63% Think A Second Season Of Boom Cartoon Will Happen
Another two weeks means another poll has come to a conclusion. We asked you on whether you thought that a second season of the Sonic Boom cartoon will happen or not.
720 of you voted. 63%, or 453 of those voters, think that a second season will happen. 21%, a total of 153 voters, are uncertain at the result. 16%, which was 114 voters, do not see a second season happening.
With the cartoon currently on a holiday hiatus, and with fifty-two eleven minute episodes planned for season one, it will be a while before the question will be answered. It is just one among many other questions that plague the Sonic franchise as 2014 draws to a close.
Speaking of 2014, the final poll of the year is now live. It will run for the rest of the month and then a new poll will go live on January 1st. However on December 31st there will be a couple of articles from me. One will be an end of year statement (I wouldn’t be surprised if Tristan had one of his own) and another will be a yearly article series I’ve done over at Sonic Paradox for three years now, “A Year In Supersonic Review”, where it’s time to look back at the top ten defining Sonic news stories of the year, to look back at the previous year’s predictions, and to make the predictions for the coming year.
As for the poll feel free to leave a comment on the previous poll and/or the current poll down below.

I’m surprised people are so optimistic about Sonic Boom.
It’s the cartoon that’s filled with quality that knows what the audience wants from it and it has a short runtime.
It gets the job done. No fuss, no muss.
The cartoon seems to be only thing. The new poll’s emerging results look pretty grim. I hate to say it, but I also agree with the majority in the new poll.
Everyone vote yes on the new poll

HAhaAHaHahHAHAhaHA XD
What the heck did I just watch?! XD
It only shows the desire of the people, not reality. It’s no use.
Yet the show’s popularity is determined by people’s desires.
It seems like it may win, given the high ratings.
Are people assuming that people voted “yes” to the last poll because they’re optimistic about Sonic Doom? Why? We all know the obscene amount of money Sega spent on the initiative, a second season is a given.
The cartoon is decent enough to warrant a second season. It would need to improve on a few things in that second season to really become something worth keeping around, but it’s worth taking a chance on at the very least.
Ths cartoon is nothing but a travesty that keeps this whole Boom sub-franchise failure still going (along with those fucking comics).
Soon enough, this cartoon will end up as The Looney Tunes Show (nothing against that show, but I need an example) : a huge hype in the first 3-4 months, then BAM ! Nobody will talk about it. Nobody will care about it. EVER AGAIN, but his inner fans.
Reasons ?
1) News on the next Sonic game.
2) A complete and total disinterest/lack of faith in current Sonic-related products.
A second season ? I’ll be more baffled if they succeed to air all 52 episodes. In the remote cae it will happen, it will be short. Extremely short.
“We all know the obscene amount of money Sega spent on the initiative”
Then, “we” all should know about the awful amount of money Sega has lost, lately.
Looney Tunes Show was pretty good, I think something screwy must have happened to warrant the sudden disappearance.
*sigh*
If anything, this show will fail because of false advertising.
I know you are like 100Rings and like to shoot this Sonic Boom in the foot with every waking moment one of these articles shows up on this site, but the show is what’s working well and I think NONE of us actually WANT to see Sonic die.
We’re angry, yes, because of what he’s become. We’re disappointed too by what the games became. We’re confused to why SEGA can’t seem to get their blue mascot ‘right’ after all these years but I don’t think we actually want to see him die out or go away.
If anything a lot of us just want to see ONE thing stick: anything and for now that’s how the cartoon is because well, like it or not, it’s doing pretty great in its ratings.
You don’t have to like it. But that’s just how it is.
The post of the comment section award goes to… MM2!
Because a mediocre cartoon that is the antithesis of what almost EVERYONE wants from the Sonic series is the perfect representation for a long itrelevant series that can’t even rack in respectable sales or casual interest from sugar-riddled, snot nosed chimps.
I would wholeheartedly agree.
We need things that no one wants to “stick” simplycause of the fact that….it must stick for te sake of sticking. Nevermind the almost universal ignorance by the mainstre CN watcher and the rejection from 98% of the fandom. That’s irrelevant. What matters is that Boom sticks.
Cling to anything Sonic vomits and pray itms a success and hope against hope that it doesn’t embarrass you as a fan INSTEAD of deanding better from the inept neanderthals at SEGA. Good strategy MM2! You are indeed a better fan than me. Please bless me with your eloquent usage of swear words. That is if I am even worthy of such an honor.
WATCH YOUR MOUTH! I am getting the deluxe figures for christmas. It’s part of the list, my friend! Remember it or not, I am talking about “the lack of sonic boom products”, sorry to talk like this, but I’m tellin’ the truth here.
Unfortunately I had to vote no on the new poll. As much as I like certain things that did come out of this year, I have to say the games overall were a disappointment. Shattered Crystal is OK, I might pick it up sometime, as well as ROL just to screw around and find glitches, but they’re not what I had hopes for. I think something really screwy happened behind the scenes with ROL that we’re not being told, and that pretty much compromised the entire game. It was a bit too ambitious for Cry Engine as well, they were really pushing it…
Anyhow. I have high hopes for 2015 onward.
Now, lets bring back Sonic’s old personality, shall we…?
I mean, it’s cool for Sonic to be worried about Tails in SLW, but… To doubt himself? Hell no. 😛
I didn’t think a second season would happen for numerous reasons. Here are a few.
Because:
*Sega of America is destined to be restructured
*Sonic boom will not gain the popularity it needs
*It airs at 7:00am
*The animators are not cheap Koreans animators
*The games have tarnished Sonic boom name
*Lack of advertisement
*Sega is too poor to afford a new season
*The graphics don’t look teen titan cheap.
*Extremist fan group seeking the failure of sonic boom.
If that were true then why is the show doing as well as it has this early on? This is the whole “Guardians of the Galaxy is going to flop because nobody knows who they are/reads their stories” argument all over again.
So on behalf of myself and nobody else because I won’t speak for everyone else: fuck off.
>Claims Sonic Boom is a success.
>Ratings prove that the show is watched almost exclusively by pre-existing adults within the fandom.
>The total amount of adult watchers barely reach a million.
>Kids are the minority demographic for a kid’s show.
Please disprove this MM2. And while doing so, please use more edgy swear words like an inept 13 year old who curses behind his mommy’s back. It was amusing in Shadow the Hedgehog and you do it even better than Shadow ever could.
Lol Friggin moron. xD
Sonic Boom is a successful saturday morning t.v. show
The Ratings prove that the show is mostly by it’s target demographic of boys 9-14 and by kids 6-11 and is among the highest rated programs during its timeslot
You clearly don’t know how t.v. ratings go
Kids are the only demographic for the show, if this was aimed at adults it wouldn’t be airing in the early morning of the weekend and wouldn’t be a cgi comedy about talking animals.
This week in ratings sonic boom raked in 1.420 Million Viewers, as a rerun, in the morning, on the weekend.

