For an anime named “Sonic X”, you would assume that it would be about Sonic the Hedgehog. You have assumed poorly. Not in the sense that “Sonic X” could also be say, the name of a D-grade sci-fi OVA from 1987, but rather than it takes every opportunity possible to sideline Sonic and make the story about well, anyone else. Then again, it’s also not like Sonic himself is really that interesting in this show. I mean seriously, how hard do you have to screw up to take the fun out of a snarky speedster hedgehog?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SONIC DON'T GO EVEN THOUGH THIS SHOW ISN'T EVEN ABOUT YOU ANYWAY NOOOOOOOOOOO!
It’s mildly annoying when it’s about the other furries, and I should note that “the other furries” usually doesn’t even mean Tails (also, why does Tails have a VF-1 Valkyrie?) or Knuckles, but rather like some slutty bat furry. It’s the worst when it’s about people. I have no idea why this show has people in it and why Sonic and pals are running around Earth. Anyway, Sonic becomes best bros with a boy named Chris. Chris, however is incredibly annoying and whiney and angsty because his parents are never around, leaving him to be raised by his magical negro maid (OH LAWDY LAWDY MASSA CHRIS!) NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, SONIC WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GO NOOOOOOOOOOO YOU ARE MY ONLY FRIEND WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! This show had some of the most ridiculous BL subtext that I can ever recall seeing in a kid’s cartoon. Those two needed to get a room and work through all of their pent-up emotions. Even in that weird flashforward thing where he totally has the opportunity to get it on with the (now grown-up and hot!) handicapped girl, all he can think about is his lost love, Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic, however does not reciprocate. And has other plans:
Sonic totes hit that shit. Hard. Sorry, Chris.
Would I watch it even if I weren’t forced? It’s a bad kid’s toy cartoon
First episode was cool shit, though. Thats where they should have stopped.
No… … …. just… no…
JP, why would you do this?
I do this because I have no choice in the matter.
(NOOOOOOOOOOO WHY DON’T YOU UNDER MY PAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN!)
Damnit now I’m wondering where sonic’s penis is.
Laughed.
She’s gripping it real hard! Also, “BAWWWWWW”. Also, um… no.
I like the show.
JP, man, you need to remember your safe word next time.
Nothing was funnier in those old ADV techno-grind DVD ads on their VHS releases (circa, what, 1999 or so?) than the footage of all this hip slick shit in spastic thin-sliced beats to the rhythm, then, for like a second and a half, Sonic the Hedgehog running around. Then back to the stuff the target audience might actually care about.
You make me almost wish that I didn’t throw out our old ADV All-Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku VHS tapes so I watch that again.
Sonic,you, sir, are a cad, a cheat and a bounder.
If it ain’t amy, its human chicks or you’re having children with squirrels(wiki princess sally if you don’t believe me, its the time jumping sonic series)
as for the humans blame that crappy sonic adventure game. Why couldn’t they keep it the same as the sega genesis version.
Season 1 wasn’tr that good, but I really did like season two, and I wouldn’t mind it if Japan produced a season 3.
