I didn't mind Sonic X too much, really like the way it roped the stories of SA 1 + 2 and explained why there was a whole city of people in sonic's world.
I also couldn't stand the English dub, eventually Chris's, Amy's and Cheese's voices drove me to stop, but I do remember an age when the sonic community tried a hand at it's own dub, didn't get far I think possibly on the old SSRG... I don't think it was as old as Area 51... but I digress.

It was during the CulT days.

Too bad the idea died. I'd have loved to see a Sonic X Abridged by CulT. Though, this was way before YouTube became big and abridges were even a thing.

If it's Sonic X Abridged you're after, Sonic F hasn't done a terrible job (of what few episodes they have done):

Oh god I remember those CulT parody's. we need to upload those even if they were terrible, those were fun times.

Yeah but too bad Sonic F takes 6 months to release 1 episode.

Honestly, if anyone wants to see the series distributed on DVD again here in the states, I'd personally recommend inquiring Discotek Media. The company, though small, has a very good relationship with TMS Entertainment, releasing quite a number of their titles, such as the Lupin series, Sherlock Hound, Cyber Six, and such. Plus, they've been known to release their series both in Dubbed and Subtitled fashion, even for shows that were Edited only, though through separate releases. Having owned their releases, they're generally high quality and seem to actually care about what they put out, even reaching out to fans to help out with their releases sometimes.

Their facebook is located here, if anyone wants to ask them.


Not to derail the topic, but I just wanted to say thank you for the props! I was the DVD Producer/Package designer on Cybersix and I work on all the Lupin titles as well as Sherlock Hound. It's nice to know people appreciate the hard work!

Do you think asking them to produce Sonic X dvds is possible then?

Lupin eh? tell me have you heard of a guy named Lee Sparkes at all? just curious, he also goes by the username Bolt7 as well.

Asking them couldn't hurt? I don't control at all what DT licenses, though. So I dunno.

Yeah. I do all the Lupin packaging and sort of oversee some of the production of content with my friend Reed Nelson. We recently wrapped up the Cagliostro DVD. I haven't heard of Lee Sparkes/Bolt7, though, sorry!

I was just wondering if it was a legitimate possible thing that could happen. like you said, guess it wouldn't hurt.

Its okay, hes a good friend of mine and a member here at Retro. he doesn't visit much due to his job and his hobby of running a Lupin The 3rd newssite (which I'm gonna plug)

I didn't mind the dub voices (as the series continued), but I couldn't stand the background score. It was absolutely horrendous, to the point where I had once thought my ears were bleeding.

The laughable censorship also made it cringeworthy to watch in English. I love it in JP though. :)

It was like trying to watch it with someone constantly humming. Made the whole thing virtually unwatchable.
