My angry Agent Stone senses are tingling...

I still find it so amusing that Lisa did Lina both before and after this was dubbed so in the 2000s SLAYERS seasons you could hear her trying to pitch her voice back down for Lina in the early episodes!

...also this in not to insult Jason as a VA. I still feel the same way about Richard Ian Cox's Ranma who then graduated to be the DEFINITIVE voice for Inuyasha!

"We have all afternoon to duke it out buddy boy!"
Yeah, it took Jason Griffith a minute to find his Sonic voice. All his other VAs kinda got it on the first go, it took him a moment.

I've kinda been noticing this on this dub rewatch but certain shots looks like they came out of WB Kids-era shows that had TMS do some of their episodes!

I do NOT know how Andrew Rannells pitched his voice so high to play Bokkun. Yes, THIS Andrew Rannells!

Yes, Ella is voiced by Mike Pollack (Robotnik/Eggman) in this version...which makes THIS waaaay more awkward.

"...and return to where we came from."
It's SO weird how the Mario re-canonized Mario and Luigi's Brooklyn origins but SEGA is giving the word "Mobius" a HUUUUUUUUGE berth despite it being in most of Sonic media for a long time.

Okay, we're doing #SonicX all over again only this time it's the 4Kids dub! This version I'm mainly gonna focus on commentary on the 4Kids actors and the script!

"Good meeting you, Christopher."
Is it weird the 4Kids dub just UPS the Stranger Danger vibes?

I'm about to link Sonic X to male bondage! Hear me out. The voice director in Andrew Rannells best known for his work in the Book of Mormon! He's married to Tuc Watkins who had very KINKY scenes in some popular soap operas!

"We have to bring him back, right away!"
Is it just me or is the dub kinda upping Chris' attachment to Sonic already? I feel like it was more of a slow burn in the Japanese version.

It also doesn't help that Lisa voiced Lina Inverse and I like it when she voiced short tempered characters with a hair trigger for violence!
#SonicX #SonicTheHedgehog #4KidsDub #Episode3 #AnimeRetroRewatch @digiranma.bsky.social

Also gonna reiterate this that Lisa Ortiz's Amy the Hedgehog is my DEFINITIVE voice for her as this is the one that was in my head for the Archie run from Sonic Adventure until the cancellation.

Also this dub was when the New York 4Kids cast had started voicing the characters that would carry over in the games starting with Shadow the Hedgehog in November of 2005 until Sonic Colors in 2010.

One thing I have noticed is in the dub the 4Kids music kind of drowns out the voice acting. Seeing this wasn't an issue with Ultimate Muscle I can't help but wonder if SEGA kinda had a role in this.

Also yes, I did just watch the previous 2 episodes from last week so we are starting on Episode 3 proper!
