Sonic -- Whats his new direction

U2WaTCHer · 04-12-2004, 02:50 PM

I know sonic X just ended here in the US ever notice they called it a season finale not a series finale mabie it will be back as a dif series like power ranchers in a different style. Because why would fox show it twice if it was doing that bad its like showing cubix more since I think I read that was cancelled I personally like to see the old am style show come back when robotnic has taken over and sonic and the freedom fighters have to fight for what they have

*MrPliggins* · 04-12-2004, 03:22 PM

If I'm not mistaken..Sonic has been doing good here in the US, but it is Japan who has stopped production making it. However, all of the episodes have not yet aired in the US, so there will probably be another season.

*Kameko* · 04-12-2004, 03:41 PM

A. What you saw of the US version of Sonic X (presumably episode 26, or thereabouts) WAS only a 'season' finale, not the series finale (which won't be until episode 52) There's been (I believe) three Japanese seasons of Sonic X (Japanese tv seasons run back to back, btw).

B. Japan has aired 3 seasons of Sonic X already; the US has shown only 1.

C. However, a sequel to Sonic X has already been announced. (In Japan, a certain number of episodes are produced and aired (in this case, 52) and if it does well, a 'sequel' series is produced (in this case, most likely picking up where this one left off).)

D. I loved SatAm as much as the next person, and I'd love to have seen a third season, but I really think that ship has sailed. All the animators, voice actors, and writers have certainly by now moved on to other things.

*Anarchistguy* · 04-12-2004, 04:13 PM

About the "next season of Sonic X" thing, it can't be true. TMS stopped production because of the lack of interest by fans. If Sonic X was more like the japanese version of the OVA, where he was WAAAAYYY more agile (I was expecting this and got utterly disappointed), this series would be GOLD!!!

I know, I know, I keep repeating myself BUT IT'S TRUE.

*ZariusTwo* · 04-12-2004, 06:31 PM

Yeha, fans have to accept that Sonic X was VERY overated, and a pile of s*it.

*Stone Ill* · 04-12-2004, 06:35 PM

When will this Anime trend end!?

Even many of us anime fans are asking the same question.

And Urkle was great? Pfft! I'd rather sit through a million eps of Sonic X than that overrated 90's stuff.... sausage nosed Robotniks bouncing around the screen in 3 frams of animation.... bleh!

*Jephael* · 04-12-2004, 07:10 PM

Atleast the girl in that variation of Sonic wasn't all whiny and love-sick like Amy. She kinda gets on my nerves.

*Mars-Chan* · 04-12-2004, 09:28 PM

I don't know about ya'll but Knuckles is QUITE taken a shine to his girl Alex.

*Dane E5R* · 04-12-2004, 10:31 PM

Man, the japanese Sonic X is the best animated version of Sonic to date. 4Kids really screwed it up. The Sonime is a really close second, though. SatAM, while I enjoyed it while it was on, was so totally wrong, and I hate Sally's slutty ass. Of course, my opinion of her mostly comes from the comics. She lost all of my respect after that Geoffery St. John crap, coupled with her "thing" with Knuckles. Amy's ALL ABOUT the Hedgehog. However I gotta say my favorite Sonic love interest was Sera.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 04-12-2004, 11:29 PM

First of all, Sonic X hasn't ended in America, it's just ran through the first 26 episodes. They're gonna rerun all summer, and then pick up again early fall. The American DVD's start this May (for what they're worth), and there is a preview for episode 27 on them.

I hate to burst the bubble of Anime haters, but Sonic X has been renewed in Japan for another 26 episodes to begin airing sometime this fall. I really wish people would quit comparing all of the Sonic series. Each is special in it's own way (yeah, I know I sound like Seasme Street).

The American version of Sonic X does suck rotton Monkey b***s. They changed the script, ruined the music, hired the wrong voices, and screwed the whole thing up in general. They said that the X-Tornado was a rebuilt version of the Tornado 2. Wait till they get to episode 52 when Tails is seen fluing the Tornado 2 in all it's glory and Chuck gives Tails a message thanking hm for giving him the X Tornado. Chuck also gave Tails a special present when he needed it most.

The American version of Sonic X sucks, but Sega needs the series, and so does Sonic. Sega is in DEEP DEEp $***, and they need Sonic's popularity to go up again. They need it to bring in new fans, and it's doing just that. Yeah they ripped off the power rings from SatAM, but I just see that as a way of tying the two shows together, and Sonic's world looked awfully familliar, which was a wonderfully welcome suprise.

Sonic X rocks, and I'm glad that it has been renewed for another season in Japan.

I bet if you anime nerds had never downloaded all of the original Japanese eps on your computer and watched them 30 times each, you'd like the English version.

Yeah, but then they couldn't bitch and rant about the dubbing.

Sonci SATAM did more to expand the Sonic franchise than the Germans did for the world in WWII, it gave birth to the Archie comics which still thrive today...and kept the franchise going even when Sonic was practically DEAD

And it still remains the greatest Sonic cartoon of all time, topped by absolutley NOTHING.

I agree with you on Sally...not only does she become HOTTER, she becomes....BITCHIER, she's broken Sonics' heart in the comics now around five times I beleive.

Look at where Sonic is right now, he does'nt NEED a half-assed s*it cartoon like Sonix X, the games are selling like hot-cakes, and all of them have better plotting and pacing than another crummy anime involving annoying kids with Sonic.

Bourgeois Buffoon · 04-13-2004, 08:37 AM

Zarius, thanks for saying what I wanted to say.

SatAM was actually serious, and that was what made it so good. It took chances and you never had the sense everything would be all right in the end. There's a reason so many fans got into Sonic thanks to it.

Regarding comics, I personally know the artist of #134 on a friendly level, and shall get a signed copy of it from him.

[end bragging before tomatoes are pelted at him]

But regarding the comics, they kinda lost their direction to me. We've all these Overlanders, humans, what-have-yous now...we have Robotnik becoming gawd-knows-what too. I haven't bought an issue since #120, and I consider that a decent thing.

Shadow the hedgehog · 04-13-2004, 09:57 AM

Why does everyone pick on this show?

Heres when it'll get better:

Season 2: Sonic Adventure Adaption
Season 3: Sonic Adventure 2 Adaption
Season 4: Sonic Heroes Adaption

If youve played the video games and liked them, then Sonic X is really the show for you...

*Drtooth* · 04-13-2004, 10:43 AM

I don't care too much for the dubbing, but I have to admit... I really like the Eggman they have. My favorite robotnik of all the others, and I am a Big Jim Cummings fan.

I would like Sonic Am if they did it WITHOUT Urkle... igh!

Yeah..I hate the "Eggman" character, I've always hated that name, why not go with "Robtonik?"

Oh wait..they killed him off YEARS ago in Issue 100.

Ahh well, I still consider the comics pretty good.
