Sonic Boom (2014–2017)
1/10
This is a candidate for one of the worst cartoons ever made

Warning: Spoilers
When they first released the preview for Sonic Boom several months before, I was encouraged. I love the Sonic series, and this looked like it was going to be a well animated, smartly written series.

One episode in and all of that was utterly destroyed. First off, the intro was bad. I had no idea what just happened it was so bad. The characters are horrible. Sonic is stock, Eggman was better in Sonic X, and that's saying something, Tails is an idiot, Amy is annoying (and you see her for like 15 seconds), Knuckles is just bad.

Okay, a lot of cartoons do that. But then it's not funny. The timing is bad, the jokes are bad, the dialogue is painful. All of this combined with a really, really lame story line that probably took exactly 30 seconds to come up with make for a truly horrible episode.

And then on top of that, the animation is bad! The samples they gave, which make up the first 3 minutes of the episode, look great. But after that it's like they stopped trying. The mouths, the eyes, the body movement, the expressions. ALL OF IT IS BAD! I've seen Youtubers put more effort and quality into their work. I'm not expecting perfection but I do expect effort!

Don't watch this. Whether you like Sonic or not, this will surely ruin it for you. It's a worse remake than Teen Titans Go. In fact it makes the latter look intelligent.
