Japanese Sonic Fans want Sonic X Episodes 53-78

Metal Man · 10-23-2008, 01:21 PM

It just so happens that even though a number of people disliked these episodes, the poor people in Japan who never got to see them in the first place would like to be able to do so. For Sonic X episodes 53-78 were released in the States and to an extent in Europe, but never made it to Japan, despite the fact the original work was done in Japanese.
Interest in these episodes indicates an untapped market for Sega, especially with regards to Sonic X. But it seems that all work on Sonic X whatsoever has ended, leaving us wondering: will SEGA respond, or will they ignore this, like (unfortunately) most fan attempts to get Sonic media from one region into another?

You can read a translation of their campaign here.

What do you think of Sonic X/the Season 2 episodes? Do you think Sega would ever actually give them these episodes to buy?

Weren't those the ones with Space, and Robots, and Cosmo and ****?

Man, I stopped watching when I saw a trailer for that.

^ Remember, they want the un-dubbed version IE: The version that doesn't suck.

How do you "undub" something? It was originally english, so technically it would be dubbed in Japanese.

also your comment screams "I ONLY WATCH ANIME IN IT'S NATURAL FORM. KAWAII DESU UGUU ^_^ ~~~~~~~"

Strange, considering I've seen the last few episodes in Japanese.

Spoiler Below

Where Cosmo's death is more dramatic as opposed to the 4kids "DOH-HO, I GUESS I KILL YOU IF YOU WANT ME TO, COSMO".

They were made in Japanese, but only the English dubs were distributed.

Also, yeah... it sort of sucked... although the Japanese version has more bonuses for the older folk and people saavy about Japan's culture.

That is why all Anime is better in the original Japanese.
