For those who follow JAPANESE Sonic X - Page 2

Sorry for the bumping and all, but I wanted to make sure you guys new I posted more. So on to my actual post:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warning: Extreme statements ahead. You may not agree. Tough rocks.

That was bar none the absolute best episode of ANY cartoon that I have EVER seen. And I couldn't even understand most of what was being said.

It is an EXTREMELY rare thing for a cartoon to make me cry. That I can remember, it's only happened twice in the past. Once during one of the later episodes of The New Adventures of Superman (I think that was what it was called, at any rate, the one from the 1990's), when one of the characters (I wish I could remember who, but it's been years) for all intents and purposes had died, and once, very briefly, during one of the more wrenching episodes of .Hack//SIGN.

'Birth of Super Sonic' had me crying at about the halfway point. By the end of the episode, I had to take off my glasses because I could no longer see through them. I have never in my life cried this much because of a cartoon. And I turn twenty years old next month -- that's a lot of cartoons.

This is an episode I will watch again and again and never grow tired of.

And as much as I hate to say it, and some may still not agree...

Sonic X's 'Birth of Super Sonic,' beats out SatAM's 'Doomsday Project.' I never thought I'd say that anything in the entire Sonic-related universe would beat that episode, in intensity and emotion, but this one does.

And I have GOT to get my hands that song!

That said, I have an intensely sick feeling when I think of how that episode will be translated for the FoxBox. This episode does not solely contain your typical 'slapstick' violence, but more realistic violence, with characters actually getting hurt. That in itself I could see as being tricky as far as U.S. censors go (let me take this time to reiterate how much I hate the U.S. censors, for they are hypocrites that rarely make any sense, if they ever do).

And since key details of the episode bleed over into the ending sequence, it is likely that a painful amount of detail will be lost when the episode it 'cut down to size' for U.S. TV.

Then there's the music. Without the original music, this episode would lose so much of its intensity. And it's almost certain that the music will be changed, because they've changed all the music thus far (we're now on episode 4 here in the states, I believe).

My point: Don't hold your breath too much for the season ender for the U.S. version. There is simply no way it can possible stand up to the Japanese episode. I'd suggest finding somewhere to download the Japanese version of this episode, or buy the Japanese DVD containing it when it comes out. It's most definitely worth it.

*poke* Oy, Solly's gonna kill you if she finds out you hotlinked to her server... Please take that down now, k?

But thanks, 'cause I hadn't looked yet and didn't think it would be out already.

EDIT: Thanks, man. We don't wanna upset the great Solly, giver of all wonderful Sonic stuff.

*Kameko* · 10-06-2003, 03:05 PM

Episode 27 is out, for anyone who's interested.

New intro featuring SuperSonic and SuperShadow! Whoo-hoo! I can't wait to watch the ep!

SORTA-SPOILER::

Tikal is supposed to be in the next ep.

SONIC NEEDS TO GIVE IT A REST, HE HAD HIS TIME AND NOW ITS OVER. Sonic is one of those items that when its there its there, but should never be brought back. he should have stayed on sega genises.

*Dane E5R* · 10-07-2003, 03:07 PM

That's absolute non-sense. Absolute 100% non-sense. Sonic has stood the test of time for a reason, whether you see it or not. Deal with it.

I see no need, nor reason to pop into a thread about Sonic, and then begin to flame the topic at hand. It's as if you're just looking to pick a fight.

Chill. Feel the love, man!

*Kameko* · 10-07-2003, 05:45 PM

EZWeasel, that post was COMPLETELY out of line.

In case you didn't notice, this thread is titled 'For Those Who Follow The Japanese Sonic X'. It is NOT 'What do you think of Sonic The Hedgehog?'.

Also, the same argument could easily be made about the Turtles by non-TMNT fans. Just because you don't like Sonic doesn't give you the right to some in here yelling (and yes, typing in all caps is yelling, in case you didn't know) about how much you hate him.

Incidentally, while the turtles (who became popular at roughly the same time as Sonic, within a few years) faded from the limelight for a while, Sonic has maintained a following and has 4 cartoon series, 1 animated movie and easily a dozen video games (on many different consoles) to his credit.

So whether you like him or not, Sonic is still just as (possibly more) popular now than the Turtles are currently.

Don't attack other people's interests. That is a move that can bring all sorts of crap raining down on you. Especially if it's one of my interests, because as you can see, I've dealt with this sort of baloney before. More times than I care to count.

EZWeasel, I was gonna blow up all over you, but Kameko said it better. You have no right to flame something that other people love. It looks like you are trying to start something by doing it. I am quite proud to have TMNT & Sonic together on the same network, as I am sure many people are. Don't rain on our parade. We love Sonic the Hedgehog and are proud of it.

Another way to put it would be...

S.O.N.I.C. GO!

*Kameko* · 10-18-2003, 12:41 PM

Exactly.

*That Matt Guy* · 10-18-2003, 12:59 PM

I used to cry at Sonic too, tears of joy from laughing so hard when he would get squashed or fly off the screen on the game.

...........okay...odd sence of humor you have there....
