What do you want the new Sonic cartoon to be like? (5-25-02)
Sega is reportedly producing a new Sonic anime. What do you want to see in the series? What characters, plots, or other elements would you like featured? If it turns out to be somewhat different from the games, like the first anime was, would you mind?

Okay, here I go. First of all, I heard there was a boy named Chris in it and I really wouldn't want a human to be one of the main characters.It takes all the fun out if it being Sonic! I didn't like the whole Sonic Live comic, so I don't want anymore humans in it.

I'd also like Mina to be in it. She's a new character and needs a chance to shine! She got shot down by Sonic in the comics (sadly) and I would really like for her to be more of a main character. She has a lot of potential and lots of energy so that would be neat.

I would like to have a new plot, not with Dr. Robotnik, they use him too much. I would like a fresh face, a new villan a lot more cunning the Eggman. Someone who gets close to winning so it keeps you on the edge, I don't want good to win to easily.

Okay, I've said my two cents.

A Sonic anime series would be awesome! I'd like to see it with all of the SegaSonic characters in it, including Amy Rose, the Chaotix, Fang, Big and Rouge. The original voices from the video games should be in it, too (Not like the girl-with-a-cold voice of Tails in the first dubbed anime). The Super & Hyper forms of the characters should be in it, too (Like Super Sonic, Hyper Knuckles, etc.). But the thing that I would really love to see in the anime is Shadow! It would be cool to see him animated! If the anime will stray away from the video game plots, I would'nt mind. Just as long as it has some good stories in it, I'll like it. Also, a Sonic anime should have loads of action, so I would like to see it on Cartoon Network, or their Toonami block.

Hi, I looked over the survey section in Sonic HQ and it was asking what that people would like to see in the new anime that SEGA is makeing.

Well I have a few opinions. First off about the characters, I would "not" like to see that Rouge character in the anime, she was ok for the first three minutes but other than that she is just not one of my favorite charcters, and I really, really did'nt like her. Though about Shadow, since there is little knowlage as to if he died or not in Sonic Adventure 2 so hes kinda sketchy to say if hes even a consideration, he was a good character so I would'nt mind seeing him in the anime. Though no more of those little 'smurf' things either please.

Though the main four, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Robotnik are purely fine with me.

Now about the story or how the anime will be. I'd like to see it in a more post-modern apocoliptic state, like from the early sonic games, and if you've played Sonic CD, in the future parts. And maybe to help you understand what I'm saying like for example if you've read the comics you'd probably notice that it had a post-modern "Robotnik just took over everything and everything is machine" type deal, thats what I'm saying

Though I'm also a big fan of the SATAM series though I'm not saying I would want it exactly like that. Though maybe around that area.

Anyway thats what I think. Hope that was'nt too confusing:oP Though if you have any questions please ask.

~Chris

SHQ,

What I really want to see in the new Sonic X T.V. series is for Tikal and Chaos to return. I also think that Tails should earn a bigger role than just being Sonic's "Little Buddy." I also want to learn more about Crème, Cheese, and Chris. I think Crème and Tails would make a super-cute couple on that show. I also heard that Big the cat might appear on the show and, THAT'S THE WORST IDEA SINCE THE IDEA OF MAKING BIG IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! I also think that somehow Chris doesn't really fit into the classical all animal, no human Sonic Team. I want there to be chaos in the show, but on second thought what are the chaos really going to do?

As far as the storyline I hope Sonic Team has a plot as good as the plots for SA+SA2. The plots for those games were soooo totally awesome! I also think that Sonic should somehow get captured by Eggman in one of the episodes and need Tails, Amy, Crème, Tikal (Hopefully), and Knuckles to save him.

Ever since I found out about the show I've been hoping that it will spark a Sonic Craze (cuz I'm tired of being the only person that I know who takes a Sonic action figure everywhere I go due to my Sonic obsession)

Hi, my name is Carlos.

I'm a huge Sonic fan and quite frankly this new Sonic anime I keep hearing about is keeping me on edge.

Personally I would like to see Sonic(of course), Tails, Knuckles and Amy. In the bad guy section I would do anything just to see Metal Sonic, Chaos and Shadow fighting Sonic! I wanna see an Eggman with the same look as in Sonic Adventure but with the same twisted and dark mind from the Sonic Archie Comics. The rest of the cast of Sonic Fighters could do some special apperances. And heck, why not other Sega characters? They could have cameo appearances of Shinobi, Beat from Jet Set Radio, Lagi and Egde from Panzer Dragoon Saga, Ecco the Dolphin, the Burning Rangers and heck, even Virtua Fighter Characters! Sonic is Sega's mascot so why not place other characters even if their role lasts a few seconds or a full episode? It also would be nice having special star cameo appearances, like Michael Jackson, Will Smith or even important political figures like Al Gore, Prsident Bush and even Boris Yeltsin...all in full anime design,but that would be to much to ask! But It would be nice to see Yu Suzuki and Yuji Naka making apparences in the series.

