Great, now I’ll type up my 10 page, MLA Format, Times New Roman, 12 size font, double-spaced essay about it! Ahem… It’s really good and cool you should check it out Lmao all jokes aside Sonic RPG is pretty iconic I’m honestly surprised it wasn’t mentioned at all. Glad to see the Sonic, Shadow, and Silver show tho I thought I was the only one who remembered that 😂 Also they have a character Seelkadoom who is argued to be the one of the strongest (popular) sonic fan character it’s kind of insane lmao
It's that beautiful moment when classic and modern fans of Sonic, Mario, and DBZ came together and enjoyed something together. Almost unanimously at that!
Nazo Unleashed still is, and forever will be a classic. It literally defined the sonic fanbase for a time, dude. SPECIALLY on platforms like deviantart.
These old fan animation series have recently made a resurgence like smbz, Final fantasy Sonic, Nazo Unleashed with Wrath of Nazo and Sonic RPG I remember them from the late 2000s all and I’m glad they all came back Edit: Does anyone remember Victe Double S Animations?
I remember Nazo unleashed and SMBZ but there was also sonic in jaws and all those sprite videos like Demetrius96 gameschamp24 and coodoos17 with shadow unleashed, revenge of the tails doll, amd shade origins
@@DragonspineInfiniteZero I remember Revenge of the tails doll I also remember watching a similar animation involving Silver getting a symbiote and basically becoming Dark Sonic and another with him becoming a werehog
@@hattoripool1533 silver unleashed and also revenge of the tails doll he stole venom from a arcade prize counter after shadow got the staff of darkness, i think it was around when spiderman 3 came out
...what? No mention of Sonic RPG? Not even in the honorable mentions?! You _dare?!_ YOU *_DARE?!_* Jokes aside, if you haven't heard of it, _please_ look it up. The first 4 or so episodes may be the quintessential definition of the term "rough around the edges", but trust me, it is _really good._ Oh, and uh, I forgot to mention one thing that sets it apart from most of the fan projects here: IT'S _FINISHED._ IT HAD A _FINALE._ I know that doesn't sound special, but just _think_ about the number of fan projects you can definitively say that about.
@@LTDLetsPlays Seel was legit my favorite Sonic villain as a kid, looking back he was a pretty one dimensional DBZ villain not unlike most fan Villains but I still adore what he brought to the table.
the thing that really hits for me is the Sonic Stop Motion Series from Piplupfan77 I remember watching first few episodes when I was really young, and growing really attached to the characters and writing that took place in the series. And after several years, coming back to watch the final episode really put me in my feels As much as I hold Nazo Unleashed and Sonic Shorts to a very high pedestal, nothing will ever capture the feeling of the Sonic Stop-Motion Series
i havent watched that shit since i was literally in elementary school, over a decade ago, but from what i remember, i really enjoyed that stop motion series because of its sheer absurdity. i vaguely remember wario turning into some godzilla-like creature, or something similar? lmfao that shit was just wild, i gotta go rewatch it all now
Thanks so much for this retrospective. As a creator in the Stop Motion space, it was really refreshing to see it represented here alongside all these pillars of community fan projects. I feel like we're an often overlooked part of the fandom despite enduring and persisting for many years. Fantastic video! One day I hope a fan work can come along and surpass the incredibly high bar set by Tanic the Hedgehog.
I agree, unfortunately the sonic stop motion community doesn’t get the love it deserves, ESPECIALLY when considering how difficult stop motion is as a whole. What you and Piplupfan77 have done is truly incredible. I can’t wait to see more and thank you so much for the comment!
THIS VIDEO WAS AWESOME!! I've never seen the topic of Sonic fan content handled with such care and inclusion, seeing ya gush about SSMA and Nazo Unleashed in the same tone was absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for the mention too!! I was not expecting it, but it gave me a big ol' smile on my little face :)
Thank you so much for the positive feedback!! And quality breeds appreciation, I was happy to mention your animations, keep sonic stop motion going strong!
I really gotta thank piplupfan77 and Sonic Paradox for introducing the rest of the Sonic cast to me bc i didn’t get to play the adventure games or heroes when I was little so seeing them in their videos was such a fun experience
I miss the golden age. Nazo Unleashed, SMBZ, (Videos I watched of the New grounds upload) That Jason episode of the Sonic Shadow and Silver show has me dying every time I watch it lol Sonic shorts, Stop motion adventures. Ugh. I wish we could go back :) truly a time.
