I just finished re-watching this series, nearly 20 years after I first saw it as a kid. Did it live up to my expectations?
Short answer: Yes!
The animation in Silver Fang isn't even close to what we are used to today, but for some reason that didn't bother me at all. This series strength lies in the strong story-line, the way you connect to its characters (human or dog), and how emotional it is. No other animated series has made me weep, cheer and smile like this one!
So do you need to have watched this as a child to enjoy it? I doubt it; have an open mind, give it a chance and find out for yourself!
You won't regret it!
