Sonic Animated series (SATAM) IS OUT!!
Extra features according to Amazon:
The Classic series back in the 1990's is finally coming on DVD! This is one of my favourite childhood cartoon series, and I always hoped that it will return some day in some form, be it DVD, a new season, or a game. My first wish has been granted. Support this series and buy the DVD! Might send Sega a message that THIS is how a good Sonic concept and story should be done. If this sells, there may even be a chance that this continuity can end up in the games or a new season/movie to continue where it left off! And to Adventure of Sonic fans, buying this set may get the series on DVD too! And if not, you can still own this collection and relive the memories of how awesome Sonic was. A time when Sonic wasn't starring in glitchy games, a time when Sally wasn't butchered in Archie Comics, a time when Sonic was way past cool. Get it on March 27th! And spread the word! Jam it back in, in the dark.  { :: ~ Air - the 1000th Summer ~ :: } :: That sea went on forever, into the blue distance :: * That road went on forever, continuing straight ahead * ~ : Summer comes again, shining silver : ~ : When I close my eyes, suddenly I can see that day's blue sky :

Well, the show was cool in its concept, overall plot and voice acting. There are really episodes that were gems to me and some that were wastes of budget and time. But for me, this was what Sonic was about and what I grew up on.
Orin who did art I cropped in my sig made a rant on the on going wars between fandoms. http://orin.deviantart.com/journal/11236926/?offset=80 Adventures was a more zany cartoon for kids, with whacky animation going on, which was fine for the kiddies like me before SATAM aired in Hong Kong. Sonic X has its bad and downs (I watch the JP voices cause I don't even wanna see what 4 kids did to butcher it) and I find it enjoyable, and loved the darker direction the latest season has taken. The animation was top notch and everything, yet to me SATAM was what I really loved about Sonic. The idea that they have been at war. fighting for their freedom for years since they were kids was powerful for me, and Sally is a much more stronger character than Amy in my opinion. (Cept Archie's incarnation) I believe there is good and bad in all of the incarnations, however, I always felt that SATAM was the one that struck me as the most poweful and memorable. And the games? Well argue all you want, and its ok if you like the story and human characters in it, but no matter what you say, nothing can defend a glitchy game that has a mediocre gameplay design. Its not an issue with Sonic, its an issue with Sega not knowing how to make good games anymore. In the end, Sonic is still Sonic despite the multi fandoms, but if a glitchy game is getting attention, I say its fair trade to let the classics get their turn for a comeback. And who knows, people like the poster above can watch it again and see if they change their minds about it. There's nowhere I can't reach. { :: ~ Air - the 1000th Summer ~ :: } :: That sea went on forever, into the blue distance :: * That road went on forever, continuing straight ahead * ~ : Summer comes again, shining silver : ~ : When I close my eyes, suddenly I can see that day's blue sky :

I first watched adventures, which I was entertained mostly as a kid, but when the last episode aired, they immediatly started playing SATAM the next day, the pilot episode, and I was sold immediatly.
Then the real better animated episodes aired and I fell in love with it. I am grateful to whoever bought and aired SATAM in Hong Kong. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. { :: ~ Air - the 1000th Summer ~ :: } :: That sea went on forever, into the blue distance :: * That road went on forever, continuing straight ahead * ~ : Summer comes again, shining silver : ~ : When I close my eyes, suddenly I can see that day's blue sky :

The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog is also getting a DVD box set release. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? { :: ~ Air - the 1000th Summer ~ :: } :: That sea went on forever, into the blue distance :: * That road went on forever, continuing straight ahead * ~ : Summer comes again, shining silver : ~ : When I close my eyes, suddenly I can see that day's blue sky : |

Sonic Underground DID have a DVD box set released. But I guess its only region 2.
http://www.amazon.com/Sonic-Undergro.../dp/B0002XOYSY I only watched SU just to hear Jaleel White as Sonic to bring back SATAM nostalgia, lack of dose from Satam made me sad. I was speaking idiomatically. { :: ~ Air - the 1000th Summer ~ :: } :: That sea went on forever, into the blue distance :: * That road went on forever, continuing straight ahead * ~ : Summer comes again, shining silver : ~ : When I close my eyes, suddenly I can see that day's blue sky : |

NEWS! There are reports that some fans got their SATAM DVD sets at Best Buy already, seems like they released earlier than most retails.
So if there's a Best Buy Near you, go check out to see if the DVD is out! What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? { :: ~ Air - the 1000th Summer ~ :: } :: That sea went on forever, into the blue distance :: * That road went on forever, continuing straight ahead * ~ : Summer comes again, shining silver : ~ : When I close my eyes, suddenly I can see that day's blue sky : |

The artwork, aside from the cover, are done by FANS of the show. There was a fanart contest back then for the DVD.
Anyone mind taking a few photos of the set so I can see which fanart made it to the boxset? My boyfriend is buying it, and seeing as around next year we're gonna be living together, we wanna avoid getting duplicate copies of DVDs or games, and we so far are long distance.

Ok, whoever has the DVD has to tell me this, anything interesting in the interviews with Ben Hurst and Jaleel White?
If you upload the videos, even better. Oh lord if someone can just upload the whole damn DVD I would be grateful, I'm not gonna buy the set because of the above reasons from the previous post. Or at least one episode so I can check out the quality (One with alot of Sally!) , all the easter eggs and extra features. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? { :: ~ Air - the 1000th Summer ~ :: } :: That sea went on forever, into the blue distance :: * That road went on forever, continuing straight ahead * ~ : Summer comes again, shining silver : ~ : When I close my eyes, suddenly I can see that day's blue sky :
