Let me tell you about Sonic X
It's the Soap Opera series of Sonic despite it being initially advertised as the TMNT 2003, Spiderman Unlimited and He-Man Masters of the Universe of Sonic.
It takes 4/5 of an episode to finally get to the fucking plot because there's so much boring dialogue and GOD IS THE DIALOGUE BORING. Even when there's an interesting fun episode like the baseball episode it wastes 4/5 of the screentime on exposition. And even when they do get to the interesting bits the slapstick, animation, creativity is so bankrupt it's not worth watching even if you cut out 4/5 of the episode. You can only watch Sonic X like you watch DBZ Kai to make it less of a grind. It's like leveling up in Runescape. You level up just to get a congratulations message before you go back to grinding.
That's how season 3 felt in the BEST episodes, in the worst episodes.
Remember that episode where Tails fusses over putting 2 chaos emeralds instead of 1 in the chaos tornado? That's Sonic X right there including season 3.
It's literally soap opera the series and it's not even good drama.
Go watch Stargate & Stargate Atlantis if you want long-winded drama of "If I push this button I'll die , but if I don't push this button I'll die in 20 minutes"
Go watch fucking Dr Who. Go watch fucking Star Trek. Even fucking YuGiOh is a better waste of your time, even fucking Pokemon. Go watch Sherlock Holmes. Go play Phoenix Wright. Go watch Detective Pikachu.
That cool city setting in the first 2 seasons which you see in the Japanese ending and the first 2 episodes? wasted. They spend the whole time in some rich kid's mansion.
The only good non-soap opera episode of Sonic X is funnily enough ep 17 titled "The Adventures of Knuckles and Hawk" literally one of those "Hey what about a new show pilot inside the show?" kinda deals.
