This show was quite enjoyable. The story is great since it's based off an amazing book. I don't know if I would've enjoyed the show as much if it weren't for the book nostalgia. But the art is great, the story is gripping and constantly keeps you on the edge of your seat. I'd recommend this show for kids and adults alike.

To me, this show brings back quite a few good memories, having watch this in about grade three. It inspired me to learn more about Bats and to read the actual book. But enough about that, lets look at the review. First off, the animation is pretty solid. The transition to a scary bat to ones with humanoid features was a pretty good transition. The show had combined a couple of CGI scenes that weren't those perfect Hollywood effects, but were still pretty nice. Second:The voice acting was pretty good, and the book to TV transition had some changes, some for good, others not so much. It was originally meant to last over 36 episodes, but the budget didn't quite last, and had instead ended the show at the end of the Book "Silverwing" but had some "Sunwing" scenes in it as well to not make the show a (Complete) cliffhanger. In the end, I give it a 7/10, for good animation and voice acting, and a fairly solid TV adaptation. It really wouldn't do much justice if you didn't already read the book, or watch the show growing up. But I'd still recommend watching the show if you feel like watching a fantasy show. After all, how many books get a thirteen episode TV adaptation, rather than just a cinema?

The first time i saw the preview commercial for the show on teletoon, i thought it would be another one of those wannabe shows that wouldn't last long...I was wrong, well right too, cause when i first saw it, i was amazed that it caught my attention the first 10 minutes, it has a very interesting storyline, based on the book but still the TV series was a bit different from the book.But one thing i was right about was that it would'nt last long, its only over 10 episode...But i enjoyed the show so much, i even taped it for future entertainment. I would recommend this show for all ages, perfect for little kids and even for adults.

I had first heard of 'Silverwing' when it first started airing on Teletoon, however never did watch it. Recently I found the books for cheap at the thrift store and, after reading them, knew I had to see the series. I purchased a videotape containing every episode off of someone. I was expecting the storyline to be watered down, full of fillers, and to deviate far from the book.What I saw was the exact opposite.'Silverwing' is pure, epic action, straight from the beginning. The show, though changing small aspects of the book, remains very faithful to the overall flow of the original novels. The key points are all still there, and in some places, better explained. The animation is rather good for a TV series, and the voice-acting is bang-on.'Silverwing' also has a very strong movie-feel to it. The tape I bought had all the episodes edited together with the beginning and end credits absent (except for the beginning and end of the entire tape), as well as all commercials cut. Each new episode began immediately where the last one left off. No jumping around (something Watership Down had a tendency of doing throughout the first two seasons).Though this is a cartoon, it is not exactly for children. Younger kids might be frightened at times. As for adults, well, I'm 21 and hold Silverwing amongst my favourite TV shows of all time.My fingers are crossed that they make new episodes of Silverwing.
