The pinned comment question of today is: what is _your_ favorite animated incarnation of Sonic the Hedgehog? What would your ideal _new_ Sonic animation be like?

Favorite: SONIC From "SONIC CD" ideal look: would say basically just like the one from Sonic CD '93 with a little lift in height like the one in the OVA '96 - '99 and then make it a little bit more polished on colors a bit, and that would be a nice *Sonic*

I don't think the people that made the OVA didn't know Knuckles isn't a mole, it's just that something was lost in translation. Sera actually calls him "Mogura-chan", and "mogura" does translate into "mole". However, "echidna" in Japanese is "harimogura" (needle mole).

So that's why they chose an echidna as a rival to a hedgehog. It's needle-mouse ("harinezumi") versus needle-mole ("harimogura")!

The English OVA voices of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Robotnik are my canonical voices of the Classic cast, despite the problems they have to others.

Everytime I see the old, rotund design of Robotnik during this age, I always feel a bit of serotonin in my bones. Idk why, but it's honestly a really cute design imo Also, I really wish bigger companies like Sega had certain departments where they research websites and videos circling around Sonic to determine what they should go through with. Personally, I'd love an actual continuation of this OVA, especially since the series has more material to work with. If that happens, I really hope Metal Sonic shows up again; he's my favorite from all of the cast. You can do so much with him and how he functions as a clone that *_wants_* to be Sonic but just...can't. He's an interesting bot, I'll say that for sure. Another great video! Love your short video essays and hope to see more!

He also talks in CD. He says, "Yes!" whenever he gets an extra life, and says, "I'm outta here!" when he's fed up with waiting for you to make a button input (or pause the game) and abandons his own game because you didn't pause it when you needed to go off to do something else for three minutes!

I feel like the voice cast did OK in both versions, but I think the Fandub did an actually great job. Sonic and Knuckles sound correct while Tails sound the closest to the recent games. Sera in my opinion sounded better in the fandub than the actual dub.

20:30 YOU JUST MADE ME REMEMBER THAT EDWIN NEAL PLAYED ROBOTNIK IN THIS!!! AKA NUBBINS SAWYER AKA THE HITCHHIKER FROM THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (1974). Texas Chainsaw (and slasher by extension) occupies the same level of autism special interest to me as an adult as Sonic and Pokemon both did when I was a small child, and when I first found this out maybe 3-4 years ago(?) I straight up couldn't believe it! Eggman and Hitchhiker share a voice! It makes my big autistic Sonic & horror nerd heart so so happy you don't even understand. Total geek out moment lol

1) There should've been at least a few *more* episodes of the OVA... 2) Through the various series' use of multi-dimensionalism (esp. "Sonic Prime", "Sonic Forces / Frontiers" and the fan movie "Sonic Villians"), I'd imaging the continuities were meant to be fractals of a single, whole dimension. 3) The old man owl character is one of the favorite characters of the entire Sonic franchise. Why not use him in some games?... 4) The "land of darkness" could've partly been a result of the "bad" ending to a "Master System" game called "Assault City". Likewise, the IDW concept of the aquatic mobians could be mixed with the "Ecco the Dolphin" series. They could've even mixed the game "Zaxxon" and it's sequel ("Super Zaxxon") into "Sonic X"'s season four; as well as "Astro Warrior", "Fantasy Zone" and "Ristar". "Sambo de Amigo" could even have been a guest star in "Sonic Underground"... 5) *There should've been at least a few **_more_** episodes of the OVA...*

Sega hasn't been playing it safe with Sonic at all in the 2010s Decade. Sonic was reduced to the joke of the gaming industry & SoA wanted to cash in on how bad the series was, while the Japanese Branch was focusing on Yakuza & other series. Sonic has been a parody of himself since Sonic Colors in 2010 & the games have been mediocre at best with maybe 2 exceptions during the 2010s. They forgot that Sonic was supposed to be cool, let people with no knowledge of the series at all become its lead writers for the 2010s decade, & made a few questionable voice casting decisions.
