It'd be nice to tell them to end off the fiscal year we got a big boy bame

#

That game is likely P4R next year.

#

And think in terms of SegaSammy Holdings.

#

Sonic is usually a Q3 king due to Christmas and the West

loud zinc
#

Sega haven’t releases a mainline game in the first half of the year since heroes

sturdy wedge
#

RGG or Atlus tend to be Q4

loud zinc
#

Ever since it’s been nov/dec

sturdy wedge
#

I was saying that Sonic wouldn't be Q4

loud zinc
sturdy wedge
#

Something else would be Q4, Sonic won't fill that.

#

Even if it's near Sonic 4.

#

4 months from Sonic 4 is good, I think by the end of 2026 we'll be in Sonic 4 marketing hype

sturdy wedge
#

Q3 FY2027 push on Sonic marketing to emphasize Sonic 4.

#

Now, the thing is where are the other titles lining up.

#

Same problem with Persona, which I'm also kinda sorta involved with.

loud zinc
#

People also forgetting another sonic animated series is in the works too

#

That could easily be another 2026 thing

sturdy wedge
#

Wouldn't be surprised, 2026 would be go time just like for Persona, 35th anniversary.

#

30th anniversary for Persona.

loud zinc
# sturdy wedge Really now

I mean I have my sources due to knowing people , but if you don’t wanna believe, another reputable person (predominantly marvel related) reported on it 6 months ago

#

Lemme find the tweet

sturdy wedge
#

I do also have my folks but they're well, more unconventional.

#

And I'm guilty of not prioritizing getting news from these folks lol

#

If someone still was able to talk to Ryan from the Bronx they'd try to squeeze all the news they could out of him.

#

That someone not being me lol

loud zinc
sturdy wedge
#

Makes sense.

#

Honestly folks if there's anything to do now it'd be wait for the next Central

#

I'm chillin, it ain't 2020 any more when there's a drought.

#

if nothing else im just sad that if this is real and he does know about it its 100% not japanese 😭

coarse ferry
#

I feel like next year it’ll be mainly VF6, frontiers 2, persona 6, and JSR

sturdy wedge
mint umbra
#

we are never getting another sonic anime vectorRunners

sturdy wedge
#

If there's anyone in the entire world who knows it's me 💀 💀

sturdy wedge
#

We'll see

#

Super game stuff is... in a pickle?

coarse ferry
#

Yeah that’s fair

#

I’m only just guessing

sturdy wedge
#

The missus was talking about that the other day I think

loud zinc
#

Yes we are. He’s reputable, just bc he was wrong abt the sonic 3 trailer being out in July doesn’t mean he’s not been accurate abt everything else

mint umbra
sturdy wedge
mint umbra
#

it seems like its happening pretty much as intended isnt it

loud zinc
sturdy wedge
#

They ain't quite sure what to do with these.

mint umbra
#

new shinobi game coming out real soon

#

and it looks very good

sturdy wedge
#

Crazy Taxi, JSR and PSO specifically.

sturdy wedge
#

You don't know the start of people selling info 💀

loud zinc
#

That’s why he posted the real one on his Twitter

#

To kinda compensate for his mistake

#

@sturdy wedge do yk anything abt the sonic prime stuff in crossworlds?

sturdy wedge
loud zinc
#

I hope prime sonic is acc there I wanna hear deven Mack in the game

#

As sonic

sturdy wedge
#

What I do know and what might interest @hexed wraith is Square's activities next week

#

Thank you sire

#

Anywho regarding Sonic I admit I'm a little rusty.

#

I know there was a girl who told me, gimme a moment

#

So I assume the next animated series, their announcements would be determined by the creators and distributors

mint umbra
#

like, if its comissioned by netflix/paramount+ or any other streamer, it might be announced on their terms

sturdy wedge
mint umbra
#

but it could also just be coming to netflix or paramount+ but not necessarily initially comissioned by them, which might give sega more freedom on where they'd announce it

#

and regardless i think prime was announced on twitter partially bc they had no other format to announce it in

#

the last SXSW was in 2019 before prime was announced bc of covid

#

and the central only came months later

past matrix
#

That's what I hope is the case; that & SEGA seems pretty tight knit with collaborating with other companies for certain things to be showcased on the central.

#

But that's until we get there ofc. Who knows

loud zinc
mint umbra
#

even if they didnt show the trailers themselves, they seem to at least get unique featurettes from paramount to use in centrals

past matrix
#

I just wonder if this new series is a response to how Prime was received by fans/the creative team putting their ear into how the fandom felt about the shortcomings of the show.

mint umbra
#

so i could see a show, being a smaller scale project usually, getting an entire reveal in a central from paramount easily

mint umbra
#

could also be with wildbrain animating again honestly

#

i could see it being a 2D production under powerhouse bc of all of their previous sonic projects

#

but i feel like theyre working on a lot of stuff rn, idk if that would really be viable for them

past matrix
#

If it is 3D, I don't think it'd be a stretch too see it be within that same animation pipeline as dark beginnings.

