I’m not saying I have all the answers, I’m just saying an anime is probably the least likely when you look at the circumstances

to bring more attention to sonic in the japanese market?

Production hell? Animes take long as fuck

I’m not saying I have all the answers, I’m just saying an anime is probably the ...
ok but what do you think it is 😭

Plug, quit dooming. The SxSG era is already over.

@median marsh I need u for a sec rn bbg

Sonic X was in production since 2000

Yup

i wouldnt bet on it being a big studio though
obtuse lynx
Ur like aigis to my makoto

Knuckles got delayed and was also explicitly a Movieverse project
paper cradle
i think its TMS

It is not giving TMS

It is not giving TMS 💅💅💅
dusky garnet
They can and they HAVE BEFORE
amber mortar
FUCK IT GAYS IM ON THE COPIUM
Wtf spectre 😧
night anvil
I think the Wade Whipple Show does, in fact, change things quite a bit, mainly in the sense of being irrelevant
dusky garnet
oh my god why is this Plugnut-
spice ember
Ur like aigis to my makoto
dusky garnet
Aosth Satam OVA WERE ALL BEING DONE AT THE SAME FUCKING TIME
paper cradle
It is not giving TMS
idk if TMS really has a house style?
drifting mason
Because Plug is telling us it isn't?
obtuse lynx
TMS is already busy with sakamoto days btw
Wait they’re doing that???
polar skiff
Because it took them until the movie budget to greenlight something like Dark Beginnings
amber mortar
Ye
paper cradle
Wait they’re doing that???
yeah
obtuse lynx
Explains…a lot… 😅
amber mortar
polar skiff
They're not about to greenlight an entire anime several years before half of their shorts even aired
amber mortar
Explains…a lot… 😅
You haven't even watched the trailer why you be lying like that
paper cradle
Because it took them until the movie budget to greenlight something like Dark Be...
what about the frontiers prologue though
night anvil
Because it took them until the movie budget to greenlight something like Dark Be...
Which means something like an anime focusing on the Pink Haired Girl as a significant character, that would’ve gotten picked up recently
not FOB from Movie 2 being out for a few days, and especially not after having a finished design
dusky garnet
Ok then what is this teasing then.
paper cradle
what about the frontiers prologue though
that def started production in 2021 too
night anvil
what about the frontiers prologue though
there’s a good point there in it having a higher production value, but that goes for Trio of Trouble as well and nobody cared about that
polar skiff
what about the frontiers prologue though
That technically benefited from Movie 2 and the game's already inflated advertising budget
obtuse lynx
You haven't even watched the trailer why you be lying like that
i just LOVE lying h3ybro 😅😅😅
dusky garnet
Before Frontiers was even properly shown gameplay?
paper cradle
That technically benefited from Movie 2 and the game's already inflated advertis...
yeah, and so would an anime starting dev in 2021
amber mortar
i just LOVE lying h3ybro 😅😅😅
Okay daniel
night anvil
prologues for the games were also customary at this point but Dark Beginnings is the standout. It’s CG and it has the highest production value of any of these projects
spice ember
there is no shot in heaven frontiers 2 was planned this far in advance lmao
drifting mason
Yes.
amber mortar
Deleter wtf
night anvil
there is no shot in heaven frontiers 2 was planned this far in advance lmao
Frontiers started early concept work in 2017, didn’t it?
spice ember
oh my GOOOOOOOOOD
polar skiff
Sonic was NOT BACK right then!!!
spice ember
look
amber mortar
It could start planing in 2021
spice ember
if you don't think its this
polar skiff
It was JUST after Forces....
spice ember
come up with an alternative
dusky garnet
Yes
obtuse lynx
Anime so cheap tbh
polar skiff
Frontiers 2, duh
spice ember
"its not anime!!" THEN WHAT IS IT TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME
obtuse lynx
I should order one rn
drifting mason
The only alternative is Sonic Frontiers 2.
paper cradle
ok i did just realize this would imply its an anime written by ian....
night anvil
frontiers was the thing to make sonic big in japan again remember
they’re not gonna greenlight an anime before frontiers
paper cradle
probably
dusky garnet
THEYA RE NOT GONNA FUCKING ANNOUNCE FRONTIERS 2 ON THE 30TH
amber mortar
"its not anime!!" THEN WHAT IS IT TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME
Honestly my theories are :
Another visual novel
An anime
A new console game entirely
An app
Or This is an insane reach but what if she's maria sister, and we're gonna hear about her in the shadow dream team update that drops in december.
Remember that ariem was also designed by uekawa...
dusky garnet
if this is an anime what do we do toc the deniers
obtuse lynx
obtuse lynx
i would kill myself
No you would not
paper cradle
THEY ALSO WOULDNT HAVE FRONTIERS 2 CONCEPT ART OVER A YEAR BEFORE FRONTIERS 1 RELEASED
night anvil
frontiers was the thing to make sonic big in japan again remember
they’re not ...
the last sonic anime flopped so hard in its home country it didn’t even air s3 until nothing else was on 💀
dusky garnet
A visual novel announced in the 30th
obtuse lynx
You know u and i would be on the bed playing a new VN 😇
dusky garnet
Plug you act like you are a company
amber mortar
i would kill myself
I think it's possible but it feels like she's been teased for far too long
For it to be a simple vn
obtuse lynx

