Sonic Boom - The new Sonic cartoon

Apparently, Sanzaru has learned from (at least one of) their mistakes. Levels are now quicker and streamlined, with you only having to complete the level once to progress instead of having to comb over the level several different times to find Plot Coupons in order to advance. Collectibles are now entirely optional to collect too. See? They're learning!

Already proof it's going to be better. That removed any worries pretty fast.

Then again, that may be all talk.

SEGA KNOWS ABOUT SONICHU

All creators usually know about fan characters in the end.

I bring this topic back from the grave to deliver wonderful news!

The hiatus seems to be over! Cartoon Network is (most likely) airing new Boom episodes daily at noon EST starting July 13th, with follow-up previous episodes at 12:30!

This hopefully means that with the ratings it gets, Season 2 will more likely become a reality.

I just read the other day that there was no hiatus in France, and the United Kingdom has already gotten a few new English-dubbed episodes. Quite a change from 2014, huh?

Apparently, The American branch wants people to forget it ever existed.

Also, read on the same page about a "Boom" version of "Dash". Please dear God, if this is true, add their versions of Blaze and Shadow!

I swear, whenever I see comments like these, it makes me want to burn a Sonicon.

Sooner Metal Sonic than Blaze.

Also apparently Boom's versions of Chaos are introduced.◊ ...Or are they Wisps?

They are apparently spirits. So yeah, Boom whisps.

Why didn't anyone tell me there was a new episode released in France/Japan?

I just did!

So how long did the show last at 11:30 before it was consigned to the nethers again?

One week.

For real?

Bizzare. It almost feels like there's someone at CN who sneakily tries to get the show more recognition before the higher ups realize what they've done. I'm pretty sure TV scheduling doesn't work like that, but like I said, it's weird.

Well, at least we're getting new episodes daily now.

And yes, I'm aware that to some people, that's considered "burning off" all of their reserve episodes, but I'm just happy to see the hiatus end.

Going the Ninjago route, huh? The old Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated treatment?

Ah well. To be honest, since individual episodes don't usually stand out much to me, I feel like I get more enjoyment out of the show when I can watch several new episodes in a row instead of just one.

At least it's better than going digital only, am I right, Korra fans?

Turns out the storm of new Boom episodes is only on weekdays and for two weeks. On August 1st, new episodes on Saturdays will become the norm again. This means ten weeks' worth of hilarity in July.

Also, after the daily new episodes, France and the US will have the same number of premiered Boom episodes for the first time since the show premiered, even airing episode 37 on the same day (again, August 1st). CN's playing catch-up!

Those dirty, careless bastards. But at least this gives the viewers who could not wake up at 7-5 a way to get to see the series for themselves at a more reasonable time.

Looks like we're finally going to see the episodes where Sticks crosses a cross-eyed moose, and the one where Knuckles meets his smarter alternate self.

I'm surprised at how long it's taken to get to those episodes, given that audio clips from those episodes were released before the show aired.

Wait, when was this.

There's actually an episode where Knuckles meets a smarter version of himself?

-yay!-

I kind of figured there would be. Knuckles' intelligence hasn't really come up on the show as more than a Running Gag.

I don't know how he could get any smarter than that!

As "Adventure" fans would have you believe, Knuckles was a lot brighter during his debut.
