Mostly old Sonic reblogs live here

Au where he actually uses real skates?

Since I don’t have the consoles for the newer games, I usually check on YouTube for a playthrough. Most of the time though, I checked Nico Nico Douga (a Japanese equivalent site for YouTube) because I want to hear the Japanese dub and Junichi Kanemaru’s voice heheheh.

Nico Nico Douga is known for its unique… viewer’s comment system. While I watched the videos, I noticed that the Japanese fans has their own nicknames toward the Sonic characters. Most of them are funny, while the other are adorable and the rest is weird. Nonetheless, they are quite interesting.

Also, the viewer could add additional tag to the videos. If the video tag is not locked by the uploader, chaos will definitely ensues lol. The tags is not that much different with the nicknames. Here is some nicknames and video tags I stumbled upon so far:

世界一かっこよかったハリネズミ / Sekai ichi kakkoyokatta harinezumi (The world’s coolest/most attractive hedgehog) : Refers to Sonic, obviously :)

音速紳士 / Onsoku shinshi (Speed-of-sound gentleman) : Again, refers to Sonic. And it’s kind of heartwarming how they acknowledged Sonic’s gentlemanly qualities.

世界一かっこよかった自宅警備員 / Sekai ichi kakkoyokatta jitaku keibiin (The world’s coolest/most attractive home guardian/security) : Refers to Knuckles lol. Sometimes he even called NEET from not being in touch with the outside world.

セコム / Secom : Refers to Knuckles. Secom is a famous Japanese security service company. Now put one and one together.

ナッコ / Nakko : Refers to Knuckles. Short from ナックルズ/Nakkuruzu, Japanese pronunciation of Knuckles; used solely by Sonic on Sonic X episodes especially when Knuckles was being naive or being fooled by Eggman/other people–equivalent to Knuckie.

ニラ饅頭 / Niramanjuu (Leek Bun) : Refers to Knuckles. It became popular because of a certain episode of Sonic X where Knuckles shouted it on top of his lungs. Knuckles really has the funniest nicknames lol.

棒読み / Bouyomi (The Monotone) : Refers to Tails’ Japanese VA, exclusively on Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 (which the fans has come to an agreement that he sounded quite monotone…  still cute for me, though).

髭卵 / Hige-Tamago (Mustachegg) : Refers to Eggman. Sometimes he called as 卵 (Tamago/Egg) only.

片道切符（さん） / Katamichi kippu(-san) ((Mr.)One-way ticket) : Refers to Mephiles, taken from his dialogue on Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, and has become a quite popular gag among the fans with various MADs.

汁婆 / Shirubaa (Soup old-woman) : Refers to Silver, a play on his name’s Japanese pronunciation, シルバー / Shirubaa.

もふもふ / Mofu-mofu (Fluffy) : Refers to Werehog because… just look at his furs! :3

マッスルズ / Muscles : Refers to Boom!Knuckles because… yeah ¬_¬

人類には速すぎる動画 / Jinrui ni wa hayasugiru douga (Video that’s too fast for the mankind) : Sometimes used to tag Sonic Unleashed playthrough video, because the day stages could be really fast. I personally find this one charming because Sonic’s speed is indeed too fast for the mankind :)

After lots of concept work and planning, I’m excited to announce my first animated short, Nightmare Parade! Nightmare Parade is a hand-drawn, Halloween-themed tribute to classic slapstick cartoons like Looney Tunes and Spy vs. Spy, with a few modern touches and set to the tune of FAKE TYPE’s song by the same name. It’s still a work-in-progress, but I expect to have the entire short finished by early October or so. It’s entirely a solo project, so any support would be much appreciated, especially in the form of reblogs or even just telling a friend. This project means a lot to me, and I would love to share my process and my thoughts behind it. Don’t be afraid to send me any questions you might have about it! I’m more than happy to share!
