Sonic X American Debut Discussion.

[Stone Ill]

Sorry. It's just that some people don't know sarcasm when they hear it, and don't bother reading posts after the initial post to see what it really is, i.e.: what I said = joke

[Mr. Snackpants]

[ThirdMarioBro]

I don't want to fight, I just want to defend Sonic X. That is all.

LONG LIVE SONIC X!!!
I've seen both the Japaneese and US versions. I love em both. BTW, the episode where Sonic & Knux fight is episode 5 (Clash! Sonic vs. Knuckles) and it ROCKS. I love the line "Kids, never use formula one race cars to chase hedgehogs". It trashes all those years of "Sonic Sez" segments. Misspelling intended. I'll say it again,

SONIC X ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! 10/10

Where the hell is Kameko and the rest of that Sonic Fanclub? I woulda thought they'd be all over this.

[Stone Ill]

They're probably off bootlegging the episode as we speak.

[Shellfox]

Given a choice I'd rather watch Underground than sit through X if they keep the show they way it is. Yes I've seen teh screen caps of near 12 eps at Team Artail, but honsetly the Dub of the show is going to kill it for me unless they kick it up a notch

Right here! *raises Sonic Fanclub flag* Sorry I'm late, but I just got back from outta town and watched the recording. Review time for the Sneak Peek...

Intro: Don't like it, period. Surely they could've done something better than that. Of course, knowing me I'm probably gonna be humming it by the 4th ep.

Voices: Thus far, Knuckles' voice actor is the best, followed by Amy's. Both voices suit the character well. Personally, I can see Amy as being very 'Tea-like', the cheerleader. Knux's is great, I can tell even from those two tiny sentences. Perfect for a rough n' tough loner. As for the others...

Sonic: 4/5
Tails: 3/5
Robotnik: 3/5
Chris: 3/5
Cream: 2/5
Cheese: Who cares?
N/A: Rouge, Big, and Shadow

The Dub: Well, it's not TOTALLY butchered (yet). I agree, the scenes were a bit choppy, and I kinda missed Sam Speed's speech (try saying that 3 times fast ), but it stayed fairly close to the original script.

Bottom Line: Given a chance, this latest Sonic cartoon could do quite well, if some of the VA's would quit trying so hard, and just let the personality flow. Regardless, I'm gonna watch it; I watched ALL of Sonic Underground, so I think I can deal with this.

*waves* I'm here!
Just searching for DragonHeart stuff...

[Trunks]

hey im hear too. The shows goin to ROCK 10/10 and I dont know why but that song is really good.

[Dane E5R]

Sounds a lot like a song from Sonic Adventure 2.

It's good to have someone like you here. You are a true Sonic fan with a respectable opinion. Thank you for your honesty, fairness, and politeness.
Personally, I kinda liked the intro. It's not better than Sonic Drive, but it's at least equal.....or maybe I'm just to caught up in the joy of having Kirby, TMNT, Sonic, Mega Man, and next year F-Zero:Falcon Tradition on at the same time. This is no longer a golden year for animation for me, it is a platinum year. Life is good......"very" good. Back to Sonic X. The US version could have been "far" worse, but I think it will work out. They even put the butt slap thing from episode 3 into the intro. I just knew they would hack that out, but they didn't. Heck, even the guns were left alone. Things have worked out better than I expected, except for Tails' voice. We all knew someone was gonna get stuck with Ash's voice, but WHY TAILS? Well, I'm looking forward to hearing episode 7 in english. I hope they don't edit out the emotional stuff with Chris' mom. It's stuff like that which give Sonic X character. The kinda character & respect which no Video game Animated series has had since SatAM. Sonic X is way past too cool & totally rules. I'm proud to have it alongside TMNT. Thanks for listening to a life long Sonic fan's rant, and good day.

[Dr. Doom]

It was already one?

Man, **** getting up saturday mornings, it sucks.

[TigerClaw]

I love Sonic X, I loved how they explained how Sonic and the rest of the characters ended up in the human world cause I always wonder why in the Sonic Adventure games, There always around some civilized urban enviroment, This new series is going to be very entertaining to the fact theres gonna be so much outragousness and chaos when Eggman and Sonic battle each other, And these humans are caught in the middle of the action as Eggman wants to take over this world.

[Kameko]

I give it 1/10, maybe at 2/10 at a stretch. It's horrible.


~ The music. The theme song is painfully corny, and frankly, annoying.

~The voices. Most are acceptable, even Sonic's, which I was worried about. And I can even live with Amy's voice, which i never would have thought possible. Bu Tails and Cream? Tails sounds like a squeaky little girl, and Cream sounds like a frickin' woman. Tails is an 8-year-old boy for crying out loud, and Cream is SIX years old! My God, I'm not expecting perfection, but this is ridiculous!!

~The way the scenes were edited. In some cases, they left out stuff that I, personally, really think they should have left in -- namely, the eyecatches and the 'sonic boom' explanation.

~And something else is really grating on my nerves. When Eggman's base is engulfed by Chaos Control, it really bugs me -- for some weird reason -- that Knuckles says it used to be Chaos Control. 'Used to be'? In the Japanese version, Knuckles just calls it Chaos Control. Considering that the words are almost identical from Japanese to English, I really can't understand this change at all.

They grow on you, trust me.

I still ahte that they call him Eggman.

...er, why? That's his name.

And aren't Chaos emeralds genarely Green?

The original Master Emerald was indeed green, but when it was shattered, thus creating the seven smaller chaos emeralds, each emerald took on a color of thier own. One of these smaller emeralds is green, the others are not.

I thought Knuckles had potential, but once more he didn't do much, so its hard to say.

Give it a few more episodes -- he's very well represented in this series.

I'm going to hate cream, I know it!

If it weren't for her voice, she wouldn't be as bad. She's actually almost nauseatingly cute in the Japanese version.

I like the concept of sonic being sent to a human world and for the most part the animation looks great (even if the robots seem to be the strong point of the show thus far), but I really think if teh VA is kept at this level I'd rather they take it off mid season.

Like many cartoons, the animation varies from episode to episode. Ep1 was very nicely done, but, for instance, Ep19 is quite sloppy.

After the first ep I'd rather they give us another season of Sonic Underground

Did you ever actually watch Sonic Underground? Heck, the English version of Sonic X is ten times better than Sonic Underground ever was, and that is saying something.

You know, I was researching echidnas for a story I'm working on, and I discovered something by looking at the picture of a young echidna -- they don't appear to have visible ears after all. I guess their ears are more akin to those of birds and reptiles. *shrug*

Uh... what??

Thank you.

Ah, you want episode 5. *realizes ThirdMarioBro already said that* Well. ANyway. You'll like it, provided they don't screw it over as badly as they did episode 1. Especially where the music is concerned.

Hey man, I don't have internet at home. I had to put off answering this, for obvious reasons. (that being, this thing is loooong)

One more point -- there is, at least, some really good character development stuff in this series, provided, once again, that they don't edit it all out...
