Description
Oh God, where do I start with this insult to intellect?Sonic X is one anime where I will fully admit that it's much better in its original unedited and uncrapified Japanese version. It might be a bitch looking for episodes with English subtitles, but trust me.
Having your ears raped by Cream's nails-on-a-chalkboard voice will be incentive enough. x____e;
I blame 4kids entirely for the epic fails seen in this anime. I can understand the need for SOME censorship, since the Japanese are a lot more lax about swear words in children's television than we are.
BUT, they took it WAY too far. :/
Any of you remember that beautiful song in the episode "Memories on the Wind"? (forgive me if I messed that up, I remember it's something like that). When Amy spots Super Sonic flying through the sky after months of absence from him and runs to her house to meet him, and when she gets there, admits that she'll wait forever for him an they come damn close to a love scene? (seriously, Sonic even gave her a rose)
If you watched the ENGLISH version, you wouldn't know what in the world i'm talking about. xD
Because 4kids, for some reason, decided that the BEAUTIFUL Japanese song should be cut out, the scene should be dramatically shortened, hell they even cut out the sign that said it was Amy's House! That, I have NO idea why. D:
But I digress, on a character I actually can't stand too. xD Just try to find the Japanese version of that episode and you'll understand how much better it is.
Because 4kids fucked up a LOT more than just that in this thing. :/
First off, the voices. Oh God, the voices. Few were actual improvements, like Espio, Blaze, Charmy, Knuckles, and Eggman (they had no choice with him). The rest? Barely tolerable.
Rouge sounds like a 40-year-old smoker hooker, instead of the lovely flirtacious voice she had before.
Amy sounds even more annoying than before, because 4kis made it possible.
Sonic sounds like he's going through PUBERTY all over again. (I MISS YOU RYAN DRUMMOND!)
Shadow's turned into this emo whisperer ghost version of himself. Sometimes I feel like he's going to start writing dark poetry on a spontaneous whim halfway through a level or something. >__>;
Vector sounds mentally retarded. FIND DAH COMPUTER ROOM!
Tails..he sounded a lot better in Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. He was voiced by an actual BOY then. xD
Well, that covers my issue with 4kids voice actors. Let's move on to the REALLY intolerable element of this show. The thing that made a part of me die inside from sheer implosion of intellectual thought.
Chris Thorndyke
I still don't understand what makes him so special. He's a sad lonely little boy who's only purpose on the entire show is to replace Tails' rightful place as Sonic's best friend. Other than that? Sonic probably saves him just as much as Amy Rose, and I don't see that as something to be proud of.
He whines, he cries, and he makes Amy that much more tolerable. In fact, he even took AMY's place in the SA2B storyline as the one who trigers Shadow's full memory. That was a 'What the hell!' moment for me. :/
I don't like him. Plain and simple. xD
ONE MORE THING TO COVER. This is getting longer than I expected. Whew. xD
The characters got fucked up a little too.
-Shadow appearing, then disappearing, then appearing again and then disappearing AGAIN. Since when did he become Houdini? >__>;;
-Knuckles was even more aggravated than usual. Like he was constantly constipated. D:
-Cosmo. She was sweet, but horrifically predictable. I knew from the get-go she was going to be some kind of spy for the Metarex. Why else would she stick around so long? :/
-Sonic. I only say this, because of that brief moment of Dark Super Sonic. THAT was impressive and I REALLY would have loved to see Sonic do some real carnage there. But that would probably damage little children's minds and tempt them into shooting people or thinking they can fly. D:
Well, I think i'm gonna cut off there. xD If you like, comment me with your opinions! I haven't watched Sonic X in quite some time, so I bet you all could give examples I haven't thought about yet. xDD
Sonic X doesn't belong to me. It belongs to 4kids. Devil company. >/ It also belongs to Sega. Because I guess people will go around reporting people if they get credits a teensy-bit wrong. :/

They cut out a LOT from the Japanese version, and i'm sure most of it was completely unnecessary. What's the harm in letting us see how Shadow accurately defeated Knuckles? The entire episode was him being violent (and we're all well aware that he is the most violent character in the franchise), so it's not like they could cut it ALL out.
If I remember correctly, they also edited out Molly's grave. What, were we expected to think maybe she survived somehow?
Just, ugh. 4kids edited it into a show for little kids, and gave us older fans the middle finger.

yeah they did! they did edit molly's grave out, but they forgot to remove the shadow of it XD they way Shadow defeated Knuckles wasn't that bad either, it didn't show any blood in the jap version, so why cut it out? ugh 4Kids can go to hell! They should've kept all episodes the same as the jap versions, kids nowadays suffer more harm from watching reality tv rather than cartoons. Cartoons no longer have a lot of violence in them! gahh! we turned out just fine! what makes the next generation any different? -.- grrr

Well, despite the fact that Roger voice Chris Redfield in RE5, he did fairly well as Sonic, they just need to cut back on one liners a little. But thats my opinion.

As long as he doesn't sound like a hedgehog suffering through perpetual puberty, he's a step up from Jason. And that's definite improvement.

yep. Also, the entire sonic cast has gotten new voices except Eggman.
Amy sounds completely different and I personaly dont her new voice.
Rouge actualy sounds like her Sonic Heroes voice but slightly more mature.

I watched the English version... Mainly because Japanese isn't a nice sound to my ears, simply put.
However, I have read enough about it to know that it messed up the characters somewhat as well... Tails might even be closer to his character in the games in the English version of Sonic X than the Japanese version. Can't stand the sound of Japanese, though, so I'm not completely sure, I'm only going by events that happened.
He's still quite a ways off from his original character anyway, though.

I actually prefer Japanese because they put a lot more emotion in their lines, but to each their own.
Really? I haven't seen enough to make a comparison, but it doesn't surprise me. Sonic X is terrible, no matter the language. Dx

You are correct my friend! This show was $&@"#% from the beginning I mean if you check both Japanese (which was a LOT better) and American you would see that the &$@#% story was never ended correctly.... I mean why does always a girl must die!!! The should kill cream and her annoying voice!!!!
But the English voice is nothing to compare how annoying are the voice in the Latin American version. That really piss me off!! And besides now days all cartoons have guys shooting weapins.... And really what is wrong in saying I love you in a cartoon?!?!?!??!!!!!