As far as plot goes, I wish for a plot that's in the lines of the hunt for the Chaos Emeralds and also dark and mysterious forces threatening Earth(NO MOBIUS!NO SONIC SATAM CHARACHTERS!!) and Sonic being able to change into Super Sonic. Flashbacks of the characther's past would be a welcome addition. It's gotta have action, a bit of emotion and alot of humorous and serious moments.

It would be nice to see more romance between Sonic and Amy. To see Amy's true feeling for Sonic become bigger and clearer, now that's something.

To end this, it doens't have to be 100% consistent with the videogame saga. Surely they can make something new so It doesn't look too similar to SA1 or SA2 or the rest. Hope this isn't too long to read.
Thanks!

Carlos

  • i think that there should not be a new anime if it will be any thing like the last one because that was the worst sonic thing i'd eva seen. i think that sega should make a new series that follow the same story as the comic do because that was the best story and the real story because it had all the game story lines and also other great storys - Compaq
  • no. - Mary
  • I can't wait till Sonic Anime 2!!! It should be much better than the first one. Anyway one thing I'm not sure of is if I want the characters to be designed like in the first one or how they are in the Sonic Adventure series. All the characters should be in it including Amy, the animals,etc. The Chaotix, Master Emerald, Power Rings, Chaos Emeralds, and Super Sonic should be in it and maybe the Super Emeralds, Hyper Sonic, Super Knuckles, Hyper Knuckles, Super Tails, Bark and Bean. The plot should be about how Robotnik bio-scans all the characters to make different 'bots like Silver Sonic, Mecha Sonic(from Sonic&Knuckles)Metal Sonic(from SonicCD)Tails Doll and Metal Knuckles(from SonicR)Mecha Knuckles(from SonicAdvance)etc. Robotnik does this by draining the Master Emerald's power which of course makes Angel Island fall. Robotnik then creates another DeathEgg(like in Sonic the Fighters) and builds a Black Eggrobo that turns against him to destroy planet Freedom by himself, but Sarah later convinces him to stop being evil. Well I guess Sonic Team will decide what the storyline will be like and it will hopefullyhave more than the first movie. - the greatest Sonic fan, Daniel Winner
  • There must be an animé for everything now... The first thing would be to make it REAL close to the game. The games are pretty much the only Sonic outside of AoStH and SatAM that I can relate to. And relating to is what makes a TV show popular. After all, which show has more correct baby psychology than Rugrats? It's a given, but Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Eggman should be in it. The weird Archie characters are out of the questions, them being created in the United States. However, it would be perfectly reasonable if the Chaotix, Bean, Big, Rouge, Shadow, and Bark show up once in a while, particularly Bean. He looks like a Sonic character that should've been in a ton of games, but I guess another cartoon can be the 2nd medium to show that he has great potential and can link up to countless plots. One last request, if at all significant, is to have it put into English, one way or another (AKA Subs or Dubs) I don't care, and brought to Cartoon Network, either on Toonami Midnight Run or the Saturday Adult Swim, since I get everything on there 3 hours early. - Dr. Robotnik
  • In the Sonic anime I want to see all the characters: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy Rose, Rouge, Shadow, Super Sonic, Super Tails, Super Knuckles, Eggman, The Chao,and Gamma. I would like see to Sonic and the others, their history and background like where they live and how they got their powers. I hope it's a funny, fun, adventurious, not childish, not cheesy, and action show. I just hope they include every character from Sonic that I listed. I hope it's nothing like Pokemon, Hamtoro, or Zoids. I hope they include important places like Angel Island, Station Square, South Island, and all the places from the game. I hope they have rings, chaos emeralds, The Master Emerald, and Eggman's inventions. They should have funny inside jokes and funny skits. They should have cameos like The Super Mario Brothers, Link, Zelda, other Zelda characters, Dragonball Z, Tenchi Muyo, and Sailor Moon. That's a suggestion. - Katie
  • yes and it would be cool if the fans could send in drawings to make the new seasons characters - Orhan
  • well you have to have that nasty Robotnik because he is so mean.I have seen many cartoons and the ones i like best is when the good guys barely make it in sticky situations like getting trapped deep in a volcano that will erupt in less than 5 min.So maybe Robotnik can have schemes effecting the whole planet including Sonic!

    Anyway,make episodes really long so peaple can whatch more,making them wonder what will happens next. Beleive me. It works - Austin

