Sonic Prime is an entertaining eight episode series with a lot of adventures, including traveling through different universes and meeting different versions of Sonic's friends. If you are a Sonic the Hedgehog fan or are looking for an enjoyable show to watch, check this out.

This series is about Sonic (Deven Mack Jr.), Tails (Ashleigh Ball), Amy Rose (Shannon Chan-Kent) and Knuckles (Adam Nurada) as they fight crime together to keep the town safe. As they are fighting Doctor Eggman (Brian Drummond), Sonic accidentally gets sent to a new universe, one where no one talks and no one knows who Sonic is, even though Sonic knows everyone there. Even in the new universe, it is up to Sonic to keep a new city safe.

I like how in almost every episode Sonic ends up in a new universe, every one of which is different. There is a universe where there are cavemen; a universe where there are pirates; and more. My favorite episode is episode seven, "It Takes One to No Place," because it's the most entertaining episode, ending with a great cliffhanger leading to the next episode. It made me want to continue watching more episodes. Watch out because you might not want to stop! My favorite character is Sonic, because he learns from his mistakes and he perseveres. These are great characteristics for anyone to have and it's why Sonic succeeds so much. Also Sonic is a really funny character and I like that.

The message of Sonic Prime is that mistakes can be fixed; you just have to fix them the right way. In the beginning, Sonic makes the mistake of not listening to people around him and he ends up in a parallel universe. He has to work with what he gets along the way and he fights to make it back to his universe. This show is very kid-friendly.

I give Sonic Prime 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12. Sonic Prime is available now on Netflix. Be sure to check it out! By Giana N., KIDS FIRST!

In the lush green area of Green Hill, Sonic the Hedgehog (Deven Mack) along with his friends Miles "Tails" Prower (Ashleigh Ball) a two tailed technically proficient fox, Knuckles the Echnida (Adam Nurada), pink hedgehog Amy Rose (Shannon Chan-Kent), and Rouge the Bat (Kazumi Evans) have seemingly foiled another one of Dr. Eggman's (Brian Drummond) plans only for it to have been a trick to help open the path to Eggman's true goal the Paradox Prism. During a battle with Eggmam, Sonic inadvertently strikes the prism and winds up in a dystopian world where Dr. Eggman along with his Chaos Council rule over the industrialized autocratic New Yolk City which is an alternate Green Hill. Now with alternate versions of his friends Sonic must face new threats in an attempt to return home.

Sonic Prime is the sixth animated series featuring Sega's anthropomorphic blue Hedgehog following previous versions such as the three DIC produced series from the 90s Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog (aka Sonic SatAM), and Sonic Undergorund, as well as the TMS produced anime series Sonic X and the CGI series Sonic Boom. Produced as a co-production between the United States, Canada, and Japan (hence why Colleen O'Shaunghnessey doesn't reprise her role as Tails from the video games due to Canadian content and union laws) the series was made for streaming service Netflix with a planned total episode count of 24 episodes covering the story. The series is written by noted writing collective Man of Action with creative consulting from Ian Flynn who has penned a number of Sonic comics for Archie, Boom, and IDW. Now with the first 8 episode season dropping on Netflix, I'm pleased to say this will be a welcome treat for fans of this franchise.

For the most part the series is arranged in such a way that pretty much anyone can enjoy this show even if they've not played a Sonic game or read a Sonic comic, but the show does expect its audience to be at least somewhat familiar with these characters (for example Shadow the Hedgehog is a recurring character and the show doesn't do the best job of re-introducing him but it's not a major hurdle). Once the show kicks off with its premise Sonic is the pretty much the only constant in the series as the rest of the cast are given alternate versions of themselves that contrast with how the audience knows them. For the most part I thought Deven Mack does a decent job as Sonic and he manages to convey the titular blue hedgehog's personality quite effectively with his voice over performance and he makes a good proxy for which the uniqueness of the other worlds to bounce off against. The show also delivers some enjoyable dimension hopping shenanigans with the novelty of seeing different worlds and different takes on established characters such as a battle hardened version of Tails named Nine or pirate or caveman like versions of the rest of Sonic's friend lending themselves to some unique setpieces with Shannon Chan-Kent as Amy Rose and her various incarnations a lot of fun playing the various versions of the character including the secondary antagonist Rusty Rose. The action is very on point for the series with the show delivering some unique and inventive fight sequences tailored to the various environments although on occasion the action beats can maybe last a bit too long at the expense of building character.

I think people will be really pleased with Sonic Prime as an entry in the franchise and if you enjoyed Sonic SatAM or the idea and marketing of Sonic Forces (that was a pretty big lie) you'll definitely get what you're looking for here.

