Sherwood

The animation is great, the voice acting is fantastic.

Sadly the script isn't consistent at so many levels. The main story had all the ingredients to be a a long lasting series but it felt like nobody proofread the script. I understand the need to create situations to build an episode around, but (without having to give a spoiler warning) it's hard to believe in a hero who goes into a warzone with a kid who just wants to come along for the ride! However this was the thing, the story was let down by too many incidents of smart people doing dumb things, not for comedy but to simply pad out scenes.

If you're reading this, don't watch it. It starts well and ends well (very well I thought) but so much of the series is pointless padding and when it finally picks up at the end, there's no season 2.

This show is a remake of the Robin Hood story, set in the far future in the year 2270. Some may grumble about the computer animation in this show, but I think it fits very well with the characters, making them all more expressive than ever. It's sad there aren't any LGBTQ characters in this series, but the story is the strongest part of this series, as are the themes expressed, with a major focus on climate change. I like this series a lot, but Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet, Sym-Bionic Titan, Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, Cleopatra in Space, and Adventure Time are stronger and have more world-building, more fleshed out characters, and everything, which is why I am giving this its current ranking.

Sherwood is rated 5.8 on this site overall, but the truth is it's much better than that. It's true it gets fairly political and focuses on climate change, but at the same time, it's a fun, slightly dark sci-fi world with great characters and cool tech. Visually, it was quite enjoyable, similar to the Deep. It has a bit of a dark feel at times as things get worse and worse, but it also has some optimism and a strong spirit and will throughout that make it a lot of fun. I enjoyed it quite a bit and had a hard time deciding between seven and eight stars. I gave it seven because it was too short and a bit heavy and dramatic for some reason. But it was still nice to watch.

I found this on YouTube originals and I must say I was very impressed by this series. It's not a story based on Robin Hood, but inspired by Robin Hood. The animation is very very good and I did like the story. In fact I watched all 10 episodes in 3 days. I liked the fact that it was set in an apocalyptic time and thought character development was good. I do look forward hoping there will be a season 2.

YouTube original is deligent with producing fresh ideas, however it should invest more into what makes a show top tier. That is, better scripts and bigger production. Sherwood got me tire by episode 5, whereby I couldn't finish the season. The production is cartoonish with a flimsy script and weak plots. Hope they'll reconsider their budgets in the future.