pug that was 300 years ago
polar skiff
spice ember
what if ian was just fucking with us
paper cradle
the last sonic anime flopped so hard in its home country it didn’t even air s3 u...
Almost as if it was a production mainly targeted towards international audiences as opposed to Japanese ones, which this wouldn't be I'd imagine
dusky garnet
Yea there is the alternative that this is nothing
paper cradle
ITS JUST
dusky garnet
But i refuse to think this is ANY game.
drifting mason
What if she only exists in the movie universe and the date means nothing? Maybe that could be cool.
dusky garnet
If its something
paper cradle
THATS SUCH AN ANIME ANNOUNCEMENT ASS IMAGE
dusky garnet
It is yea
night anvil
What if she only exists in the movie universe and the date means nothing? Maybe ...
why have a movie character in the first TailsTube
hell not even a movie character, a movie backdrop space filler character
polar skiff
THATS SUCH AN ANIME ANNOUNCEMENT ASS IMAGE
It's a very game prologue ass image
night anvil
this is a tease
polar skiff
dusky garnet
Also why would Ian be all hush hush about a movie character anime girl
obtuse lynx
deletre what if we linked up irl and did this to each other
night anvil
maybe it’s not Frontiers 2 or a Racing game but a Secret Third Thing Game
dusky garnet
MAYBE ITS AN ANIME LIKE IT HAS BEEN BEGGED FOR FOR YEARS
paper cradle
It's a very game prologue ass image
Game prologue announcements don't have that START text smh...
Also TMS is capable of doing multiple anime it's not a small studio in terms of size
polar skiff
"They're not going to tease ___ in 2021 if it's 4 years away"
dusky garnet
and if frontiers already came in trying to appeal as much to japan as possible
Why wouldnt they make this a big turn around for sonic in japan
night anvil
MAYBE ITS AN ANIME LIKE IT HAS BEEN BEGGED FOR FOR YEARS
The general public still likes prime 
drifting mason
why have a movie character in the first TailsTube
You're asking me to make my jokes more obvious than they already are.
dusky garnet
Japan loves prime yes yes
spice ember
paper cradle
These are all from the last few years
spice ember
very disappointed no one voted tsr 2
drifting mason
H3ylow left...
night anvil
If you’re gonna make the argument that they can’t have concept art for a game hanging around for so long the same could be said for an anime that logistically couldn’t have been greenlit before frontiers if they were considering whether or not it’d be viable
paper cradle
(From the TMS site)
dusky garnet
Frontiers 2 before frontiers 1 even came out
paper cradle
OK I have a test now bye chat
dusky garnet
Bye Nidio gl
red field
hope he's not gonna think about this too much during the test
polar skiff
If you’re gonna make the argument that they can’t have concept art for a game ha...
That's what I'm sayinnnnnng
drifting mason
It's 5 in the morning here.
polar skiff
Logistically it makes none of the sense
dusky garnet
It just looks like an anime tease, sorry for just seeing that and being like huh that looks like an anime tease
spice ember
going "exactlyyyyy" after he leaves and can't defend his position is crazy ngl
amber mortar
H3ylow left...
No i'm right handed
night anvil
Maybe instead of an anime it’s a manga with a freaky animated teaser and the Shadow manga was just them testing the waters the entire time
amber mortar
very disappointed no one voted tsr 2
I voted for tsr 2 oomf 🥹
Oh waiiit
Wait
Wait

polar skiff
Frontiers basically finished development by 2021 and was delayed for polish, Sonic Team are notorious for starting development of their next games as the production of the first wraps up
dusky garnet
So what do you guys think is this Powerhouse or TMS
spice ember
hurry it up h3y i wanna go to bed
polar skiff
Wdym "start!"

