Its out on region 2 dvd tommorow exclusively to HMV.I haven't seen it i wonder if anyone else here has ?.I was a manga series made by the studio who made Spirited away?.

Sherlock Hound was made by Hayao Miyazaki and by the studio who would later become Ghibli.

I've watched it, and I quite enjoyed it. I now also understand why whenever I type in 'Sherlock Holmes' on DeviantArt, it comes up with an anthromorphic Holmes in Victorian clothing.

I thought that Miyazaki San’s contribution to the series was limited? He directed six of the episodes (two of which were later combined to form a movie-length release), but the remaining 20 were directed by Kyosuke Mikuriya - who also direct on the Ulysses 31 series.
Studio Ghibli was founded after Sherlock Hound was made, but it is a different company: Hound was made for Tokyo Movie Shinsha (TMS Entertainment), which is still in existence, and does both movies and TV - the latest being the current Saint Seiya (Zodiac Knights) series.

I’d quite like to see this, so thanks for mentioning it, number1fan; it interests me both because of the Sherlock connection, which I like, and an opportunity to see how it compares to Grandville, Brian Talbot’s anthropomorphic animal steam-punk Victoriana murder mystery comic series…

I purchased the DVD Boxset from HMV in Piccadilly this morning and have just watched the first episode its pretty good stuff.Im very new to Manga style i never much really cared for it. Nerveless this little box set is great and its only available for a limited time from HMV