As a young lad, I searched for anything Sonic related back then. Be it via Newgrounds or TH-cam, I remember most of the stuff in this video. I grew up with a Wii, and played Secret Rings, Black Knight, Zero Gravity (you get the idea) and remember fondly those days on newgrounds even with our super slow internet back then. Good memories.
Thank you for giving a shoutout to the Sonic AMV community. So many people shit on us even though we just like Sonic and like to show it through our passion like everybody else.
Nice look back Nick. Sonic fans are a great, passionate bunch responsible for some of the best fan creations out there. There's something Sonic-related I had been working on, and you've helped bring me closer to the mood to finish it. Thank you.
Hi! I'm still around and doing silly Sonic things occasionally. Thank you for all those kind words! This was a wild trip down memory lane. Coodoo let me out of the shed to comment and I have to go back in now, but great video!
I'm literally a sprite animator because of all these guys you covered. It's insane how FANMADE Sonic content which is far from being canon can inspire so many people in so many ways!
God damn the nostalgia with this video is immense, I completely forgot about the sonic shadow and silver show but the second you brought it up, it clicked in my head along with many others, I’m surprised you didn’t cover the sonic rpg series as it’s easily some of the best fan made sonic things ever and was recently finished around a year ago, you ain’t even gotta make a video on it but I recommend you at least check it out if you can, there’s 10 whole parts.
I really hope this video gets a lot of traction, it's super well done. ...I also forgot the Sonic, Shadow and Silver Show existed so those memories are back now.
Hi, I'm the first Silver Voice from Sonic Stop Motion Adventures. I can't believe people still love the show and people even like my first take on the character.
The fact that I've seen, played and experienced all these fan content without being a full Sonic fan back then shows how much I was gonna be one in the future and after almost 8 years, I'm so happy to be one. ❤
No one ever mentions "Sonic's quest for power"(it also predates SMBZ) and it's a shame because it's one of the most earliest sprite animation and everything about it is just crazy awesome.
personally im an ask the sonic heroes advocate and i remember it like yesterday when i watched episode 1. team 182 have been and will be in my heart, tad upset to see that they werent here but theres so much to cover that i understand why they may not have been here. loved this video, it was amazing to have a good look-back on all these amazing animations, creators and games.
I'm so grateful that I was born in December of 2004, cause I was able to live through the two most recent eras of sonic and I'm able to have nostalgia from both 2000 and 2010's fan content and still be young enough to enjoy most recent content like the movies or comics. I love this franchise and (most of) it's community cause of how passionate they are.
I was July 2005 in the Bahamas, I didn't have a next gen console, and I got a 360 in 2012, and I played games online all the time. My childhood was Sonic 3, SA2, Gens, Unleashed, SMBZ, Nazo, Sonic Shorts all that jazz. and I wasn't old enough to care about the newest games at the time like LW or Boom until Forces.
For someone who were born in 2000 and got to experience all this, this really hit me home! Such a blast from the past from my time on Newgrounds and TH-cam! Thx for making the video I didn’t know I wanted ☺️
"This is some Code Lyoko shxt" is honestly the most shocking quote in Sonic Stop Motion Adventures because Code Lyoko referenced in a Sonic Fan Video is unprecedented.
A lot of the heavy hitters here were to be expected, but there were some deep cuts I'd forgotten about but rediscovered fond memories for all the same. (Forgot all about the scene creator and Sonic Q&A). A lot of these animations inspired me to make my own once upon a time.
Wow, that was an absolute trip down memory lane. Demetrius98 (?) was the sonic sprite creator I remember most. There was another one whose name was Hannah and was from Australia. She primarily used Tiara Boobowski as a stand in, but I don't remember the channel name. I was definitely into sonicsong182. I was always frustrated that a certain character I liked didn't get used in whatever was the newer game, so their content was great for letting me enjoy the characters more. Nazo and SMBZ will always be king though. Easily the best pieces of sonic media out there on sheer impact alone. I'm surprised there was no mention of the tails doll flash games, since it was a prominent character in the Sonic Paradox project and you mentioned Sonic.exe.