A race, a manga, an anime ?
its broken english they just do that

Oh hmm

i poked myself in the eye with a straw
drifting mason
Somebody here said "start!" Is used for Anime announcements.

Sonic the Hedgehog: Awakening
polar skiff
It could be any game announcement but it can also be frontiers 2, it's not as limited as people think it is
amber mortar
Oh my god i got so scared for a sec i thought movie 3 released dec 30 in japan but no it's dec 27
😭
Mhm
polar skiff
Because Sonic Team is more of a nonstop assembly line of games than you think
night anvil
CS2….
drifting mason
Okay so, I'm on anime team for sure.
drifting mason
I don't know what's the inverse of copium, but I feel like some of you are on it right now.

amber mortar
I'm on anime/new app/racing game
drifting mason
hmm wait isn’t Chao Tales coming out next year
We already went through it.
amber mortar
Nah this was already discussed
drifting mason
You're too slow.
night anvil
You're too slow.
dusky garnet
A Frontiers 2 doesnt make sense cuz she was shown before frontiers had even gameplay show
A racing mobile game wouldnt warrant that kind of hype at all
amber mortar
Yeah same
polar skiff
I don't really take the frontiers fandom/sonic fandom's interpretation of developer comments that seriously when there is much more tongue and cheek dialog between the interviewer and interviewee, no
dusky garnet
But then if its not an anime what could it be
amber mortar
Dlc for shadow gens guys trust
dusky garnet
I doubt with this style, this framing, that it is a game
I doubt its a manga either
night anvil
What if this is a tease for a livestream
polar skiff
I believe him when he says that his future was up in the air, but not Sonic's
dusky garnet
night anvil
What if this is a tease for a livestream
I’m throwing shit out there because game chances aren’t perfect but I am completely unconvinced that this is meant to lead into an anime
dusky garnet
This is not frontiers 2
night anvil
Ofc it has to be THIS shot giving me speculation trouble again im gonna shoot knuckles and that stupid hedgehog neo
drifting mason
See guys, this is why I kept hoping pink haired lady wasn't real and was a troll. Look at the kind of discussion we've gotten ourselves into shortly after she's showed up on a billboard.
dusky garnet
Lmfao
amber mortar
Lmfaooo
polar skiff
It might be! But it's also much more likely to be a follow up to frontiers than any anime project with the logistics. One of these is a game that reached beta in 2019 and was practically finished in 2021, the other is an endevor that didn't really take off until post-Frontiers
amber mortar
This is why i love this server
dusky garnet
Why does it LOOK LIKE THAT
dusky garnet
That doesnt look like how a frontiers 2 would look like at all
amber mortar
Tion

See guys, this is why I kept hoping pink haired lady wasn't real and was a troll...
at this point i'd just wait for the date to speak for itself
dusky garnet
Its gonna be a long month
polar skiff
That doesnt look like how a frontiers 2 would look like at all
ITS A FAKE AD ON A TOKYO BILLBOARD AAAAAAA
night anvil
Actually yeah wait
dusky garnet
WHY DID THEY EDITED IT
polar skiff
BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO HAVE FUN
sick coyote
amber mortar
at this point i'd just wait for the date to speak for itself
Collectively loosing our minds ! Just a month away ! Can you believe it guys !?
night anvil
Have we considered the artwork purely being that and not actually being a representation of the product they’re gonna reveal
dusky garnet
WHY IS THERE A DATE
amber mortar
😭
polar skiff
FOR US TO WAIT FOR
night anvil
there’s a chance the actual thing will look completely different and this is just weird concept art/custom promo artwork

night anvil
Frontiers delay happened in 2020, yeah
night anvil
Frontiers delay happened in 2020, yeah
Because they said 2022 in the teaser revealed in the first central
dusky garnet
The fact you guys are so against the idea this could be an anime is so baffling to me like goddamn this broad has been teased for so long just to be on a random spinoff game help
spice ember
this broad 😭
polar skiff
Gonna tell TSR that
night anvil
The fact you guys are so against the idea this could be an anime is so baffling ...
the last/most recent sonic cartoon took 5 years to be developed, frontiers is the first thing to really propel sonic into the JP conscious again, and the real movie money is just now beginning to roll in
it would take a ton of stars aligning and falling into place in order to pull this off
spice ember
alr this stopped being fun, gn for real

