Why is Sonic so unpopular in Japan? Like, seriously, he’s got only two non-canon anime—X and OVA—and that’s it. Not even counting the recent Shadow mini-anime. What’s the deal? Is it just a cultural thing, or did SEGA drop the ball that hard over there?

I mean, Sonic’s huge in the West, but in Japan, he’s like... barely a blip. No big anime series, no mainstream appeal, nothing. Even his games don’t sell as well there. What gives? Is it the design? The tone? The fact that Mario absolutely dominates?

Discuss.

Bro, SEGA of America low-key did more for the Sonic franchise than SEGA Japan ever did when it came to non-game content. The real issue was that the two branches barely communicated, so the lore got split into completely different canons. Japan had most of the main games, the OVA, Sonic X, and some manga—solid stuff, but kinda niche. Meanwhile, the West got Archie Sonic, SatAM, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Underground, and way more.

And let’s be real—the American side of Sonic was way bigger, wilder, and more hype. Japan had Mario completely overshadow Sonic as their platformer king, but over here? Sonic wasn’t just a game character; he was a full-blown multimedia icon, thanks to SEGA of America going all-out with cartoons, comics, and merch. The Japanese side kept it tight with games and anime, but the West turned Sonic into a whole cultural wave.

All those things Americans added made Sonic’s world ugly. To me, Sonic 1, CD, OVA are the most important whether they were good or not. Because a lot of the American Sonic content is pure BS that doesn’t fit within the scope set by the games. It was just to make money off children. Maybe that’s why it wasn’t perceived as well there.



Hey anons, it's me, the Amnesia Wind thread OP (https://endchan.org/AM/res/35942.html). Gotta talk about Chainsaw Man, 'cause holy hell, why'd Fujimoto kill off EVERYONE? Power, Aki, Angel Demon, Himeno... it's like he enjoys breaking our hearts. Power and her cat Meowy (prolly dead too, f) were the chaotic duo we didn't deserve. Aki's whole arc with the Gun Devil? Straight-up soul-crushing. Angel Demon's quiet tragedy got me, and Himeno's death was just... ugh, too real.

Feels a lot like Suyi from Amnesia Wind, y'know? She was fighting through that crazy world, only to get taken out. Or Cosmo from Sonic X, going full sacrifice mode for the greater good. And get this, Chainsaw Man has a Cosmo too, and she's ALSO dead. Fujimoto's out here trolling with these names, I swear.

He's just merciless, man. No chill. Compare that to Blade, Vampire Hunter D, Dante, or Hellboy. Those guys are all "yeah, I'm a demon/vampire, but I'll help humans out." Chainsaw Man? Devils are like, "Nah, let's just eat 'em." No collab, just carnage.

And Makima? Bet she's gonna pull some reality-reset nonsense. They hinted at Power and Aki returning, but we got nothing. Himeno and Angel Demon? Still gone. Maybe Fujimoto's waiting for a fan poll to decide who lives, lol.

P.S. If we pump up their popularity enough, maybe Fujimoto'll bring 'em back. Makima died and got a comeback, so why not Power, Aki, or the others? C'mon, Fujimoto, give us hope.

Lol, if we really want some character back, we gotta start grinding ourselves — fanfics, flashmobs, petitions, maybe even politely hit up the author. Just gotta keep it legal, no copyright or law-breaking dumb shit.

Remember #SaveCosmo? That actually got Cosmo a cameo, and maybe soon full canon status. So yeah, collective action works if we’re smart about it.

Dragon Ball DAIMA was really, REALLY good, so I decided to go back and watch Super, and it was fine up until Gokū Black. After that, just what the actual fuck my /AM/igos?

I'm on Episode 107 now, which is near the end, THANKFULLY. 

How the fuck did they get so pressed for ideas that they went to, "SO, uh, yeah, like, Son Gokū wants to fight stronger opponents, so he, like, grooms the God of All Universes into also being obsessed with fighting and starts getting entire universes of multiple planets filled with intelligent life erased from existence to flush out the strongest fighters possible!"?

Seriously, WHAT?! And we're supposed to cheer this on somehow?!

What the actual FUCK, dude? How do you even write something this horrible?