#

Considering the response too how it was in presentation; I'm not sure if it'd be exact or even the same studio, but I don't think it went unnoticed.

prime hearth
#

I could easily see a new series by wildbrain considering the pipeline and models/rigs/etc are already in place

#

and I mean, its not an entirely unworkable situation, they just need a better writing team and not to make it much longer than it needs to be and they’re sorted

pulsar horizon
#

Steve meets Sonic

prime hearth
pulsar horizon
#

In said episode they trash talk Mario

sturdy wedge
#

Been a minute

mint umbra
#

maybe they'd want to try making it a shorter series, but the dark beginnings pipeline included both some of the best 2D animators in the US doing very detailed storyboards, and a really good seperate chinese studio

#

its not IMPOSSIBLE but im not sure theyd be the ones to fund it?

#
  • itd be pretty hard finding a studio on the level of simage doing that style based in the US
wide portal
#

I need a show that doesn’t look as disgustingly pastel and stretchy as sonic prime

mint umbra
#

my stupid coping mind is still hoping its an anime

#

ill take one by tms

#

its not impossible 😭

#

my best evidence is that the "episode director" and storyboard artist of the superstars OP hasn't worked on anything since directing lupin zero in 2022 (Daisuke SAKŌ)

#

SO LIKE

#

idk

#

maybe theres a slight chance its

#

a sonic

#

and not another project

#

but yeah no idk

mint umbra
#

i dont think its likely but like

#

its kinda maybe sorta possible

prime hearth
#

remembers the quality of the superstars intro mmmmmmmaybe I’d be okay with him not on a sonic project lol

mint umbra
#

i really wouldnt take the quality of that specifically as indicative of any animator or artist that worked on it

#

like half of the key animators worked on ghibli films

#

or akira

#

i havent seen lupin zero but it doesnt look bad at all either

#

i like the vibe

#

using filters and limited colors to get it looking like something from the 70s is a sick artistic choice

rugged otter
#

I'd be cool with a new anime so long as it's obviously better looking than X

mint umbra
#

since seemingly a lot of the staff working lupin zero did the superstars op, i wonder if its partially the reason it also kinda had a vintage looking filter?

#

not nearly as present as here

#

but it def had a bit of post processing

#

i think its the look of the lineart

#

its kinda similar

rugged otter
#

I'd like to see those animators given another shot, idk the dev of Superstars nor the specifics but wouldn't be surprised if any oddities with the intro might not be a guarantee if they already have some experience with the blue guy now

mint umbra
#

i think its very evident that they just had a very quick production on the intro

#

you dont get stuff like a flipped hand with staff as experienced as this staff if they have enough time to review and fix the work

#
  • in general a lot of the camera movement etc just really feel like they were rushed
#

i will say i could def see the sonic design itself being more loose actually being an intentional design choice

rugged otter
#

Yeah even if they aren't used to animating sonic or friends, even then those issues seem more like time constraints otherwise it wouldn't explain their previous work being of better quality

mint umbra
#

yep

#

even the only inbetweener here worked on akira, your name, princess mononoke etc

#

and the early production material here looks really solid too

#

do wish there was a credit on the character designer specifically

rugged otter
#

yeah it's a shame

mint umbra
#

obviously the expectation that a full show would manage to look better than this 1 min opening is a little silly

#

but having more time, resources and staff could make a huge difference

#

but it could also be the exact same case as sonic x

#

(which many of the staff here also worked on)

#

so yeah idk

untold kayak
#

I don't really trust tms

#

Like I could leave it with X being a fluke

#

But then Superstars intro and some of the animated cutscenes also suffered of that to different extents so I have to wonder what makes then struggle with Sonic so much, specially the latter given they were shorts in comparison and not a full lenghty animated project

#

Doesn't help that we also got Trio of Troubles around the same time and that looks marginally better

rugged otter
#

I imagine the way things are managed between those two things might be a bit different

mint umbra
#

i think it really was just a case of rushed production

#

and yeah

rugged otter
#

as one is probably running off marketing budget and the other is part of the game

mint umbra
#

the powerhouse animated shorts def get more time in the oven if i had to guess

#

and yeah, difference between which budget it's running off of

#

bc theres absolutely no reason these guys couldnt draw sonic well

#

half of them were working on specifically the anime that inspired ohshima initially

#

ghibli films, lupin stuff, a lot of american cartoons in the 80s and 90s too

#

and the few bits that could have more time spent on them looked good too imo, like look at this tails still