The islands discourse this long after Kishimoto already spoke on the matter is still bothersome tbh
("[...] with the appearance. We decided to split up Chronos Island.")
amber mortar
"It's boring"
you could've juste changed the fucking color of the grass for ouranos
polar skiff
Honestly that's what gets me abt Frontiers the most; they could have leaned into variation for the islands to take the edge off the complaints, but mostly kept them pretty basic
Like there are areas on the islands that fit the bill
The tree area in Ares, the hot springs or the icy areas in Chaos
amber mortar
Yeah
polar skiff
Obviously they wouldn't have bothered with Oranous if the change to split it up worked to begin with tho
Most of these comments don't end up mattering to the fandom though, and the mythological fourth island is surely out there somewhere...
Hence how everyone reacted to the terrain test map from that one developer slide
amber mortar
Mhm
polar skiff
Alternatively the discussion around cyberspace seems predominantly around vibes rather than what the developers stated, as well
There can be a dozen different citations on Retro of Kishimoto and Iizuka mentioning how Cyberspace was in the initial, pre-feedback form of Frontiers, and you'd think they would prioritize developer insight of all people. But instead the conversations afterwards in the same thread continued to use just one 4chan rumor that did not include it, as the more immediate source for what stage of development they were conceptualized
I do get not believing developers 100%, and looking for insight from leaks when the truth might be obfuscated, but not to that extent
vast inlet
I saw your post on Retro about this, so I understand
polar skiff
Yeah, I tried to do a proper good job for a write up, and then the immediate post followed with speculation and a "oh lmao one of deleter's quotes supports this lol" (it didn't )
vast inlet
me too man
amber mortar
That the pink haired woman was gonna be the "ghost girl" mom
Or that she was the ghost girl herself
drifting mason
What?
Oh right, she was teased before Frontiers released.
You sounded crazy for a second to me.
red field
that would be mega lame
indigo vapor
guys is it normal if every time a word ends in ‘Ega’ I hear Eggman Nega right after
amber mortar
polar skiff
I don't think I've ever hedged my bets on anything that actually sounds too good to be true; even the "Pink Girl is Ariem" deal was much more for the sake of crackpot theory than anything I would actually want
Maybe that makes me unreasonably pessimistic but that's honestly my main motivation for betting against it, more than figuring out what it is for exactly
But where is the satisfaction if I don't really care if she's for a Frontiers 2 or a RPG 😭
The heart of the bet...
amber mortar
At least this discussion was entertaining
The french community was like "erm this is prolly nothing, just a troll"
The fun police istg
drifting mason
I sincerely don't get why people are annoyed at movie Sonic being silly.
He's funny, charming and cute.
vast inlet
I think it's mainly because of the more serious stuff cranked up quite a lot
Makes the goofy quips stand out more
Also something something trailer editing
TF:One seemingly had a similar issue with its marketing, where they put all the obnoxious shit
Only for the movie itself to be not that*
elder bear
nfw this pink haired girl is back
vast inlet
*seemingly, I haven't watched it myself
elder bear
shes kinda baddie tho
drifting mason
If people want or expect a fully serious Sonic movie, all I can do is laugh at them.
I like that we can have some comedy and goofy moments with increased stakes.
Plus he's really charming with Tails and Knuckles, I'm so looking forward to their interactions.
They are family now.
Like that horror movie night clip is exactly the kind of stuff I want.
polar skiff
Which had to come from a want to begin with
elder bear
I sincerely don't get why people are annoyed at movie Sonic being silly.
i jsut really hope hes written decent in the movie and they just choosing worst dialogues because kids
polar skiff
If he's anything like he is in 2 it should be fine
drifting mason
He'll definitely have some good moments where he's serious.
I think people overreact to his silly dialogue.
rugged tulip
So let me get this straight
The pink lady wasn’t in the first trailer, but now is in the final trailer?
amber mortar
Yah
vast inlet
She's in that 30-second TV spot
amber mortar
Yeah
rugged tulip
I'm genuinely so confused about whether or not that shoot was finished or they are fucking with us
vast inlet
And she only shows up once, which is strange because that electric billboard shows up twice in that TV spot
amber mortar
I'm genuinely so confused about whether or not that shoot was finished or they a...
Yes
vast inlet
and the first time it shows up, it has the same picture it did in trailer 1
kind cedar
I like that we can have some comedy and goofy moments with increased stakes.
Look, comedy's subjective and all i get it. But some people find the mcu quipping shtick annoying. It isn't so much that people dont want comedy and goofy moments. Hell sa2 was full of that stuff
kind cedar
i jsut really hope hes written decent in the movie and they just choosing worst ...
And I HATE this as an excuse. We've had some great family movies over the years that know how to use humor, that can also appeal to a lot of people
Kids deserve good media too
polar skiff
When the kids media card is played I get split between two perspectives, that being the all-inclusive "even if some people are fine with the stuff that turns other people away, those same fans will still enjoy it when its improved upon to the broader audience's standards", but then also the "kids media is not always made for everyone, and it shouldn't be forced to conform to being made for everyone when it is being made to appeal to a child's sensibilities/literacy levels"
The thing is though, most of the quips in question aren't really... something made in service of children 💀

