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.

The story is awesome, the characters are lovable, the animations are great. and it has many memorable moments. They all use swords but it contains no gore (obviously because it's show for kids) and it's historically somewhat accurate.It's funny and full of adventure.And it always reminds me of Sinbad. I have so many good memories watching this show with my little sister. It was a pretty good show. It's a shame it doesn't have more episodes. I remember I saw my little sister watching this. I tried to change the channel but she didn't let me so I sat down and watched it for a bit. and I really liked it (I was 16 at the time). I would STILL watch it if it had more episodes.

I just found this show a week ago on youtube and immediately got attached on the first episode--this show comforts me in ways i cant describe and i really really really love this show. Especially the way they make the women so capable and hot and strong and so alive. They have a personality! Its just so...its everything to me. As in i will cry if i even have a single thought of any of the main cast hurt emotionally. Kind of pathetic but thats what's makes it means so much to me. It makes me so vulnerable and open, something that i havent been able to do in such a long time. Its such a shame that it doesnt have any more episodes, but this show will stay in my heart forever. I love this show.
