At first I was glad to hear there was another Sonic cartoon coming. I liked the ABC show and the Adv. of Sonic show and thought this would be just as good or better. Well I was wrong. It's not bad as far as cartoons are concerned, but compared to the other Sonic shows, it stinks. The main reason is the lack of Tails and the other characters from the ABC show. The premise is also very hard to swallow. It's worth the occasional viewing, but not worth constant watching.