I believe is a game

THE next mainline game if they got Paramount to advertise it
But
Not Frontiers 2
worldly patio
er wait anime theory?
People have been talking about the possibility of us getting a new sonic anime and that pink haired girl is from that
Honestly not impossible at all, a brand new Sonic anime is something worth enough bothering Paramount to advertise too
dusty lotus
oh hmm. yeah I'll lean more over next main game honestly
But I can still see an sonic anime being a possibility
paper cradle
Man I thought it was funny how we were getting more obscure characters like pachacamac before amy but character from media that we still don't know about before amy is insane 😭
worldly patio
Fr
The gears on my brain are stsrting to spin
Frontiers was a very risky move by sega, so who says that they didn't have a backup plan in case their first open zone game failed
So, I believe this was meant to be the next game after frontiers if it had bombed
Meaning, a pure boost game
polar skiff
where does Sonic Heroes fit into all of this
worldly patio
Its half of it
paper cradle
Legit i can't see how sonic team would have SXSG, frontiers, rumble AND a new game all in development

Shadow gens wouldnt have had Open Zone had Frontiers bombed
Meaning
More time to develop a full boost game

Reminder that Rumble is mainly Rovio
polar skiff
Shadow Gens started development in 2022, after the movie released

See, the key words here are "sonic team"
elder bear
Legit i can't see how sonic team would have SXSG, frontiers, rumble AND a new ga...
tbf rumble was not developed by sonic team

Now, does this mean this new game will have an Open Zone? Maybe, if its for end of 2025
I do
You dont call Paramount to advertise your small side game in their big movie
elder bear
tbf rumble was not developed by sonic team
its studio 4 from sega who works on mobile games
sonic team probably just help with some stuff the same way as superstars
polar skiff
You dont call Paramount to advertise your small side game in their big movie
We don't know if it's in the movie itself yet
Only the one video
worldly patio
Even that its still asking paramount too much imo
polar skiff
Yeah but even the TV spot didn't edit the billboard in the same shot shown a second time
Same as the first trailer
worldly patio
This
elder bear
this shot and the one with girl is dif scenes tho
worldly patio
They constantly go back and forth between new and old stuff
Like they still use blue fire air shoes despite showing the latest version has them magenta-ish colored
amber mortar
Whos to say that the billboard isn't also switching between different ads
worldly patio
Thats also true
polar skiff
I'm not, but I'm also not going to be surprised if they just snuck it in to one of paramount's ads
Since that's all they really have to do to get the Sonic fandom fired up abt these teases
SoA/Marketing
Not for the games no
Or anything SEGA related, if we're going by anime theory
worldly patio
Also this was only found thanks to the google ads repository thing
So I wonder when it was actually meant to be released
wicked hearth
pink haired lady showing up here is crazy, considering they have few actual Sonic characters
I was about to say that, but I don't want to do that every time a character shows up before Amy as wild as it is

Yuji Uekawa did the original art for her
we don't really know how Tyson draws sonic styled humans

I mostly can tell because of the bold white highlights
I don't think he created her

Ye, in this particular case I think it's tyson who made the art on the billboard

Maybe he tried to emulate Karasuno’s art style for this particular character. I mean, Evan Stanley did that too for Gerald’s journals in Shadow Gens

