4Kids gives us a Sonic X subtitle preview
Andrew Paulson | July 9, 2009
4Kids gives us a taste of what most Sonic X fans have been wanting for awhile…
4Kids has taken a lot of blame in the Sonic community for their work on Sonic X, but it looks like they’re trying to make up for it. What many Sonic fans have wanted for a long time is to watch the original Japanese episodes of Sonic X, but with subtitles and original music. 4Kids is giving us a preview of a subtitled version of the episode Enter the Supersonic Hero.
4Kids mentions that this is a work-in-progress and that they would like to do more, so head over to their YouTube page to send them your comments. For those who live outside of the US, check out this viewable version of the YouTube video.

That was pretty cool. I could’ve done without the Sonic Boom definition.
Woah, this was unexpected…
I hope they think about having these subtitled and on dvd as well, i always wanted to buy the Japanese eps on dvd…but importing the originals is so expensive (around 20 bucks for 1 dvd, each).
Er, I can’t even watch it. Here it sais ‘an error has occurred’. So I click ‘watch on youtube’ but then it sais ‘not available in your country’.
Well that’s just charming -_-’
I never watched the Jap. version but this is awsome
not available in my country either ¬_¬
What is the bloody point in restricting country access?
I’m going to break down 4Kids! HQ doors and say “You know what you’ve done” and leave.
Haha! I’ve have all teh episodes of Sonic X ever made on japanese with english voices! I’ve been having them for eeerrr, more than 3 years or something!
So I don’t really care about this actually.
They can’t handwave away licencing and copyright issues between different parts of the world, before everyone here starts going into a blind rage at 4kids.
NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOO AWWWWWWWWWW ;;;;;;_________;;;;;;;;;
I CANT SEE IT BECAUSE OF MY F***** COUNTRY :’(
Here’s the same vid, but anyone can watch it regardless of your country that i uploaded for ppl outside the US.

Same here tails, -_-
they should make a new sonic show called sonic adventuer it will be cool
@phillip: in total agreement
With the new technology of today, a Sonic TV show would have some serious potential!
@ TailstheHedgehog & phillip, ur both right, those four shorts based on sonic unleashed just wasnt enough, im hoping sega animation studios [cant remember the exact name] decides go ahead and make a full on series. cw 4 kids, or cartoon network would gladly take it.
