SEGA is taking advantage of Sonic X’s growing fanbase, along with feedback intended for the Sonic Boom show writers, to make a brand new Sonic anime.

SEGA explained the show’s plot, which they said is “very straight-forward”. The show is not a sequel to Sonic X, but it will involve the Sonic cast being transported to Earth by the Chaos Emeralds. This time, however, they decide to fit into human society by attending high school. Their sensei will be Princess Elise. While the gang try to fit in, Tails will double as a student at the school while sorting out the gang’s situation at home over some green tea. Sonic will try to get his senpai, a chili-dog, to notice him. Amy will eventually find her long-lost nii-san. Shadow will wear a Hawaiian shirt. Eggman, too old for high school, will run for President. Knuckles will take advantage of social media to guard the Master Emerald, courtesy of selfies. We have learned from SEGA that one of the captions for his images, an example of the anime’s writing style, was “hanging out with someone more important than you…b-baka!”

SEGA has decided to reveal an exclusive bit of info of us, thanks to a rep we spoke to. We have learned that, in the anime, Sonic will lick a Switch cartridge. More details will come soon, but it’s clear that SEGA is going all out with the writing for this show, which will premiere in 2018 on Crunchyroll.

This is fake dude. It’s a joke

Would be better than Sonic Boom.

I read the tittle and got SUPRE excited.

then I read the actual article and… I hate this day.

Still would be more entertaining than Sonic Boom,

The thing that a good number of people want. And the other part that doesn’t care would probably still react to it better than Sonic Boom.

wouldn’t it technically be the 3rd sonic anime?
The first being the ova/movie, the second being Sonic X, and the third one being the one mentioned in this April fools joke?

Guy, this has to be a joke. You know today is right?

Dr. Eggman CAN’T win! He only cares about the top 1% who have IQs of 300 just like him! Not my president!!

Sonic and friends in highschool is actually a common setting for Sonic fanfictions.

It’s a miracle!

And then I realizedit’s April Fool’s Day and that the community is full of a bunch of Sonic X haters.

But seriously, I can write an actually decent Sonic anime. Want it to be faithful to the games? Fine! Want more focus on other Sonic characters than the blue blur hogging the spotlight? Fine! Hate human characters like Chris Thorndyke? He’s gone, and so are the rest of his friends! Hate the flanderization done in Sonic X? It’s gone, never again!

But before I can do any of that (if given the chance), I have to piece together the Sonic timeline into something that makes sense.
