Hey Twimfy....

[generalnmx]

You're a big Sonic fan, right?

I just got my hands on a fansubbed version of Sonic X. Have you seen the anime version yet? I've never actually seen anime of Sonic before, only the NA (*&^ (except for Sonic: Freedom Fighters, that was nice...got all the episodes in RA files).

BTW, your avatar is from Sonic CD, right? The evil Metal Sonic? That's my favorite out of all the Sonic games.

 

[nerd of nerds]

wow

I have seen 3 episodes of Sonic X and other than the great animation, it is in my opinion, a horrible anime series ..unless you're into kiddy anime stuff I guess. Personally I liked the Sonic OVA the most out of all the sonic series. If you haven't seen that and are a big Sonic fan, I suggest you see it. And BTW Sonic X is licensed now, so it will be showing in North America (look here)

I havent seen Sonic anime X yet but I'm looking foward to seeing it even though it looks a bit pokemon in style (y'know with the human kids in it.) I own the anime film on VHS and DVD and thats a bit odd as it doesn't match any Sonic ideas at all really despite being co-produced by SonicTeam.

As for my avatar, its actually the Metal Sonic (Metallix) Mark 2 which features in Sonic & Knuckles and Issue 50 of Sonic the Comic. The Metallix in Sonic CD has more of a classic look and looks more like Sonic.

I have to agree I think Sonic CD is the best Sonic Game, I have the original Mega CD version and the PC version, the latter of which doesn't work on XP there's so many ideas featured in it which don't get explored in the later games.

Anyway I'll have the Sonic the comic stories available for download soon, as I've just aquired a scanner for my Net PC...I'll stick them up for download.

Actually I finished watching the first four episodes (and yes, I know they're getting liscenced...that's why I can only find four episodes), and I think its more directly based off Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast then Sonic X the comic. But, wasn't the Dreamcast version an adapation of Sonic X the comic, or was it visa-versa?

As for Metal Sonic...your avatar is pretty pixelated on my screen, so it was hard to tell ^^;

 

[Twimfy]

I didn't know there was a Sonic X comic, but I would imagine the anime is based on Sonic adventure 2 hence the appearance of Shadow and rouge.

 

[generalnmx]

I meant the Fleetway comic, "Sonic The Comic". It seems to have been the storyboard from which Sega got Sonic Adventure, since it was first published in 1993...

Although, you being the Sonic master, you probably already knew that. Sorry!

Well that dosent really look like the anime sonic going from the previews iv seen on the manga tapes he looks alot better. Maybe thats just the cartoon version not the anime version?

That's the anime version. The weird thing about that OVA is that it doesn't really follow any of the Sonic stories (I mean, the Princess is a REAL girl in it!). Although, Metal Sonic never looked cooler...

Yeah I'm talking about the same one.

As far as I know these are all of the following Sonic animations;

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog - Cartoon Featuring Sonic, Tails, Grounder (burrowbot) Scratch (chicken) Coconuts (monkey) and Robotnik.

Sonic the hedgehog - ABC American Comic based show featuring the likes of Sally acorn and Antione.....the second worst in my opinion.

Sonic the Movie - Originally released in 1994 in two seperate parts. Put together for an english release in 1999. Characters and plot not based on any Sonic comic or game, but features the appearance of Metallix the metal sonic from Sonic CD and Knuckles Chaotix.

Sonic Underground - Crap TV series featuring, Sonic, his brother and his sister all searching for their long lost mother....while they are not doing that the dorn leather outfits and play crap music on their guitars of power or something......The worst absolute trash I have ever seen.

Sonic Anime X - New in Japan soon to be released in US. Based around the story line of Sonic adventure 1/2.

Thats all of them I think.

As for Sonic Adventure being based around Sonic the Comic, well I'm not sure, I don't think so, but I only have the first 150 issues of Sonic the Comic. I don't think they would have brought up a story like that, Sonic Adventure (like every Sonic game since) is pretty detached from any of the previous Sonic universes.
The American Archie comic covered Sonic Adventure but that was after it was released.

Basically in my eyes Sonic died a horrible death the day Sonic adventure was ever released, It is such a bad game and they have never released a good Sonic game since, they have completely lost the whole feel and dynamic, their new character designs don't help either.

I just recently downloaded the 1st episode of Sonic Anime X and I have to say it's brilliant, it's the best thing I've seen Sega do since 1996.....looks great on the GP32 too!
