YOU'RE RIGHT!

Thank fucking God. They got ridiculously big by the time of Heroes and 06.

I'd like to know their reasoning for it. They appear to be are very attainment in giving them cloth.

They almost look like they wanted to give the cast a dystopian nomad look. That would actually be a neat Sonic game, actually.

Sonic looks a little bit odd with biceps, too. I haven't noticed the arms until you mentioned it. I'm wondering if it was even an intentional design choice. Obviously it wasn't clear it was a Sonic game at that point. Clearly this game has already been in development for quite a while. If there is o...

As someone who has absolutely no investment in this franchise, this retooling doesn't phase me in the least. In fact, I think anything could be a potential improvement at this point. http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/12/127594/3044130-9237740878-tumbl.jpg Looking at this kind of reminds m...

All I remember of "Naked Tillis" is a naked Tillis drinking Drano on the front page years back.

I wonder how many other classic members still lurk. GG! are you still here? Word has it he found a wifu and forgot about Sonic. That might be a lie, though. Anyway, what's it like at the new and improved Archie Comic Publications, Inc. Sonic the Hedgehog faction? Or did they downsize that and you j...

Get one before the cease and desist order.

I'm confident some social justice website will decry black-face and start leaking artists addresses.

I actually like the American Sonic. My favorite being Greg's Sonic CD rendition. I can understand Sega of America's decision to westernize Sonic. Akira Watanabe's Sonic just wasn't a typical nineties cartoon character. At the time of Sonic's conception, Japanese animation was still heavily reflectiv...

Yup. Sonic game.

About fucking time.

I think Mighty was the result of the team just trying to make a character look in-universe, following Naoto Ohshima's early formula.

I actually like both Mighty and Ray's design. Some call them lazy but I think they fit right at home with early Sonic.

Sonic was such a cute character. Now he looks like an asshole.

it is, down to it's very core, the absolute worst kind of indefensible excruciating self-important brain-dead angst-ridden pseudo-mature nonsensical fanfic-written-by-a-12-year-old-who-claims-to-be-a-16-year-old anime-bullshit imaginable. I think Sonic Team emulated the Final Fantasy formula quite ...

Yes. Kill.

Or Nintendo has finally realized people will buy their IPs regardless and started cutting corners.

Wait, Secret Rings was bad now? I can't keep up with all these retcons. I'm referring to how absurd the concept of it is when you actually try and explain it. I mean, Sonic has an enchanted ring and it place in a pre-Islamic Arabic setting. It's like a Sonic/Aladdin/Lord of the Rings fan-fiction to...

Because we've had many past Sonic games sound this stupid on paper. The Secret Ring, Werehog and Bestiality 2006 come to mind.

This is lame enough to almost be real!

Such as?

2) Takashi Iizuka is involved with the project and he's responsible for ensuring consistency. This would be quite hard to do if the cartoon had its own unique designs. Also, after Generations, Iizuka talked about creating a new future Sonic (as a replacement for 'modern Sonic'). Now it's making sen...

Wow that's some bad artwork even for Archie standards.

The OVA is pretty decent once you've immediately thrown the English dub into the trash.

I do wish some of the animation was a little more hard-edged like the animated sequences found in CD.
