10 /10

Having watched up to the 4 parts released to this day, I gotta say, it's nice to kinda sorta go back to the roots of these characters. Especially after the flop that was Forces =~=' That...killed alot of things for me. The show is...well, there's really no way to explain it concisely. It's a simple story that is told through the old silent animation style. Where-in we don't need dialogue to understand what's going on. An art form I've seen used more than once to great effect. Everyone is in-character, the humor is on the mark, it's really very light-hearted in-tone. Something I think we've been long overdue for another bit of since the Adventure Series that we got in Heroes, Unleashed, Colors, Generations, and even Lost Worlds. Animation is on-point, the soundtrack accompaniment works all too well. It's a joy to rewatch too. =w=



This being a prelude to Mania Plus is great. It's just further example of what happens when you put so much love into a series. Plenty have said it before me, but this is the definition of "Love Letter To The Fans From The Fans." And, honestly knowing that, I am...more than very disappointed in the fanbase themselves. Specifically the "Modern Sonic" favoritists who just wanna leave bad reviews just to show their dislike. And to that I say "Grow up."



But back on topic; coming from someone who his both a Sonic Fan period, these shorts are a breath of fresh air. They remind us why it is we came to love the series in the first place. This is Sonic at his best. When the primary element that helps a game succeed is the passion and love put into it by the creators, and especially in this case, the fans. This isn't Classic Sonic Favoritism(him in Forces was a mistake with how botched that game was) or Modern Favortism(same reasoning as classic, but more because the storyline blew chunks). This is just a fan loving something of quality.
