Is that the Sonic CD Sonic? Because they felt like the most accurate Sonic voice we've ever had. Ever.

I feel the need to remind you taht even if this was a realistic petition, it'd take the guy years to actually learn proper english. Them saying stuff like "Nice Smile!" (as seen above) is akin to us saying things like "baka" or "Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru". They're just little phrases, they're nothing in comparison to proper sentence structure, enunciation, etc

Though I will be the first to say that Sonic X Sonic was probably my favorite era for Sonic's VA, his work in Brawl specifically. "NOW I'LL SHOW YOU!" followed by a Goku-esque power up shout beats anything that's been done by the current VA.

Let's be honest.

Jaleel White is the only true Sonic.

^White is the true English voice of Classic Sonic, but I still think Ryan Drummond is the best English VA Modern Sonic has ever had.

Though, maybe we should return to most of the game cast being completely silent or having only a few voice clips as sound effects. It worked for all of the Pre-Adventure games and several post-Adventure games, and voice work has been one of the most common criticisms of the Post-Adventure games.

And now I'm wondering how well a series of animated shorts starring Clasic versions of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Eggman, Amy, and Metal Sonic along with a host of badniks and cky animals done in the silent style of Tom and Jerry would fair. Imagine if the team that did the opening and ending animation for Sonic CD had done an entire 13-episode anime of the CD Story with minimalist dialogue with half or th-rd length episodes.
