I also thought the comment about how they "had to take sonic out of the band for the american audience" was weird. How is that in any way risque? In fact it seems like more of an american trait than japanese. Also, how exactly did they "soften" him as far as the character design went? His eyes were more agressive in the sonic 1 cover design than anything I've seen of him from Japan. I also thought it was interesting how they said the japanese style just wouldn't sell well here, and 5 years later kids are obsessed with anime stuff (pokemon) and american cartoons try to look japanese.
Yeah, but without those changes Sonic never would have caught on. Fangs? Come on.
I agree. I'm glad they re-imagined him for the US and international markets.

And did anyone else briefly think Brent Spiner was speaking in the video? Al Nilsen's voice reminded me of Spiner!

Well I forgot about the fangs. That was rediculous. Although I only saw those in that one drawing.