?
elder bear
i mean stanley really tried to copy karasuno style for gerald journal

oh that's what he meant

It would be such a strange way to tease a new Sonic anime if this is the case
you say that as if there would only be a teaser in the movie 🤫
why did I type only twice.
worldly patio
if they were doing an anime, I really wonder who they got for it working
Most likely TMS
amber mortar
Nah
Tms is busy rn
They're working on sakamoto days
But- if the anime is for 2026 then maybe
worldly patio

Or maybe 2027 depending on multiple factors
ashen flower
was TMS busy at the time?
rugged tulip
Once again, this current era of Sonic is just begging for a new anime
ashen flower
it's never not time for a new anime
rugged tulip
and being consistently good unlike Sonic X
paper cradle
Tms is busy rn
Idk TMS isn't that small
I think they currently have a show airing, and Sakamoto days is also releasing soon iirc?
So it's not impossible for them to have multiple projects at once
rugged tulip
it's never not time for a new anime
I'm saying this as the series only now embraces being earnest & trying to be cool again
Compared to over half a decade ago
dusty lotus
If we are getting a sonic anime how will it be handled?

Where I just couldn't see them do a Sonic anime during the 2010s unless it was very silly, I guess

(Blue box is the show that I think is either airing or just finished bc it started this season)

I hope the latter
ashen flower
If we are getting a sonic anime how will it be handled?
hopefully way better than Prime even if it ends up mid
viral mortar
rugged tulip
I want them to make an original story that is very respectful of the source material
Like the recent shorts
amber mortar
*magenta* haired girl was shown in early 2022 hmm
Hmm
rugged tulip
The blueprint is right there
amber mortar
Get ur shit right next time 
rugged tulip
To be fair, their ideas for her back in 2022 could be changed at this point
amber mortar
Or else

funny how some gave up thinking she mattered much
and then suddenly fucking movie 3 of all places
amber mortar
Idk TMS isn't that small
True
dusty lotus
SEGA really gives no fuck
SEGA can just casually show something no one ever expect LMAO
median sequoia
I don't think it's an anime tbh
ashen flower
"ah nah she was def scrapped"
dusty lotus
"Are we going to have 1:1 Adaptation?"
SEGA: No have Gerald being alive
"Amy, Silver, Rouge, Metal Sonic next!?"
SEGA: lol nope have the purple haired girl being cameo
Audience: WTFFFFFF!?
echo ravine
"ah nah she was def scrapped"
No one ever said she was scrapped though, Ian always asserted that there were plans for her
dusty lotus
Like this fucking company is really something
But yeah there is a very good chance we'll actually see her much sooner
median sequoia
I don't think it's an anime tbh
Cause that'd only be like..2 years of development.
viral mortar
actually doesn't Tyson work on the tailstube's too
dusty lotus
But my guess is the next sonic game next year
rugged tulip
I just had no clue at this point when she would appear, but the last thing that I was expecting was another tease in a blockbuster movie

Which was March 2022
amber mortar
Honestly idk
If sega were to make another sonic animz
Imo it'd be a 25 ep one shot
median sequoia
Then I'd be very surprised that they'd give it a greenlight before frontiers drop & reception in Japan.
Considering X wasn't inherently the strongest in its home country. But anime appealing/focused towards the west isn't impossible either, so anything is plausible
rugged tulip
But don’t they normally announce new anime stuff to be in production right away before we have to wait a year or so?
paper cradle
So they had finished character designs as early as 2 years and 7 months ago
dusty lotus
Essentially what I said earlier h3ylow lmao
ashen flower
Imo it'd be a 25 ep one shot
I'd bet even less eps than that
dusty lotus
I don't think sonic will even get something like Pokemon because no other video game adaptations are like that

Obviously yeah, but I can see a much bigger team than just superstar for a sonic anime
paper cradle
"Mostly" these people wouldn't nearly be enough
True, mostly meant like
Directors and stuff
dusty lotus
Now the real question I'll say this
Outside of the game chars, you'll think they'll use other chars?
rugged tulip
A good writer would be nice to have too because Iizuka ain’t it in my opinion
dusty lotus
Like the IDW chars,a nd such?
median sequoia
Always wanted studio orange for a sonic anime tbh.
Not the common suggestion, but I think they could do it.
rugged tulip
Since he is credited to have written the story of Superstars
dusty lotus
What did studio orange worked on btw?
dusty lotus
Since he is credited to have written the story of Superstars
........that explains a lot lmao
rugged tulip
Iizuka as a Sonic writer has good ideas for Sonic stories, but when he has to put this all together himself, the results left me confused….
Both with Superstars and Shadow 05
median sequoia
What did studio orange worked on btw?
Beastars, Trigun Stampede.
In that realm of stylized 3d anime. Kinda like what dark beginnings was, just more polished
dusty lotus
oh right I forgot he did shado 05 too LMAO

