I rewatched this show recently because of how much I remember absolutely adoring it in my childhood and was pleasently surprised to find that I still do adore it! The plot was incredibly engaging with lots of action, romance, an addictive soundtrack and badass characters. Sure the animation or voiceover (I watched the english dub) might not be the best at times, but remember the show was made in 2004 so that is to be expected. I definitely plan on rewatching because of how attatched I got to the show which doesn't usually happen when I rewatch my childhood favourites since the plots never seem to have any depth to them and are too childish which, I can assure you is not true for this one. Though it is a cartoon it depicts everything quite realistically which is, I believe the reason it was so enjoyable to watch. It was super fun to "transport" in a totally different but fascinating world where I could empathize with the charachters whilst taking a break from the real world. I'm a huge fan of The Last of the Mohicans' book and movie so I deem myself qualified enough to say that the show didn't disappoint. With a captivating story, well-written characters and lots of entertainment that it offers, I give this show my highest recommendation!

* As noted, I honestly say that I can judge this show only from my memory. I watched it some 8 years ago when I was 14 on a badly dubbed Serbian tv channel but I can still remember the heroes, the villains, the damsels in distress, and the visceral war surrounding it all.

* The show has some similarities with Michael Mann's version of the story but the cartoon is a giant in comparison, with 26 episodes of constant western galore. The director and writers are true western fans and it is shown in every sweeping shot of an action scene. They are not scared to show plenty of violence and blood as well as people dying. This brings me to the most important asset, the characters. Every character is a stereotype to the point that some of them are plain caricatures and as previously mentioned the Serbian dub really doesn't help. I think the same about the English dub as well. The art of the show is trying to look somewhat like Disney's Pocahontas but it comes of "plasticy" and very low detail in the backgrounds. Still, the very simplistic art helps the animation as the humans here move very lively, especially in action scenes. The female characters sometimes look like barbie dolls (when motionless) as well as act like them until much later on.

* But all of these bad things are outweighed by the excitement and many fun and tense action scenes that never feel too forced. Characters although not that good can be a lot of fun. Kids above 8 can and should watch this. The setting and designs seem authentic. The show is never dull and as a kid, I would give it an 8-9, now that I see its many weaknesses even in sound production which I forgot to mention I can only support it in what it pulled off. A very epic and exciting story with good closure.

P. S. The intro song is great and very victorious.
