User blog:WaterKirby1994/The Problems with Sonic X

Ok we all know Sonic X has been over for more than a decade, although it did explain the Sonic Adventure games taking place on Earth which was good. There were however problems that originated in the Japanese version, which led to the series not being able to be as good as it could have been, this blog hopes to address them. We are all aware that the series had been Americanized from the start which may have led to it not being popular enough in Japan. Season 2 made the mistake of rushing the series to a conclusion.

By Americanization you can tell rather easily that most of the setting takes place in the United States just by looking at the humans in the series. Japanese kids could tell just from the scenes where Chris is at school, that it was different from most anime. Sonic X made Chris too focused on as a character, which would be a huge problem of the series, as he would steal Amy's lines in Adventure 2 & prove to be hard to relate to. Chris was randomly thrown into Season 3, with the Master Emerald randomly making him 12 again.

Sonic X Season 2 was notable for rushing through the games stories. It could have easily enough stretched the Adventure Games to fill 26 episodes rather than 12 by means of filler. The Emerl Saga could have been stretched out as well to avoid the final 4 episodes. These last 4 episodes that were meant to finish Sonic X were notable for having the human characters age 6 years at the end, which limited future options for series. Season 3 was able to do great though, despite the series being ended before it started.

What do you guys think of the series? What aspects do you think it did well? What didn't you like about the series (other than Chris)? What would you have done differently? Would you have wanted the series to have more to it by means of filler or a 4th Season? What would you guys have wanted to see from a 4th Season?
