Sonic X Season Three Screenshots (spoilers)

This is a more detailed coverage of the new Somic X episodes , most of them having premiered on Jetix France

http://www.teamartail.com/sonicx/53/

http://www.teamartail.com/sonicx/56/

http://www.teamartail.com/sonicx/60/

...As you can see from this, Chris arrives on Mobius and becomes a child again upon arriving instantly (yeesh), let's just hope the series is'nt going backwards instead of forwards with this

Raltz is now a part of the series, so there moving forward with new characters again, there's a larger role as well for Rouge (finally a chance to see her try things solo, rather than be hampered by some dumb goverment job)

And of course episode 60 either begins the Sonic Heroes adaptation or wastes my time again much like the previous Shadow story arc did, Heroes featured a lot of Sonics' freinds fighting each other in seperate teams occasionly through the game, so hopefully some kind of shake up emerges from the Shadow episodes.

Yeah, Season Two was also slightly darker, the characters barly got a break emotionally (Shadow arc, Emerl, and then the depature from Earth), Chris' inclusion here is very needless, he was never a belevible character to even begin with, although transforming him into a child actually makes sense due to the temporal complications

I just started watching Sonic X recently, I've only seen two or three episodes. The only reason I saw it was because TMNT got moved back to 10:30. I turned on the TV and Sonic X was on at 10 instead of TMNT. The few episodes I saw seriously got me interested. I just ordered a subtitled first season boxset from Ebay.

That should mean it will include the first two seasons in American dubbed transmission order, it seems Japan count"Season Three as Season Two, so you'd be getting the 50 episodes I think...

The first twenty six are utterly generic, the series picks up later with the Chaos Saga...well, ok, I still think this series overall pales in comparision to superior products like the Archie comics or SATAM, but at least the darker episodes make sure the comedic crap is few and far between for quite some time.

Man Chris is one...selfish brat. I can't stand the kid. Especially after what he did last Saturday.

Enligten me on one thing. Dr. Gerald Robotnik (Julian Robotnik's grandfather) is the same thing as...Dr. Ivo Robotnik? I'm sort of confused on the Robotnik/Eggman thing. Why'd they change the name and change the character who roboticizes animals to a guy who builds robots and call himself Eggman??

Honestly, I am so happy to see this. I was thinking Sonic was dead with the Sega/Sammy thing. I'm importing the DVD's.

Ahh yes...not to spoil anything, but the episode after that is pretty...good

Following that is an "epilouge" episode that is ALMOST Chris-free, not completly though...and for Amy/Sonic fans of course...the ending's GOT to be seen...

Personally, I like these new episodes a LOT more than the previous 52. They're MUCH less childish than the old eps. And the best part is: besides Chris and Eggman, there are NO HUMANS.

It goes like this...

In Japan the character was called Eggman from the start. When the game was brought to America the character's name was changed to Dr. Ivo Robotnik. And so it stayed for a very long time, up until the first Sonic Adventure game.

Because the cutscenes were done in CGI and the lipsync read "Eggman" they couldn't call him "Robotnik" anymore. So they changed that to his nickname in the American release (the manual says something to the effect of "Dr. Robotnik: Sonic and pals call him Eggman...").

When Sonic Team did Sonic Adventure 2 they created the character of Gerald Robotnik to tie everything up.

Officially, his real name is Dr. Ivo Robotnik but he calls himself Dr. Eggman cuz he loves eggs.

And there ya go.

Oh, well, then it might just be the first half of season 1, since it is episode 1-26. What episode is airing on TV this week? Id assume it was 52 since they said season finale. In japan, most anime series have 26 episode seasons, just like TMNT.

The fact that the damn humans are gone makes me happy. They were so annoying in the first seasons. They stole all the attention from the furries.

When do the Japanese versions start airing?

Most original anime series last 26 episodes, there are few exceptions, (DBZ, Sailor Moon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Naruto) most animes based on toy and video game franchises tend to last longer

Like Viewtiful Joe which will have 52 episodes.

And TMB and Hannah: Tomorrow will mark the return of Super Sonic and Super Shadow.

That was Chaotix. The second real "team" in Sonic history barring Sonic and Tails to appear in the video games back on the utterly rubbish Sega 32-X.
