How would YOU make a Sonic show?
I would basically do an updated and better SATAM type show, ditch the old freedom fighters in favor of Amy and the Sonic Adventure crowd as main support cast, and have it be more in tune with how the games looked in general, with only the better aspects of the anime movie mixed in
Just more episodes of the OVA.
Just more episodes of Underground
Just more episodes of Adventures of.
Just more episodes of X
Just more episodes of whatever this is.

D e l e t e the new characters, especially the edgehogs. Set it in 2001 and make robotnik look more human and have him as less of a mad scientist. Emerals are used for personal gain and political power as they are energy sources, all 7 are needed to reach a critical mass Eggman posses 4 to start with and the series shows how he obtains the rest through political and buisuness deals. Sonic dies to stop the emerals being used as a weapon. We see eggman holding some hair in his hand that has fallen out.
Show is 12 episodes
Just more episodes of cgi shorts like Night of the Werehog
Adapt The first games of Genesis and Sega CD
Sonic Boom is okay.
>>81518884
tell the truth i actually enjoyed sonic boom
Just make a show about Sonic, Tails and Robotnik. Fuck the others.
But SatAM sucked.
Focus on original plot while having loose game tie ins here and there.
Most of the ideas here are bad.
>>81518884
closely resembling the OVA
>>81518884
I would make sonic an Italian plumber, and Robotnik a giant turtle
base it off of this

>>81518884
More of the OVA would be nice.
Or really, just a SEGA Sonic show without trying to add something unnecessary like X did with Chris.
>>81518884
make it about eggman
I think the world design is really important. Yes I know that in the Japanese canon Sonic has always taken place explicitly on Earth, but the old games always spun things through a kind of stylized art direction with the checkerboard hills and stuff, which was lost when they started using realistic cities and stuff.
>>81520463
>hurr durr only sonic
you deserve to have your throat slashed you fucking faggot
One day I'd love to see a japanified version of an episode of AoSTH. Replace Sonic, Tails, and Robotnik with more on-model versions, and fix those fucking backgrounds. It'd be interesting at the very least.
>>81518884
add all the waifus
>>81518884
I'd pick up exactly where SatAM left off.
>>81518884
>How would YOU make a Sonic show?