Dude literally made a video of my childhood. Growing up, I had no friends. But I had Sonic, and with my crappy computer, I had infinite Sonic fan content. I never felt alone because of this series. 💙
as a person who grew up in the era where fan content was mocked, this video meant a lot to me. i almost teared up at the end with a genuinely heartfelt montage of amvs and fanart i grew up on as a kid. seeing artists online make these beautiful reinditions of sonic in dramatic ways i couldn't ever envision (especially with myly14! i grew up with their works along with drawloverlala!), the editing and precision of stormreddeserts amvs, it inspired me a lot to become the artist i am today. thank you so much for this :)
newgrounds, now theres a blast from the past. I used to love going on there when in school and when i got home to play that sonic advance style game, and the one were you shoot them out of a canon. I miss those days.
14:08 Oh hey, I was a part of that channel for some time. You're right on the assumption that it's definitely more of a family-oriented thing than most fan content, for sure. Ask the Sonic Heores actually started off as a side-series for SonicSong182 but (as the view counts suggest) evolved into its flagship series over time. For me, since I played Big the Cat, it was just kind of a fun time to come up with silly lines since Big's nature allowed me to make all my answers comedic to some degree. It's too bad you didn't dig a little deeper because their content also covers areas like plush adventures (which was the main thing before AtSH took off), musicals, and some other stuff as well. Also the OG source for the Sonic, Shadow, and Silver shorts mentioned earlier is coodoo17, if nobody else mentioned that already. Was one of the first pieces of fan content I saw while getting into Sonic in the late 2000s.
god this was such a fun watch, incredible work on this nick, really. i loved the vast majority of these as a kid who spent HOURS absorbing sonic content on my family's pc in the late 2000s/early 2010s, so to revisit these as a college student through this video was SUCH a nice nostalgia trip. thank you
Watched about everything here mentioned and even the damn sonamy amv videos lmao it's nice remembering all these channels I used to watch and great to see how splendid the sonic community can be, great video man
I love to see the sonic fan community get so much love! Looking at this incredibly well done video it really shows how much this whole community has done, and makes me even more happy to be apart of it! We have to keep the sonic stop motion community alive as well as the rest of the community cause as time goes on the fans can only get better!!
I remember so many Things from this! However although it may only be from 2017-18 Era, Right here on TH-cam was a channel Called S Sonic. It was mostly Based on using the live chat system in which you could Roleplay. It was a fairly small community, But it still had a Charm in my heart coming after school to get on my iPad to Meet all of my friends online.
Holy crap, I actually know every single one of these things, maybe with the exception for AMVs shown and Kalisami’s and Myly14 amazing art. It is an amazing trip though memory lane. I feel like Shadow759 was the one that gave me the most inspiration. In fact, I think it was him that got me inspired to do the skits and fandubs that I do in my channel. Hope I can branch off into more ambitious projects in the future but for now, I got still room to grow.
💙💙💙This really was SO NOSTALGIC! The fandom that was shown is true proof that fans will never give up on Sonic! No matter how low his games start to go the fandom will always love him no matter what!💙💙💙
I just appreciate this side of Sonic's fandom, so creative, inspirational, entertaining and was part of a lot of childhoods, back in the day when the internet was wholesome, when we would spend hours watching content made by fans and for fans. Still, there is the dark side of the Sonic's fandom, and believe me, it's better not to see it.
This is my childhood in a video 😢 Heck I still dedicate a big portion of my life to Sonic, but this video really took me back to a fantastic time. I'm currently 23, and I don't think I'll ever just stop liking Sonic. My heart goes out to all of you that keep yourselves steadfast. Stay true blue (also do any of you out there remember the song "They call me Sonic"?)
Beautiful, simply beautiful. It was a blast being part of this video, you did such a great job dude! The best part was your “review” you gave Tanic, I BUSTED out laughing with how professional you made it! Keep up the absolutely amazing work dude!
I was messaging one of my friends for a short bit while I was listening to this video but AS SOON AS I SAW GMOD SONIC ON THE SCREEN I GOT SO HYPED THAT I MADE THE POG FACE UNINTENTIONALLY, I DIDN'T EXPECT YOU TO MENTION SONIC ZOMBIE EVEN THOUGH IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE BUT I'M SO HAPPY YOU DID XD Man that was such a nostalgic series from my childhood, thank you so much for this wonderful video! EDIT: OKAY YOU JUST SOMEHOW MANAGED TO SHOCK ME AGAIN HOLY SHIT I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT SONIC STOP MOTION ADVENTURES. EDIT 2: YESSSSSSS SMBZ WAS THE BEST THING EVER, also man the only reason why I adore Mecha Sonic is thanks to this series. This video is ridiculously nostalgic.
the Sonic Shadow and Silver show..... such words have not been uttered near me for over 15 years.... the sheer nostalgia from those words alone.... damn. just.... just damn.
