Sonic Mania Adventures

Sonic Mania Adventures manages to tell a very fun yet simple story with no dialogue whatsoever. The animation is incredible and I can't believe that level of effort is going in to something that is free online. It's because of the animation that we are able to see Sonic and company emote in such a cute and funny way, and also allows them to tell a story without using dialogue which is quite impressive. If only all these triggered modern Sonic fans could realize this. Good job spamming IMDB with 1 star ratings and marking any positive review of this show as unhelpful. Seriously guys, go get laid.

To keep this brief and prevent it from being a book instead of a review, I'll say these shorts are, in a word, magnificent. Without even utilizing voice lines or text bubbles, the creators are able to perfectly capture each of the character's personalities and, using classic Sonic music and sound effects make sure it has a true blue 'Sonic the Hedgehog' feel to it.

The characters are all expressive, vibrant and return to their more Classic representations, as opposed to the 'Sonic and his tag-a-long friends' vibe that comes off from some of the later Modern titles. Smooth animations with cartoonish fun, I think both young and old franchise fans can appreciate it.

So, a quick note that this is yet another post to counteract the salty Classic Sonic haters.

Sonic Mania Adventures is a delightful mini-series, the dynamic animation paired with the wonderful musical score and sound effects accent each action and shift of mood.

Downfall: It's a short series and each epsiode is only a few minutes long. Bummer.

This is an excellent charming cartoon full of life and color, with great animation along with it, contrasting the bland, lifeless, low budget animation of the current Sonic the Hedgehog series. It's known throughout the Sonic community at the moment that a bunch of butthurt children raided this page to drop negative reviews while skipping their English classes and dropping whatever negative words they know into a review, all because it isn't "Modern Sonic". Sonic is Sonic, and I urge people to review the show and give it the rating it deserves.

This series is comprised of five 3 minute episodes, closely based on the classic video games.

there is no voice acting, and the story is effectively told through movement, gestures, facial expressions, and music.

I feel that the first episode achieved the perfect tone for the series. it was reminiscent of Sonic's first cartoon outing; 'adventures of sonic the hedgehog'. his 'attitude' was fast, playful, and cheeky. while dr robotnik (or eggman as he's also known) was an intelligent villain, he wasn't to be taken too seriously. environments were colourful and the light plot didn't drag.

unfortunately as the series went on, it became violent - with too many characters added to keep track of. coincidentally, it mirrored exactly what happened to the game franchise after the original title.

if this series is to develop into anything bigger, I would suggest keeping things simple with a maximum of 3 characters (ideally sonic, tails, and robtnik), light with no fight scenes, fast, and most of all, fun! take cues from the first episode.
