Pretty sure it's edited, his mouth looks like it was drawn in a way that it's supposed to be at the side of his face, and his eyes, it's utterly impossible for someone to do that on purpose....unless they were having a reeaaaly off day. I could always be wrong though...

No, you're right. It's a fake, edited pic.

Chances are, if you've viewed quite a few Sonic X episodes, you'll notice that throughout it's run it had wildly varying animation and drawing styles. Each style is so distinctive that it is very e

What style is this?

Whoa! You're bang on the nail there! I never noticed that before! This is laziness of the most unbelievable kind. I mean, if they're going to copy poses, they could've made it less obvious by downsizi

As badly drawn as these moments are, each one you posted lasts a second or two at most, and I thought the animation from first pic was funny (in the context of the scene) when I saw it recently, almost hearkens back to AoSTH stuff.

Also, is it bad that when I watch anime, the comedic moments when the characters randomly break into a more cartoony style like this are my favorite moments? I dunno what it is, but, they just feel more alive and less..."stiff" to me when they do that stuff.

The problem is (in the last one at least) when most anime does "wacky & expressive" emotions it generally doesn't try to make it sorta on-model at the same time. Attempting to combine the two (or, more likely, lazily pasting wacky expressive faces on the normal character model) makes it look weird as fuck.

And in regards to Tail's newfound ability to play for the NBA, Sonic X wasn't absurdist like AoStH and generally tried to maintain an air of realism; so it clashes horribly with the rest of the show's art style to see one of the characters do something that wouldn't be out of line with an episode of Spongebob.

I'm pretty sure face faults doesn't count for bad animation and I couldn't even see anything bad with Sonic doing that exaggerated movement.

I think the fourth and fifth pics count...Knuckles's body looks really wierd in the third, and his head in the fourth looks a bit off model.

Why are the cartoony moments being posted as "bad animation"? They were done like that on purpose and they're hilarious to watch.

I agree. Although that anime has its bad moments, it really is quite funny. I love watching it just to see the goofy stuff. Call me immature, but I find it hilarious.

*facepalm* I thought that the purpose of this topic was to find animation errors and/or bad animation. Edited and intentional goofy scenes don't count.

I don't get it. What's wrong with this one? :/

Eh, I tried (I still think Knuckles's model is off in the fourth/fifth pics). The ones I found were from the LOL Media thread from Sega Forums anyway.

Did Chris bet Tails he couldn't fit his whole fist into his mouth?

He did, but he was too busy staring at Amy's panties to notice. :P

I think this picture, as well as the entire moment this happened, was the greatest thing that came out of Sonic X.

Sure, that's not much to work off of, but still...

Tails....what the hell. And I'm pretty sure they got lazy to color the characters too, but I don't think that's too much important.

So far, this is the funniest thread I ever seen.

It appears that Amy has one of those magical "kids show skirts" that grows longer when the occasion, or rather the camera angle, calls for it.

It's to bad for chicks that those skirts doesn't exist in real life but a good thing for guys

A lot of bad art from Episode 36 can be viewed here: http://www.teamartail.com/sonicx/36/

i've got a couple more Sonic X-related things, but I'll post them later.

Why are the Jetix pics still floating about? thought 53-78 had dvd releases in all regions by now?

Thanks for these btw. Maybe a Sonic X tumblr blog should be made like how the archie one was.