Great video, definitely made me feel nostalgic. However, the two first images you credited me on were not done by me. (Also you mispelled my username haha)
The Sonic series is only rivaled by the Mario and Dragon Ball series with the amount of animations, games, sprite series, parodies, and comics that were made by fans. God, do I miss the 2000s era.
god, it’s so crazy thinking about how addicted i was to sonic when i was younger, and seeing this makes me think about the good ol days of just coming home and instantly watching sonic videos and fan games
i CHEERED when you brought up the shadow and silver series. i forgot the name of it and have been looking for it for years, i was so obsessed with it as a kid and i still think about it constantly. i used to sit in the watch party game on gaiaonline and do nothing but watch the sonic shorts animations and the shadow and silver series with random people, it was a blast. i miss mid-2000s internet
Bruh I remember never liking the sonic zombie series mainly because the animation always creeped me out whenever I tried to watch any of the videos. Mad respect to balena productions tho
7:31 I became a fan fo sonic colors in 2011 when I was 6 and I watched all the these nostalgic videos like nazo unleashed,sonic paradox and Sonic stop motion adventures
Sonic RPG was something not mentioned in here but was a really big part of my childhood and has an extremely similar vibe, play style (obviously), and impact on everyone!
Man, did i get hit with nostalgia seeing these again. Loved these as a kid. It's unfortunate to see RosytheRascal15 not be a part of it because i remember watching him a lot as a kid, too. Suprised i didn't see this video sooner, though.
Not being a native english speaker myself I didn't run into many of the fan content mentioned here BUT there used to be a few channels dedicated to dubbing both official and fan animations into german. Most notably there was MrShidalko and ElementsOfJustice (the latter of which is still active and I am still subscribed to). They introduced the concept of fandubs and obviously a bunch of great content to me and to this day I still connect their voices to the characters. It's something I look back on so fondly and without their work I don't think I would have become as obsessed with this franchise as a kid as I was!
Late to the party but man some of these listed in the video brought me back some good memories. Glad that the concept of exes are back even if Sonic.exe was a horribly written creepypasta and the creator was uh… not so good I’m glad to see it back since I love people taking their try on a popular character and making it scary. However, nothing can beat the nostalgia of Sanic for me. TH-cam Poop and MLG videos grew up with me for so many years I fucking love the internet just because Sanic was created. Man I would love MLG to return in full glory. Anyways, great video and I hope you have an awesome day!
Ok but seriously I’m glad someone remembers the sonic shadow and silver show like man that was one of the first fan created content I’ve watched along with sonic paradox it was great stuff
Man, these creations take me back. Time flies. On that note, you're a real one if you remember the TH-cam classic, the greatest Sonic AMV of all time, "Uh Eeh Uh Ah Ah Ting Tang Walla Walla Bing Bang!!"
Honestly this fan base has its moments that we all would like to forget, but it’s so easy to overlook the best side of the fan base bruh, like you hear the term “sonic oc” and think of things like coldsteel or something but there’s actually so many great ones out there, Fr like Nazo is so effing good I low key wish he was canon, Aeon is obscure but his story, design, and powers are really good and well thought out plus with Sega seemingly going the multiple sonic dimensions route Aeon would actually make sense a a villain, Seelkadoom has a stupid sounding name but his personality and creation is solid, personally I would like to see some fan games featuring those characters as core villains (which the each original creator’s permission of course)
This video is a huge nostalgic find for me, so many creators I’ve seen in the past that made so many fun memories for me as a kid whether it was just animation, stop motion, voice acting, fanart or a fan game, in the end they were always rlly creative with where to take the story, some more in depth than others while others more meant to be fun, one thing I do need to finish is FFSX cuz damn that was a banger when I first played it
the most satisfying find of a vid, hard to find coverage of this. I grew up with the exact stuff in this since I was born in 2003 and only ever had a Wii and a laptop at hand.
I did not expect to get this nostalgic over this video I've never considered myself the biggest Sonic fan in the world. The only non-game offically liscenced Sonic media I've watched was Sonic X and I've not touched a game past Adventure 2, other than Mania. But I remembered a lot more of these fan videos than I thought like The Sonic Shorts series, Nazo Unleashed, SMBZ, and several of the flash games. Despite not thinking about most of these fan works for probably close to a decade, I teared up watching this video because this brought back a lot of memories from elementary and early middle school. I'm now finishing my 4th year in college.
