Sonic Prime

This may be receny bias, but wow! This show is amazing! It actually has character development, the animation is amazing, the story in engaging, and I'm hyped for Season 2! This is the best and darkest Sonic I've seen since, well Sonic SatAM! I loved the character of Nine(Alternate Tails), he is badass, a version of Tails that can only be described as, what if Tails was Shadow's partner instead, that's not what the scenario is, but it does match his personality. I love the Shatterverse worlds, and I love the score! No surprise it was this good, this show was made by Man of Action(the creators of Ben 10, Generator Rex and the comic Big Hero 6, which went on to become an Oscar winning animated film!) and Wildbrain(the developers of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and the Emmy winning show, Carmen Sandiego) Between this, Sonic Frontiers, Sonic The Hedgehog 2, Sonic Origins and the comics, this has been a great year for the blue blur.

So my experience of Sonic is having been a fan since the first games, both 90s series (SatAM and that... not so good one), Sonic Underground, Sonic X, the anime movie, Sonic Boom, the comics and of course all the games... You get the point- I'm an absolute nerd but I know Sonic 😆😆 What I love about this new series is you can absolutely tell this was made by other Sonic fans! I've wanted something exactly like this since the SatAM series that abruptly ended and most of us never got over lol.

The voices are slightly jarring, but only because of what we've been used to. I find them fitting and actually love the new energy they bring.

Given I'm in my 30s I probably shouldn't comment on the humor of a show for kids with a Y7 rating lol. But there's enough for the adults to be amused and entertained.

This long time Sonic fan is presently surprised.

This show is pretty much all I've ever asked for from the Sonic franchise. Faithful to the original material while still creating its own separate story? Check. Story is actually enjoyable and not insufferable and cringe trash? Check check. The Sonic characters have actual diverse personalities and are fun to watch? We got that too. Fun and bouncy animation that emphasizes the characters' personalities? Ya gotta love it.

Sonic Team, I want you guys to take notes. THIS is how you make the Sonic franchise fun. Seriously, if this came out when I was a kid who was crazy about Sonic, I would've ADORED it. You can obviously tell that the creators actually cared about the franchise, and they cared about making a good show. That's something that has seriously been overdue for Sonic.

The new Sonic content since at least the second movie, makes me realize how big of a problem the previous Sonic writers were. Still up to this day, I have to deal with a Sonic Colors/Boom PTSD. I hated the sarcastic, nerdy, dead inside comedy. Sonic Prime is the kind of energy Sonic should always have. The content is great for fast paced action and even fun humor.

The lore isn't religiously respected but it's not super outrageous neither. The characters are acting like themselves and their other versions are interesting for most of them. I'd say the weakest part was the forest universe and they don't drag it for too long. Also it's not an episodic deal, it's an actual series, so we revisit universes and there's a progression. If you liked the older Sonic stuff (before 2010) or you're a normie, it's an enjoyable show.

I have enjoyed the show very much and all the different realities and my personal favriot has to be the first on they visit where it is a depressing city .

The animation was very good espially in the jungle themed episodes and sonics new outfit with his gloves and shoes looked good in all episodes and all the charters alternative outfits all looked great at matched the charters well .

I do wish there was more of shadow more of him would've of been amazing and I hope that there will be a seson 2 and more of shadow in that also I would like to see more of big in the episodes .

Knuckles and tails had to be the best out of the charters when with sonic .

Overall I think this was an amazing show and I hope to see a season 2 .