SEGA has rules determining what can and can't happen to the main cast. The Freedom Fighters exist so that the writers can tell stories without being limited. For example, SEGA characters can't have family, and Sonic isn't allowed to lose a fight.
>>81524450
>SEGA characters can't have family, and Sonic isn't allowed to lose a fight.
That's lame.
Can I just make a show about Team Dark
>>81518884
A fun cartoon that has a bit of lore and plot but doesn't take itself so fucking seriously. So... Sonic Boom.
I'd just make more Sonic Boom. The only good Sonic is irreverent Sonic.
>>81524772
You have terrible taste.
>>81522136
>That last one
Anon, you better be joking..
>No outsiders(Freedom Fighters)
>Takes place in it's own universe heavily based on the source material; the games but with some liberties that aren't outlandish.
>With the above in mind; since it's going to be a show it IS going to need original stories since you can't just live off ALL the game material, that would leave it with a limited lifespan. The game adaptions can even be retold but not come off as lazy and put to together for sake of riding off their success just for it being adapted, PUT EFFORT.
>No main characters OC's. I don't care about the mandates with the canon characters. If you want to make a Sonic show and don't want to star the Sonic characters then don't make it at all.
>Villains: Eggman being the most common. Others villains from past games can be significant so Eggman won't go stale. There CAN be original villains but don't take too many liberties with them. People want the villains they recognize, that's who gets the ratings.
>Serious when it needs to be and humorous when it needs to be, none of that signal-tone bracket. No trying to hard to be deep where it comes off contrived and over dramatic and none of that overbearing humor with shitty jokes coming one after the other, aka NO COLORS TO LOST WORLD WRITING.
There, you got your Sonic show.
>>81520463
Is this what Sonicfags are?
>>81526080
>not wanting a show with the misadventures of Bartleby and his bitch Sonic
>>81524817
This
Boom and AoStH are the only good Sonic shows
Just more episodes of AoStH.
So is it cool to hate satAM now?
>>81527581
It always sucked. Sonic 06 the show it was.
>>81527581
No.
>>81527658
>>81521474
Go fuck yourself you tasteless goons.
>>81528215
>tasteless
I like AoStH. You gotta have taste to like that.
Season 1
Sonic travels through each zone of the first game while chasing Robotnik. He helps the cast of characters in each zone and ends up obtaining chaos emeralds in return (like Majora's Mask).
Season 2, same as above but with Tails and Super Sonic at the end. In this season, there is only one emerald for Sonic to get, which makes seven. I think the last two levels on the plane and in space would make for some good visuals.
Season 3, introduce time travel and Sonic sees the future, a la the industrial level designs in Sonic CD. Metal Sonic captures Amy and takes her to the future, Sonic has to rescue her.
Season 4, no Robotnik for the first half, just Sonic vs Knuckles. Turns out they're both being played by Robotnik, they team up at the end.
Season 5, Shadow the hedgehog kills Tails and Sonic has to avenge them. Turns out that Shadow is Sonic's long lost brother and that they were both created by Gerald Robotnik. Shadow is the POV character of this season, now titled Shadow the Hedgehog, and he uses guns to uncover the consipracy of who killed his best girl. Turns out it was Sonic, and Maria was actually Metal Sonic, a cyborg created by Eggman. Sonic uses Knuckles as bait to lure Shadow in, and Knuckles dies. Sonic is beaten up badly by Shadow, who by now has one of the chaos emeralds so Sonic can't transform into Super Sonic, but he attempts chaos control and ends up in the future where he is now Modern Sonic. Shadow, now even angrier at having to have waited all these years, finds Sonic and is about to shoot him, but Eggman appears with an evil robot and they team up to destroy it. At the end, they shake hands and create a new team called Sonic Heroes.
>>81528375
I liked AoStH, too. When I was 8.
Congratulations, you like something that only an 8-year-old could like.
>>81527341
I'll never understand the autistic faggotry that drives people into a tard rage when they see anyone but sonic
>>81528464
>Season 5, Shadow the hedgehog kills Tails and Sonic has to avenge them.

Kill yourself
>>81528375
AoSTH was nothing but a meme factory. It's really fucking terrible. Like Spongebob-tier
>>81528464

Alright, sounding good

Alright, still sounding good.
>Season 3
Uh...well I guess its neat to have Sonic CD in there

Alright, were getting good again. Sounds great.
>Season 5

>>81528853
Damn, you found the only bad thing in that paragaph.
>>81528777
But other Sonic characters are allowed. Just no Donut Steels.

Perfect. 10/10 - IGN.
Most of these ideas are terrible
>>81518884
More seasons of Sonic Boom.
>>81528584
>>81528894
That's because you have shit taste. How would you people know anything about quality. You probably take your own shit out of the toilet and horde it because you think it's valuable.
I'd want a CGI sonic show that relies on continuity and story arcs. So make it like Sonic X except better written and better characters.
>>81529029
Writer of that post here, CD is to introduce Metal Sonic. I think it would be a nice contrast to have the darker visuals of CD followed by a somewhat lighthearted return with the 3&Knuckles storyline.
>>81529255
yeah I think itd be neat
that uh
that last season though
uh
>>81529452
Nigga, the last season was the best season.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/FanFic/SonicXDarkChaos
>>81529452
Season 5 is a postmodern deconstruction of Sonic the Hedgehog.
Tails= loss of innocence
Knuckles= your bros won't be around forever
Shadow= the looming threat of terrorism
No Super Sonic= the media showing us things we can't have, which culminates in riots and such
>>81529527