Amazing Video! Sammy, Tanic and Sonic.EXE were always a big part of my life when I was younger and Even more so now. Sammy and Petur wentzlau will always be legends! Keep up the amazing work!
This video brought back some memories i only vaguely remembered along with the memories of more recent stuff i love and still do to this day. Thank you for this
This video was amazing. I remember almost everything in this video from my childhood. The rush of nostalgia was incredible. A little disappointed there was no mention of my childhood favorite Sonic creator SonicToast, who is known for basically starting the whole Sonic stop motion trend, making stop motions series dating back to 2003 even before TH-cam. However the fact that Sonic stop motions even got a mention was enough for me. Amazing video
this video is honestly perfect you mentioned so many series that brought me genuine MONTHS if not YEARS of fun the only thing i can think of big in sonic that you didnt mention is the mario vs sonic movie series from GamingAllStarsGmod they are definitely a product of there time but i think they deserve a spot here.
The Sonic and Silver Show is something I've been looking for for so long that I thought for a moment I had dreamed it, I'm so glad I was wrong. I really missed this show, and honestly, see it as a predecessor to the kind of stuff we saw in the Boom show.
You brought back memories of sonic shorts, sonicsong182, those text-to-speech videos, sammy, and tons of other things. I don’t know if I should thank you or slap you.
Ayy Mario bros Z, Nazo unleashed and sonic paradox was my childhood!. I've never been so scared of Mecha sonic, this series made him so cool. Final fantasy sonic x is also awesome!

Also they have a character Seelkadoom who is argued to be the one of the strongest (popular) sonic fan character it’s kind of insane lmao
Gotta play the entire thing then make a whole video about it. You have sinned by not including our childhood RPG.
in nostagia wise Sonic RPG matches with Sonic Final Fantasy. good thing it wasnt forgotten
Mario Bros Z is genuinely one of my favourite forms of media just ever, I rewatch it annually.
Same.
SMBZ is so good
It's that beautiful moment when classic and modern fans of Sonic, Mario, and DBZ came together and enjoyed something together. Almost unanimously at that!
I do the same with Sonic for Hire 😂🤣😂

No mention of Sonic RPG?

Jokes aside, if you haven't heard of it, _please_ look it up.
The first 4 or so episodes may be the quintessential definition of the term "rough around the edges", but trust me, it is _really good._
Oh, and uh, I forgot to mention one thing that sets it apart from most of the fan projects here:
IT'S _FINISHED._
IT HAD A _FINALE._
I know that doesn't sound special, but just _think_ about the number of fan projects you can definitively say that about.
Unfortunately it never came up when making the archive, perhaps in a bonus part 2 if enough was left unsaid!
Probably the highlight of my time with Sonic before I took my free-time elsewhere.

My childhood was Sonic 3, SA2, Gens, Unleashed, SMBZ, Nazo, Sonic Shorts all that jazz. and I wasn't old enough to care about the newest games at the time like LW or Boom until Forces.

FACTS I was born at August of 2004 I get to experience the glow ups of fandoms and Sonic was one of my favorite characters
I was born in 07 but I grew up with all the stuff from this era and I’m so glad about that
For someone who were born in 2000 and got to experience all this, this really hit me home! Such a blast from the past from my time on Newgrounds and TH-cam! Thx for making the video I didn’t know I wanted ☺️
"This is some Code Lyoko shxt" is honestly the most shocking quote in Sonic Stop Motion Adventures because Code Lyoko referenced in a Sonic Fan Video is unprecedented.
A lot of the heavy hitters here were to be expected, but there were some deep cuts I'd forgotten about but rediscovered fond memories for all the same. (Forgot all about the scene creator and Sonic Q&A). A lot of these animations inspired me to make my own once upon a time.
Wow, that was an absolute trip down memory lane.
Demetrius98 (?) was the sonic sprite creator I remember most. There was another one whose name was Hannah and was from Australia. She primarily used Tiara Boobowski as a stand in, but I don't remember the channel name.
I was definitely into sonicsong182. I was always frustrated that a certain character I liked didn't get used in whatever was the newer game, so their content was great for letting me enjoy the characters more.
Nazo and SMBZ will always be king though. Easily the best pieces of sonic media out there on sheer impact alone.
