Saladino

I've known about this series almost a decade ago when it was shown on Al-jazeera channel but I couldn't find a english dub until couple of years later, problem was that there were limited episodes of it. Now in 2019, I finally found the full episode list and can safely say this is one of the best CG animated series for numerous reasons, realistic & historical theme, well structured story, great fight scenes, top-notch animation and great voice acting (even in the english dub).

We also get likeable characters like Saladin (the main protagonist), Tarik (the Joker), Duncan (the brute) and Anisa (the heroin), even characters like Behram (the sympathetic villain) and Shadow/Sofia (anti-hero) get shining moments.

The fight scenes are a brilliant mix of middle eastern sword fighting and Silat which makes a fun and sometimes cinematic display of creativity.

My only complaint is there are some plot hole regarding Anisa's sister (who appeared as a cameo in the episode "bad guy"), however this may not be as important as Saladin's quest.

Overall: it's great to see an animated series with a muslim protagonist, but also trying to promote the historical figure with it's professional production, it may even be on par with Star Wars: Clone Wars, if not better and I wish see more of this type of show on TV.