It tries to push the envelope so hard that the envelope tears open and drops the mail into a puddle.
>>81529636
>Zack Snyder writes sonic
>>81529577
One day I will read through this story.
Sonic is a marketing character used to sell games. A tv show based on that would only be transcribing basic plots of his games or just fodder to hype up new ones
>>81522043
It's been atleast a year since I last said 'what the fuck' for a video. Thank you anon for introducing me to this
I'd hire CWC as the lead show runner. I'd dedicate 2 percent of the budget to millitary grade halucenogens, and require the animation team in korea to take drug tests, and fail them.
And I'd get one sane, archie dude who's responsibility it is to get all the crazy shit past the FCC.
>>81522043
This guy's on the writing staff as well.
>>81522043
>>81518884
The main cast would be as follows:
Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, Amy, Rouge, Shadow, Eggman, and Tikal(she's a female echidna ghost look it up).
Amy's there to follow Sonic, but is actually useful with her giant mallot. Tails is there because Sonic is his only friend. Knuckles because of muh emerald. Rouge is in it for money, casually switches sides, and tries to lure Knuckles away from his ghost gf because she's a SLUUUUT in most TV-G way possible. Shadow is angry at Eggman for a host of reasons(joins Eggman for the season 1 Finale where Eggman betrays him at the last minute). Finally Tikal is sort of like their Zordon/Aelita, and if the show gets a third season we'll take her out of the Master Emerald.
Plot:
The general plot is that Eggman wants to rule the world with his army of robots and needs the chaos emeralds. Only Sonic and crew can stop him because of whatever. Overarching plot is is the focus of only about half the episodes. "Filler" move the plot forward only with reveals at the ends/midway through the episode. These episodes exist to do shit like have an episode about an eating contest/Drug PSA/Teach a moral like don't be a little shit/Create shit just to put on sweet merch(Skiing Sonic with Jetpack IN STORES NOW).
Name:
Sonic Emerald
Last Note:
I'd keep Sonic's arms blue
>>81518884
>i would make a better satam without explaining what actual improvements i'd make
You're a brilliant artist, OP.
>>81522043
This has to be a parody right?
>>81530485
Getting rid of the SatAM characters IS the improvement.
Make a episodic comedy series like Osumatsu-san
>>81529577
>Beelzebub
>Sonic
What in the holy fuck?
>>81529650
Is like reading one of those sketchy creepypastas about lost episodes
>remember that one comfy show you used to watch when you were a kid? well there was an episode that explained how everyone was dead, and the bullies were Satan and there was hiper realistic blood and everyone was crying and
It's just.
Too.
Edgy.
>>81520407
This is literally sonic adventure 2. What the fuck?
>>81530636
And you had to compare it to some unrelated animu right?
Primary focus characters are strictly Sonic, Tails, and Eggbotnik. Other characters may appear as one-shots or recurring guests.
Overarching plot is about traveling the world to hunt down the Chaos Emeralds. This gives an excuse for frequently moving between exotic locales, clashing sporadically with side-characters, and showing off pretty shots of The Tornado. Sonic's thrill-seeking nature, quick temper, and Tails' curiosity get them involved in subplots along the way. Can involve beating up local threats, going on treasure hunts, helping to stop infighting with locals, finding clues to the Emeralds, or just relaxing. A few episodes are just dedicated to showing the bond between the two.
Eggbotnik's always pretty goofy, but his threat level varies on a per-episode basis. Quieter episodes may have him only use a mech in the climax to add action, while others may have him as a constant, persistant foe. Similarly, he may be occasionally upstaged by an ancient monster or Shadow, but snaps back to main foe by the next episode. He's evil, but more of an immature attention hog, like the Sonic X comics - if a murderous and cunning one.
Uses musical cues from the games when possible. Ending theme would be similar to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZ19n421nBc
If possible, desired tone is not action or comedy, but cozy. The world is beautiful, but also unexplored, quiet, and empty, making every setting change full of discovery, and every interaction that much more meaningful.
>>81522941
This is the direction we need for the setting. I don't mind cities, myself, but they could make them look like Star Light Zone. I know everyone has their own vision, but the big draw of Sonic for me is imaginative, fantastic landscapes that lend themselves to ADVENTURE.
>>81524450
