35 years of Sonic is insane especially considering the fact 10 years ago we didnāt think weād even be here.
This franchise has fallen and risen time and time again. Against what was seemingly all odds. Itās come back stronger each time and now itās in a place where thereās no going back. Between games, movies, shows, comics, there truly isnāt a better time to be a Sonic fan and it has been some of the most rewarding experiences of my adult life.
Itās healed something in me I didnāt know needed healing at all.
Going out to see all 3 sonic movies and seeing kiddos all decked out in Sonic merch, happy and laughing, being able to enjoy our little hedgehog and even have their parents embrace it. It makes me smile every time i see it. We didnāt have that. But iām so so so glad the kids today can.
Experiencing Sonic Symphony LIVE along with other Sonic fans and singing all the songs weāve sang on our own for years together.
The hype of Sonic Frontiers to Shadow Gens.
Waiting every week for the next episode of Chaotix Casefiles.
All of my different school assignments I was able to make about this franchise and Sonicās character.
I wouldnāt trade the last ten years for anything.
It was rough. It was sad. It was even scary. After Boom, Forces, 2017 and 2019 I didnāt know there was still a future for Sonic. So much made it feel like this was it. It was over.
But here we are, what else is new?
The Sonic movies and Sonic Frontiers absolutely changed everything and I couldnāt be more grateful. I would give anything to experience Sonic Frontiers again for the first time just to feel that joy and the happy tears I cried playing a game that for the first time in a decade finally felt like my Sonic.
To the little blue blur who keeps on running, with so much love and utter adoration;
Happy 35th Anniversary Sonic, thank you for changing my life and bringing me hereš„¹š©µ
