I realized something while watching this review. I, like you, thought Chris' attachment to Sonic was unnaturally strong given how little time he and Sonic spent together, and I thought he should've felt more attached to Tails, Amy, and Cream since he spent more time with them. But then I realized that's exactly why he felt more attached to Sonic. Chris views his mother and father as his parents, even though his grandpa and maid (and also kinda his butler) are the ones parenting him. There's a deleted/trimmed flashback scene from the Japanese version where Chris was waiting for his mother and father to come home for Christmas, and when the door opens, it's not them, but Ella with two presents they sent because they weren't coming after all. I think all that was left of that scene in the dub is him looking sadly at the trainset they sent him, which makes him look spoiled and ungrateful. His natural, biological longing for attention from his mother and father, aggravated by their broken promises, shaped his attachment style so that he craves the attention of whoever pays him the least mind. Just like he wishes his mother and father could be around while feeling like his grandpa and maid aren't his official parents, he wants Sonic to stay and values him as a best friend more than Tails and the girls. Him kidnapping Sonic was him trying to take control in his life. He's never been able to get his parents to stay, so he wants to get someone to stay.

12:38 "And whenever Rouge comes on screen, a saxophone has a seizure...like...eVerY sIngLe TimE." As a musician and saxophonist, I find this line extremely hilarious. The saxophone riff does get annoying. But I get why they do it. Rouge is a sexy character.

This was my favorite show as a kid. I always loved how’d they connected the Adventure games to the show.

A bit of trivia: Season 3 was commissioned by 4kids and a French company due to the success of the show in those territories. The third season never even aired on Japanese television until very recently, it went straight to video there.

If you haven't watched S3 in Japanese, do it, or at least the last several episodes. It gets REALLY good.

I hate how the dub handled Chris’s episode, making it all like “oh but you’re my best friend, Sonic!” It’s different in Japanese: Chris asks Sonic why he’s been by his side all this time, and why Sonic went along with him instead of going back to his world, and Sonic replies “because you saved my life” Chris gets upset and asks if Sonic has only been with him because he feels like he owes Chris, and questions if they are friends, and Sonic says “friendship is free will” like you can’t force friendship, dude. Chris realises how he’s been holding Sonic back, and notes how in the past few days Sonic hasn’t even been able to run free because of him, and realises that he is a “bad friend”

But in the dub he only lets Sonic go because Sonic is like “yOu’eR mY fRieNd, aNd we’Ll sEe eAch otHEr aGAiN”

Damn, Shadow made a friend and lost her all over again and it was cut out of the dub. Well, she just jetted off instead of died.

I just hate how tails was treated in this and the games,like he’s a helpless little kid. I was happy when tails found someone to attach to and love(cosmo being that someone of course). To this day it irritates me how Sega treats tails as a character and keeps him in the role of the helpless little kid.

@charleyrodijk1675 5 years ago

Cosmo is really underrated. Unlike other original characters in Sonic X, Cosmo was actually useful, as she translated the Metarex language and supported the group, in fact, without her, Sonic and his friends wouldn't be able to stop the Metarex. She is also adorable with an shy and clumsy personality who has air sickness and doubts herself. Her friendship with Tails is the highlight of her character, making the ending heartbreaking. Tails also was kind of an badass when Shadow chased Cosmo to kill her. I do like Sonic X a lot, but the flaws keep it from getting any better for me.

I can't explain how happy the fact that he's seen Snapcube's fandubs makes me.

@theAmazingJunkman 5 years ago (edited)

The peak of Sonic X for me is in the Adventure game arcs. They do a better job at explaining Maria, and the Shadow line “Don’t talk to me about fair! NOT AFTER WHAT HAPPENED HERE!” gets me every time.

@TheMaxKell 6 years ago

people think , humans mystaking Sonic for shadow is dumb, I can totally see why but imo it isn' this far stretched,
the only thing humans know about Sonic is that he's fast and can change colour(Super Sonic) so giving the fact that during Shadow stealing the emeralds the only thing humans knew was that it was stole by a hedgehog going at high speed at night, it is not dumb of them at all to assume it's sonic and he maybe changed colour,
For amy it's way more difficult to defend because she "knows" Sonic but even for her it's debatable

@shumpdaddy9269 5 years ago

Eggman threatened to blow up the earth he wasn’t going to actually do it because he wouldn’t have an empire to rule if he did. So when he tells the Metarex that hurting innocent people is not expectable is actually in character.

Not gonna lie: Sonic X is what brought me into the Sonic fandom! I enjoyed this show a lot and fell in love with the characters and wanted to know more about them. And before I knew, I was actually a fan of this franchise! :D

"There will be spoilers" Oh yeah, it's been out for a quite a bit hasn't it?
"but it's 17 years old, so don't sweat it."
I've become decrepit.

@TheAbsol7448 5 years ago

Sonic X is great, but there are a lot of issues. The potential is there, so I really hope they'll reboot it someday.

@Obi-Wan_Kenobi 5 years ago (edited)

Ngl, even in the english dub, this show had some SERIOUS emotional moments. The top 3 I remember are when Shadow remember Maria and you see tears in his eyes, when Sonic leave Chris and you see his tears splash against Chris's face, and when Cosmo sacrificed herself.

I don't remember if I cried in these episodes, I do remember getting pretty dang close.

Tails: ThomasCapella asks "To everyone except Shadow because he already answered: What's your favorite anime?"
Eggman: Mine's a bit dark. You might not like it. Involes ghouls and the like.
Sonic: Heh, mine's easy. Sonic X! Not that I'm bias or anything. How bout you, Tails?
Tails: I like the one where the kid becomes a hero, One for All!
Shadow: Mine's still the one with the girl and the Scissor Blade. It's the greatest anime of all time and none of you will ever change my mind.
