I've got mixed feelings about that SH cartoon myself. The animation is nice, and the premise isn't bad, though I kinda hate seeing Dr. Watson as a robot / cyborg / whatever. I guess they thought today's kiddies are too "sophisticated"
(a nicer term for jaded) to appreciate the original Victorian setting of the stories. I don't think kids in Japan would've minded---as a
former anime fan, I think they seemed to like the older settings of cartoons as well as futuristic. Sherlock Hound, for instance, was set in the early 1900's. Anime wasn't all Galaxy Express and Captain Harlock...