>SEGA characters can't have family
See pic
>>81527341
That's just a list of ways you would *Not* do a Sonic show.
I mean, I agree with most of your points, but that's just because they're kinda vague.
>>81531130
>Primary focus characters are strictly Sonic, Tails, and Eggbotnik. Other characters may appear as one-shots or recurring guests.
I'm not okay with this.
>>81531130
Ian has straight up said Uncle Chuck is "an uncle to everyone" and not related to Sonic anymore.
>>81531130
>If possible, desired tone is not action or comedy, but cozy. The world is beautiful, but also unexplored, quiet, and empty, making every setting change full of discovery, and every interaction that much more meaningful.
I like this.
>>81531130
SEGA almost refused to allow him to return, but Ian weaseled out of the no family clause by making him be of no relation to sonic
Henchmen or no henchmen?
>>81531504
>tfw orbot and cubot will never have chicken and drillthing robot bodies
>>81531504
Eggman needs someone to bounce off of, so yes.
>>81531504
>those guys from Underground weren't even robots
For what purpose?
>>81531929
Nothing in Underground made sense.
>>81531130
these are some good ideas
>>81531504
i kinda like the robots from sonic x
>>81531187
I can totally accept that. Everyone has their own idea of how Sonic should be, and they're all valid.
Myself, I always start asking why Knuckles is in the story if the Master Emerald isn't involved, or why Shadow keeps popping up after his storyARKfinished, and I sometimes wonder what Amy Rose is adding to scenes even if I don't mind her. And I get annoyed when bland villains constantly upstage Eggman. But at the same time, the other dudes can really add character to the universe when they actually have a story to tell, and play off each other well when in limited quantities. And we all have personal favoritesEmerl is amazing.
So yeah, I can see a Sonic working with more core characters. And I can also see him working with fewer characters. But I feel like the plot would be much leaner and interactions more flexible with those three, and others coming in when the plot demands it (or when it'd be funny).
How would you handle that differently? More core characters? Fewer one-shots?
>>81531261
>>81531397
Ah, my mistake. I didn't know it was a recent thing.
>>81518884
It would have the OVA/CD style or Adventure style.
It would be about Sonic and Tails traveling across the world, similar to unleashed, minus the Werehog and Chip, to stop Eggman's plans.
Knuckles would be an on/off companion who sometimes joins them or meets up with them, but for the most part is off doing his own thing.
Amy would constantly be traveling around the world to find sonic, but he'd usually end up giving her the slip. Although she'd definitely help if she's needed.
Eggman's plotting to create some sort of armada or death egg-esque robot and is gathering materials from around the world, and while sonic puts a monkey wrench in his plans, the final season will have him come to fruition on his plans.
Metal Sonic will be somewhat rogue but still work for Eggman. But because he's basically sonic he's sometimes despondent towards Eggman or gets caught up in his need to outdo sonic.
(I have no idea if I'd want any SA2 or beyond characters but for now I'd leave it at that)
For the most part I'd want a sonic series about the journey and freedom, so a series that's all about sonic running around the huge world is really appealing to me.
>>81518884
Scratch and Grounder would appear as Eggman's minions.
>>81520463
>political and buisuness deals
Its people like you that ruined the Star Wars prequels
>>81531130
>No Knuckles
Dropped.
>>81533288
oh boy
>>81531130
>If possible, desired tone is not action or comedy, but cozy. The world is beautiful, but also unexplored, quiet, and empty, making every setting change full of discovery, and every interaction that much more meaningful.
This. Its my biggest complaint of all sonic cartoons that they totally disregard the game's setting.
>>81529650
I know this is from Hero Academia based on artstyle, but where?
Sonic Underground but make the songs sound like the intro
>>81518884
Blue arms
>>81518884
I would do in-depth adaptations of the Adventure games. They fix all the plot-holes, explain things that weren't explained before, vastly improve the writing and dialogue, include more character-development, have a consistent art-style (humans and background animals are actually designed like Sonic characters and capsule/Badnik animals respectively), recast a lot of characters to have better, nicer-sounding voices, and scenes are presented much better.
>>81540549
Also, I forgot to mention that there would be a lot of stuff in the adaptations that wasn't in the original stories.
