>>889Ah yes, Takarajima is a real classic and I absolutely love it. Having never read Treasure Island the entire anime was incredibly good and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout, especially during the parts on the island itself.
I've already talked about how I felt about the anime in the Dezaki thread on this board:
>>1622, but to reiterate it here for some discussion of the anime itself. I loved the adventure aspect of the anime and enjoyed seeing it mostly from Jim's perspective. I have a soft spot for actual child protags who are thrown into a dangerous situation (Future Boy Conan for example) and have to outsmart and outperform everyone they go up against despite the fact they're only a kid and usually underestimated by everyone which gives them an advantage because you never know how they'll succeed or IF they'll succeed so it's always keeps my interest going.
Character wise, all of them are pretty great. Silver is an amazing character with a great VA, and I loved Grey too and his fate still brings a tear to my eye, seeing someone who seemed unkillable meet his end like that was truly heart wrenching. The art is incredible, as is any Dezaki anime and some of the backgrounds were amazing to look at.
Overall, it's just a fantastic anime that I sort of wish got a dub since I think it could be a good anime for boys around Jim's age but subs are a tough sell.
>I am surprised nobody really talks about it especially with other adaptations of Treasure Island being dug up because of recent memes.What recent memes?