#

the scratchy detail on the plane here feels like exactly the sorta thing that, if they had time, they'd add all across the animation

#

but they didnt

#

and in general id say a lot of the bad animation came from bad timing and the CG background animation being odd there

#

i think another reason the style isnt 100% working for me is that they were clearly asked to reference tyson hesse's sonic mania animation designs

#

as opposed to being allowed to properly explore their own design sensibilities

untold kayak
#

I mean, Even when they used an adaptation of a design with Japanese sensibilities they didn't draw it all that well

mint umbra
#

like they straight up 1-1 reference this old art by tyson for the archie mega drive comic he drew

mint umbra
#

the actual character designer on the show drew sonic pretty well, and he was a lot more on-model on episodes that he animation directed

#

satoshi hirayama is the character designer btw

#

he drew the famous thumbs up sonic too

#

comparisons between animation directors here really shows you how much it affects the animation lol

torn trench
#

Some of these are

mint umbra
#

the character designs themselves for sonic X are legit peak when drawn by him

#

but sonic x was also, clearly, stretched very thin in production

rugged otter
mint umbra
#

the small bits of good sakuga clearly show that extremely talented staff WAS there, just, not capable of doing good stuff

#

also one of the best examples of why this staff could actually do well with american sonic designs if given resources is that

rugged otter
#

fortunately if there was a new anime, it'd probably be around 11-12 eps and would hopefully be budgeted and managed appropriately

mint umbra
#

they animated the ONLY good looking animation in aosth lmao

#

ok

#

like

#

some stuff not by them looks fine

#

but any actual smooth animation is done by them

Hm fair enough

specifically him

oh also apparently he animated the opening too

#

this is what his myanimelist page says lmao

#

we have no credits for it but im like 100% sure he also worked on sonic man of the year

#

he was like the main guy from TMS who worked on animaniacs

#

and that short looks a ton like animaniacs specifically

untold kayak

Really?

yeah

idk the source for him specifically filling in miyazakis role

but looking at his work on lupin, right after miyazaki left TMS, i can totally see it

untold kayak
#

Ooooh

#

Nice

mint umbra
#

bc it was animated by TMS

mint umbra
#

you can look at this

#

and see the quality of his work 40 years ago

#

and going by his other work on recent stuff its not like he degraded in skill or anything

#

and the picture of "he had an absurdly small budget and amount of time to direct the superstars op" becomes pretty clear

untold kayak
#

I Guess that is My only fear

#

That they give it a small budget or not much time again

mint umbra
#

Yup

#

The thing is that this could happen for sonic at any other studio too

past matrix
#

I know a lot of people bring up trigger for a plausible sonic anime.

#

I would still love to see studio orange go for it, in my dream world.

untold kayak
#

What are the works of Orange again?

past matrix
#

Trigun stampede & Beastars

#

So fucking clean

#

It'd essentially be more of what dark beginnings was

untold kayak
#

ooooh

coarse ferry
#

Hard agreed

#

I feel like studio orange is best fit for Sonic

mint umbra
#

I'd absolutely adore an anime by them, yeah

lunar trench
thick tinsel
#

Honestly I feel like a Sonic anime is a matter of if not when

#

It will eventually happen

mint umbra
#

Did you mean "when not if"

coarse ferry
#

Just that I just don't think studios trigger is best suited for sonic at all

dawn pumice
#

Honestly

#

I think the best one is Science Saru

past matrix
#

I get the correlation of why most people want it, because trigger is very stylish.
Which one could argue sonic has been lacking in areas as of recently.

#

And or they just really like trigger

mint umbra
#

I think really most studios have staff that could do a good sonic

mint umbra
#

It really depends more on the specific director or producer or animation director

coarse ferry
#

Honestly yeah there is also that too. Certain studios may have something that suits sonic but may falter

dawn pumice
#

Mappa and WiT are never touching the sonic series, even with a 20ft pole

Bones ain’t doing it
Studio Trigger I somehow doubt

Only possible studios we got are really just

Powerhouse
Science Saru (even then I doubt cuz of DanDanDan)
SEGA’s internal anime studio

lunar trench
mint umbra
#

I feel like pre-dandadan science saru could easily have been the studio to handle a sonic show, but the type of international praise a show like that gets you makes me kinda doubt they'd be willing to do licensed work again?

lunar trench
mint umbra
#

Though it's equally likely that an anime like that would cause them to want to expand their staff so idk

torn trench
mint umbra
#

Oh one thing to note about TMS

#

Currently they're getting a lot of mixed and negative reception due to the Sakamoto days anime not looking particularly special

torn trench
mint umbra
#

But it's worth noting that it was animated by a different studio under TMS than the superstars OP, which was animated by the branch generally considered to have much better staff

torn trench
#

I haven't seen an actual good counterpoint to why they wouldn't be a good choice other than preference

prime hearth
mint umbra
#

I mean yeah but that's hardly what I mean by "licensed work"

