Why I prefer realistic humans in Sonic games

I try to defend the realistic humans in Sonic games and explain why it is that I personally favor them over the “stylized” ones in Unleashed and the Sonic Channel art.
All in all this isn’t a serious, argumentative essay video meant to spark debate as much as it’s just a lone guy sharing his own viewpoint and wanting to find likeminded people in the process. As I say in the video, if by the end you still feel the same then I would request that you just ignore this video. I know most people are gonna feel differently and I can’t change that.

I understand where you’re coming from and I respect your opinion. Also I wonder what Maria will look like in the SXS Gens animation.

I agrees so heavily with this sonic is an anime character. I don’t care what anyone says sonic x is an anime. Or at least it is in Japan, but there is so much anime with animals and humans coexisting along with humanoid animals. People just don’t understand that but I completely agree. Just giving realistic humans with a slight anime edge. This is why the games with the best art is adventure 2, adventure 1, shadow the hedgehog, 06,(although I do feel like P06 is doing really good job polishing it), and both storybook games. along with the music adding on top of it. Also, I like to say there’s this guy called ninj yang productions and his remaking some sonic soundtracks like 06 and shadow of the hedgehog and some fan ones and when I say remake, I mean remake it sounds extremely different from the songs with these songs, there are obviously someone that I think the originals are better, but there are also songs that I think surpassed the origin like shadows opening for 06 and shadow learning that Omega betray him and silvers future CGI opening. I feel like he surpassed the original with those but a lot of the time I think the original is better some I think are better so I think or not should definitely check it out. It’s called 06 re-energized and shadow the hedgehog remake soundtrack

This video proves all my points and answers everything I've always thought but was unsure of. Humans belong in Sonic, and I always loved how this could happen in OUR world if it were real.

This is my main problems to some games like Sid Meier's Civilization. In all Civ games (you probably not familiar with them) the leaders always look like actual humans even in pixel styles but then Civ6 came along and you guess it the people look like Disney Junior cartoons. Now we got Megamind 2 and boy you don't wanna watch that. Not only the story sucks but the animation looks straight out of a Disney Channel cartoon and the whole movie even feels like a long episode of Megamind Rules (again you're probably not familiar with it). Then we got SpongeBob where the character's styles always changes throughout every seasons. Say what you want on X-Men '97 but atleast it kept the styles of the characters and actually respects the original show "X-Men: The Animated Series".

Sonic to me is always more of a Disney character like say the sea animals in the little mermaid or simba from the lion king or a Pixar character.
He's a cartoon hedgehog but like thoses films he's at home interacting with humans or more serious stuff.
I think the mickey mouse or looney toons characters isn't a accurate comparison in my opinion.

[@anomaly395]

I only mentioned them because that's the characters I see people bring up when talking about Sonic's design. Plus he was initially inspired by those characters (namely Mickey Mouse and Felix the Cat).
But my overall point there was that I don't see Sonic as a typical cartoon character at all. Be it in the vein of Looney Tunes, Disney, etc. Like, it was to say that he's not another typical, wacky cartoon character basically.