OH SHIT!
Nah I am 100% board with this

Land of the lustrous too*
But honestly i hope we don't get a studio like orange
paper cradle
Do we have the credits for this ?
Yeah, in the superstars credits
amber mortar
Also they have land of the lustrous to go back to
dusty lotus
Can easily do either post forces or post frontiers really
Since they are the most recent sonic wise
amber mortar
But nvm this, a 3d anime would completely defeat the purpose of choosing a japanese anim studio
- the japanese audience would care even less
paper cradle
The director for the superstars cutscenes, Toshihiko Masuda, seems to have pretty consistent animation credits until 2022
amber mortar
I feel like it.. depends over 3D anime
Not really
If 3d isn't popular there's a reason
paper cradle
(Though he storyboarded on 1 show that released in 2023)
median sequoia
Either way, sonic anime probably isn't moving mountains over in Japan.
It has a slight advantage in a post frontiers world, but not by a large margin.
paper cradle
But like, production schedule wise, it really lines up
amber mortar
If 3d isn't popular there's a reason
And it is oftenly seen as a cheap alternative to 2d
paper cradle
But like, production schedule wise, it really lines up
(For the director at least)
amber mortar
For example : people hated the fact that csm was animated in 3d in the csm anime
By people i mean western and japanese fans alike
dusty lotus
oh yeah I do remember people were complaining hard over it
dusty lotus
Yeah fair enough
A 2D Sonic anime will be more preferable
Outside of well.... mechs
dusty lotus
Yeah they have to be done in 3D regardless
paper cradle
(For the director at least)

leaning more over sister yeah
I feel like for superstar case the issue also lies in budget
amber mortar
Listen like half of the directing staff here animated on akira

We know one of Gerald's sons was into archeology, my bet is that that son was Maria's father, they had the sister, and the sister had this lady

Hiroaki noguchi, the animation director, animated this back in the 80s 😭
(According to Sakugabooru at least)
paper cradle
Like, almost 4 decades ago
So I do legit just think they didn't have time to fix that wrong hand
But they prob were aware
amber mortar
Well that's assuming bro didn't have a glow down like db's yamamuro
paper cradle
You don't forget animation principles man 😭
paper cradle
Timing in the superstars intro looks all wrong, and that's one of the main things that can take the longest to figure out on a shot
amber mortar
I'm just saying you could become less good because of fatigue
Or bad habits
amber mortar
Timing in the superstars intro looks all wrong, and that's one of the main thing...
Yes ik it looks all wrong that's why i assumed it was done by some newbies back then
paper cradle
I mean tbf it's def possible inbetweens were done by newbies
Might check later
But
Regardless a person who worked on a shot like that could make a polished anime if given more time and money
Also hiroaki noguchi was like by far the best animation director on sonic x

Just in japan

Just in japan
Yeah so 💀
paper cradle
But like, sonic x was pretty damn big internationally

Sonic anime incoming :)
yes please

Also I brought up sonic x just bc you said he should notice the issues with the sonic clones
Bc like

I will say nowadays a sonic anime will do remarkably better than back then
amber mortar
As i said, why bother with 3d which most anime fans don't like anyway

The episodes he directed have some good ass sonics

Since we are at that point where anime is huge towards international

dusty lotus
SEGA just gave no fuck and do what they want this year lmao
dusky garnet
The movie is still gonna like, have so much influence
dusty lotus
oh 100%
Especially with shadow
This helps a lot with Knuckles
Shadow will be no different either
dusky garnet
An anime finally, a full anime
dusty lotus
But real talk after with sonic 3 movie
dusky garnet
You guys better hope its an accesible form lol
dusty lotus
I get the feeling they'll think more idea over Shadow not rely on chaos emeralds anymore
amber mortar
We're still not sure but yeah if it's an anime we're so back

Like, by far the closest to uekawa art
(Satoshi Hirayama also has some good ass sonics, but they look less "uekawa sonic" and more "sonic x sonic" to me?)
ashen flower
We're still not sure but yeah if it's an anime we're so back
I'd call it a win too if this was an anime stylized new game
either way I'm eating well

