Sonic X

Sonic X, the 2nd anime adaption of Sega's mascot: Sonic the Hedgehog. Although, the 4kids dub was full of fail, the Japanese version was very enjoyable.

Story: The story involves many of the characters from the games, except this time adding more involvement with humans. Although the first arc was made of fillers (collecting chaos emeralds), the story gets better once you reach around 25. Episode 27 will start the game adaptions, and then the main series plot ends at 52. Ep 53-78 is the Meterex Wars arc, which wasn't aired in Japan due to TV Tokyo's drop of Sonic X. The japanese version of it is still avaibable through the Chinese DVD's though.

Animation: The animation is average. Nothing special about it. Some scenes aren't drawn very well, and the proportions were off. Also, I'm not fond the the art style used on humans. Decent enough though, still watchable.

Sound: I found the OST one of the best parts of the series. Plus the insert songs were also very well used, giving great emotion to various events during the story. Also Sonic engrish ftw.

Character: It involves the regular people you see in the games currently: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, etc. The personalities are the type you see in many shonen series. There is also the theme of friendship between the various species (humans, furries, and meterex)

Enjoyment: I found the entire series enjoyable, as a long time fan of the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Although a bit cheesy with the humans at times, the story is still enjoyable.

Overall: Not as great as the Sonic the Hedgehog OVA but still very enjoyable. The only thing I wish for is better animation quality.