I'm surprised there was no mention of the tails doll flash games, since it was a prominent character in the Sonic Paradox project and you mentioned Sonic.exe.
Dude literally made a video of my childhood. Growing up, I had no friends. But I had Sonic, and with my crappy computer, I had infinite Sonic fan content. I never felt alone because of this series. 💙
I’m surprised spindashpro or sonictoast old videos were not in this
I grew up with these animations thanks to Sonic fans... I'M CRYING!!! 😭😭😭
as a person who grew up in the era where fan content was mocked, this video meant a lot to me. i almost teared up at the end with a genuinely heartfelt montage of amvs and fanart i grew up on as a kid. seeing artists online make these beautiful reinditions of sonic in dramatic ways i couldn't ever envision (especially with myly14! i grew up with their works along with drawloverlala!), the editing and precision of stormreddeserts amvs, it inspired me a lot to become the artist i am today. thank you so much for this :)
newgrounds, now theres a blast from the past. I used to love going on there when in school and when i got home to play that sonic advance style game, and the one were you shoot them out of a canon. I miss those days.
Aaah man seeing sonic stop motion adventures and nazo unleashed just fuels my heart
I remember when I was small I would watch those "Sonamy Love Story" videos on TH-cam.
14:08
Oh hey, I was a part of that channel for some time. You're right on the assumption that it's definitely more of a family-oriented thing than most fan content, for sure. Ask the Sonic Heores actually started off as a side-series for SonicSong182 but (as the view counts suggest) evolved into its flagship series over time. For me, since I played Big the Cat, it was just kind of a fun time to come up with silly lines since Big's nature allowed me to make all my answers comedic to some degree. It's too bad you didn't dig a little deeper because their content also covers areas like plush adventures (which was the main thing before AtSH took off), musicals, and some other stuff as well.
Also the OG source for the Sonic, Shadow, and Silver shorts mentioned earlier is coodoo17, if nobody else mentioned that already. Was one of the first pieces of fan content I saw while getting into Sonic in the late 2000s.
god this was such a fun watch, incredible work on this nick, really. i loved the vast majority of these as a kid who spent HOURS absorbing sonic content on my family's pc in the late 2000s/early 2010s, so to revisit these as a college student through this video was SUCH a nice nostalgia trip. thank you
Watched about everything here mentioned and even the damn sonamy amv videos lmao it's nice remembering all these channels I used to watch and great to see how splendid the sonic community can be, great video man
sonamy barbie gurl is the best hands down
I love to see the sonic fan community get so much love! Looking at this incredibly well done video it really shows how much this whole community has done, and makes me even more happy to be apart of it! We have to keep the sonic stop motion community alive as well as the rest of the community cause as time goes on the fans can only get better!!
WE GOIN OLD SCHOOL I SEE oh nostalgia god i miss the late early2010s/2000s
I remember so many Things from this! However although it may only be from 2017-18 Era, Right here on TH-cam was a channel Called S Sonic. It was mostly Based on using the live chat system in which you could Roleplay. It was a fairly small community, But it still had a Charm in my heart coming after school to get on my iPad to Meet all of my friends online.
This was an amazing Video and nostalgic trip to memory lane.
Thank you for making this wonderful video!
(Sonic RPG Will remember that...)
Holy crap, I actually know every single one of these things, maybe with the exception for AMVs shown and Kalisami’s and Myly14 amazing art. It is an amazing trip though memory lane. I feel like Shadow759 was the one that gave me the most inspiration. In fact, I think it was him that got me inspired to do the skits and fandubs that I do in my channel. Hope I can branch off into more ambitious projects in the future but for now, I got still room to grow.
💙💙💙This really was SO NOSTALGIC! The fandom that was shown is true proof that fans will never give up on Sonic! No matter how low his games start to go the fandom will always love him no matter what!💙💙💙
This was such a nostalgia trip OMGGG! Great video!
I just appreciate this side of Sonic's fandom, so creative, inspirational, entertaining and was part of a lot of childhoods, back in the day when the internet was wholesome, when we would spend hours watching content made by fans and for fans. Still, there is the dark side of the Sonic's fandom, and believe me, it's better not to see it.
This is my childhood in a video 😢 Heck I still dedicate a big portion of my life to Sonic, but this video really took me back to a fantastic time. I'm currently 23, and I don't think I'll ever just stop liking Sonic. My heart goes out to all of you that keep yourselves steadfast. Stay true blue (also do any of you out there remember the song "They call me Sonic"?)
