Think we're about due to give an anime a try again?

Yeah, Sonic X has been done for almost 20 years. (GEEZ! Show of hands, who feels old?)

I think we're more than due for a new anime. I highly recommend from either Studio Trigger or Science Saru.

I'd be down but NO CHRIS

It depends. The weird secret agent butler dude, the obnoxious heavyset maid, and the introduction of a child companion to the cast weren't my preferred decisions.

If they'd do something in the vein of the Sonic CD opening - that art style, an adventure story rather than a sitcom, and iconic characters - I'd be all for it.

Yeah, I think we're also ready for a shake-up on how it handles human/animal population. A new anime would be great to really show what TailsTube established, namely that animals primarily live in islands while humans live mostly in big cities.

EDIT: Page topper...

For Sonic’s Birthday, Classic and modern Sonic grab some ice cream from that one ice cream vendor from Unleashed.

Apologies if this has been shared before.

Youtuber Chaomix has done an 18-minute video on how Sonic discourse in the 2010s afected the franchise and its perception. In particular, he looks at how irony poisoning (@9:48) made sincere discussion of Sonic difficult.

[up] Tragically, that video is accurate. I remember how ruthless Sonic criticism was back then. Irony had definitely poisoned the internet and we are still feeling the effects.

Even this thread wasn't safe. I remember my early days here, and you couldn't say anything without someone giving a "well ackshually" dissertation and acting mad when you didn't care for it.

To be clear, I DON'T care for the "well acktshually" comments. I like my Sonic games, the way I like them, Sonic Heroes and all.

I’m going to to need a summary before I watch a “the games from this period of time destroyed the franchise” video tbh. Been burned by way too many of those.

[up]The video is criticizing the discourse about the games during the 2010s, not the games themselves.

Lies, Sonic stopped being good when the Sega Genesis released.

Sonic hasn't been good since the founding of Standard Games in 1940.

Ok, the joke has gone far enough. XD

But yeah, guess I was lucky to have only enjoyed most of Sonic on my own without much of the Internet discourse affecting me.

FWIW Chaomix does some interesting videos and is pretty invested in discussing various aspects of Sonic lore. Rather than talk about how to make Tails work in 3D gameplay or how Sonic games reward skilled gameplay with higher paths, he asks the real questions like

...how people actually live in City Escape?

    as well as 

...how much property damage Sonic caused in that city?

The full lore of Project Shadow and the Space Colony ARK, and an additional video adding in the lore like Emerl and the updates post-Sonic Adventure 2.

...what if people discussed the Mario games like Sonic games?

Happy 33rd Birthday Sonic! Man, I can't believe that Sonic is 33 years old at this point!

In regards to Chaomix, should we make a thread about Chaomix in the New Media forums, since the channel has over 100K subscribers?

I think so. He's got a lot of subscribers and made a lot of videos (including some I'd come across in the past, going off a brief look through his channel).
