Sonic X

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 69.231.241.94 (talk) at 18:40, 4 August 2005. The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Sonic X is the newest Sonic the Hedgehog animated series, based roughly on the storylines of Sonic Adventure series.

It was animated and produced in Japan by TMS Entertainment with the partnership of Sega and the Sonic Team. In 2003, 4Kids Entertainment licensed Sonic X for American television broadcasting and is currently airing on 4Kids TV, formerly the Fox Box. The U.S. licensing is a joint effort between 4Kids and ShoPro Entertainment. It is also showed in Europe, Australia and Japan by Jetix. Originally planned as a 52 episode series which would be inspired by the storylines of the Sonic Adventure series, Sonic X has now expanded to 78 episodes which was shown in Thailand and France in January 2005.

The 4Kids version of Sonic X has been criticized for editing out portions and re-wording certain phrases to make it more kid friendly (This also applies to other 4Kids dubs), and even rejecting Sonic's English game voice actor Ryan Drummond who wanted to voice for Sonic in the anime. 4Kids rejected him simply because he didn't live in New York City, which is the location of the production studio. Ironically, the Japanese version has the original Japanese seiyu from the Sonic Adventure series, as well as direct quotes from the games, which were almost all changed in the 4Kids version. Even Sonic Adventure 2's theme song, "Live and Learn" which was in Episode 38, was gone. This infuriated many Sonic X fans as well as general Sonic and anime fans which is why they prefer the unedited Japanese version.

E-Series robots

Note: Some of the E-Series have no codenames stated in the Japanese version of Sonic X. The names given to E-11, E-14, E-23, E-43, E-47, and E-90 in the American dub by 4Kids are the closest one can get for a name until the official source for the Japanese codenames reveals the original names.

  • E-21 Ballios: These baseball-playing robots make up Dr. Eggman's "Eggs Team" when a Chaos Emerald is discovered Diamond Stadium. Seen in Episode 10.

  • E-51 Intelligente (pronounced In-tella-hen-tay): He takes over Chris's class as the new teacher and enjoys teaching the children. He refuses to follow Dr. Eggman's orders until Eggman shows up in person, threatening to dismantle him. Seen in Episode 6.

Quoted from Dr. Eggman in the Japanese version of Sonic X, "Sometimes she’s a driver, sometimes she’s a female guard, and sometimes she’s a sexy dancer... but her true identity is E-91, Ku-no-i-chi!". This, incidently is reffrence to the anime sereis Cutie Honey where Honey's speach was almost exactly like that (Sexy Dancer included!). On a side note, Ku-no-i-chi's name is roughly translated out to "Lady Ninja." Seen in Episode 17.
  • E-99 Eggsterminator: A highly massive E-Series robot that is a re-formation of the Egg Fort 2. Using the power of the Chaos Emeralds, he is able to move faster than Sonic himself. He eventually went out of Eggman's control and started brutally attacking Sonic. Ultimately, E-99 was destroyed by Super Sonic. He is certainly a very worthy opponent. Seen in Episode 26. (Note: In the Japanese version, E-99's codename is "Egg Emperor." This name clashes with the final boss of the individual teams' stories in Sonic Heroes. The name "Eggsterminator" is used because it was the name given in the dub.)