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 .

Sonic Prime is a new show that is exclusive to Netflix, and it takes Sega's mascot in a whole new direction. As Sonic and his friends (Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Rouge) get in a battle with Dr. Eggman over the Paradox Prism, a jewel that can reshape the world of Green Hill to the evil doctor's liking, Sonic ends up shattering the prism as Eggman is about to rip it out of the ground. This results in Sonic being flung into the Shatterverse, a multiverse where he sees worlds with different versions of his friends, and even Eggman himself. Now he must travel between these worlds to find the shards of the Paradox Prism in order to get back to his own universe.

This series is a good one. With the voices, everyone has new VAs (due to this being made by WildBrain, a company in Canada, so because of that, the cast is mostly Canadian. Deven Mack takes over as Sonic, and I like him, as he actually channels the energy Ben Schwartz had for the movie version of the heroic hedgehog. In fact, all the actors do a good job doing their roles (which includes Ashleigh Bell as Tails, Shannon Chan-Kent as Amy, Kazumi Evans as Rouge, and even Brian Drummond as Dr. Egmman), with the only I am not liking being Normal Universe Knuckles, as they made him sound like a stereotypical strong man and his character all about smashing things (and not worrying about the Master Emerald, making me wonder why Sega keeps doing the rad red echidna powerhouse so horribly). At least his counterparts are better (as they get a different VA in Vincent Tong).

The series is great as it has a storyline going through each episode. While there only three alternate worlds at the time of this review (hopefully, the second and third seasons will add new worlds), it invents new takes on Sonic's friends (like Amy Rose as a robot named Rusty Rose, and Knuckles as a pirate captain named Knuckles The Dread), and the series is full of references to the games.

As a kids show, Sonic Prime is decent enough. There's some stunning action, fun characters and plenty of suspense. But it's a flawed concept that it is not executed very well, and so it ends up being nothing special.

It's a shame they decided to go with the multi-verse angle. The first episode felt like the Sonic Cartoon of my dreams, as it closely resembled the game setting. And then it was all downhill from there.

In the first season, the cast constantly changes when Sonic switches dimensions. This kills the engagement, as you continually having to re-acquaint yourself with new characters. It also makes the experience repetitive, as each episode is about Sonic having to prove himself and win the trust of his alternative dimension friends.

It also has a weird flashback gimmick that doesn't tell you anything new about the characters or the plot.

Things get better in the second season as that sticks to the characters we met in the first season. So you are not having to re-acquaint yourself with new characters. But there's no variety. The second season is basically one big action sequence. Sonic just reacts to everything that is thrown at him. The villains bring a good sense of stakes, but they have no real master plan. Likewise, the hero also have no strategy. There's no seed planting that pays off later. It's just like an extended session of the video games.

Like I said, it's decent enough. But with a different approach it could have been so much better.

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.

Its not the sonic i wanted. I watched the first few episodes, then just skipped to the end because I was upset at the characters not being friends. But still wanted to know what happens.

The first episode is nothing like what the rest of the three seasons are. And basically the whole of the three seasons are based around that thing.

Its got sonic underground vibes, at least the first part does. I feel the writers yank me about and don't let good relationships form between the characters. But that is what I watch these shows for. Not for politics, and conflict, but the banter between friends, this is awfully lacking here. Also i don't like knuckles, voice. I mean the voice actor has a cool voice, but I feel it does not fit with the character.

TL:DR - Sonic Prime is a great show for fans, kids, and non-fans. It takes its time to introduce us to all characters without needing a prior experience.

Sonic the Hedgehog has a few TV shows, and each has its charm. However, this one is right now the best for me!

The animation is fluid, lovely, lively, wacky, and wholesome on all levels. I've found only a few instances where it maybe looked a bit strange. Basically small nitpicks.

Models for characters or environment are really nice and detailed. Sonic and his friends aren't much different from their game counterparts. But their alternative-selves, that's when the fun begins. Each has a distinct clothes and personality quirks. They are both similar and different from the ones we know.

Voice acting is spot-on. Every person sounds in character, full of emotions and believable. It may only take a while to get used to, but I don't mind.

The weakest spot is the music. There is some background one, but nothing that would be as memorable or catchy like Sonic X or SatAm Sonic intro. Which is a shame, but nothing that would ruin the experience. The theme is also only a few seconds long.

Action scenes are really fun to watch and none felt like recycled assets from the previous ones. The creators had fun with this one, as some has creative "battle moves" and flow. They weren't kidding about the Marvel-Movie-like action sequences :-D Some looks really epic.

