SEGA has announced a slew of media projects which are coming to Netflix and they involve Crazy Taxi, Sonic the Hedgehog and Stranger than Heaven. The one that fans will most likely be looking forward to the most is a new Sonic animated series mastermind by Carlos Stevens and Toru Nakahara. Here’s more details on what to expect:
“The show will present Sonic and his friends as heroes for an upper pre-school audience, touted as a “high-voltage, comedic, yet emotionally grounded series built for kids who want to feel a little edge, a little attitude, and a lot of ‘that’s my crew’ wish fulfillment.”
“Great games already have what every adaptation is chasing — characters people love, worlds they know by heart, and fandoms that show up,” said Brandon Riegg, VP of nonfiction and transmedia at Netflix, in a statement. “With ‘Crazy Taxi,’ ‘Sonic’ and ‘Stranger Than Heaven,’ we get to work across three completely different eras of Sega’s catalog, celebrating everything fans love, while introducing them to new audiences.”
Toru Nakahara, head producer at Sega, commented: “Expect something cute yet cool for ‘Sonic,’ hilariously crazy for ‘Crazy Taxi’ and a badass action drama for ‘Stranger Than Heaven,’ because we’ve got some amazing creative ideas lined up and we are just getting started. The whole team is absolutely thrilled!”
Yea yea yea yea YEAH!
Watch that show getting cancelled. Or turned into another Sonic Prime (as in a mid show with a very small budget). I miss stuff like Sonic X. It wasn’t perfect, but it had SOMETHING.
Sonic X had an entire episode about the GUN soldier who shot Maria having guilt and trauma associated with the event. It was still a kid’s show, but they had some pretty heavy themes that they weren’t shy of talking about here and there. Miss that show.
Kinda bummed that we aren’t getting a new Sonic anime but hey at least the kids are getting something. Oh and find my pages
If netflix and sega actually do follow through with this deal, i really want the next sonic series to go back to 2d animation instead of 3D.
A new Sonic TV show for an upper-pre school audience? Might as well say a new Sonic show for the majority of the fan base
Hahahah got em 😂
A new Sonic series maybe exciting but will it be worth appealing to fans?
Never trust doctors on the internet.
No more comments.
Are you telling yourself that?
A crazy taxi movie? I love that idea, it’s stupid, but it will probally be a dumb fun movie to watch with friends.
Is this one supposed to be canon too, and characterize him as a stupid idiot that everyone gets mad at?
No. Just no.
I hope the sonic Series is copy and paste of the 2D animated shorts they show on their YouTube channel especially like the Shadow one
Get the singer from The Offspring in the Crazy Taxi movie somehow. He was in Idle Hands so he’s acted s bit before. Would be a fun cameo.
