purplehpurple Back in the day every series that 4Kids got their hands on was the subject of controversy. They were derided for their censorship and unusual changes made to series, and Sonic X certainly got its fair share of that. Honestly though, even if the dub were more accurate to the original it still would not have been great.Sonic X is a series where its hero is so powerful and so competent that they have to focus on other characters fro the majority of the show, otherwise the stories would be over in half the time. Chris and his family are wastes of time. Sure, some people wound up liking the characters, but if you ask most people they'd tell you that when they watch a Sonic show what they want to see are Sonic characters. If they had been new animal people like the Freedom Fighters in SatAM and Archie Sonic that would be one thing, but these human characters are just given far too much focus in a Sonic the Hedgehog series.It's not very funny, the animation isn't very thrilling, and it gives too much attention to characters most audiences don't care for. Yes, the original dub was a bit funnier and had more fourth wall breaking jokes, but that didn't make it great. Sonic X is just okay. I wouldn't recommend anyone seek it out, but if for some reason you have literally nothing else to watch and you just need something on, Sonic X will do.
shermanklump Seriously, this show has it's up's and downs ever since it's release, but the Japanese & English dub of this show isn't bad at all. It's everything you'd expect to see in a sonic series, high thrills, a great since of adventure, a good story, and episode plots. It's classic! Sonic defeats egg-man, collects chaos emeralds, runs fast etc. By the third season it got better by introducing the matrix. Why does this show get frowned about by some? Just because of Chris? Oh well! He wasn't all that bad. That doesn't make this a bad series. Coming off from Sonic Boom we get twice the amount of pointless characters like Zooey, Mike The Ox, Dave The Intern etc. If you think Chris is bad, try watching Sonic Boom, it's even worse. Doesn't even try to resemble anything Sonic related whatsoever. That show instead focuses around getting pets, redecorating houses, boy bands, bro down, show downs etc. It's embarrassing. Sonic X may not be perfect, but it's made it's mark to be one of the best Sonic series out there. Sonic X worst offender is probably is English dub, but even then isn't bad. I highly recommend it! Especially the Japanese dub.
Jason_VoorheesIMDb Sonic X is a show where it's so bad it's good. Because let's be honest as a kid it was awesome but when you get older you see the flaws and why people wouldn't like it. As a kid I loved Sonic X I would always watch it over and over and over again. But now looking back it's nothing special. It's still good but not as good as you remember it. Like Inspector Gadget you know it's nothing special but for kids it's great. Because while Sonic X is a good show it does have it's moments that annoy you. But then the bad moments go away and then the good moments come back. And even the opening theme song is enough to get kids hyped. Because my friends who watch this show have kids who always feel the need for speed after watching it. Conclusion Sonic X is a show you might wanna give a try. Not a bad show let it pass.
TheLittleSongbird I haven't played the games for a while, but I do remember them being fun, exciting and just great in general. I will say I am a huge fan of Sonic the Hedgehog SatAM, it was very well animated, well written and the stories were always done in a unique, faithful and mature way. Plus you have Jim Cummings as Dr Robotnik, he was amazing as always. However, I was really disappointed in Sonic X.It started off brilliantly, with a wonderful first couple of episodes, good music with exception of the theme tune and a great concept, and then it all went downhill just like that.My first major problem with Sonic X is that the characters are not well-developed. That is with the exception of Chris, but the thing is there is too much of him, and not enough of Sonic and everyone else. Sonic in the SatAM series had a personality, and a unique one at that, but that personality doesn't come across here. And later Chris gets really annoying and obnoxious. Secondly, the animation quality is uneven, in the first episode it was fine, but as the series progressed it became jerky, rushed and lacking in crispness and vibrancy. Thirdly, the story lines are not as well thought out or as gripping, some of the episodes here are poorly structured and even have major contradictions to the games. Fourthly, while I liked the incidental music, the theme tune I did not like, I for one didn't find it catchy or memorable and later it even got annoying. Fifthly, the writing lacks intelligence and verve, the villain Dr.Eggman(or shall I say Dr Robotnik) especially has some lame dialogue that didn't make sense. Finally, I didn't find the English dub voice work that great, the actors try their best with superficial material but with the characters so underdeveloped nobody stands out.Overall, disappointing, started off great, but as the show progressed the flaws became increasingly abundant. 3/10 Bethany Cox