  • the New Sonic Anime- I would like to see Knuckles and the Chaotix. and hopefully it will be on a regular cable channel. Enemies like Mecha Sonic,Mecha Knuckles,Robotnik, Freedom Fighters hopefully will also be in the new cartoon. and all the chaos emeralds and master emerald.
  • It difinately has to include sonic, tails, knuckles and amy! it could have minor appearances of the chaotix crew too. I think robotnik should have a new evil helper (only one) that looks a little like shadow. Rouge should appear in it too. - Rebecca
  • I would love to see the Archie Comics come to screen, and with their new Anime style, the transition wouldn't be that hard. I liked Knuckles' hat from the first one, but NOT that they called him a gopher. THAT had me furios for months. - Austin
  • I would like no Sally in this. Sally stinks. I want Shadow in it. No comic book characters whatsoever. I would like all the characters from SA1 and SA2 in it, exept for stupid fat Big, pointless E-102 and Chaos. I want Sonic to fall in love with Amy. I want to see what happens when Rouge steals the master emerald from Knux and he never gets it back. I want to see more humor. I want a special episode where all the characters tie Sally to a pole and burn her. Then there is a big feast and they play pin the tail on the donkey. I want to see a new character. I want Shadow to be more sinister. I want robotnik to be ran over by the presidents limo, them Tails steals his eggwalker. I want to see Robotnik eating eggs. I want to see Rouge eating the m.e., then finding it is jello that holds the island up. I want a scene where Sonic and Amy get married, and Sally is crying in the backround of jealousy. I want to see them all have a picnic on pumpkin hill. I want to see omachao being tied up then thrown in the water. I want Knux to sing rap songs at his concert. I want to see Shadow and Maria run into each other. I want to see Knuckles and Rouge play a nasty game of ping pong. Also, I want each character to wear big bulky sweeatshirts. They will wear tights for pants. Good day. - Susan
  • I want to see all the sonic characters in the movie except Big, Sally,Bunnie,Antouine,Dulcy, and maybe Snively,all of them will be good even Shadow and Rouge.I also want to see Sonic Adventure2:Battle's plot and the short scenes from the game.Three other characters I would like to see are Manic,Sonia,and Aleena,their good to.And I want to see things from Sonic Underground and Sonic The Hedgehog Saturday morning.Amy would be good to,plus I want to see her somewhat smoothering Sonic and all the other things she does to him.Thats all I want to see,I can't wait.

    Sincerely, A big fan of Sonic

  • I'd like to see Shadow the Hedgehog. A couple of really good episodes with him would be that this corporation called Geneo Tech created an android Maria to trick Shadow in returning to the Ark so that they can claim the "ultimate life form" as their own and try to recreate his abilities, but limit the amount of freewill.

    Shadow is the character from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, and he is very cool! I think it would be neat if he had his own social connections with Amy Rose since she helped him remember his promise to Maria. And also pair him up with this fanfic I have, a cat-creature named Merelda who is a master thief and summoner of darkness.

    I also have another fanfic named Raden "Hunter" Breeds who is a Lt. at the Cove Harbor Military Base and a well-accomplished pilot. He had a crash accident during his rookie years, but went back into the air not long after his recovery when any normal soldier would be traumatized...this has earned him a lot of respect by the other soldiers of the base and the envy of his commander's superior. - Dennis

  • I won't mind if the anime strays a little from the game itself,I just hope its not corny. I also would like it if the voices were the same as the ones in the games with acting lessons coming before to the actual voice over recording! I might be sounding picky but I just like voices to stay constant you know. - vulpix
  • I heard that they are making two cartoons. One is a T.V. series, the other is a movie based on, get this, Sonic Adventure 2.

    So in the T.V it would have to be KNUCKLES & CHAOTIX!!! They are just the coolest. Also they could come to some sort of agreement with Archie and bring in Julie-Su (you know her. The fantasticly gorgeous girl-friend of Knux). Mabey they could have an on screen smooch!

    In the case of Sonic Adventure 2 movie I would love to see SEGA items. So in the intro Sonic could be collecting rings or using shields in the various scraps he gets into. Also the teams Chao. And what would be SA2 without Rouge and her huge... ears. - Martin

  • in the show i would want the sonic adventure 2 characters - LINKWEAPON
  • I think there should be Knuckles all kinds of Chao and new characters - Rainydaye
  • I think that it should be similar to the SATam series but should also have some things that are in the comic like certain characters like the chaotix and mina - Virtualjosh
  • I think that Sonic X rocks. It is the first Sonic Anime that i can see. I never knew about Sonic OVA. I think, that if this goes well in America and Europe, that Yuji Naka will create the Big Screen movie. I mean, Samaus has one, so why cant Sonic. With 52 episodes, i hope that they get through it without repeating, but most likley they will. I have kept in close contact with Sega, and they said, that is is quite an honor, to find a line up on FoxBox. They hope, that this will bring back Sonic's name along with Sonic Heroes. Anyway, as a HUGE Sonic Fan, i must say, its great to See that Sonic X is coming in under 70 days. I am keeping count! - Sammy
  • I love it if the storyline was *drumroll*Sonic Adventure 2 Battle! OMG,I love that game! Plz,plz,plz,plz,plz let the anime plot be like that! But, now that I think about, it would be short, soooooo... how about SADX, then SA2:B! Most of all......SHADOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!He is the coolest guy ever to live!!!!! Do you know what channel it will come on? Plz, whatever you do talk to the people at Sega, and tell them a cray fangirl of SA2 wants the anime to have that storyline. After all, think about it! Shadow,Rouge,and Knuckles animeized! - Steph
  • I would like to see a metal Shadow And the whole sonic gang's clones - Frame-N-Tiques
  • I would like to see a story about sonic(of course!) tails,knuckles,sally,shadow,and vector. It would be about them fighting a new enemy... Dark Shadow & Dark Sonic? Plus the added help of metal sonic& hyper shadow - NickArt22
