TV Series Best Sonic Show?

What is the best Sonic show?

 

[petran79]

the first one, before things started getting convoluted

Kinda depends on a lot of factors, to be honest, even as a Sonic diehard, they're all kind of mediocre in their own way. Either the animation is cheap, the story is too formulaic, or the concept is so abstract that it doesn't even feel connected to Sonic anymore (in Underground's case, all three lol....). This is coming from someone who really enjoys AoStH and SATAM, but mostly for external reasons (the art style, lore, nostalgia, etc).

I guess the "best" one would be Sonic X, there's still a lot of anime/cartoon campiness in the show, but it does have its moments, and if you just want to see Sonic and the gang doing stuff with decent animation, then it can give you that, occasionally surprising you too.

Or you could watch Tamers12345, the REAL best Sonic show.

Sonic SatAM. It cared.

 

[Dr.Kisaragi]

For me I love AoSth and SatAM is hard just like if I chose between Super Show or Super Mario Bros 3 cartoon.

 

[Segadude113]

Sonic SatAM had emotion. It had a story. It had lore. It had a strong message. It had a point.

 

[Bonkers225]

The one with Urkel

 

[Ezri_Muldoon]

It's Boom.

Everything else was either poorly executed or never finished.
With the amazing feat being how each poorly executed series screwed up in a unique way.
AoSTH has nothing to do with the games, lots in common with the localisated marketing material.
Underground... Just look at it. It's a technical mess.
X would have been a great (if not dated) adaptation if it didn't include Chris. Fun fact. The original pitch was to be human free adaptation of the Dreamcast/Advance games. Test footage is publicly available.
Prime has so much potential. Then the budged restraints hit. But it had Big's in it.

I kneel

With SatAM unfinished.
Boom's self aware slice of life approach wins.

Does it being good makes it a bad adaptation of the Boom games

 

[Segadude113]

The one with Urkel

that's 3 of em. lol

 

[Bonkers225]

that's 3 of em. lol

[Segadude113]

[Turbo Kid]

I haven't really seen them all, but I watched the first episode of X and it seemed pretty cool.

What do you think of Sonic X?

[Miles Miles]

I love that short!

 

[Segadude113]

Also Prime is better than you guys give it credit for.

 

[DjQuick2008]

 

[MasterEn]

i'd say sonic for hire is the best sonic show.

 

[Miles Miles]

i'd say sonic for hire is the best sonic show.

The Sonic and Knuckles Show is another amazing fan made show!

 

[RETRO-VETRO RETRO-VETRO]

Probably Sonic X in my opinion.

All of them Minus Underground and Prime:

AOSTH: even before the memes, the show is far from a repressentativve of the saga, being more like a basic cartoon of bad guys losing to coolandwitty Mc Hero, but then again, most videogame cartoons commited said sin

Sonic SatAM: A high jump on quality and stakes, the pillar from which Sonic Archie came to be, dark without edgyness, plots that made me wonder if the heroes would actually LOSE this time, i will never forgive ABC for cancelling it, but at least it got a good enough ending

Underground:

Sonic X: My actual first Anime Ever, back when Non-cable TV broadcasted anime in a vchannel named Azteca 7

Boom: An actually funny cartoon that felt like a nice breather from the adventures of Team Sonic, and the memes, don't forget the memes

Prime: The only one i haven't watched, i've seen reviews that it is good, if improvement room is still big

Prime has one world in it like Robotropolis from SatAM, except it's run by 5 Robotniks in 5 different sectors. Amy has been Roboticized and is being powered by a Flicky inside her. It's Birdy from Sonic Adventure. Tails made mechanical tails for himself and refers to himself as "Nine" and lives in the subway by himself since there was no Sonic to rescue him in his timeline or whatever. Everyone is given a number and it's always an Easter egg to when they were created in the games. Big the Cat for example is 1998, the year Sonic Adventure released in Japan. There's robo guards sort of like Swatbots, spy droids, ect. There's also a rebellion called The Resistance similar to the Freedom Fighters, just with Knuckles and Rouge instead of Sally, Bunnie, Rotor and Antoine. A single palm tree survived Robotnik taking over Green Hill Zone and it persists in all the other worlds too. It's like a symbol of hope for the Resistance. Sonic shows up now n then to help them but large amounts of time pass between worlds. It's never the same as when he left it. If they had kept the series just in New Yoke City, it would have been so much better. They could have gotten around Penders with just using modern characters. Anyway the series goes on and Sonic meets other versions of his friends in other worlds. Meanwhile Nine starts exploring and finds an empty world where he wants to start over. He needs Sonic to do it. Sonic wants to put everything back to normal but that would mean destroying the different worlds and different versions of his friends. Nine of course doesn't want to die. So he ends up becoming a villain by the end and everyone from all the different worlds has to fight him and his robot clones of them. There's a version of Metal Sonic in it... kind of? It's a really annoying parody of Sonic though. Might be Nine's interpretation of him. He does help the Robotniks but also works with Sonic in secret until he gets caught. There's a really cool moment where Nine comes into contact with the other versions of Tails from the other worlds. They all just stare at each other like they know each other but have no memory at all. Then there is that part where the different Tails have to combine their intelligence and work together. That was pretty cool. Seriously, don't listen to the haters. They just want more Boom sitcoms.

I will say that if Sega just used characters from outside media too, they wouldn't have to keep using clones of everyone like they did with Forces and Prime. There is that. Does Sega have the guts? Will the newer fans accept it?
