They're all so good on Sonic Boom! But, I liken Sonic Boom to the 2012 Ninja Turtles series, which I think is one of the best Ninja Turtles animated TV shows ever. He's the funniest character on the show! Again, if you want something with more action, then Sonic X is your show. The characters are great, including Tails, voiced by the amazing Colleen O'Shaughnessy, but especially Dr. But, the Sonic Boom tie-in cartoon was the best thing to come out of that miserable situation.Įvery episode is its own separate storyline, sans a few, and it all plays out more like a sitcom than anything else. Remember how I mentioned that Sonic has seen some rough patches when it comes to his games? Well, the actual Sonic Boom video game is a testament to that statement.

The animation is pretty good, and the Resistance narrative tucked away in this story is reminiscent of some previous Sonic cartoons, but the way the season kind of ends – there are presently eight episodes, and according to Deadline a total of 24 episodes have been ordered, so we might get two more seasons, or just a continuation of this one with 16 more episodes – and the way the humor doesn’t always hit the right notes puts it at number 3 on this list.
