What are your favorite memories of watching Sonic X? Lemme know!

The 4kids dub is THE reason Chris is such a hated character. The poor kid did NOTHING wrong yet people hate him because of a TERRIBLE English dub!

An uncut dub is highly welcome, and anything is possible. Recently, Saint Seiya (1986), Sailor Moon, and One Piece have all been given an uncut dub treatment despite being years (and decades) old. Imagine if TMS Entertainment and Studiopolis produced an uncut dub, and have many of the Naruto voice actors voice the whole cast. It's like hearing Deidara's voice on Sonic, Sexy Jutsu's on Amy, Konohamaru's on Charmy, etc. These same voice actors are still voicing Sonic and pals for at least a decade, and it would be interesting to hear a dub like this. If new home video releases happened, there would be Japanese, French, and uncut English as the possible audio languages, since they should all sync perfectly.

There was also one more lasting impact 4kids made to the Sonic franchise the intro song gotta go fast has become a mainstay in the franchise even becoming Sonic's official catchphrase even though MainLine Sonic hasn't even said it

Sonic X maybe came looking 4 Kids and TMS Entertainment.

Sonic X Anime 4kids

wait the uncensored dub of shaman king and yugioh were successful they just didn't know how much it will cost to make uncensore anime so they stop making them

The cast was good in the games

I honestly didn't like Sonic X. No offense to everyone who loved it - there's nothing wrong with liking things I don't - but it's actually my absolute least favorite Sonic cartoon. I even like Underground better (because it's so bizarre and bad in interesting ways). I honestly thought the animation in X was offensively bad, and the characterization was just bland. To be fair, I am not a fan of anime, which probably didn't help, as I find Japanese character tropes unrelatable? But I will cite a big example - who asked for an episode of something where Sonic plays baseball?

From what I heard, Sega asked 4Kids to make some of the edits because they needed them to meet Fox's network standards. I can't confirm it, but, it actually does make sense, since again, standards are a thing. Also, the Americanization might've also been from input from Sega, and honestly, I don't think previous Sonic shows have been strangers to adding specifically American foods into the shows. Like how the first Sonic show had Sonic's favorite food canonically be Coney Dogs (Which, as a Michigander myself, I'm actually kind of proud of.), so, I don't think Sega actually cared that American food was added in, since, it was consistant with a previous Sonic show which also had American food featured. Now, I don't currently have a source for this, but, it does make sense why Sega may have asked 4Kids to make the edits they made.

That's very interesting. I like how you emphasize the business and cultural needs of the time which resulted in the dub as we know it. It makes a lot of sense. I first saw the English dub and I thought it was fantastic. Only years later I found out there was the Japanese version and I started watching clips of it and thought, "wow, I was really robbed of a lot of good things in the dub."

I remember back when it was announced that Sonic X would be getting a Greek dub. I remember being so excited to finally hear these characters I love speak in my native language, being born in the early 2000's myself.

Love these kinds of videos you do. Keep up the great work! Excited to see more!

I just realised how you were once I went on your twitter page! I loved your stuff as a teen!! You rock!

I think this show is when Amy was Ned Flanderized Miraheze has the page.

Come to think of it, the hatred for sonic x reminds me of the hatred the looney tunes show has gotten back in 2011
