I tried watching Underground.

The songs were just disgusting and horrifying. The character designs are disgusting too, nothings appealing, etc.
It's like DiC really didn't care if they were going to stain Sonics reputation or not.


At least Sonic X followed the games SOMEWHAT.

Honestly, that's the one thing I don't like about DiC, or sometimes even when Westerners animate something from the East. They pretty much twist and change so much that it hardly ever matches the original. I mean, won't deny, I did enjoy Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, but that's due to the humor, and it was as close as to the games (having Chaos Emeralds and various Zones from Sonic 2, and even ending with them on a plane). The Super Mario series...I could never get into for pretty much the reasons above (script kind of sucked, nerfed Yoshi's IQ, designs weren't all that great, etc.). The Mega Man cartoon was fine and all, but...it still doesn't help the script had some pretty lame puns and what-not. =P

I'm not saying the shows themselves are bad. I did enjoy Underground a bit, and SatAM had its moments, but I'm not exactly 100% sure about the approaches they do, that's all.

Anyway, that's slightly off-topic.

Sonic X for sure, I'm probally in the minority but I enjoy it the best out of all the Sonic Cartoons. SatAM and AoSTH was one extreme or the other and both had their good points, with SatAM having deep more thoughtout stories even though it didn't involve much from the Genesis games, and with AoSTH it was just so off the wall that I couldn't help but watch the chaotic humor. I guess I like Sonic X the most cause it follows the games alot better than others and while it has its faults, like Chris... and the way they presented most of characters at times. The Mettrix season was really interesting and would have liked to see a Sonic game based off this. Though I got to admit one of the big turnoffs for me about SatAM was how the series ended cause it left you with such a cliffhanger and it was gone. I know it was based more off the Archie comics (which I haven't got to read into much) I would have liked to see it had more elements from the games from the times, like Knuckles and the Emeralds along wiht Metal Sonic and Mecha Sonic and so on. I liked some of the charaters from the series like Sally, Bunnie, and Uncle Chuck just it was so different from the games that it always left me with wanting more from the actual games.

And for Sonic Underground, when I first saw it I watched it once and that was it.

There should be a suicide option.

I was all hyped up to vote for Sonic X. Then I actually saw the poll, and realised I was limited to the horrible dub.

So I voted for Sonic Underground.

SU is silly, the songs are pretty bad, and when the three siblings laugh the distinction between the character's voices goes away leading to an overall creepy experience, but it's an entertaining show in general.

The dub of Sonic X isn't. This might just be bias though, since there's a clearly better version in existence. But I can't listen to Cream in the dub without clawing my ears off, and I'm probably the only person in the universe who likes Cream.

[Mr. Pictures]

Sonic X, no doubt. It's not good, but it's WAY better than the atrocity that is Underground.
I mean... FUCK

OMG no way was the in the show! Really? It's hideous!

[Aquaslash]

IIRC, it's a robot baby made by Eggman, the plan was to get the heroes to take it to the Sanctuary where they where keeping all the children, presumably so he could roboticize them all and blow it up (the robot has a bomb)

For a kids show, that's pretty freakin grim IMO *shrugs*

[Mercury]

I got no clue why that baby is so hideous, because they draw the three siblings as babies just fine, and they're even pretty cute.

The music in Underground isn't that bad; it's the singing that sucks. If they were reperformed by someone with a modicum of singing ability, it would help a lot.

As for my vote: Both Underground and X suck, but I can enjoy myself while watching Underground, and at least it introduces some characters I can like (I think Manic is cool, so sue me). Sure it has some terrible moments, but not that much worse than your average subpar western cartoon like Mighty Max.

Sonic X, though, is a travesty that makes me cringe even thinking about it. I hate the way they portray every single character, and the designs for all the machines and background paintings are eye-numbingly boring.

[Aquaslash]

It was intentionally hideous =P

[Relick]

Personally I prefer X. It was the one program that I actually looked forward to watching at 6 am every day. Underground was just urgh. I couldn't stand their voices, the singing was terrible and Knuckles was a girl. What was worse was I only enjoyed one episode (the final one) and that was ruined by the atrocious song that destroyed everything.
Then again, the dubbed X is full of crap, but the Japanese X is frankly the same crap with the cream on top.

[Lord Nero]

X 4kids or Underground, now thats one I had to think about ^^. When it comes to Sonic X, I've mainly watched it in sub form (really enjoyed the last season), I just thought the dub downright sucked, hard.
On the other hand, I used to watch Underground all the time during its original run, but the musical segments really made me too ashamed to watch it with other people. So its a question of either shame or horrible dub?
After a bit I voted Underground, the music parts are rather shameful, but the dub of X is bad enough imo to feel shame the whole time. Yeah, Underground.

[Ranger]

I voted Sonic X because Big was in it a couple times :D
Really though, they both sucked equally but SU's animation was downright TERRIFYING sometimes.

Sounds like a grim concept, but the execution was probably poor.

[The KKM]

Sonic Underground had a silly nice story, Athair, and "No One Is An Island".

Sonic X US was just bad.

Sonic Underground hands down. I consider it my guilty pleasure, and have been watching all episodes on Youtube :b

[Greg the Cat]

Sonic X, no doubt. It's not good, but it's WAY better than the atrocity that is Underground.
I mean... FUCK

Is that supposed to be..... Sonic?!... I ...

UGGHHGHHG. That's is fuck ugly.

[Raithos]

Sonic X, no doubt. It's not good, but it's WAY better than the atrocity that is Underground.
I mean... FUCK

OMG no way was the in the show! Really? It's hideous!

It looks like Sonic's mom got raped by the ugliest alien from the universe of atrocities, and then when he was born got thrown up on, thrown into a pile of feces and dropped on his face until it was squashed flat. And THEN the animators got lazy and decided to just stick his ears on the back of his head...

But hey, at least it still looks better than my ex girlfriend . (yikes)
