Favorite alternative Sonic media form.
Favorite alternative Sonic media form.
Sonic started off as a video game, and has had many spin-offs such as comic books, multiple TV shows, a movie, novels, and others.
What I ask you is, what do you think was the best, and most well done.
I'd have to go with the Sonic the Hedgehog movie. I believe it was the first of the spin-offs (I could be wrong) and I felt that it was a rather well done anime. Much better than Sonic X. The characters where mostly from the games, with the exception of three (One being very minor), and felt as if I was watching the games be told out in a story, not something cliche and totally different like a lot of the others did.

I liked Sonic X mainly for the fact that it's the cartoon that packed in the most references to the actual games, even going so far as to do adaptations of both Sonic Adventure games.
I'd have liked it more if the localization hadn't sucked more than a Dyson.
Therefore, my favorite alternate Sonic media will have to be the Sonic OVA movie.

I think my current favorite is probably Sonic and the Search for Love. Sega should really let this guy write the plots to the games.
Or maybe this Segaholic slash fic oh god please dont kill me holic

Hmmm.
Games, first and foremost. I had a huge thing for SatAM back when I was a youngling. (mainly for the completely awesome intro sequence, I sometimes would lose interest after a few minutes after that, since the actual show was never as cool) AoSTH was the most enjoyable, but I loathed the animation quality, and Robotnik's design. And I would constantly get angry at the vomit-colored sky. I remember being real frustrated and going "Is it SO HARD to just color the sky BLUE?"
I liked the Archie comic for a brief while, but then it got all dramatic once it got to issue 36, and focused on Sally, King Acorn, and the SatAM exclusive characters, with Sonic seeming really out of place.
The OVA was nice, for the music, the little references to the Genesis games (Green Hill-like flowers, Tornado 1) but was ultimately boring, and Sonic himself looked kinda goofy, with his spikes being so short. I liked the Owl though, and there was a few funny moments.. sigh, I wish I hadn't sold my DVD of it. =(
I really wanted to like Sonic X. The dub did about one thing right. The intro. That was it. Everything else was just a mess. I tried to ignore the voices and just enjoy the show. But when characters like Cream or Ella come onscreen, My hand goes right for the mute button. Also, the show is FULL OF PUNS. And the annoying announcer drives me nuts in his quick episode re-caps.
Notice how every word starts with the same letter. Even characters in the show do it from time-to-time!
I've liked a lot of Sonic media forms, but I guess the only Sonic media form that i've ever liked with absolutely no beefs whatsoever has been the games. No focus on humans, no furries, gorgeous enviroments abound, great music, good voices, and they're fun to play.
I guess AoSTH takes 2nd place to the games for me.

The original, un-dubbed show isn't much better though. The Tornado is now Tornado-X, humans are the focus of every story and the animation quality GREATLY declines as the series progresses.Dr Eggman wrote: Why does that HEINOUS HEDGEHOG ruin everything?

Okay, let's get the important stuff out of the way first: me being disturbed for reading that damned link Plorpus III posted...then Delphine comes in with the Yaoi. *shivers* I don't think my soul will be clean again...EVER!!
Now for the topic at hand...I'd say...well, hell. I pretty much withdrawn myself so far from any of the alt. media forms that I decided to make my own alt. media out of the franchise. But since it's all just to entertain my bored, wandering mind, it doesn't count here.
Bah, let's just say Sonic X (the comic) is my current pic and let it be over with.

Oh, this reminded me, has anyone seen those mangas at the Museum? The second one looks, like, really crappy, but maybe the first is any good?
Also, I forgot about that music vid of m-flo, pretty cool and weird stuff.
EDIT: Forget it, here is The Winner.
