Sonic cd was the first sonic movie

It's funny but goddamn I still remember in like 93 seeing pictures of that FMV in some video game magazine and 7 year old me, not even knowing what anime was but hearing about NEW SONJC CARTOON really blew my little mind.

And I think the Sonic CD FMVs are still the best animated example of sonic doing cool Sonic things. No story. Just that fast little fucker running around doing crazy acrobatics. Being hella fly.

Sonjc being escorted reluctantly, still dancing, from his own event is one of the stranger things I've seen this week and I watched a lot of he RNC.

Sonic is back. Probably just had too much to drink on top all those chili dogs and needed to have a cleansing puke.

They're actually playing His World

It's a good song in the very specific genre of Sonic the Hedgehog Rock.

Is there any kitsch modern ironic Sonic value to be had playing Shadow the Hedgehog?

I'm just running in a mobius strip of liking a franchise and I've come to accept it.

I loved Sonic as a kid. I didn't have many video games and I was homeschooled. As a result I can probably beat Sonic 3 & Knuckles in my sleep with my hands amputated. Also read the Archie comics.

Then I grew up and Sonic was just sort of beneath me and every time I'd at least try to enjoy one of the new games they always let me down and kept getting worse and the fandom is other got weirder and worse I just noticed. So Sonjc was dead to me until I started seeing videos of the daytime stages from Unleashed and was blown away. Then I saw the were hog stuff. Then 4 came out and that was fun for a second then it sucked.

But I've never been able to shake a basic fondness for the series, especially as it went deeper and deeper into bulldada. Really loved Generations. Couldn't get the hang of Lost World at all.

So yeah. I'm in the same position. I have a lot fondness for Sonic as a character and a franchise. I like Sonic. I like going fast. Eggman is probably my favorite villain ever.

When Sonic is good it's amazing.


But when Sonic sucks. (which is most of the time) it's gonna be baaaaad.

But Sonic kind of gets more powerful the more he sucks. Even before the social media reinvention, Sonjc has been at least amusingly bad. There's a Shrek aspect to it, but Sonic is a more fun appealing character and the franchise, despite its roots, has a weird sincerity lacking from the other avatar of mediocrity.

If Sonic Mania seems like an impossible thing to gently caress up. They better not because I really want to play that poo poo.

Started watching Sonic Boom because of this thread. It's pretty funny. Jokes are mostly on point. The animation is nice and pretty. But tbh it's Mike Pollock's Eggman that's keeping me watching.

I just watched the Season finale and now want to go back and watch more just because of how hilarious their use of Shadow was.

Also the joke writing is seriously decent from what I've seen. It's basically "What if Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog was good?" The show.
And The funny animal Alex Jones character is p. Funny too.

Pollack clearly LOVES being Eggman and he just sells the show. The rest is good. Maybe the most amazing night thing is that for once Tails has a voice that isn't totally grating. Amy has a personality.

My ideal Aonic shiwnwouldnactuallyntonenwise be somewhere between the OVA and the U.K. Comic. I think sonic works best when there's a mixture of flashy attitude but paired with an actual adventure. It doesn't have to be grimdark serious, but there's room in the Sonic world for some drama and stakes.

Boom is not that, but it's really good for what it is. It also looks way better than it has any right to look. It's like an action sitcom and it hits the tone it's going for really well.

Sonic CD's levels are partly built for exploration but the real secret of Sonic CD is that the level design is a time attacker's dream. Weird little dips and spots that don't make sense the first time become clear when you start hitting the time attack mode.
