How well do y'all think 4kids handled the Sonic X dub?

[Santana2011]

Honestly, coming from a Sonic the Hedgehog fan. I have to say the 4kids dub sadly isn't very good, the voice acting itself is very memorable i will admit, but the fact that the censorship and localization really hurt the quality of the dub, I mean they censored the deaths, tone down instances of violence. The suggestive stuff and alcohol i can understand why because Sonic franchise is supposed to aimed for all ages but the rest of the censorship i just do not agree, but the 2000s that era sure was kinda edgy for the Sonic. Overall, the dub is just butchered by 4kids, and its sadly a classic case of 4kids playing it safe with alot of anime shows that dubbed by censoring out content that isn't suitable for children. So anyways, how well did 4kids handled the Sonic X dub. I'm sorry to some who might like the 4kids dub of Sonic x, but i just have to give it a 4/10

I have a very similar stance. I loved the English voice cast, but the quality of the dub itself is terrible. In addition to the ridiculous censorship, the script is also pretty bad.

I'm nostalgic towards that dub as it was THE show that I'd wake up for every Saturday morning. But nowadays... Yeah, I'll stick with the original Japanese version.

It’s passable for me at least it wasn’t dubbed by Saban Entertainment, you can see how they butchered those animes they translated.

Actually, they worked on Sonic X before appearing in some of the games.

I think the actual voice actors they had were good, they just had really awful direction for the dub from what I can remember of it (Also; will take this time to say Kathleen Delaney was the best English dub voice Rouge ever had), but none of this really matters because they cut out Sonic saying shit

I found the 4Kids Dub to be very cringe with bad jokes, poor writing, annoying 4Kids background music and unnecessary cuts. The original Japanese Dub is better despite Chris being in it.

Horrible. One of 4Kids worst dubs ever. They cut so much out that they even fucking cut out some plot elements.

I forgot about that scene in EP 2. It caught me off guard the first time I heard about it.
