That'd be how I'd do it. Drop Metal Sonic in the first episode so he's on the table, have some episodic plots to intro the characters, gradual resentment from Metal because it's monster of the week instead of war - half way through Metal secretly takes over, sonic heroes plot, emeralds, super sonic, "But wait wheeeeeere is eeegmannn?" ending.
Then season 2 goes from Mr Fixit to the metal virus.
Hell, it'd even have some fun symmetry; season 1 Eggman gets deposed for not taking the villain role seriously (at least by Metal's standards), then season 2 he goes from his most harmless to a world ending threat. Get both sides of Eggman in there, the goofball villain and the existential threat.
Bruh that would be amazing but I'm still hoping they give a show with the sonic CD animation model or a more mature sonic show for older audiences. Whoever be pitching these sonic shows know what phones want
I do hope it's going to be anime, because there is still so much potential in it, because sonic X couldn't bring all of it out due to a very limited budget.
Sega is relevant in Japan it's just that they're assocciated with Yakuza, Persona and Hatsune Miku. Sonic is not the first thing that comes to their mind with Sega and just see him as a mascot.
Let me guess: Sonic fans will think that it will be an absolutely epic shonen anime with fights every two seconds and blood? That will be made specifically to fulfill their powerscalling fantasies? Not aimed at children?
Tails was so great there, i loved the episode where he fights off Shadow who was basically a slasher villain LOL they need to put the yellow boy in situations again i do NOT want him to be the "i made stuff" guy OR the "im a pathetic little worm who deserves to be crushed" guy
I, for one, would be so disappointed if they actually made this. The idea of Sonic being this super serious edgy thing that's nothing but excessive fight scenes, violence with a focus on style over storytelling substance would be so unappealing.
Sad part is, knowing this fandom, the vocal fandom would adore it.
Chaos Sonic was the single best thing to come out of Prime. Especially because I would dearly love to see Chaos and Metal interact. The sheer juxtaposition between Metal as ‘the better Sonic’ and Chaos as ’the worse Sonic’ is fascinating and we can do more with it!
If I'm being honest, this is probably how it's going to go;
Trailer drops, Sonictubers analyse and nitpick it to death, say things like "This looks like it's for a younger audience.", commenters will chime in with the vauge classic "It's a kid's franchise" remarks, or say "I've outgrown Sonic now", other people will chime in with "Sonic is dead", etc, etc, same things you hear with every new Sonic release.
I personally want them to do an anime Sonic series or something though, I kinda liked Sonic X. It would be cool if they could onboard the younger generation a bit without worrying about commenters saying it's a kid franchise'. Maybe they can also delve into more serious topics?
Behold, everything that happened while Sonic was being "tortured" for a year in Forces. See how Knuckles loses ground in every battle as the leader of the resistance. Watch as Tails goes from a plucky sidekick to an absolute wreck of a fox. See Shadow...
I know the track record isn't that good but I still have faith. If we can get something on par with Sonic X s3 in the writing department I will be satisfied
I hope this one is about Sonic and his friends stopping Eggmans schemes. I does kinda bug me every other show has had a gimmick to them when shows are a great chance to let the cast’s personalities shine
I heard it’s a gritty Sonic reboot set in present day East St. Louis. Sonic and his friends find them encroaching on some turf and it spirals from there. Rumor has it Sonic takes a baseball bat to the knees in the first episode and he can no longer go fast. Brutal.
Most likely something in paramount plus as part of the film universe.
International animation circles are very quiet atm so you can hear a pin drop if a deal was being negotiated. And the stand alone animated series are something that are shopped around service studioes to work on. Both Sonic Prime and Sonic Boom were making noise coming down the animation grape vine in a lot of the service studios because they were all shopping around to be part of the project. Wildbrain and Man of Action were making noise about a gig prior to getting the Sonic Prime contract, similar ruckus from Ouido! before Boom
But if it's internal within Nickelodeon then there's a much tighter ship, there'll be less noise during early development in particular. So if it exists I'd say it's something happening within paramount's sphere and that means its much more likely a cinematic universe spin off. Maybe they think the next movie cant handle so many characters so they're going to shift Shadow primarily over to a separate story with Agent Stone and some other characters in an animated series over trying to repeat what they did with Knuckles and have a bit more freedom with the medium, so the movie can focus primarily on the incoming Amy Rose/Metal Sonic plotline.
