History Trivia / SherlockHound

* ActorAllusion: Creator/ChikaoOhtsuka's later role as Dr. Eggman in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' and ''Anime/SonicX'' series bears a great resemblance to his character Moriarty here.
** Years before ''Sherlock Hound'' came out, Chikao Ohtsuka voiced another similar villain named Professor Garigari in [[Creator/ToeiAnimation Toei's]] third ''Puss 'n Boots'' movie, ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wonderful_World_of_Puss_%27n_Boots#Sequels Puss 'n Boots: Around the World in 80 Days]]''. This might have been the inspiration behind Ohtsuka voicing Moriarty.

* InternationalCoproduction: The series was a co-production between Creator/{{RAI}} and Rever Cinematografia in Italy, Creator/TMSEntertainment in Japan.

* ChannelHop: After the series finished its run on Creator/TVAsahi, reruns aired on Kids Station from 2009 to 2012.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: For the longest time, the one-off English dub of one of the Miyazaki-directed episodes (the would-be 11th episode called "A Small Client"), which had aired on HBO several times back in November 1983, was notoriously difficult to unearth. As of December 20, 2021, however, [[SubvertedTrope the full episode has been found and uploaded]] to the Website/InternetArchive, and Creator/DiscotekMedia's later Blu-Ray release includes a remaster of this version of the episode.

** This may have been averted with TMS's one-off 1982 dub of what would later be released as episode 11, which features more realistic British accents. Unfortunately it is impossible to tell, as the voice actors were [[UncreditedRole not credited]].

* DuelingDubs: In 1982, with only the five Miyazaki-directed episodes completed, one of them (aired as episode 3 later on) received a one-off English dubbing, apparently commissioned by TMS (probably as a pilot for a future English release) for which the dubbing studio and voice actors were not credited (indeed, there were no credits at all except production credits for TMS and RAI). This dubbed episode aired on Creator/{{HBO}} in the U.S. in 1983 under the title ''The Adventure of Sherlock Hound'', making it possibly the first of Miyazaki's directorial works to get a U.S. TV broadcast. It features more realistic British accents than the later dub, and may have been dubbed with actual British talent.
