Sonic X

Sonic X (ソニックX Sonikku Ekkessu) is an anime television series based on the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series published by Sega. It was created by Sonic Team and produced in Japan by TMS Entertainment. The series originally aired in Japan between April 6, 2003 and April 18, 2005, consisting of 78 episodes. The series aired in the United States between August 23, 2003 and May 6, 2006.

Dubbing History
4Kids Entertainment handled the show's American localization. The episodes were heavily edited for content and length; 4Kids has been described by Destructoid as being "infamous" among anime fans for this type of overzealous editing. 4Kids removed alcohol consumption, coarse language, instances of breaking the fourth wall, and numerous sexual innuendos. Unlike some other series that 4Kids translated around the time, Sonic X suffered no full episodes being cut. Producer Michael J. Haigney personally disliked realistic violence in children's programs, but had not intended to make massive changes himself. Instead, he was bound by Fox Broadcasting Company's strict guidelines, which forbid content such as smoking and strong violence.

4Kids found new voice actors rather than using those from the games, with auditions beginning in early 2003. Beginning with Shadow the Hedgehog, the cast of Sonic X would assume their respective voice roles in all Sonic games released between 2005 and 2010, at which point all the roles were recast with the exception of Mike Pollock as Eggman.
