The Myth Of Shonen Sonic
The Shonen Sonic debate is another thing that pisses me off. Sonic the Hedgehog is a stupid twat who was produced is SEGA’s grimy lab in Japan. Sonic has become undoubtedly, one of the most recognisable characters ever, and one of the main reasons for that is SEGA wanted to pursue a mascot that was going to be “a bit hit in America” as the former president of SEGA Of Japan, Hayao Nakayama declared to all his staff working at SEGA at the time. And while success in Japan was obviously still a priority for SEGA, it was concluded that an attractive American property which still be appealing in Japan. The point of this video really is to undermine the view that Sonic the Hedgehog is a Shonen character. Well, he is a Shonen character, but it’s complicated. It all boils down to the fact that the hivemind of the Sonic community doesn’t actually understand what Shonen is, so the result is we get stupid takes which claim Sonic was initially a super epic Dragon Ball Z knockoff, to becoming a Saturday Morning Cartoon Show for babies, and in my opinion, I don’t know which option would be worse.