Beautiful, simply beautiful. It was a blast being part of this video, you did such a great job dude! The best part was your “review” you gave Tanic, I BUSTED out laughing with how professional you made it! Keep up the absolutely amazing work dude!
Sonic and Knuckles Show... Enough said
I was messaging one of my friends for a short bit while I was listening to this video but AS SOON AS I SAW GMOD SONIC ON THE SCREEN I GOT SO HYPED THAT I MADE THE POG FACE UNINTENTIONALLY, I DIDN'T EXPECT YOU TO MENTION SONIC ZOMBIE EVEN THOUGH IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE BUT I'M SO HAPPY YOU DID XD
Man that was such a nostalgic series from my childhood, thank you so much for this wonderful video!
EDIT: OKAY YOU JUST SOMEHOW MANAGED TO SHOCK ME AGAIN HOLY SHIT I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT SONIC STOP MOTION ADVENTURES.
EDIT 2: YESSSSSSS SMBZ WAS THE BEST THING EVER, also man the only reason why I adore Mecha Sonic is thanks to this series. This video is ridiculously nostalgic.
the Sonic Shadow and Silver show..... such words have not been uttered near me for over 15 years.... the sheer nostalgia from those words alone.... damn. just.... just damn.
Great video, definitely made me feel nostalgic. However, the two first images you credited me on were not done by me. (Also you mispelled my username haha)
I'm in tears, brought back so many memories. I'm happy to have lived through it all
I squeaked as you talked about my character. ❤️❤️❤️
The Sonic series is only rivaled by the Mario and Dragon Ball series with the amount of animations, games, sprite series, parodies, and comics that were made by fans.
God, do I miss the 2000s era.
The 2000s and early 2010s were something magical.
@@undeadbatman9762 I agree man, I hope sonic can capture that magic again.
Someone hasn't heard of Touhou
And Megaman.
god, it’s so crazy thinking about how addicted i was to sonic when i was younger, and seeing this makes me think about the good ol days of just coming home and instantly watching sonic videos and fan games
This video made me cry. Brought me back down memory lane, you deserve a sub for this.
I loved and remembered all of these
Sonic shorts and sonic zombies are amazing.
THIS WAS INCREDIBLE! Talk about a trip down memory lane LOL. Please make a sequel!!
i CHEERED when you brought up the shadow and silver series. i forgot the name of it and have been looking for it for years, i was so obsessed with it as a kid and i still think about it constantly. i used to sit in the watch party game on gaiaonline and do nothing but watch the sonic shorts animations and the shadow and silver series with random people, it was a blast. i miss mid-2000s internet
Love em or Hate em, it's really true that Sonic fans are really passionate when it comes to creating things.
Sonic sprite animations are so amazing to rewatch there's a couple lost episodes that will only live in my memory
Bruh I remember never liking the sonic zombie series mainly because the animation always creeped me out whenever I tried to watch any of the videos. Mad respect to balena productions tho
A video that basically embodies my childhood and why I love this fanbase to begin with. Thank you for making this.
I loved it all. The community made my childhood ❤. Sonic was my childhood and I loved everything people did
7:31 I became a fan fo sonic colors in 2011 when I was 6 and I watched all the these nostalgic videos like nazo unleashed,sonic paradox and Sonic stop motion adventures
Sonic RPG was something not mentioned in here but was a really big part of my childhood and has an extremely similar vibe, play style (obviously), and impact on everyone!
Man, did i get hit with nostalgia seeing these again. Loved these as a kid. It's unfortunate to see RosytheRascal15 not be a part of it because i remember watching him a lot as a kid, too. Suprised i didn't see this video sooner, though.
Great video that talks about almost all fan content - Makes me wanna look back on all the content made over the years
Not being a native english speaker myself I didn't run into many of the fan content mentioned here BUT there used to be a few channels dedicated to dubbing both official and fan animations into german. Most notably there was MrShidalko and ElementsOfJustice (the latter of which is still active and I am still subscribed to). They introduced the concept of fandubs and obviously a bunch of great content to me and to this day I still connect their voices to the characters. It's something I look back on so fondly and without their work I don't think I would have become as obsessed with this franchise as a kid as I was!
Late to the party but man some of these listed in the video brought me back some good memories. Glad that the concept of exes are back even if Sonic.exe was a horribly written creepypasta and the creator was uh… not so good I’m glad to see it back since I love people taking their try on a popular character and making it scary. However, nothing can beat the nostalgia of Sanic for me. TH-cam Poop and MLG videos grew up with me for so many years I fucking love the internet just because Sanic was created. Man I would love MLG to return in full glory. Anyways, great video and I hope you have an awesome day!
