Robin Hood

Today we have another take on the classic legend, this time in the form of a Japanese anime from 1990. A few episodes of this were released on video in the Uk in the early 90's, but I think it aired on Saturday mornings in the US. It's Robin Hood! (aka Robin Hood No Daibouken in Japan)



Robin's home is burned to the ground by the order of Lord Alwine, the Baron of Nottingham. Robin and his cousins flee into Sherwood Forest hoping to escape persecution, and end up encountering a group of bandits led by Little John. Together, Robin and the bandits must stop Lord Alwine's persecutions and greed as well as prevent the greedy Bishop Herfort from adopting Marian Lancaster and obtaining her family's wealth.
