Okay. This is kinda hypocritical for me considering I don't read reviews myself, but I thought I'd throw in my two cents. After watching the third and fourth episode of the show, I'm kinda impressed so far. The show is pretty funny with some good lines at times (though some of the comedy tends to get a bit cheesy), though I do think that they could add a little more action to it. Like for example, the "fight" with Buster in episode 4 was pretty lame as Sonic and the gang were practically useless. I know this is supposed to be a comedy series, but there's nothing wrong with having some intense action from time to time.
Now for the character redesigns. At first, I was a bit taken aback by them, but after a while, I started getting used to them. Particularly Sonic, Tails, and Amy as they don't look that altered. Admittedly though, it's still taking a while for me to get used to Knuckles's design as I prefer seeing him as the Pintsized Powerhouse in the mainstream games. But while I'm not up in arms about Knuckle's new design, I am a bit upset at his new personality. While it's nice to see Knuckles get in on more of the action, I do not like that they made him a meathead. You don't need to make a character a total dumbass to make him likeable. (I'm looking at you, Omniverse)
And then there's the intro. While the intro as a whole is pretty cool, the same cannot be said for the music. Now Sonic is widely recognized for its badass music over the years, so I think that the intro music could have been so much more than a 17 second Instrumental Theme Tune. Instead, they should have done something like, oh I dunno, use the Sonic Boom song from Sonic CD. That would have been perfect. But it's just a minor thing and I'll probably get used to it.
Finally, Sticks the Badger. While I think she's pretty funny due to her paranoia and I find her to be the source of much of the humor in the show, I kinda prefer Marine the Raccoon better. Marine was annoying, but she was cute and annoying. Sticks... is a little too crazy in the head to be cute. But, who knows? She might grow on me as the show goes on.
Overall, The show's pretty cool and while it does have its faults... it's much better than Rise of Lyric.
Pretty Funny So Far. Could Use Some Work Though.