The story is simple in its outline, but I feel it's more complex than it shows in the first 8 episodes. And for a kids' show, it has some dark implications and "side-notes". We visit three alternative worlds where the Dystopia works as a hub, and we will cover the most through the whole series for sure. Jungle and Pirate world get 2 episodes each, which is a good length.

There was enough time to get introduced to old-new characters, get the gist of their world, and to get a "complete" mini-story arc with a satisfying pay-off. Each universe had a focus on a different character, but the others got their spotlight too. I don't doubt we will revisit both worlds in the next episodes. But I also hope we will get one or two new ones for the later parts.

While I may be 30+ I find the humor chuckle-worth most of the time. At worst, I smiled. Sonic is a loveable goof, but can be serious when realizing the situations requires it.

Now to characters themselves. Sonic has flaws, visible ones. That makes him a lot different from Game Sonic or Sonic X, where it was more like "kinda a perfect hog changing others" than a real person learning from his mistakes and realizing his short-sight.

Here, Sonic is influencing others, but also learning from the same people. It's a growth on both sides. This is like with Movie Sonic, who is moving from a carefree kid to a more mature and wiser young-teen across two movies.

The other Prime character is Shadow. He is more mature and like an older-brother to Sonic in this version. This is visible in his first fight with Sonic, when he is visibly less aggressive and tries to reason with Sonic. Albeit he still uses force to do so which backfires. Both needs to learn to speak without spin dashing XD I eagerly await his role in the next episodes as he will lend Sonic his hand (once they can stop punching each other XD).

Some people mentioned jumping a bit back and forth to Sonic's memories is confusing if binge-watching. I do not see it that way. I'm glad they did it, as it allows for the pace to change without it feeling sluggish or weird. Not to mention, we get to see POV's of others and how or why they were there meeting with Sonic.

The pixel-art memories are a cute detail.

I remember watching Sonic boom on Cartoon Network during my youth. I also remember the famous adventures of Sonic the hedgehog on Netflix. I enjoyed these shows, with Sonic and friends going on wacky hijinks to defeat dr. Eggman. There's this new show called Sonic Prime (Which, Ironically is on Netflix) which seemed nice, but I quickly lost interest.

The show starts with our favorite Hedgehog late to join up with his friends for the latest doctor bashing, Eggman finds a crystal (the paradox prism I think they called it?) that can let him rule the world. The thing I like the most about this show is the action scenes, they always feel satisfying when the heroes defeat the robots and move on to the next batch. Especially when it happens in the other dimensions when It doesn't look stale and repetitive.

Then the crystal breaks and Sonic is in a dystopian universe where Eggman has won and either enslaved, mechanized, or ran off everyone but Sonic (Oh, and Eggman has split himself into 5 for some reason), and here when things get a little iffy. They do this cool multiverse thing, but they only show one setting, Green hill zone. I would've killed to see what the other locations in Sonic's world (Marble zone, Labyrinth zone, etc.) would look like in the other dimensions; maybe if they had a bigger budget or more time, I don't know.

Ok, here's my biggest takeaway from this show: they do this thing where they show flashbacks of what happened before the events of the series, but they often show the same events whenever anyone brings it up. Wouldn't it be less time-consuming and monotonous if all the flashbacks were all in one big episode at the beginning? Why do we have to see these events we already know happened?

I gave up after the jungle episode (I don't know what the jungle episode was called though,) because I honestly was too bored to move on with the series. Overall, It's a decent show, but given the choice, I'd rather pick the adventures of Sonic the hedgehog.

My main issue is with the voices. Eggman, most notably, was voiced by a great voice actor until now, not sure why he needed to be recast. Knuckles doesn't sound right too, with a goofy obviously-forced (not natural) deep voice.

Sonic's voice actor does a great job filling Roger Craig Smith's shoes, so no complaints there, at least.

The character designs are good and as you'd expect, and the budget for the animation is clearly vastly higher than it was for Sonic Boom, which is always welcome.

But that hour-long episode model just doesn't work well for a kids show. I watched it with my kids because like any parent I force my childhood upon them (jk, they like Sonic legitimately), but this is too long to keep a kid's attention.

20 minutes per episode like any normal kids show would've made way more sense.

Also as much as people love to hate on Sonic Boom, it was way better packed with bite sized adventures and humor than this. This tries to be too serious, too complicated, and again - episodes are way too long for its own good.

So nobody in my house really enjoyed it or wanted to continue watching after one episode. I'm only rating it this high because it's a decent attempt at doing a Sonic thing.

And while Netflix didn't ruin it with his usual, predictable forced agendas (at least not in the few episodes I saw), it did ruin it by making it not fun or interesting enough.

