Even though the animation is usually shoddy and the writing is juvenile, I think this might be Sonic's best incarnation.
In particular, I like how Robotnik will account for Sonic's ability to run fast, and Sonic will have to use his wits to get out of traps.

The animation is better than people give it credit for. It's not expensive, but it's expressive, vibrant, and cartoony. Some episodes look better than others, of course.
>Even though the animation is usually shoddy and the writing is juvenile

Very much disagreed, it nailed the Felix the Cat vibe it was intentionally aiming for
>the writing is juvenile
Were you alive in 93? It was very much the tone of the time.
Indeed. The show was usually played right before or right after school on weekdays. It was usually aired right after shows like 'The Pink Panther Show', 'Stunt Dawgs', or 'Garfield and Friends', which are all similar in look and tone.

i love this shit, lol
Speaking purely from the perspective of a Sonic games autist, it gets the colorful vibrant...vibe right. But that is all, and even then it does it in the wrong way. It is not colorful and vibrant in a way that says "heart" like the games, it is colorful and vibrant in a way that says "90s RANDOM SHIT" like generation 2 Transformers.
And aside from that, it misses what the games had in a fairly simple and child friendly but still heartfelt lore. The games weren't "lets make an ass out of this fat guy cause it will be funny" the games were "this scenario is silly, but still...this is serious shit, we have to save the animals from this fat evil fuck or else all hope is lost"
But that's what Classic is depicted as now
>And aside from that, it misses what the games had in a fairly simple and child friendly but still heartfelt lore.
It looks like you're trying to find something in the show that was never meant to be there.
The show was made to be funny, simple as that, and it succeeded there.
I love both Sonic shows, but never liked the games very much. The vibe of the games is too kiddy and cutesy poo for my tastes. It's bland in a little kid anime kind of way.
Your entire post can practically be resumed to "Not Muh Sanic!111!!".
Please, back to /sthg/, if you may.

Uhhh. No, considering Sonic SATAM existed, just no. Why don't you fuck off considering you're not even a Sonic fan you fucking poseur. I watched both shows, I even watched Sonic fucking Underground, and I played every game and read the comics in the 90's.
Cartoons and comics? Check, you fuck off.

I don't really get that though if you loved both shows....so what, you just hate Japanese designs or something? Because really, the two shows are kind of taking the two sides of the video games and separating them to two extremes, bright and cartoony but in a dumb retarded way and melodramatic and rebellion based super hero esque but in a kind of drab way.
SATAM was closer to the spirit of the games, but AOSTH was closer to the look and vibe, the perfect Sonic show would have had a bit of both, but in both cases been done in a slightly different way. Plus, the games had some more intimidating shit than SATAM or the comics had...Mecha Sonic anyone? The villains in SATAM in all fairness looked like rejects from Tailspin.
>so what, you just hate Japanese designs or something
Nah, it was just the age I was at. I was 12 or 13 when I saw the shows so they were closer to what I wanted at the time. The games seemed closer to something for younger children. That's how I felt about it at the time, anyway.
You're right that they were more like something like TaleSpin or some other Disney show, though. That probably helps me out though since I was huge into Disney's TV cartoons in the early 90s.
You could have taken the opportunity to brush off the mentality I pointed out and instead laid down real arguments for either liking or disliking a show.
But no. Instead, you just reinforced it even worse with ad-homimem and made-up obsessed assumptions. Wonderful job.
AOSTH was a lot closer to the spirit of the games. Look at Sonic X and Man of the Year.
>SATAM was closer to the spirit of the games,
Nigga what? Aside from "Sonic stops Eggman from fucking shit up", Satam is just a generic fantasy furry drama with Sonic and Tails plastered on there. AOSTH had Sonic and Tails fuck around Mobius while having to deal with Eggmans schemes. Which is what the genesis game where. Hell, Forces is Sega's attempts to do Satam's premise and you can see how that went.
or td:dr
Fuck off Satamfag.
>like the games
>it misses what the games
>The games weren't
>the games were
Just stick to the games. It's obvious you won't be ever satisfied with any of the Sonic comics and cartoons.
*ruins your cartoon's reputation*
>if I act like an asshole, people should take the high road
No fuck you it doesn't work that way
Looking back that might be fair honestly, considering you had to play the games to actually get any of the depth that was in them, if you just looked at the box art I'm sure it seemed no different than Super Mario or something vacuous like that.
>Hell, Forces is Sega's attempts to do Satam's premise and you can see how that went.
How much longer are people going to push this blatantly false premise made up for nothing except fooling others?

You obviously never played the games. The games never had any element of comedy aside from Knuckled punching the shit out of you to interrupt your progression through the adventure.
And that is the key word, adventure, the original Sonic games were one. It wasn't fucking Bubsy. AOTSH was Bubsy. I didn't like Bubsy games, I liked Sonic games.
AOSTH > X
Why do people constantly put the shows against each other rather than just appreciating that you had 2 Sonic cartoons that were completely different?
Sonic Underground tried to be both shows at once and failed miserably
Ugh, fuck the Heroes models and fuck Iizuka for reusing them in the 2005 Shadow game. The Adventure 2 models were perfection, yet we never saw them again
This show needs a revival.
Too many people looking for a fight because they can't deal with others opinions.
I'd like to be able to say I felt SatAM just didn't feel all that good because Sonic himself felt so tacked on compared to everything else in it, but obviously somebody will disagree with me so strongly that they've got to respond to me in a challenging way.
>fuck the Heroes models and fuck Iizuka for reusing them in the 2005 Shadow game
If you visit the Model Resource website and download the Heroes and Shadow models, you can see they're not the same models at all.
Shockingly, the Shadow game models have LESS polygons than the Heroes models.
>Oh please, something is rotten in Topeka... wherever that is.
What happened to cluck?
Weird. I did notice the Shadow game models look more bouncy, like they're made out of rubber. Either way, i don't like either game's models ( still better than the ones in that 2006 reboot )
How many polygons does the Heroes and Shadow models have ? I'm trying to download them, yet i can't get the number of polygons anywhere
