As a kid I grew up with both, japanese and western Sonic designs, I liked both.I never liked the new lanky green eyed guy

>>12819170>Sonic owes me sex
>>12819035>t. mariotehplumber
>>12819035Western Sonic is clearly better
>>12819035Japanese Sonic gets BRUTALLY FrameMogged and Aura-mogged by Western Sonic after failing to Coolmax and GottaJuicemax
>>12820123>>12820125>using AIslop to try to make american Sonic look like the japanese artAnyway american sonic is still good in its Hanna Barbera style
>>12820165It's more like 80s-90s era Disney mascot style I don't really know why people make such an autistic difference, it amounts to three things. Slightly different shading, more aggressive expressions, and him having a mohawk vs more round hair tuftsAnd honestly, him looking more rude/tude is just his character anyway despite some people claiming different, Sonic literally makes the expressions in the game and mocks you for being slow. As for the hair, it's really the only thing noteworthy to discuss because it does create a difference, as an American kid, I used to think Sonics spindash was like "sharp", like a buzzsaw attack. I never considered he just like, bluntly smashes enemies apart until I saw the anime ova in like 1999, which of course was how it'd be blatantly displayed from Sonic Adventure onwards
>>12820205I still like both, that's what this thread is about.And to me western Sonic is more like the early 90s hanna barbera like Snorkels, Flintstones Kids and the like
>>12819170Wise question
They are barely different.
>>12820257Did they really see fit to use the Ren & Stimpy font for that?
>>12819035Japanese Sonic is the same as it was since. Sonic Adventure. American Sonic changed from Satam to Colors multiple times.
JapClassic is good, but Gregnic still owns.
>>12820257Is there some reason they couldn't be bothered to try to keep the localized cover art on-model?
>>12819242>>Sonic owes me sexYes
>>12824575>Yank audiences still hate the Japanese because of a war from 40+ years ago o algo>I must demonize anime and Japanese style box art Boomers were restarted
>>12820257>>12824575>>12822508This one sticks out especially in my memory because I discovered Pocky and Rocky through ROM packs so even as a kid I knew the American art was fucked. I loved the Japanese art because of how adorable it was (yes I was a faggot) and even when I was 10 I knew that the American art looked absolutely nothing like the game. Were they afraid kids would grow up to be lolicons if they saw the original artwork while playing it? Because they were right.
>>12824587Why does the ofuda say "adult"?
If You Don't Like The Western Art For Pocky & Rocky That Just Means You Have Shit Taste And That's Your Problem Not Mine So Toodaloo Till We Meet Again
>>12826847Sponsored post by the people who ruined Club Penguin and ToonTown. Aka Disney.>>12824587The Japanese art is better and is perfect.
>>12826847kek
>>12824587This looks gay as shit and you should be beat up if you played this faggy shit
>>12819170I LIEK SPEED FULL THROTTLE GLASS IN MY VEINS
>>12819035green eyes sonic works for the settings they put him in but i really wouldve liked to see sonic adventure on the saturn with the old design and general vibe the series was going for at the time
>>12824586Uh nah.Anime didn't appeal to a generation who grew up on masculine media, I'm sorry you can't sell chibi or overly cute/girly shit to a little boy who likes this. I'm that person grown up, and I can tell you as a little kid I wouldn't have thought Kirby for example was very cool Then there's the fact that anime was viewed very differently before your generation, I was into anime before toonami when it was much more adult oriented, and yeah it was creepy shit for weirdosThen you have the fact that anime looked cheap. I don't care what aesthetics you prefer, but if you compare any typical anime any typical western cartoon in the early to mid 90s, you're going to notice how the animation is severely limited, the "only the mouths move" thing isn't an exaggeration, it's literally the case for most non high budget anime. And I say this as someone who doesn't care if shonen has gotten better because I only watch anime from the 80s to 00s, so I'm not saying it from a perspective of someone who can't cope, it's literally objective
>>12828630To add on this, nu weebs literally owe everything to us from the 80s and 90s Anime was viewed widely as weird and low budget, because it was. That doesn't change the fact that our generations were the original weebs anyway who liked it. Japan was a huge source of fascination in the 80s-90s, this is the era of anime becoming culty popular, the era of metal bands wearing Japanese print T-shirts, the ninja craze surpassing the kung fu craze of the 70s, and martial arts mania peaking with fighting games and shit like The Karate Kid. So sit down dumbass zoomer, your society is dumber than ours on every level
>>12819035Robotnik looks like a pedo there ngl
>>12820205>urban millennial couples
SONIC on the super chronic
>>12830728what
>>12830873He's an old man looking childlike and whimsical/silly, that's basically the most pedo energy possible like Captain Kangaroo or, any clown.
>>12824376What controller is he holding?
>>12831140The blast doppler
>>12819035I prefer the Japanese designs and I think it's weird how they had to redraw everything for the US market. Despite the covers I still associate the JP designs more with sonic mentally cause that's what he actually looked like in the games anyways.
>>12831981Literally the only difference in designs is is quills
>>12830728Why did you think PEDOman kidnapped Tails (2 8-bit) and Amy?
>>12820257what the fuck that is hideous, i hate americans so much its unreal
>>12828630instead they like an ugly newyork woman with a mole? there was no reason for this change kek
>>12819035https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zmcEuocbSMAPH0Cdu0neR7qOYrOad6dB_PXEnPRM24YBut we’re playing modded Sonic 2, I’m playing as Megaman X.>I thought you liked Sonic.In this world, but not as a playable character, he controls like molasses. Fastest supersonic hedgehog alive gets hit by a coconut falling at 6ft/2m a second, are you kidding me?I’m too old and wise for blind love.>Oh in that case I’m playing as Lilac, her airtime is amazing, it renders pitfalls useless. I wish I had that back on the NES. God I hate Prince of Persia on the NES.アーメン to that, kiddo.Gaming tip: Don’t hold your controller in your hands. Hold your controller on the floor so all your fingers have access to it like a keyboard, instead of just your thumbs. Don’t say I don’t fulfill my EI(Educational Information) quota, TV. >Wanna play some VS mode?HELL NO. Those switch boxes are broken. I don’t want to lose to you like Sonic did.After this we can play Jazz Jackrabbit 2 PvP instead. It actually has guns in it and the characters react on time.>Whoah all these games on your PC I never heard of. Nitronic Rush, Distance, Warframe, Spark The Electric Jester THERE’S 3 OF THEM? I only heard of Freedom Planet. What are all these games?Actual good Sonic games. And actual 3D Megaman games.

the sonic universe might also be classified as
>>12835390Sonics universe regardless of iteration may in fact be the most uncanny and logicistal mirror of our own present dimension in fact there is a theory among the enlightened that it is in fact another world we can reach through frequencential manipulation
>>12819035We all know movie Sonic is the one destined to unite Sonic into a single and cohesive design finally.
