For years I've always wanted to hear what Sonic the Hedgehog would sound like if he was to speak in Korean because it is my native language. However, to my knowledge the Korean versions of all Sonic games retained either the Japanese or English voice cast; they never re-did the voices in Korean.

But finally, Sonic X hit TV stations in Korea on a channel called "Jei", which airs numerous other anime, just last month in June. I discovered this today and was extremely excited.

This YouTube user has been uploading the episodes that have aired so far. Check them out! (Note: there are no subtitles.)

Sonic's voice is nasal-y and squeaky and more attitude-filled than the Japanese/English voice, and I LIKE it! I expected the voices to be quite awful, because (believe it or not) Korean dubs are typically far worse than American dubs, but I was pleasantly surprised. The voices are actually pretty good, or at least that's my opinion. XD And the script seems to follow the Japanese script a lot more closely than the 4Kids dub. It's nice to have a reason to rewatch Sonic X, and in my (barely) second language!

I just wonder why it took this long for them to dub it in Korea; the Sonic series, though not nearly as popular it is in the US, Europe, or in Japan, is still quite popular in Korea.

Anyway be amused! Laugh! Enjoy! Or hate Sonic X all over again! XD

And for those who still want a chance to contact me over the ShadAmy project thingy, feel free to still take the opportunity. Read or re-read my last journal entry for more details. Edit: I think I may have selected my partner; awaiting her final response. Thank you to everyone who expressed interest in the project!
