Best sky original I can't compare it with the anime version as I watched that a million years ago and can't hardly remember, and what's the point anyway. We love this version. Great storytelling, amazing voices, music is so good that I want to put it in my playlist and listen to it on repeat. It's just perfect, I need more shows like this. This show should be way more popular than it is (always think that moonins are sort of popular but not enough). Wife's adores it, kids love it... a true show for the whole family. Also in the calm side, so it a great show for winding down, we watch this all together at dinner time.