#

Obviously adaptations of popular manga are gonna be done by big studios

pulsar horizon
prime hearth
#

think they’re getting more and more unlikely less cos they won’t do licensed work anymore and more cos they’re just super-busy atm lol

mint umbra
#

Sonic isn't that

prime hearth

it’s like how Flying Bark prolly won’t be on the cards to do sonic (as much as I’d love em to) cos they’ve been sent to the Avatar mines lol

OH YEAH I forgot about that LOL

#

I hope we get the four tmnt

coarse ferry
#

4 different chars in each slot 💀

#

I love TMNT don't get me wrong but it's always been a major issue with them

untold kayak
#

they all share a single slot, but they did changes to adequate their fighting styles

#

it's what they did to add Mr. Freeze into the game, combining him with Captain Cold

coarse ferry
#

If they do that then th at's fine

untold kayak
#

or Vixen, using Cheetah

#

I think that, if they add them like this, it won't be a problem

#

you'll have essentially 4 charcters but combined in a single slot

#

and only need to tweak animations and what not

coarse ferry
#

I feel like it helps is that they all share the same models

untold kayak
#

Yeah, it's the same but tweaked in the headbands and weapons

#

and I'm sure they'll keep them as cohesive as they can here from an art style point of view

Though

it's funny to see a couple of my moots wanting to kill Spongebob

My obvious KCA prediction: SpongeBob is gonna win Favorite Animated Show / Cartoon / Animated Series for the 17th year in a row and the 22nd time overall.

dawn pumice

#

Basically it’s weird that we are seeing an orange ring shooting out slime when we haven’t seen any different colored ring like that before

#

And the colors of the slime and the ring being very closely related to Nickelodeon

untold kayak
#

Yeah. Even from Sonic 1 the rings always had yellow tones

#

never this orange tonality

cunning echo
#

Dude I could be gaming

untold kayak
#

This is their current logo but the splash and such are meant to represent childish rebelry

#

which makes the addition of slime more fitting

rugged otter
#

I do find it odd that besides the Slime ring, the Warp ring is also not a golden yellow colour

dawn pumice
#

Could be that different franchises are different ring colors

#

Sega comes from blue

#

Nickelodeon comes from orange

#

Sonic comes from yellow

rugged otter
#

I just assumed that any ring with a "harmful" role would just get a more red colour

rugged otter
dawn pumice
#

Don’t think we have one?

I'm like

I'm tired so I can't really evaluate 💀

the idea of spongebob and sonic collabing gives me the idea that sonic becomes less cool when he collabs with spongebob

coarse ferry
#

Spongebob is essentially Nickelodeon's biggest show there is

grand cobalt
#

yeah SpongeBob is a big part of meme culture but I feel like everyone knows he’s from a kids show as well 😭

coarse ferry
#

yeah

grand cobalt
#

ok fine im not getting into a debate over SpongeBob

coarse ferry
#

Yeah besides the point

#

I'll say it's normal for sonic collabing a series that is more associated with kids

I love TMNT but I am more of questioned is HOW they'll handle the slot amount

is this just internet brain

coarse ferry

This has always been the biggest issue when it comes to TMNT

This got me thinking though… how powerful is Dodon Pa? Cause how does he know about the TMNT world and SpongeBob world?

because I genuinely cannot understand having that mindset for SpongeBob

#

yes he’s a popular meme culture character

You do realize there is a clear difference between internet people and irl people

For me it's not really a meme thing, but I think I get it when it comes to terminally online people

I mean it’s not the first time that we’ve had a Sonic and SpongeBob crossover

NAH THAT END PART WAS AMAZING LMAO

this was so surreal

Look joking or not, I just rather have SEGA chars and lesser known sonic chars instead of hanging other companies being involved

That's all

put in my scrimblo and they can force all the non sega crossover characters they want

A wasted slot tends to be a doomposting mindset anyways

by the nature of this game they essentially have infinite slots

the roster limit is just when the game stops printing money

As a funny Sonic rep let’s put in Irish the hedgehog and have Jack return to voice him

Only one I will say is very weird to say which is Persona. They could either go with Joker, Aigis, or focusing all 3 main protags

My question being, who is this for tho ? Like are they gonna get sales because sponge bob is in the game ?

because kids still love SpongeBob I think

I am just more of naming examples tbf kit

Since Persona is a very tough one to say

Guess they wanted other guests or idw characters. I dunno. I think sega wants this game to be big and paramount is a partner they have in their multimedia dealings. Having some paramount characters show up is fine. My only issue is i would have preferred the turtles crossover with sonic in a something more similar to the dc situation