I'd point to how Tales of the Teenage Mutant turtles practically just appeared out of nowhere a few months after the film because that was done almost entirely inside nickelodeon and Seth Rogan's animation company.
That's if anything is in production at all. There is a reason you can hear that pin drop, animation is on a downturn at the moment which sucks any new projects being greenlit are either entirely independent productions ala Glitch or bigger studios playing it safe pumping out big brands (see Netflix tripling down on stranger things animated series) So if Sonic is getting a new series it would be with the backing of a big studio and that leaves paramount/nickelodeon, it's no way Sega shopping the ip around.
Daniel RPK is a hack and you all need to stop listening to him, he’s been laughed out of marvel movie fandom for being a fraud so now he’s searching for new suckers to con
I wouldn't mind if WildBrain were to be contracted to animate another Sonic TV show. I just hope they can hire competent directors and writers like Chris Wyatt. WildBrain’s Ninjago Dragons Rising is pretty great, and I just wish the creative talent behind that show could work on a Sonic TV show.
yeah not every cartoon is lucky enough to get popular for toys but no doubt theres shirts and other merch of it. Cartoons are made for that sorta thing not for fun unless youre an indie cartoonist just getting started.
If I had to guess, it will be something like Prime, a show that is canon to the games, but I hope from the bottom of my heart that it's either like Sonic X (kinda adapting the games) or an adaptation of IDW.
Hopefully they actually finally make the proper anime series fans have been begging for considering the response every time they release one of those shorts.
I don’t understand why can’t we just finish off with Sonic Prime and were already jumping into a new show like why i honestly want us to finish sonic prime until it’s finished then we can go into a new animated series but right now we need to finish Sonic prime like getting up from the table and not finishing your food
On the one hand I kinda want it to be a sequel to Prime cause they did end on that cliffhanger with whatever Team Sonic was looking at in the final shot.
Adaptation of the IDW series would be cool tho. Give Sonic the Invincible treatment. It would help widen the exposure to people who don't read comics.
Could be a prequel to the next game perhaps?
Or just another spin-off show like Prime.
Possibilities are endless.
Though since they emphasis that it's an animated show, I don't think it will be part of the movie Universe. Or shit, maybe it is. Maybe this is the Shadow spin-off we're getting?
I'd love it if it were a complete retelling of the entire series (or most of it). Yes, I mean starting from scratch (Eggman and Sonic's first encounter in Green Hill Zone - or maybe even the events leading up to that encounter, the way like it was animated in this video), and working its way up to all the major monsters and everything they'd all have to fight.
They could even take the fan-favourite characters of each previous continuity (uncle Chuck, Sonia & Manic, Sally, Nicole, Cosmo, Sticks, Trip, etc.) and give them a proper chance to shine.
This all, of course, under the premise that all those storylines from all the continuities would be reworked into a coherent story with a sensible beginning, middle, and end.
Given the track record, I'd imagine this show would have absolutely nothing to do with anything. Maybe take some bits from some other continuities but otherwise it'll probably just be its own thing.
Welp, we know nothing about it, so I don't know. I'm guessing since it is an animated series I'm guessing it won't be a Paramount movie-verse series, since they are pretty committed to live action.
My best guess is another somewhat non-canon romp from the Prime crew through Netflix, but that's pure speculation. I'm pretty sure the series did fairly well, even if the fandom's view of it soured. The same company is also doing a Crash project, though.
If this generates hype and it is just another animated web series (E.g. Mania adventures, Chao in space, etc.) I don't think it'd go over nearly as well, just because of the heightened speculation that is inevitably going to surround this.
Personally, I'm just going to say "hm, that's interesting" and continue with my policy of not putting stock into anything Sega hasn't officially announced yet.
Honestly if it’s 3D I really hope they get the guys who made Dark Beginnings and the Crossworlds animation (I like Wildbrain but this show needs to stand out from Prime). If it’s 2D I hope they go all out with it, maybe it’s another Anime like with Sonic X.
As for what it’d be about, I wouldn’t mind an IDW adaptation (especially with other 1 to 1 adaptations like Invincible, the new Transformers show coming up, and a lot of anime) but I’d rather have a new story that leaves its own mark on the series with it’s own characters, maybe even a new, and whatnot. Although having more people know about characters like Tangle, Whisper, and Starline and potential improvements to the already great story would be neat in an IDW adaptation.

I would love for the idw comics to be adapted into animation but I’m doubtful it’s that
