      [English opening song]

      Chorus: Help me, if you can, to find the smile that I lost / You're the only friend that can resolve all my problems / Sherlock Holmes, our detective so supreme! Sherlock Holmes, you're the only one for me! / Search the darkest corners for the love that I lost / Cure the thing that's torn us from the happiness we knew / Sherlock Holmes, our detective so supreme! Sherlock Holmes, you're the only one for me! / Well, you've got all the qualities we look for in a man / And everybody wants to be like you / With style and intuition, you can lend a helping hand / So lead us all to happiness, where we can start anew! / Help me find the killer of the peace in the world / You're the strongest pillar for a soul to rely on / Sherlock Holmes, our detective so supreme! Sherlock Holmes, you're the only one for me!

    Seriously.. The Best Unserious Sherlock Holmes Ever !
    Here, (Sherlock Holmes) meets (The Absentminded Professor) meets (Magnum P.I.). It was love at first sight when I watched it for the first time in the beginning of the 1990s. Unfortunately, it was aired at 12: AM on our national television at the days of schools. So I used to run towards home, right after the school's day end, and be very pleased whenever I managed to catch the episode entirely.

    The atmosphere was just super, exploding with adventures and great comedy. Still the main reason to enjoy is that directing. There were unforgettable dexterous moments, whether with the chases, or with the shocks of poor Prof. (Moriarty) whenever he failed; the best of them concerns him and some painting's theft. There were also some wonderful creative ideas, such as that incredible car of (Hound). Maybe the only thing to bother is the strange doggy ears of all the characters, in particular the love interest of (Hound) who got beautiful sight and strange ears!

    Originally, the version I watched was the Arabic dubbed one, and really what an effort and what a perfection. The Arabic voices were excellent: (Hound) is confident sedate all the time and droll for the rest of the time, (Moriarty) is totally mad and hysterically hilarious, not to mention the opening credits which is still in my mind with its Arabic lyrics after nearly 20 years. Now, thanks to the internet's wonders, I listened to the other versions of that memorable credits, and let me tell you, the Arabic one's cuteness wins, it goes like this: "Sherlock Holmes is a great detective, Sherlock Holmes you're the unique one..", and so on by a childish chorus.

    Actually, I'm fond of (Arthur Conan Doyle)'s (Sherlock Holmes). He is searching for the truth by the power of logic, so smart, and so serious too. Therefore, at this copy of him, I got the pleasure of enjoying the comic side in him, or looking at him through totally another frame. There were more than "comic" Holmes along the way, for example: (Gene Wilder)'s (The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother - 1975), or (Michael Caine)'s portrayal in (Without a Clue - 1988), or some character of Disney's comic book character (The Sleuth "Sureluck Sleuth") who was doggy too, so dumb, and had (Mickey Mouse) to solve everything for him.. etc. But nothing was like "Sherlock Hound, the Detective", it was real laughable, full of action, and imaginative.

    This show was exactly like its main character; sweet and genius. So the Japanese school of animation is the true "unique one".
