However, lastly, consumerism is present due to the fact this CGI series is obviously yet another debut from the Sonic franchise alongside things like the Sonic merchandise, movies and games. The animation is fine, decent toning and design of characters and sets BUT I’ve spotted a few animating mistakes in a few episodes like Amy or Sticks missing eyeliner for a millisecond when they blink. Some of the messages the show sometimes puts out are really valuable in a child’s life watching this show (mostly being based on teamwork and working around problems) and the bond between the team of 5 proves to be unbreakable a lot of the time. On the good side though, romance is bare, just a few jokes here and there in reference to Sonic and Amy’s secretive feelings for each other (also maybe a few other characters here and there) and a whole episode in late Season 1 of Tails trying to get with his crush in town (Zoey) and the show has absolutely no swearing - crude language is limited to basic name-calling like “butt-head,” “egg-face,” “stupid” and “loser.” There is no drinking/drugs/smoking at all aswell. Thankfully, due to the cartoony theme of the show though, this is not much to worry about. The violence isn’t enormously worrying, no lasting injuries but every single episode robots get destroyed, lasers/bullets are fired, explosions are seen/heard and some of the robots may cause genuine terror to younger viewers below 9 (which is why I age rated the show 9+) with villagers running for their lives from the mass chaos. This creates a negative stigma of wasting food. All of the characters waste food - they always go to the burger place, MehBurger, in their town for all their food and when they have to go fight Eggman or when they leave, they throw all of it away, leave it behind, etc. The show also lacks any half decent role models just as much - Sonic is a worse role model than in previous debuts with Tails only following along in his footsteps, Knuckles has the IQ of a fly for no reason whatsoever, Amy is a bossy housewife with no true personality and Sticks is a mentally deluded/disturbed badger (thankfully she’s only exclusive to the Boom universe). The show lacks ANY educational value - watch the whole of Season 1 and tell me what you learnt by the end. This show is rather disappointing due to the multiple things I’m about to list.
