About Sonic X in brief
Sonic X is a Japanese anime television series based on Sega’s Sonic the Hedgehog video game series. The series initially ran for 52 episodes, broadcasting on TV Tokyo from April 6, 2003 to March 28, 2004. A further 26 episodes aired in the United States, Canada, Europe, and the Middle East from 2005 to 2006. The show’s merchandise included an edutainment video game for the Leapster, a trading card game, a comic book series featuring an original storyline, and various toys and other items. Sonic X received mixed reviews. Generally, writers criticized its American localization and some characters, but praised its story and aesthetics. The series was popular in the U.S. and France, though less so in its native Japan. It was also popular in France and the UK, but not as much as in the Netherlands and Germany, where it ran for more than a year. The final story arc sees the friends return with Chris to their world, where they enter outer space with a newfound plant-like creature named Cosmo and fight an army of aliens called the Metarex. It is the last episode of the series, which was broadcast in Japan from April to March 2004. It has been released in North America by TMS Entertainment under partnership with Sega and Sonic Team, and directed by Hajime Kamegaki. The English dub of Sonic X was released by 4Kids Entertainment on October 1, 2014. It features the characters of Sonic, Tails, Amy, Cream, and Cheese, as well as Big the Cat, Rouge the Bat, Knuckles the Echidna and the Chaotix to Earth, the parallel-universe version of their world with humans.
Sonic and his friends repeatedly scuffle for the Emeralds with Doctor Eggman, his robot assistants, and his larger, armed robots. The anthropomorphic residents soon join the crusade and, when Eggman is defeated, they are all hailed as heroes. Shortly afterwards, Eggman finds his grandfather Gerald Robotnik’s diary and Gerald’s old project Shadow in a military base. He threatens to use a weapon called the Eclipse Cannon to destroy Earth unless they submit to his rule. Sonic uses the Chaos Emeralds to become Super Sonic, who defeats Chaos, who returns to the Master Emerald with Tikal. The animals team up and work together to shut down Space Colony ARK except Shadow, who is unsympathetic and believes he has fulfilled his purpose of killing Maria in order to exact revenge of his Granddaughter Maria after she was killed in a raid on a government building. They all build up a good rapport with Chris’ family and with his friends Danny, Francis, and Helen. Sonic is chased by the police, escapes into a mansion’s swimming pool, and is rescued by a twelve-year-old boy named Chris Thorndyke, who lives there with his movie-star mother Lindsey, corporate executive father Nelson, scientist grandfather Chuck, African-American maid and chef Ella, and Japanese butler Tanaka.
