Sonic the Hedgehog is my favorite character of all time, but this anime isn't it. DON'T LISTEN TO THE MAJORITY OF THE SONIC FANBASE, THIS SHOW ISN'T THE MASTERPIECE THEY SAY IT IS. Watching Sonic X in its original Japanese form makes a better experience compared to horrible censorship and tone erasure of the English dub, but it dosen't improve the writing, pacing, and overall presentation of this show. Sure, the characters are written almost perfectly to their canon-counterparts from the pre-2010s era of Sonic games, but the unnecessary focus on human characters and boring filler ruins EVERYTHING. Even the cool action scenes between Sonic ... & Friends and Eggman aren't as cool as they should because it takes too long to get there! "BUT HOW ABOUT SEASON 3-" It's still not worth it cause think about it? Why would you have to sit through 30+ episodes until a show gets good? A show has to be consistently good from the start!

Now for actual recommendations for Sonic fans (old and new):

1 - Watch every Modern Sonic game with Japanese subtitles, then watch them in English dub when you're interested enough

2 - For animated material, just watch the Sonic OVA. My review on that explains why its a good movie for anyone intrigued by Sonic or people wanting to get in the fun of it all.

3 - For gaming potential, play the Sonic Mega Collection online for free to get into the Classic era of Sonic games. After that, just play Sonic Mania.

Do all of these except watch Sonic X....PLEASE. It's not the WORST anime in the world, but you can spend your precious time somewhere else. I still have high nostalgia for this anime, but it has not aged well at ALL.

This movie has to be the best Sonic animated media out there! The action, stakes, story-line, and characters are what Sonic the Hedgehog should be! Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles actually feel like themselves at their peak from the pre-2010s era of Sonic games. Their friendship also has to be the best its ever been portrayed/written. Oh yeah!, Look-a-like is such an AMAZING song. I WISH that Sega goes back to creating Sonic content that emits this amazing FEELING you get from watching this movie. If you're a Sonic fan or someone trying to get into the series, THIS IS THE MOVIE FOR YOU OMFG!!!! 10/10, ... even if you're not a Sonic fan, you should definitely watch this movie!