Dear god not 3d PLEASE

Damn would yall really not want full length dark beginnings if it was a thing
ashen flower
I won't mind 3D cel shaded but it would need to be as good as the new trigun

There's a show on Netflix animated by them
Just smaller scale stuff
But idk man they wouldnt have 2 3D animated shows in production at the same time
Just kinda doesn't make much sense
dusty lotus
I'll say what helps is the timing
Where Sonic is b ecoming even bigger than it already was
If a Sonic anime is a thing, it'll get far better attention compared to Sonic X
paper cradle
But like timing on all the main superstars staff suspiciously lines up man I'm kinda convinced it's them
paper cradle
Ig it could be like
ashen flower
Is she gonna be relevant
yes

Is she gonna be relevant
She'd be like uncle chuck or smthng idk

Uncle Chuck makes sense
dusty lotus
Over what I see from the girl
I am leaning more over her being a researcher about Sonic's world
While she is very interested wanting to know about Sonic himself
paper cradle
Lupin part 7 and I got too deep into it 😭
Bc a lot of this staff also did lupin part 4/5/6
(6 released in 2021)
ashen flower
I kinda can't stop thinking of her maybe being sorta related to Eggman's family
amber mortar
Studio ghibli on the anime guys #trust

I kinda can't stop thinking of her maybe being sorta related to Eggman's family
She doesnt feel like a villain anymore lmaooo

She doesnt feel like a villain anymore lmaooo
doesn't have to be, Maria wasn't one either
dusky garnet
Maybe she could be like, the researcher part of the family

Honestly if she is a robotnik she can easily be a polar opposite to eggman
ashen flower
yea
like it's a bit narrow minded and all but idk the clothes are kinda throwing me off is all
paper cradle
Didn't see any of them on lupin zero which is from late 2022/early 2023
So that also lines up
night anvil
An Eggman connection would be obvious but it’d be fine
however, one of the people who worked on Shadow Gens says that they became more interested in exploring Eggman’s family tree recently, yeah? that might imply that the pink haired girl is seperate
amber mortar
They could be working on sd nidio
dusky garnet
like it's a bit narrow minded and all but idk the clothes are kinda throwing me ...
It looks very ARK like
dusty lotus
I'll be very happy if we get to know more about eggman family
dusky garnet
But also kinda jungle explorer like
ashen flower
But also kinda jungle explorer like
shouting at the choir but definitely getting archaeologist vibes
or someone who knows about relics and junk
dusty lotus
Exactly
ashen flower
jungle wouldn't be out of place for her yea
dusty lotus
It'll give her massive interest over wanting to know about Knuckles and Shadow
Considering both of their history
amber mortar
That's the so far staff that we know is working on sd
paper cradle
I'll try to compare this to superstars jn 5 Mins when I'm home
Looking this up on my phone takes so much longer than my PC
amber mortar
I'll try to compare this to superstars jn 5 Mins when I'm home
I'm switching bus so i can't do that either
ashen flower
She looks like she could be maybe lara croft like ig
that would be so cool
dusky garnet
Maybe less gunny but like, actually exploring sonics world and stuff and being like, actually a decent way to do some like, lore building in sonics world idk
dusty lotus
Again what I said earlier
I feel like it'll be a great way to utilize her while knowing more about Sonic's world
ashen flower
it'd be cool if she filled a role like Gerald but obviously didn't become destructive, just someone to carry his curiosity in the world within Sonic's
paper cradle
That's the *so far* staff that we know is working on sd
ok none of the animation/director staff here worked on superstars
not checking sound ppl bc i dont think thats super relevant

according the comment

0:07 - 0:09 Takashi Hashimoto
0:10 - End Masuda
and he also directed the superstars intro so again uh, i really wouldnt judge any of the staff based on that intro
lemme look through superstars key animators, so far only looked through the director/storyboard/episode direction/animation director credits
so toshihiko masuda (Director), Daisuke Sako (Episode direction), and Hiroaki Noguchi (Animation director) all worked as key animators
Shinpei Sawa is another key animator, has a lot of credits before 2022, in 2022 was a key animator on chainsaw man and then has no credits until "The Colors Within" which released in august this year
he worked on a lot of really good looking stuff though
A Silent Voice, Violet Evergarden, Suzume

Kanako Maru is the last key animator, worked on a lot of stuff until 2022, no credits since then

so like, three of them worked on maybe 1 shorter series or film that released in the last 2 years
and two of them on nothing at all
