Will There Be New Sonic X's Coming Soon?

[U2WaTCHer]

I know Sonic X is prob a filler and prob same with Kirby it sure seems to be a 4Kids fav on the side since it began when fox box started years ago with TMNT. Will there be new Sonic X's or even Kirbys or are they over? BTW they do still have TMNT, Kirby, and Sonic X on comcast ondemand Kids section.

Sonic X is long finished. It's a miracle the show even got to do the Meterex season at all.

Other than TMNT, 4kids dosen't do much out side of pokemon/yu-gi-oh clones (and they even tried to make TMNT a card battle show).

4Kids did have Toei animation commission 26 more episodes of Ultimate Muscle. Originally, the anime ended with the (totally irrelevant) Poison Six Pack saga that wasn't even in the original manga (it was in the V-Jump manga, however). The 4kids commissioned ones got through the Chojin olympic arc, all while changing the ending to be happy, and more of a closing. Originally Kevin Mask won, not Kinnikumantaro. The Japanese ratings sucked on both the original episodes, and especially the chojin Olympics arc when they got them after us.

But I digress. 4Kids did have a few anime companies make new episodes... Is the Meterex saga part of it? But more Sonic X and especially Kirby is out of the question.

They did dub Kirby episodes they didn't show in the past, but they're all out of everything.

Think of it as a throwback to the early days of Saturday morning cartoons when reruns of certain shows were on for years.

Speed Buggy, for example, had only one season of original episodes, but it ran for about 5 years.

so was there a ending to Sonic X after the space stuff? My sister loved it all until they did that space stuff and then it got real dumb. It reminds me of doing fast foreward but never coming back lol

Everything before the Meterex season was dumb dude...

In regards to a tv series there's nothing BUT there's a Sonic X comic done by Archie (as well as the original Archie series that was started at around the same time as TMNT Adventures, which really isn't fair really but ah well.) that continues on where the tv series left off.

The thing with the SonicX comic is that SONICX is an acronym for a group of humans who hate Sonic as much as I do (Im sorry but I just can't stand him).

Society for Observing and Neutralizing Inter-dimensional Creatures and Xenomorphs.

More or less. It seems more like a midqual to the series. Or an alternate retelling of events that left Sonic and Co back in the human dimension. I wish I picked up more issues. Dialogue aside, I think some of the stories they had were better than the actual TV series.

BTW, were the Sonic X episodes grouped into DVD sets? I recall they were, but I just need some reminder they are. I haven't seen them other than the "space stuff" sagas.

Yes, they went back to the beginning (like TMNT). But so far all that are out for the 2-Disc DVDs are -- Season 5, So Long Sonic (those being the Metarex Saga), and The New World Saga (the beginning).

What?! Don't like Sonic... oh well, the shows have been good (as well as the Archie comic).

Hopefully it's rotting in the bowels of hell where it belongs. Fu*king awful show that ruined Sonic's image forever.

I just don't like Sonic himself. Tails and Knuckles I love to pieces. Dr. Robotnic/Eggman totally rox as well.

And Sonic Underground was absolute art. Yeah...

Honestly, I don't think it as good as SatAm by a long shot, but I'll take it anyday over the other two shows. Robotnik and the Dumbbots were the onlything interresting about the Adventures series.

That said, I'd like to point out that it was a pretty high rated show. No wonder they keep coming back for reruns.

Funny...weren't you all over this show during its japanese run?

Because years of crappy games didn't do that already.

[U2WaTCHer]

so as far as 4Kids TV show goes wise was there a ending to wrap up the show so it had a ending?

Ah, but isn't that what Archie comics is all about Doc?

Why are you implying that I actually liked the mess that was Sonic Underground? That was probably worse.

Sonic X could have been an awesome show, and it did have it's moments, but overall it turned out to be just another stereotypical Japanese anime with a low budget, crappy animation, a generic kid who steals the spotlight from the characters we wanted to actually see, and about five good episodes out of 52.

Nothing was as bad as that F-Zero cartoon though. At least Sonic X kept the stars in character (for the most part).

Exactly. Of course, I have qualms about the artwork in some of the earlier issues. Too bad the Spaz guy just does covers.

I always liked what Archie did with their licenses. They even tried to get the dumbbots from AOSTH into the SatAm universe.

Personally, I had problems with the kid too. I liked how the dub had a guy doing the voice of the female maid, but I had so many problems with the humans in the series having the focus. I still think it's the second best series. Distant second, though. But Underground was a good concept burried under a bunch of terrible ones. The Theme song rocked, though.

The F-Zero cartoon was a stereotype of every futuristic anime I've seen. They stole stuff from Robotech.... and the fact that it was like watching a bad Speed Racer episode really didn't help its case.

I did however love Kirby. Somehow they made it more than it could have been. Though they did borrow quite heavily from 1980's gag manga like Dr. Slump. The episode about the Dentist monster thing seemed like it came straight out of Dr. Slump.

Sonic X was a show that had a lot of good ideas but ultimately suffered from, well...being Japanese.

The needlessly decompressed storytelling made it feel like nothing was ever happening (even though it was, but at a pace so slow you couldn't tell). And like with the Japanese perception of Transformers, they decided to put the whole focus of the series on far too many human characters. Sonic felt like a guest star in his own TV show.

I think the only time the show ever impressed me was the Sonic Adventures 2 adaptation, which managed to maintain all the darker aspects of the game (in the Japanese version, anyhow; I've yet to see 4Kids' version). But even that was just an adaptation of an already existing story and not anything original on the part of TMS.

I've only read two issues of the Archive Sonic X cartoon (the 15th anniversary special where the characters get sucked into a game of Sonic 1 on the Sega Genesis), and while the writing is sharper than the TV series, it actually feels less focused than its Japanese counterpart.


As far as Sonic continuities go, make mine the mainline Archie series. It basically features everything that made SatAM enjoyable and does it better.

[Drtooth]

Let's just agree the WORST Sonic Cartoon was that Christmas special. What the hell was up with that one anyway? it's like they wrote the script in a 2 hour lunch period or something. Running around an obstical course for no apparent reason? That's not right!
