"Sonikku, ganbatte!"
("Hang on, Sonic!")
Sonic has become an international phenomenon. In addition to the
TWO
animated series that helped him gain popularity in the United
States,
there is also an animated series about Sonic in Japan. As with
Japanese
animation in general called anime (pronounced
"ah-knee-may"), it can
be wilder than its American counterpart while managing to retain
certain Japanese
characteristics of style and substance.
Sonic fans owe a HUGE debt to Alessandro Sanasi (aka Tyro) for
typing
up synopses of the first two Sonic anime episodes. To
date, the
only version of the tape available is in Japanese, and even then
you're more likely to come across a second- or third-hand dub via
a fan
than the original. So enjoy!
