Did you know that most of the "Western Animation" are made by Korean and Japanese studios? Marvel,DC,Disney(the tv series),Cartoon Network,Nickelodeon and the list goes on are made by Asians with american storyboards. You can thank "Good quality" to the East.

You mean the most faithful adaptation? Like it or not but the japanese anime adapt the two Sonic Adventure and Sonic Battle game pretty well. The story after season 1(and even the season 1 finale) is pretty mature and dark. The 4Kids dub is pure censored,altered,dialogue changed,cutted(one JP episode is about 24 min and the regular 4Kids one is 21 min...but a few episode only last 16-17 minutes...massive 4 minute extra cut from that episode!)trash.

Season 3 is the most grim and sad Sonic storyline ever. Sonic Team helped with the anime. Yuji Uekawa,the Dreamcast era designer and character artist made the human looks Chris included. Sonic and his friends co exist with humans was a plan since the 90s starting with the Man of the Year short that TMS also made. You can hate it as much as you want....i mean the 4Kids one because i believe you never watched the uncensored version.

However i the Sonic films because i watch them in my local cinema but i care less about them so you can criticize those as much as you want. You can do the same with Sonic X AFTER you watched every 78 episode with JP dub with english or other sub. The love and ion despite the low budget(thanks Sega for not trusting TMS...) was clearly there and the best characterization they got that the series ever had!