Please don’t act like you know how television works and call others morons, when you clearly don’t understand it, and just bash something you don’t understand because you hate it.
There was no need to call him a “Friggin moron” let alone a “moron”. Kindness is always appreciated.
Well, I guess the same goes for MM2 since he actually cursed.
You get the point.

You people make it too easy.
I voted “no” on the new poll. I almost actively hate Sonic now.
BUT I CAN’T RESIST THAT SERIES!
I constantly go back to playing Sonic Adventure and the Genesis games. This guy is irresistible.
Sonic Boom still sucks ass, though!
If you actively hate Sonic, why do you continue to post on this site? Seriously? You just like the drama.
Honestly the games sucked ass. But the cartoon and the comics are most likely going to stick around. Those are the good parts of this sub-franchise. And the ratings show it. I know it’ll come back first off it’s probably in hiatus due to the holidays. A lot shows have had thier mid-season finales and sonic boom just so happened to have started later in the year closer to the holidays. Hence why it’s so short. And for all you nay-sayers, Give it a rest already. Sonic boom is here to stay. Deal with it or don’t pay attention until sega announces the next modern sonic game, because remember this is only a spin off. If it were a full reboot the sonic movie sony is working on wouldn’t be based around modern sonic, nor would the main series comic books be around.
Donnie. Spam folder help please.
I named very valid reasons why a second season is unlikely. No sir, I will not fuck off. I shall fuck on.
LOLOLOLOL!!!!!
… LOL
I wish the “Not Sure” option wasn’t there… I want to pick either yes or no, but I don’t know which one to pick… so my eyes keep shifting to the “Not Sure” option.
The only reason I voted “Yes” on this poll was because I assumed that by “Second Season” they meant the “second season” coming in January, which will show the next 7-8 episodes.
Now that I see you mean a second season AFTER the already-planned 52 episodes, I will have to recant my vote. Sure, I believe the original 52 episodes will air as planned, but I don’t believe Sonic Boom will make it to a second season. Both the games have failed, the cartoon is the only thing keeping the entire Boom series from completely failing at this point.
But I believe it would be better if Sega spent their money on the main canon. Perhaps they should make a cartoon for the main canon- I’m sure it would garner even MORE support than the Sonic Boom cartoon. So long as it has a continuous storyline that’s well-written or at LEAST decently-written, and not a gag cartoon.
… Thank youuuu… 😛
I love Sonic Boom! Great show, helps me through my tougher days.
HOWEVER,
If it were to be more of a SA through Unleashed tone, I’d die and go to Sonic Heaven.
People get so butthurt over these Sonic Boom articles. LOL
If you’re so against it, there’s no need to make a snarky comment in the comments section. Just move on with your day.
If I’m right, a second season was already confirmed.
They’re calling it “more episodes.”
