That didn't last long at all.
I always tried to defend Sonic X. Despite the horrible cesspool of suck that is Chris, the series was always the closest to the games compared to Sonic's other animated incarnations. The situations, characters, and storylines would have always been pretty damn true to Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 if they had downplayed the human characters and just showed Sonic and Co as always being part of the world as part of some slighly less creepy furry race.
But I don't know what the fuck happened. Today I watched the first episode I had in a while. It featured Chris, of all people, making Sonic rip-offs of Shadow's hover shoes so that he could fight alien sharks that looked like they got lost on the way to Transformers: The Movie. Oh, and Sonic put on the shoes by having his feet shot at.
What the fuck happend? Did the DIC writing staff somehow take over somewhere along the way?

It could be good, but it was dubbed by 4kids and 4Kids is pure evil...plain and simple...
The best sonic animated Series in my opinion is the one where Eggman has already taken over the world. (the name of the show is Sonic The Hedgehog if anyone realy cares...but obviously that title's not realy unique)

It still airs on Fo--er, 4KidsTV. If Sonic X would ever air on another station, then most likely it would air on Cartoon Network than any of the Disney channels--at least in the U.S.Ritz wrote:So, are the new eps still on Fox, or are they sticking with Toon Disney?
Also the best animated incarnation of Sonic in my opinion is the Sonic CD intro and outro which is concentrated "Sonic-ness" followed by the Sonic OAV and then Sonic X.
And the third season is odd. It's darker than the first 52 episodes and many people consider it better than the first 52 episodes. Also, I think a whole lot of people like Cosmo more than Chris--though Chris isn't really a pain and he's more useful this season.
I usually avoid any show(even shows I liked before they were dubbed) that is attached to 4Kids on the account that I'm nearly sick of Taj Productions voices.

From what I've heard, Toon Disney's been running some Sonic X reruns already, in it's Jetix lineup.Ngangbius wrote:It still airs on Fo--er, 4KidsTV.

Sonic X seems to be the only anime I seem to watch nowadays, but from the episodes I've seen of the "third" season, I think it's pretty decent. I can't make a full judgement since it's like only three episodes into the new season, but it does fix a problem the first 52 episodes didn't fix: Chris isn't as friggin' annoying as he's suppose to be.
And surprisingly, for such corny actors, 4kids actually gave Cosmo a decent voice actress. Last time I was convinced of above average voice acting was Tikal.

Odd, I haven't seen it listed and advertised on the U.S. version of Jetix. It's true that the show aired on the Jetix block but in the U.K. and other European countries.Ritz wrote:From what I've heard, Toon Disney's been running some Sonic X reruns already, in it's Jetix lineup.Ngangbius wrote:It still airs on Fo--er, 4KidsTV.

I downloaded the whole third season in French (it's weird that they got it first), and it was surprisingly good. Say what you like about the French - they provide much better voice actors than their American counterparts.
I'd say it's better once they gave up their failed effort to leetch off the games.

Sonic walking over water in the third “French made/financedâ€￾ season, if you still like the third season after that, just tell me why. I only want the 3 chaotic episodes, just to see if they also screwed the Chaotic.

Still pretty weird. I would've expected Japan to have top priority, but I've later been told that the show didn't do as well in Japan as elsewhere. Which is surprising. I'd have thought Sonic would be huge Over There.firemario1001 wrote:I'm pretty sure Taiwan got them first.Owen Axel wrote:I downloaded the whole third season in French (it's weird that they got it first), and it was surprisingly good.

EDIT: After Sonic Heroes, I doubt it's possible to screw up the Chaotix. In the show as in the game, they're mainly comic-relief. I dunno. I thought I'd dislike the crew in the show, but they're oddly endearing.
Re: That didn't last long at all.
Sonic X always seemed sorta "blah" to me, but maybe it's because it only loosely followed the games. either that or it was adding more humans to the mix (don't know why, but every video game i ever really liked had little to do with humans; animals were always the main characters. sonic, starfox, godzilla:destroy all monsters melee, etc.).Zeta wrote:I always tried to defend Sonic X.

though i do agree that Chris is the worst human added. he truely is the cesspool of suck, as you put it. if you ask why, i'd say the voice 4kids gave him. if you want more details, then i'd say because he came off as such a little wimp-ass, spoiled pussy. i remember in one of the episodes, there was a fighting tournement that everybody seemed to be in, including Chris. i didn't get to see the part where he fought, but i did see the part where he was talking to sonic about it, saying how bad he felt. he had tricked the opponent or something, because he wanted to see what it felt like to be evil or some bullshit. give me a freaking break. that kid is the definition of lame.
and that he seems to be awfully attached to sonic (remember the episode where they all get sent back to their world? just watch that one for like five minutes). forgive me, but the only groupie i'd ever want sonic to have would be amy.

By the way, I kinda liked the "human-only" parts in the SA2 adaptation (I actually tought it was the best part of the adaptation). In fact, if Sonic X ever did something for the Sonic series, it was giving a reasonable fixing of plotholes (I know there's a lot of those, but the only one I remember now is when it showed how Rouge stealed the Master Emerald and got that blue chaos emerald in the first place).
