New trailer:

*Wildcat* · 10-16-2014, 12:21 AM

The CGI for this is the best Ive ever seen for an animated TV show.

Really makes me happy cause Sonic is my No. 1 favorite character/franchise.

*ZariusTwo* · 10-16-2014, 06:23 AM

I laughed a lot at that. Real fun

*Netkeeper* · 10-16-2014, 02:19 PM

Okay, I'm convinced. I'm gonna love this.

DarkLightDragon · 10-16-2014, 03:02 PM

Definitely looking forward to this. The CGI looks grand and the humor has more hits than misses for the most part. Sonic definitely seems to be set up as the straight-man to everyone else's shenanigans which is a plus for me. Him going all, "Nonono" towards Eggman and his body-language/expressions during both the 'let's talk about our feelings' with Amy and 'serious short-term memory loss' with Tails is just delightful to see.

While I personally don't mind how they're portraying Knuckles and Sticks, I can see how they can be (or get) a little grating to some. Knuckles being the stereotypical dumb muscle that he has been for some time now (it's just more flanderized in Boom) and especially Sticks being the random, over-paranoid nut-job of the group. But again, I can easily forgive that given those kinds of personalities usually fit well into a comedy-driven show like this. And them having some good moments that won't over-rely on their typical personality traits would be great too.

Since it hasn't been brought up already, the show is set to air in the US and France on November 8th. Hasn't been said on the exact time yet, but I'm guessing it'll most likely be in the morning.

So did anyone watch the first episode? I enjoyed it! It's not obnoxious humor like Teen Titans Go!, it's clever writing and it really looks like it will be a show catered to even the older Sonic fans. I love it already.

*MrTMNT2012* · 11-08-2014, 12:16 PM

It's a show for kids and I'm not into it. I'll take Sonic Sat AM over this anyday!

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 11-08-2014, 12:48 PM

I found Satam boring in all honesty.

I thought Satam was good when I was 8 (I only saw season one and part two of "Blast to the Past" at the time, though). However, I watched it a few years ago and it hadn't aged well. The acting is bad and it's boring most of the time. Some episodes from season one are okay to watch, but season two is terrible. It tries to be too serious and falls flat as a result. If it hadn't taken itself so seriously, it would be easier to ignore the plot holes. I kinda liked the characters in season 1, though, but they (except Bunnie and Rotor) became annoying in 2.

Sonic Boom hasn't started airing in Ireland yet, but it sounds like a great show.

*MrTMNT2012* · 11-08-2014, 02:08 PM

The writing on Sonic Boom is so unbelievably by-the-numbers generic kids show, it's unbelievable! It's not toilet humour, so I guess it's got that going for it but it's so obvious the show is catering to 3-12 year olds and nothing else.

This just makes me respect TMNT 2012 even more!

Basically how I feel. The animation looks great, and I like the voice actors, but the humor was so generic, it was predictable. And yeah, it's definitely a kids show. I hope kids like it as much as I liked the old cartoon, but I won't be following this.

Really does highlight how well Nick's TMNT caters to all ages. This week's episode didn't heavily reference a 10-year-old movie for the kids' sake.

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 11-08-2014, 02:39 PM

TMNT 2012 is designed and meant for kids but does a great job catering towards the older fans. Sonic Boom is like a Pixar/Dreamworks cartoon where it's designed for kids but the humor is something adults will understand. I feel it doesn't try too hard to be strictly aimed at kids and the writing is a lot more self-aware. It isn't AoStH where it's so bad, it's good. It's legitimately funny!

Kudos to Mike Pollock in this series. Compare his voice acting in this show to his days with Sonic X; there's a huge difference. Heck, I think it's already better than Sonic X.

*TurtleTitan97* · 11-08-2014, 03:16 PM

Saw it, totally liked it. So much better than Sonic X, imo. Will definitely keep watching.

*Wildcat* · 11-09-2014, 01:18 AM

I've been so upset all week because I have Dish Network and they're currently in a dispute with Turner and they removed Cartoon Network as well as some other channels. Been like this since mid October.

I'm sure it'll get resolved but dang of all the times for this to happen. Was watching Omniverse too but I've missed like 3 weeks of that now.

I can handle that but Sonic...of all the things to have to miss.

*Netkeeper* · 11-09-2014, 02:06 AM

Just watch it on youtube, it's what I did.

I enjoyed it -- this show has potential to really go either way, but this first episode was fun. I absolutely love Knuckles.

DarkLightDragon · 11-09-2014, 05:52 AM

Watched both episodes yesterday and this morning. A promising start if I do say so myself.

While the first episode wasn't as funny as the second, I gotta give major kudos for how it handled Sonic and Tail's relationship and that Sonic's reasons for firing Tails has his sidekick weren't dickishly intentional (and have him even admit it wasn't well thought-out on his part). And also liked Tails not being offended or outraged by Sonic's decision and just went with a disguise to earn his place back.

Second one was awesome if only for Mike Pollock's performance as Eggman as he continued to be a (purposefully) horrible houseguest.

Sticks and Amy were pretty good too. Sticks didn't seem as annoying as I thought she'd be. The fact that her being the one who knew Eggman was up to something shows she's at least smarter that how she acts. Amy was an adorable dork in both trying out to be a sidekick and going all therapist on Eggman.

"Do you feel scared without a home? Do you feel alone? Are you eating your feelings?"

"Somebody get her away from me."

The only character I feel who didn't get to really stand out so much in both was Knuckles, though it should please some people he wasn't all gags and being a dimwit like they feared he'd be.

Anyway, I enjoyed both episode fully and look forward to more!

*Netkeeper* · 11-09-2014, 06:57 AM

Knuckles just hasn't had any spotlight yet. When he gets his turn, he's sure to win people over, I can tell -- he's just enough of a smartass.

I also really loved Mike Pollock's Eggman. He does such a good job of portraying this character, and it really sounds like he has a lot of fun doing it, too. Good god, I think he's been voicing that guy for over a decade now.

*Donatello19* · 11-09-2014, 10:27 AM

I saw the first two episodes. Nothing special, could've been worse I guess...I have to agree with the people saying that this is definitely a kid's show.

*Wesley* · 11-09-2014, 11:58 AM

I just watched the first episode on YouTube and I thought it was good. The show has a good mix of comedy and action. I like that it doesn't take itself too seriously. It be a bit too fast-based at times, but I think it's already better than the older Sonic shows. I like all the characters.

*BabyTurtles* · 11-09-2014, 12:41 PM

I saw it....It wasn't amazing...but it wasn't bad either.

It's the first 2 episodes though so I think it will pick up.

The animation wasn't that great to me.....probably cause I'm spoiled by TMNT XD.....it seemed a little stiff...
