Let me start off by saying this... To really get full enjoyment out of this anime you will either need to be an avid Sonic fan (enjoying the story and characters from the Dreamcast era games) or a kid who enjoy harmless action sequences.

I am writing this review on Sonic X as a life long Sonic fan. I've played all the games, I still speedrun Sonic Adventure 1 to this day. I love everything about the series (and try to overlook some of the bad things xD). Coming from this background I can easily enjoy the anime, enjoying seeing knuckles, shadow, tikal, eggman, and others ... all interact in new scenarios. If you are not coming from this perspective, I feel as if this show will fall very flat for you. Its not that its bad, just average.

Now for people who do enjoy the Sonic universe, and played the Adventure games, Sonic X will be a fun watch for you for the most part. The show recreates some of sequences and arcs directly from the Games (Chaos, Shadow, Space Colony Ark, Maria). While I do like seeing these events animated in a new fashion, I do also feel as if the show rushed and condensed these stories in to bite sized pieces for mainstream purposes. In this respect, the show effectively takes away the best plot elements and character development by instead focusing the plot on the newly introduced human companions (Chris and his family), I feel as if this really hurts the shows quality for sonic fans and casual viewers alike.

Now regardless of these ills, the show still provides cool action, new stories, voice acted characters that now speak much more than a couple lines like in the games (Big, Chaotix team, etc). If you like Sonic in general, this show should be watched. I think if I wasn't such a big fan of Sonic I think I would most likely give the show a 6-5, but coming from my background I got more enjoyment out of it.

Folk, imma be straight with ya. It just doesnt get much better than this.

Long live Tower of God!

It just has a sort of je nais se qous that I havent seen with any other show. the way it makes me feel is unparalleled with previous adaptations of the genre.

I really love the animation, especially the themes of power and authority.

How does someone know if they will like this epic show? If you like awsome soundtracks, amazin animations, mid style, with shonen get ups, you abosultuely need to watch! What I like about animes such as this is that anyone from 1 years old-78.5 ... years old can get some enjoyment out of this.

Well ill start off with the fact that this is the anime that got me into watching anime in the first place.
Ive always loved the pure randomness and slapstick style comedy. This show nails it on the head, the story didn't really click or really follow a path. But It was the most entertaining and hilarious show I believe I ever watched. It instantly can be put you in a good mood. To warn you it is sheer randomness, it would impossible to predicate anything, and thats best part. If you are dedicated to other story driven animes and hardcore character delvope. You might just ... actually hate this show. But if you want comedy and just one of the most obscure view experiences ever, I highly recommend it then!!