Ok but seriously I’m glad someone remembers the sonic shadow and silver show like man that was one of the first fan created content I’ve watched along with sonic paradox it was great stuff
God the nostalgia. All of those fan projects are legendary.
Man, these creations take me back. Time flies.
On that note, you're a real one if you remember the TH-cam classic, the greatest Sonic AMV of all time, "Uh Eeh Uh Ah Ah Ting Tang Walla Walla Bing Bang!!"
Honestly this fan base has its moments that we all would like to forget, but it’s so easy to overlook the best side of the fan base bruh, like you hear the term “sonic oc” and think of things like coldsteel or something but there’s actually so many great ones out there, Fr like Nazo is so effing good I low key wish he was canon, Aeon is obscure but his story, design, and powers are really good and well thought out plus with Sega seemingly going the multiple sonic dimensions route Aeon would actually make sense a a villain, Seelkadoom has a stupid sounding name but his personality and creation is solid, personally I would like to see some fan games featuring those characters as core villains (which the each original creator’s permission of course)
Dude this video hit so many nostalgia spots for me and I just want to personally thank you for reminding of some things i have forgotten about!
This video is a huge nostalgic find for me, so many creators I’ve seen in the past that made so many fun memories for me as a kid whether it was just animation, stop motion, voice acting, fanart or a fan game, in the end they were always rlly creative with where to take the story, some more in depth than others while others more meant to be fun, one thing I do need to finish is FFSX cuz damn that was a banger when I first played it
the most satisfying find of a vid, hard to find coverage of this. I grew up with the exact stuff in this since I was born in 2003 and only ever had a Wii and a laptop at hand.
I did not expect to get this nostalgic over this video I've never considered myself the biggest Sonic fan in the world. The only non-game offically liscenced Sonic media I've watched was Sonic X and I've not touched a game past Adventure 2, other than Mania. But I remembered a lot more of these fan videos than I thought like The Sonic Shorts series, Nazo Unleashed, SMBZ, and several of the flash games. Despite not thinking about most of these fan works for probably close to a decade, I teared up watching this video because this brought back a lot of memories from elementary and early middle school. I'm now finishing my 4th year in college.
Amazing Video! Sammy, Tanic and Sonic.EXE were always a big part of my life when I was younger and Even more so now. Sammy and Petur wentzlau will always be legends! Keep up the amazing work!
This video brought back some memories i only vaguely remembered along with the memories of more recent stuff i love and still do to this day. Thank you for this
OMG THIS VIDEO WAS A HUGE NISTALGA TRIP ,THANK YOU!
This video was amazing. I remember almost everything in this video from my childhood. The rush of nostalgia was incredible. A little disappointed there was no mention of my childhood favorite Sonic creator SonicToast, who is known for basically starting the whole Sonic stop motion trend, making stop motions series dating back to 2003 even before TH-cam. However the fact that Sonic stop motions even got a mention was enough for me. Amazing video
this video is honestly perfect you mentioned so many series that brought me genuine MONTHS if not YEARS of fun the only thing i can think of big in sonic that you didnt mention is the mario vs sonic movie series from GamingAllStarsGmod they are definitely a product of there time but i think they deserve a spot here.
The Sonic and Silver Show is something I've been looking for for so long that I thought for a moment I had dreamed it, I'm so glad I was wrong. I really missed this show, and honestly, see it as a predecessor to the kind of stuff we saw in the Boom show.
Nostalgic and amazing… I love all of this!!! Thank you for taking me back through memory lane.
The Sonic Fans have made very impressive projects and will continue to love what people make with all there hard effort put into it
You brought back memories of sonic shorts, sonicsong182, those text-to-speech videos, sammy, and tons of other things. I don’t know if I should thank you or slap you.
Ayy Mario bros Z, Nazo unleashed and sonic paradox was my childhood!. I've never been so scared of Mecha sonic, this series made him so cool. Final fantasy sonic x is also awesome!
DUDE. That Do You Like Waffles AMV must have been some of the earliest internet content I've consumed. I literally felt my life flash through my eyes.
I'm surprised how much I recognized from this video, pretty much my entire childhood. Good work! ✌️
I remember when I made my own series using Sonic scene creator good times
