Sega's Director Of Animation Thinks The World Is Ready For Another Sonic TV Show

As long as it has humor the sonic boom show had, I'm game.

If a new Sonic tv cartoon were to be made, I wonder whether they'd go with the same animation style as the recent YouTube shorts, or if they might try something entirely different?

It would have to be an action anime that adapts the games Sonic X didn't get to, specifically Heroes/Riders/Shadow/'06.

It'd be so cool to revisit those stories from a non-game perspective. I can't stand the dumb jokes the last games have gone for.

Could you imagine? A Hesse-driven cartoon show that pulls the best of OVA, AoSTH, SatAM, Underground, X, and Boom's humor while doing its own thing? That'd be way past cool!
Interesting thing about these newer animations — it's not hard to imagine voices behind them at all, and it'd work well.

@AlienX
Yeah, and hopefully they would actually make use of the characters that appeared in those games. Riders for Jet, Wave, and Storm. Shadow for Shadow and Rouge, maybe elaborate on what the heck GUN does exactly. And for 06 we could finally see Silver and Blaze in the spotlight, and maybe see their future. I would also enjoy Espio, Charmy, and Vector in the mix. The games don't seem to be attempting to utilize this massive cast of untapped potential, so if a show did, I would be happy.

Anything would be better then Adventures of Sonic.
Awfull series in every regard.

Ideally, it would be an action-comedy with the artstyle of the recent shorts and the writers of Sonic Boom.

Although, the Sonic movie is made by Paramount, which is owned by Viacom, which also owns Nickelodeon. Just saying I wouldn’t be surprised if an animated series based on the movie was announced. I would honestly be okay with that, as long as it didn’t look low budget.

@Kalmaro Sonic Boom is one of the most underrated shows, there was so much slapstick humor, it was amazing.

I'd love to see another Sonic the Hedgehog animation, it would also be great if Sega strikes a deal with either Netflix or Hulu, cos that's where most of the older Sonic cartoons are especially my favorite one Sonic X.

I want the old style back... at the end... I want to see Tails and writes.. Sonic says and then giving us tips/hints lol

Sonic X - "Chris" + Tyson Hesse = A perfect Sonic animated series.

@Kalmaro honestly, this is kinda like megas xlr. one of the reasons why megas xlr ended when it(at 26 episodes) was because the writers where starting to run dry on jokes. sonic boom lasted 104 episodes and had it would of run into the same thing

@Shadowmoon522 There's always more jokes though! Some shows even stay around after they stop being funny. Like SpongeBob...

@KitsuneNight For a Sonic style Looney Tunes with a low budget it was pretty decent for a kids cartoon, had more to do with the actual Classic Sonic games just Sonic and Tails saving Mobius from where wacky creation Robotnik makes
sure it wasn't perfect but at least Sonic was fast in Aosth in Boom he moves as fast as 06 Sonic and Robotnik was a actual threat, while in Boom alot of the action scenes just off as play fighting, as in it's not like Eggman really wants to harm/kill them, just childishly mock or annoy them, even like that time where Eggman waited for Sonic to show up when he was about to blow something, since Sonic was stuck doing something else Eggman just calls the thing off... what kind of villain is that? I know it's meant to be funny, but it makes any of the battle scenes pointless, no sense of danger
which Aosth manages to do alot better

I think it's time too. I still watch the old Sonic animated movie and love the crap out of it.

@KitsuneNight It's ok. We can't all appreciate fine art.

@ToonStuff well, with how recent things on Nick have been getting the boot(Rise!TMNT now going to its sister station Nicktoons, not picking up any of the potential shorts from its shorts program) it'd be given just two seasons like boom did and gone forever. But then you have the Netflix deal they made and CBS merger with Viacom, so potentially it could go there and gain a greater following, that is to say if they even want to work with Nickelodeon or actually make a new Sonic series at all.

I know that Sonic is a big moneymaker for Sega, but I personally would love to see something else from them for once. Sonic has already five animated shows, maybe even six if we count the Youtube shorts. Why not make a Streets of Rage cartoon in the art style of Streets of Rage 4? Or a Nights cartoon or a Panzer Dragoon anime?

Also, the Sonic cartoons weren't that good anyway. Most of them were either Meh or almost unwatchable in the case of Sonic Underground.

If it’s anything like the Sonic Mania shorts then I’m in.

Am I the only one that wants a return to either Sonic SatAM or Sonic Underground?

@AlienX Why not Unleashed?

@RareFan i liked AoSTH, silly and not all that serious yes.. Good if you like that kind of thing though, the voice actor for Robotnik was great IMO.

@HammerKirby Nothing against it, just that by that point the stories were more exclusively about just Sonic and the 'one-off' character. I believe anything can work, just that I'd be more interested in seeing characters like Jet and Blaze in the spotlight.

Always up for more sonic on tv...

Sonic X was the best one to me, it was flawed but it represented the games the best, Sonic Boom is based on the 'Boom' spin off and I obviously don't like that game even though many say the cartoon is good.

Chris is kinda what made it a bit flawed, together with Sonic coming from a different dimension instead of just coming from Earth (which is something I already dislike from the live action movie even with the design change). But its still a good kids Anime.

However if you watch the American version like most have, then you unfortunately just didn't watch it how it supposed to be. And besides the unneeded censoring and some change in dialogue, the whole ambience of the show is totally different in the Japanese version. I downloaded the episodes back in 2003 from a Sonic fansite, i first watched the Japanese episodes and noticed the difference immediately when downloading the American versions.

The BGM of the American version is so different and it's constant through a whole episode without any silent moments. It's also very loud and uses some kind of a synth trompet or something constantly. This really ruïnes the suspense of certain scenes.

I highly encourage to (re) watch the Japanese version, you can watch it on YT for a longtime already and someone even uploaded newer files in higher quality and are full 25 minutes per clip. These are Raw episodes but you can use YouTube's own subtitles function for English translation. I am at episode 26 now, the Sonic Adventure saga, i am having so much fun. 😁😁

Sell Sonic to nickelodeon and they will never stop making a Sonic show. Even when one ends a new one will start.

I liked the first, plus Sonic and Freedom Fighters or whatever it was called. Everything after that was wonky.

@tendonerd Why are they going to do something so dumb?

@Dakotastomp I suppose

Sonic X was just put on Netflix, maybe it’s a sign?

In all seriousness though, a new Sonic TV series, wherever it airs or whatever it’s inspired by is great by me, because I just really want more animated Sonic goodness (as long as it’s not inspired by Sonic Underground, that show can commit not exist)

If its like the shorts, but longer and with speech I am up for it.

I'd personally like to see one. Maybe there's a good chance to bring back Cosmo...

@ZeldaGeekBoy94 I'd want them to bring back Cosmo if I could choose to add a character to this potential show. Personally, I think she could have a better chance of becoming more recognizable.

@Sanangelo89 Cosmo was my favorite Sonic X original character. Hope she can appear in the future in some way.

@Seanmyster6 I’d like them to do CGI like Sonic Boom, or it may end up being anime like Sonic X. As long as they’re using current voice actors Wally Wingert, Colleen Villard, Dave B. Mitchell, Karen Strassman, Aaron LaPlante, Kirk Thornton, Patrick Seitz, Cindy Robinson, Kyle Hebert, Bryce Papenbrook, Roger Craig Smith, Kirk Thornton, Erica Lindbeck and Mike Pollock.

@tendonerd No, they should sell Sonic to Disney or Warner Bros. Nah, keep him with Paramount, so long as he stays outta Nick's hands.

@AlienX They should incorporate those stories plus Unleashed, Colours, Lost World and Forces.