Kind of like what they did with the Cuphead show. Great concept - not great execution. Hard to tell who this is for, too.

Those few, basic OG Sonic game references will only resonate with long-term Sonic fans, but the show is targeting children... yet it's too complicated and serious, and long, for children to get invested into... Go figure.

I wonder if Netflix even does any screen testing or... at this point, even cares who they're hiring to do the big decisions and write the scripts, direct... I'm starting to see a pattern of disappointing shovel ware productions with a high budget.

The serie revolves around Sonic who's arrogant and act fast without thinking. He had to pay for it. Sonic travel multi-dimensional and find a way back home. In the journey, he makes friends and learn to appreciate memories.

Other than the gorgeous animation, the serie used too many slow-motion scences. The series use multi-dimensional as a lazy way to make content. At the same time feels very random and childish. It also switches back and forth between timeline too many times. Overall, I felt awkward watching it. There wasn't even anything funny too. I'd rather watch Sonic boom SS1 instead. It was way more creative and funnier than this.

Wow just wow i never expected this to be so fun i enjoyed every piece of this. I really like the fluid expressive squash and stretchy look to the animation its making me think why arent the games this well animated the voice acting absolutely loved especially devan mack as sonic he does a fantastic job and ian hanlin as shadow it amazes that half of these people are from the ninjago cast wildbrain you impress me overall i love it and i cant wait for the rest of it to come out with it being 22 episodes another thing i liked was seeing characters like rouge and big the cat froggy come back in the spotlight 10/10 for me.

Familiar with the sonic franschise but not a fan, and this series didnt made me to try play the game either nor to get to know more about the universe. Although i do familiar with most of the characters as well as the prism stones.

The storyline and the progression was a bit odd and boring. The voice castings were awful although they do sounds like as in the classic games. Not a fan of the 3d animation style but then again it fit the sonic franschise due to the nature of the game itself. The scores were bad and the intro wasnt that interesting.

No children would enjoy watching this. It was extremely bad at the beginning, but it pique my interest towards the end of season 1. Very reminiscene of multiverse saga and rightfully adapted from the game itself.

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.

After thirty odd years and dozens of adaptations, we've finally gotten our first "canon" Sonic cartoon in Sonic Prime from Man of Action. What that means is that these versions of Sonic and his friends are very much supposed to be the same ones from the video games, though this doesn't really amount to much and gets a bit awkward early on due to reasons I'll detail soon.

Sonic Prime begins with Eggman discovering the Paradox Prism, a mysterious gem of untold power. Sonic and his friends try to stop Eggman from taking it, but Sonic accidentally shatters it during the scuffle, which causes reality itself to shatter. This leads to the creation of the "shatterverse," a strange void where three alternate shatterspace versions of Green Hill Zone exist: New Yolk (Yoke?) City, a dystopian world conquered by the Chaos council. The Boscage Maze, a massive, out of control jungle. And No Place, a high seas world with very little land.

Sonic bounces between these worlds trying to figure out what happened and how to fix it. The prism is in pieces and one of each resides in a shatterspace, and the only way to undo everything is to find them and put the Paradox Prism back together. Sonic's main obstacle is the five alternate Eggmans (Eggmen?) that make up the Chaos Council and want to use the prism for themselves. He'll also find some trouble running into alternate versions of his friends, who don't know him at all and who he'll end up bumping heads with from time to time. Shadow is also here, having escaped the effects of the prism shattering, serving as a foil and sometimes frenemy to Sonic.

This show's main strength is its animation and action. Prime is probably the best Sonic has ever looked, the characters are impressively expressive, and there are several spectacular action sequences throughout. But this is a double edged sword because there are also too many action sequences, and several episodes feel like they're padded out by one long series of battles. That's because of the show's biggest weakness: the writing. Sonic Prime is incredibly underwritten.

This is most notable with the cast of doppelgangers. All of Sonic's friends are boiled down into generic versions defined by their alternate worlds, where they're either pirates, paranoid scavengers, or hardened rebels. The only exceptions to this are the "main" character of each world like Dread Knuckles and Thorn Rose. Nine is the highlight, but only because "jaded Tails that grew up without Sonic in a dystopia" has fueled fan fiction for decades. Similarly, all the Eggmen on the Chaos Council are similar defined by a single trope. The awkward writing also means that the canon elements of the franchise immediately go out the window once the show digs into its premise. Sonic collects rings early on, but they do nothing and are never mentioned again. Shadow loses his chaos emerald to the "void" in the shatterverse; neither of these things are ever mentioned or relevant again. And for as much fuss as there is about the Paradox Prism, there is zero lore to it. Why was it in Green Hill? What's its purpose? It's eventually treated as a super powerful macguffin like Marvel's infinity stones, but without the comic history, lore and cool powers.

