hound and meets Mrs. Hudson for the first time. Hound and Moriarty already know each other; however, in a later episode, "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle", Hound and Moriarty face each other, and it is implied that this is the first meeting between the two. The reason for this, is because "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle", as well as "Treasure Under the Sea", were released prior to the actual TV series with the release of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. The Japanese TV release version remedies this problem by removing the scene in question, but the scene remains in the English dub of the show. This particular continuity error exists in the original books, although in different stories. Moriarty is discussed in 'The Valley of Fear', which takes place before 1891, but in 'The Final Problem' Watson has never heard of him. The sixth episode, "The Green Balloon", has Hound use Mrs. Hudson's contacts with the aviator community to get the loan of a seaplane, and again in the ninth, "Treasure Under The Sea", to get an airship. But it isn't until the tenth, "The White Cliffs of Dover", that it was revealed that her late husband was a pilot and that she was on a first-name basis with virtually every other pilot in London. Given that Moriarty's pterodactyl plane from "Blue Carbuncle" was a plot point in that episode, it may have been made in the same batch of episodes before an ordering was decided. | |

Disguised in Drag | |
| Sherlock Hound / int_e37f19 | comment |
Disguised in Drag: Every time the villains need to disguise themselves, Smiley is often given the female role. Sherlock Hound does this briefly in at least one episode and manages to fool female police officers. | |

Expy | |
| Sherlock Hound / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Professor Moriarty's design is loosely inspired by another monocled wolf, Dr. Garigari from Puss in Boots: Around the World in 80 Days. In the Japanese dub of both works, the two even share the same voice actor, Chikao Ohtsuka. Lestrade's features bear a distinct similarity to Inspector Zenigata from the Lupin III Red Jacket series, on which Hayao Miyazaki had previously worked on. The dock pups from "A Sacred Image Disappears" are this for the Baker Street Irregulars. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business | |
| Sherlock Hound / int_e83f211c | comment |
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: In "Mrs. Hudson is Kidnapped". Hound gets so distraught over Moriarty using Mrs. Hudson to threaten him he actually gets resigned to following Moriarty's orders. It takes some damn quick thinking on Hound's part to get out of it. | |

Early-Bird Cameo: Smiley and Todd appear in the first episode tending to the fire that the ship Sherlock Hound was aboard which they later sabotaged because the pirates chasing it are after one of the passengers. They officially become Moriarty's henchmen by the next episode. | |

Beware the Nice Ones | |
| Sherlock Hound / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: Smiley, believe it or not. When he thought Moriarty's sleeping gas actually killed Mrs. Hudson, he starts chasing him and Todd with an axe. When she does finally come to, Smiley orders them to give her something to drink. They obliged. Holmes / Hound here is more of a Nice Guy than any of his predecessors and most of his successors. He's also frequently got a revolver in his coat and a damn good shot. Unlike Moriarty, the gun is never aimed at anyone and it is mostly for disruption of a plan (gun violence is not a good idea in front of kids, plus brandishing a revolver tends to get an equally belligerent response). Mrs. Hudson is usually calm, sweet, and polite. But she's also a talented pilot, race car driver, and crack pistol shot. | |

Pet the Dog | |
| Sherlock Hound / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: In the episode "Mrs. Hudson is Taken Hostage", Mrs. Hudson is taken hostage by Moriarty. Despite being kidnapped, Mrs. Hudson treats Moriarty very kindly. Moriarty is so moved, once his plan blows up in his face he releases her and vows never to intentionally involve her in his plans again. And he keeps that promise — apart from two incidents where she takes an active role in Hound's case of the week and thus places herself in danger, the closest he gets to endangering her in the twenty-two episodes that followed was making Hound think she was in danger to lure him into a trap. | |

Perpetual Poverty: Thanks to Hound stopping every one of Moriarty's on-screen schemes before they can make any significant profit from them, the gang often has cash flow problems. | |

Defiant Captive | |
| Sherlock Hound / int_ffe1bbf8 | comment |
Defiant Captive: Excluding Mrs. Hudson in one episode (who never does anything worse than chide Moriarty over his terribly messy hideout), most people Moriarty captures end up rebelling against him in some way prior to Hound's arrival. Hound and Watson are required to make sure Moriarty doesn't win and recapture them, but the captives aren't going down without a fight. | |
