This is Treasure Island, the classic book brought to life in anime. This is one of the best classics i can possibly think of. Staying really close to the story it really brings the story to life for me. The show executes the atmosphere greatly too. The music,background noises and sound effects are well selected and timed to create some of the most dramatic and lighthearted moments i can imagine. The character portrayal of long john silvers is a very lasting impression. It really shows the duality of his character while maintaining his opposing force threw the entire series. Jim is depicted a bit annoyingly tho, areal brat at times but that's part of the charm when you have a unlikely hero.

The art is great for its time and aged well i think. In my opinion classic anime art is great and i prefer it more too the overly used CG but that's my opinion. Like most classics it uses a warm and bright color pallet most of the time but it is no stranger to deeper shades of blue,purple and black to showcase darker moods.

In summation this is a 10, the story is a great classic novel so you can't really go wrong. The art and sound are done well and really belong in the show. The characters are likable and lasting, Silver is one of my favorite characters in anime of all time. So start watching this and you will be surprised at how much you will love this show.
