Better subbed than dubbed
29 June 2000
When i saw these pair of videos, (which were apparently paired together for the official US release), they were special order from Japan, and weren't dubbed or even subtitled. You had to guess what was going on. It was interesting. It took years for the Sonic anime to make it over here. Sega wanted five arms and three legs for it, so it was tied up legally. When anime gets dubbed, sometimes alot of stuff is cut out for US audiences. Censorship is poison. And it's out of control. Aside from that, the videos were fairly decent. I am sure the characters would be far more interesting with English subtitles than totally dubbed. I believe the DVD version allows you to watch it in Japanese with subtitles, but I could be wrong. Knuckles is an interesting character. He was never featured in the US tv series for fear of stealing the spotlight off the main character; Sonic. I can only hope that more anime videos will be made in the future.
