The Sonic Boom games on the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U have stirred up all mixed opinions from Sonic fans, but the TV show that the games are based on appears to be doing quite well. Data provided by TV By The Numbers shows that the cartoon is holding its own against the competition and sits at the number one spot on Saturday mornings. This in turn should help boost the game’s sales.
Saturday Morning saw year-to-year gains among all targeted demos, ranging from +9% to +17%. Sonic Boom (7a) and Pokemon the Series XY (8a) premieres ranked #1 in their respective time periods among boys 6-11/9-14. Premieres of both series were up across all targeted demos vs. the same time period year ago, ranging from +46% to +73%.
What channel are they airing them?
Cartoon Network

the 3d solid animations seem to be generic for cartoons these days. sonic boom is actually a 7.0/10 cartoon.
yes, 3d animation seems to be generic. I enjoy all types of animation, classic, 3d or flash. Personally, i did some animations in flash when i was in the college. at least you know how hard can it be?. creating the clips, as i remember, every character i created in flash was like a spearate movie that i had to post in the timeline and use in other movie or flash file.
i would not call 3d animation generic but rather a trend.
Of course you give it 7.0/10 because “It’s not Call of Duty” – IGN
That’s been overused in Facebook for years
And its still true and happening. IGN keeps reviewing other better games with lower scores like OR/AS 7.8 for HAVING TOO MUCH WATER…when Hoenn is a fucking island region but never complained about it from the original games 11 years ago and they still give a shitty COD on rinse and repeat BS since 2003, 9.0+ out of ten even though Ghosts is complete shit, MW3’s multiplayer is fucking terrible and Advanced Warfare is BROKEN on launch day despite having one more year of development time.
“Facebook”
pls.
Like people here aren’t brainless sheep.
And now this idiot knows everything about animation. pathetic.
Atually is good to see the old Poop King Dr. Robotnik and New Knuckles have a spotligh due his new personality. Also Amy or as i call her, Knuckalina.
So she got the job? XD
It’s probably not going to help the game. Rise of Lyric isn’t very good, and this is coming from someone who likes the majority of 3D Sonic games.
However, the cartoon is really good. Good action and humor.
I get the feeling you’re underestimating just how many ignorant parents there are out there; many of them are sure to pick up one of the games for their kids at some point, if the kids see it and beg.
Poor kids…
Damn it Big Red Button, why did you release this before truly finishing it?!
Probably because they couldn’t reach the deadline. I think Sega should have allowed them to keep working, but they rushed BRB to finish it to release along with the cartoon.
I watch it on YouTube before Sega takes down the videos.
I downloaded all of the episodes so far because I’m not waking up before 7am to watch this. They should’ve pushed the showtime to a later timeframe so they can get more viewers but as always, Sega and Cartoon Network don’t fucking think.
Sonic is such a bad mascot.
Actually no. Current Crash Bandicoot is. lol
Bad games don’t make a bad mascot; Sonic is still pretty cool.
He’s just being mishandled by his owners.
Betcha Sega would have more luck with his games if Nintendo took direct control of producing two or three of them. The closest they’ve gotten is Colors and Lost World, and those still weren’t handled entirely by Nintendo.
I would want this cartoon to continue for 2, possibly 3 seasons instead of letting that garbage video game version continue to sell its slow, broken ass. And I have no doubt there are some idiots out there actually blaming Wii U for making this game suck. No. A console doesn’t make video games (although it’ll be kickass if it does but make fun and content rich games like Smash Bros. on its own) and its the studio behind those games who failed to execute a brilliant idea while at the same time respect its classic fundamentals that make the series work like in this case: Sonic’s speed and exhilarating gameplay which is not present in Boom. At least Lost World respects Sonic better even though it took a step backwards but Boom took several steps backwards and over the edge of a mountain side.

Good, because I find this much more enjoyable than the ever repetitive Pokemon anime these days. Sticks and Eggman are arguably the stars of the show that makes it enjoyable.
I miss the old Pokemon animes…
Yeah, they were actually great with all the emotional moments and more strategic battles in the past. These days, Pikachu is too overpowered for his own good and Ash would lose once in a while a little too. much. Then there’s the damn show stealing Pokemon like Piplup and Snivy…. (So annoying).
I think the Pokemon anime would’ve been better if it was based of of the manga instead. That way, it’s not the same old Ash and Pikachu garbage, but instead a new take for each region.
Sonic Boom and Pokemon XY are both good shows. I wake up every Saturday to watch them.

I never really got to watch a episode of it because I sleep in on Saturdays. It is good it is doing well though.

I think it’s wonderful the series is doing so well. It’s great to have Sonic and his friends back in another adventure that’s enjoyable and humourous. I have watched every episode so far and their new appearances have also grown on me. Personally, I really am liking Sonic Boom and am pleased it’s doing well. It deserves some praise.
BS! That show is SUPID!!
