Sonic Discussion

@northern haste

So Sonic 3 is absolutely being seen as a better Movie than the past Two by a Landslide?

What are People’s Opinion on Sonic OVA from the 90s? (Some of the OST are damn Neat!)

@Background Pony #DE63
The OVA is alright, the dubbing is pretty ridiculous, the animation is pretty good, I like the cast (although Princess Sarah I find kinda annoying) and the story is unique. While I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite of Sonic media, I do have some nostalgia for it.

That all said, I can definitely agree that Sonic 3 is easily the best in the series so far; I personally would tie it with 2 since there is so much I love about that film, but realistically 3 surpasses.

@Dr_Osaka
The unfortunate Part with the OVA is that it never got continued even when there were Plans in Motion, so that’s a Aspect for why that Sonic Media doesn’t feel completed. (LOL at Princess Sara/Sarah with your Comment, she certainly felt somewhat like a Character that was supposed to be Bratty & obviously having that little “Furry Factor” to her with the Tail & Ears XD)

Hopefully Metal Sonic gets the right Treatment when he plays a Important Factor/Part in the next Movie, always found Fascination with the Character. :)

@Background Pony #DE63
Technically speaking the OVA was gonna be a Sonic anime, but for one reason or the other it didn’t get picked up so they took the two episodes they made for it and combined them into a short movie, so that’s why it feels a bit disjointed at times.

@Dr_Osaka
Mhm. I would’ve been really interested if a complete Sonic Anime was happening, what Type of Stories they could’ve told with it, a true Definition of “What If” indeed. :o (By the way, “Look-A-Like” is a Fine Banger in my Opinion)

I didn’t like Shadow and Sonic’s interaction in the movie

The OVA was interesting because it was kind of only nominally associated with the series; the Chaos Emeralds aren’t even mentioned in the film at all (I’m guessing MGM still doing that failed film adaptation - where the Emeralds were suppossed to have been a major plot point - during the OVA’s production kept them off-limits), and Sonic’s a far bigger jackass than he usually is.

@SleepySteve
Japanese Sonic was always an asshole and a Delinquent

@Don’t
From what I’ve heard Japanese Sonic is not really a people person. He’s a little introverted. Which is why in Sonic X he doesnt hang out with friends too often. He likes them and he’ll hang out but he’s not a guy who actively socializes.

So maybe thats why he can be a little standoffish when he thinks others are eating into his schedule.

@SleepySteve
Still he wasn’t anywhere near as jerky as he was in Fleetway/STC.

@Don’t
Really? I enjoyed it, and the way they bounce off each other whether comical or serious.

@Dr_Osaka
I think it’s because to put it bluntly Sonic isn’t very popular in Japan. That’s why more western shows and comics exist.

@Beau Skunky
Regarding your final comment: Then why did Sonic X happen?

@Blissful690
Maybe its not on the same level as Dragon Ball in terms of cultural influence. But there probably has to some Japanese fandom for it. Maybe its not a major culural semsation like Pokemon but there still has to be one.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
There’s some Sonic fans in Japan, but nowhere near as many as North America and Europe.

Like “Fire Emblem” has a small cult fandom in America, but it’s very very huge in Japan. Supposedly it’s even more popular there then stuff like Zelda is.

@Blissful690
Because they always planned to bring it to other countries too, and they were trying to use it to help popularize Sonic in Japan. (They tried that with an F-Zero anime and Ban Dai toy cars in Japan too.)

It apparently didn’t work, as supposedly the Metarex saga/season didn’t even fully air on TV in Japan, and TMS had to put them up online. That’s how unpopular Sonic is there, SX didn’t even fully air there.

Also, just because something gets a TV show doesn’t mean it’s super popular always. Like I said, sometimes it’s used to try to make something more popular.

Minor spoilers for sonic 3.
I’ve peen people talk about a metal sonic voice actor. And I think some are being serious as it’s not just chris pratt jokes. I want going to suggest just getting Ben Schwartz with More serious tone,
Then it occurred to me, Metal doesn’t actually talk, At least in his regular form. And mute characters especially animated one’s very appreciated.

Who do most People in the Sonic Fanbase prefer, Princess Sara/Sarah or Princess Elise?

@Background Pony #DE63
I hardly see any fans of those characters. The only princess Sonic fans seem to like is Princess Sally Acorn from the SatA.M. and Archie Sonic comic canons.

I have seen some fans draw Elise as a cutesy hedgehog princess though.

@northern haste
I think they’ll keep said character mute, as Metal Sonic is a bit cooler/scarier when he doesn’t talk. Aside from maybe Metal Overlord being an exception.

@Beau Skunky
The answer is blaze.

@Angrybrony
Well yeah Sally Acorn of course is the better Princess(with Blaze being upthere). :)

@Background Pony #DE63
Blaze

@Angrybrony
@Don’t
I forgot Blaze was one.

Heck, seeing her in Sonic X Shadow Generations is probably the first time we’ve seen her in a decade or so aside from the Olympics game roster.

she was also in that sonic murder mystery parody.

princess sonia gets some good play.

@Background Pony #DE63
the answer is still blaze.