Unfortunately, the writing's problems don't end there. This is an extremely repetitive show. It follows a rigid formula that can often be broken down into pairs of episodes: Sonic is thrust into a new situation and takes way too long to pick up on obvious cues, which inches the thin plot forward. The followup episode is then padded out by multiple, extended fight or action sequences that ends on a cliffhanger, which leaves you wondering, "couldn't this have happened ten minutes sooner?" Because of this, Prime feels longer than it needed to be. It has twenty three episodes broken into three "seasons," which Netflix likes to do to pad out a series without having to bump pay for cast and crew that would typically happen with renewals. Cutting down a lot of the fighting could have gotten this story told in sixteen episodes or less. That, or the writing could have been fleshed out. I would not have minded a few episodes that expanded on what exactly the Paradox Prism is, or deeper backstories to Sonic's alternate friends.

Sonic Prime has almost all the pieces in place to be a top tier Sonic cartoon. It looks good, and the voice cast is pretty good too. Deven Mack does a great job stepping into the blue blur's shoes. Some of the action sequences have great choreography and the humor got some laughs out of me (Sonic shouting "Knuckles..ses!" will stay with me for a while). And while Sega seems to have no clue what to do with Shadow, I liked his inclusion here, and wished he was involved in the story more. The writing just dragged everything down. It's popular to whine about the multiverse concept these days, but I was always on board. I was hoping Sonic would visit at least one of the numerous continuities he's spawned over the years, and considering how much New Yoke City lifts from SatAM, I have to wonder...

There is enough potential here that if I could have one wish after watching Sonic Prime, it's that this team gets another crack at a Sonic show. Hopefully with better writing.

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 though the first season of Sonic Prime took way too much time setting up its world and characters, and that's really all it does. Luckily season 2 picks it up and really starts moving, both with the story and the characters. Although season 1's long setup was kind of necessary to have season 2 move how it did, I still think it hurts season 1 overall. Season 3 was interesting, but at times really felt like they were stretching the final battle to fill all 7 episodes. So I would describe watching Sonic Prime as a little tedious but overall enjoyable.

These versions of the classic characters were fun to watch, although at first I wasn't really on board with them. By far the most interesting was Nine. Tails is my favorite Sonic character, so I was bummed at first that he was replaced with this more serious version. But after learning about Nine and why he was the way that he was I found myself fully invested anytime he was on screen. The rest of the characters are alright, but more definitely could have been done to make them as interesting as Nine. The Chaos Council for example is more or less just five tropes/stereotypes and not five unique characters with individual goals and ambitions.

I think your enjoyment of Sonic Prime will rely heavily on whether or not you are a Sonic fan, and if you have a lot of patience. The biggest issues for me were the slow start in season 1, the drawn out repetitive battles, and a lot of the characters not being that interesting. The biggest strengths for me were the art style and facial expressions, Nine, the diversity of locations, and the creativity with the Sonic cast and lore. If you are a Sonic fan, I would recommend giving Sonic Prime a try.

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.

Yes I am an adult, and yes I for some reason was bored enough to watch this show. And it was surprisingly fantastic. I'm not much of a Sonic fan, I've just watched the live action movies and dabbled a bit in the franchise as a kid, but this show was still very entertaining.

It explores Sonic and the series' characters in alternate realities, basically like Marvel's multiverse except with Sonic the Hedgehog, and it's called the "Shatterverse". It's honestly great, I got serious cyberpunk vibes from the first world Sonic lands in; it's my favorite world so far. Dystopian, steampunk, overall very nice. And Tails in this world is crafty and edgy, but in a good way.

The animation is great, no surprise there. Sean (also known as Jacksepticeye) did a fantastic cameo which I didn't even recognize was him until I read the cast list, just goes to show how good the voice acting is.

I'm not sure how other Sonic shows have been like, but this one has actual story progression and no filler episodes.

What more is there to say? Great story, great animation, and a great cast. Can't wait for season 2.

You can really tell by the end of the first season that the writers really care about the source material. The character designs are well done and full of life; the animation is simple, but it shines where it needs to shine, and has some pretty great texture work and VFX. The writing is pretty interesting and the way that the story develops really builds up this whole adventure. I thought it was pretty clever and full of heart as well, I found myself laughing at a couple of the jokes and had a pretty great time watching it. This has a ton of potential for the future, hopefully it gets more episodes, but I'm interested!
