QuoteSonic the Hedgehog, the iconic video game character who has brought his trademark speed and attitude to four TV series and more than 70 video games, is returning to television in his first-ever CG animated series in the fall 2014. The action packed comedy series aimed at children 6-11 will debut first on Cartoon Network in the U.S. and on CANAL J and GULLI in France, with a global rollout to follow. The initial order of 52 eleven-minute episodes is co-produced by SEGA of America Inc. and Genao Productions.
Sonic Boom is a character-driven comedy that leaves a trail of robot wreckage in its smoldering wake. The series centers on Sonic, his best friend and sidekick, Tails, their never-ending search for adventure, and their battles with Sonic's arch-nemesis, Dr. Eggman. Rounding out the ensemble are fan favorites Knuckles and Amy Rose, plus a rogue's gallery of enemies—some familiar to Sonic fans and some brand-new.

why
THIS IS GONNA SUCK
most likely, but i'm still curious about it. i'm also kind of surprised by it. there aren't many video game to cartoon adaptations anymore. the most recent one i can think of is that terrible pac-man one
Heard about that a few times now, I'll probably watch the first few episodes to see if it's good.
Whenever I hear the title though, I think about:

they also have that new rabbids tv show
dunno how good it is, though
probably annoying as fuck
it is annoying as fuck. Even more so than you can imagine.
When I came here, I thought that title was code for Sailor Moon...
if its aimed at 11 year old kids then i dont see why anyone would expect it to be good anyways.
if its a sonic cartoon i dont know why people would expect it to be good anyways.
i don't think anyone is expecting it to be good. i'm morbidly curious about it.
but cartoons aimed at children can still be intelligent and enjoyable to watch for people of any age. whether or not the writers choose to do that is another thing.
if its aimed at 11 year olds, maybe 11 year olds would think it was good?? ?? ? ?? ?? ??? ?? ?? ?
11 year olds have a very high tolerance for what classifies as entertainment. the annoying orange being a tv show is a testament to that

I assume you're referring purely to the Occident, but has there ever been a good Western adaptation of a Japanese franchise?

i am, that's why i didn't say anime. and to answer your question, not to my knowledge, no.
Sorry I must have an automatic wordfilter in my head that reads "cartoons" as "Chinese cartoons".
And I mean if we're including stuff from Europe I guess Wakfu counts.
wasn't wakfu made to basically promote the game though? like that is the reason it exists, not because the game was popular and would do well on tv or anything
I wouldn't know but you're probably right.
so are people here still interested in this or...?
cause i recently saw the new designs + some clips, and tumblr is going fucking bonkers over it all right now.
i still can't get over some of the design changes... the fucking bindings on his shoes make no sense.

but i'm still giving a little hope that this may turn out half decent for a bit.
this clip is my favorite as of now...
SONIC BOOM - Intro Cutscene (English) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O3a7s2ERo8#ws)
i don't mind the bindings and scarf so much because of the desert theme, however knuckles design really bothers me. he looks like one of those "skipped leg day" swolebros.
i will still watch the show, it could end up being good. i hope they don't get too tied up in the target demographic.
oh yea.. i completely forgot about knuckles...

I do not like these new VAs. At all.
I still think sonic was at its best in regards to narrative when that some slightly more serious overtones though (aka adventure 2). At least then it felt like it was something original
on the real, i think sonic looks much better with blue arms and I'm interested to see how this reboot turns out
lol @ all these apologetic Sonic fans trying to salvage a series that just keeps getting fucked up year after year and was never even that good in the first place
hey man dont you talk about big red button that way, they made the jak & daxter games, do you want 2 fuck1ng fite me bro???

sonic the hedgehog 2 suckered everyone in with its flashy presentation and broad cast of characters and unapologetically cast aside gameplay for graphics- not to mention sonic team pulled a fast one and put all time and effort into day one dlc

^best version of the sonic universe
everyone keeps talking about sonic adventure 2, when imo sonic battle was probably the best
ALSO
Colosseum (Sonic Battle) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_91mUL6SYwc#)
(best sonic theme putting aside pumpkin hill)
i don't think sonic adventure 2 was the best sonic game, it had some really boring shit in it. especially tails stuck in a fucking robot.
the best sonic game for me was sonic & knuckles. the best 3d sonic game is sonic generations.
sonic adventure is great, but it hasn't aged well unfortunately.
I kinda liked the story of Sonic Heroes. Actually, I liked the plot quite a lot, I mean the game was shit and had shit gameplay but the ending was cool as fuck.
Also if this turns out to be a dud as so many other Sonic cartoons, I'll probably just watch every episode of Sonic The Hedgehog (the one with the freedom fighters) again. That cartoon probably still has one of the best stories as far as kids cartoons go.
And then I will get really mad at the ending again.
Certain parts of Sonic Adventure 2 were bad but I really enjoyed some of the level designs. Also, Chao garden. I wish they'd bring that back.

I usually enjoy fighters designed like Sonic Battle but the campaign was way too much of a boring grind fest and incredibly unfair at some points.
i am amazed how unbelievably bad sonic adventure has held up over time, i went back and played through it the other day, almost none of it is redeeming whatsoever, but i remember loving it ~10 years ago.
Im actually sorta excited for this though, which is more than i can say for any sonic game since sonic 06, the gameplay looks actually not broken for once.
The only one I enjoyed playing through recently was sonic advance 2, and that was just hold right to win
we were so easy to please back then

^^^ I defiantly agree here. I recently had a moment where I downloaded the DC version of SA (by no means a fan of the DX version) and played on the big screen, defiantly aged but its more nostalgia than anything. I can't help but to love the original Sonic adventure, especially in 1080p.
Sonic Boom on the other hand seems alright. Knuckles height throws me off more than anything, good thing they made him look like the strong guy in the group. I do miss the boxer gloves though. I can't wait to see how the game turns out.
Do i know you?
It can't possibly be worse than Sonic 06. I welcome new designs and gameplay perspectives, especially after hearing that the fellow who directed the jak and daxter games is heading the development. Those were some fun games.
also obligatory sonic avatar, FROM A GOOD GAME.
silver the hedgehog was my favorite hedgehog
