"Sonically Ever After" is the 65th episode of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog in production order, and 43rd episode in the broadcast order.

Plot

Robotnik invents a ray gun that transports Sonic, Tails, and Robotnik's gang into a storybook.

Why It Sonically Sucks

  1. Some scenes can be a little too dramatic, over-the-top, or overly hammy than necessary.
  2. Tails, a 4.5-year-old boy, gets cleavage for some reason, which isn't something that should be in a kids' cartoon.
  3. The plot in itself, is kind of uninspired, nonsensical, and not executed well.
  4. Random things keep happening. Many of these include Robotnik suddenly being on a dragon after containing a magic wand (which doesn't make any sense considering being a scientific genius who can make robots), there is an interdimensional vortex that was opened from the real world to the fairy tale road, the godfather coming out of nowhere, Sonic becoming Rapunzel and Robotnik falling in love with him (which is basically still zoophilia), and the giant in that fairy tale who chases after Sonic being a jazz musician.
    • Robotnik's house in the fairy tale world is made of chili dogs, which is just ridiculous and plain stupid.
  5. The budget has a notable downgrade. You can easily see that in scenes like when Robotnik and Sonic return back to Mobius with a dragon and a jazz musician; Sonic's lips move but his voice clip went completely missing.
  6. Despite there being a ton of things happening, there has no sense of finality to it or indication that it is the final episode of the series, as it was never explicitly designed as such.

Redeeming Qualities

  1. The characters still have a bit of charm.
  2. Sonic telling the viewers to stay tuned for more episodes, while misleading if watching in production order due to this being the last episode, actually did make sense when watching the show in broadcast order, as the order of the show's episodes was shuffled around back then (e.g Hero Of The Year being one of them), and there were still 22 unaired episodes at the time of the episode's original airdate.
  3. The animation, while not great, is still passable.
  4. The follow-up, Sonic Christmas Blast, is a major improvement over this whereas the animation has gotten a tad bit better and more vibrant (despite the animation goofs still existing), its story is rather decent (if not unoriginal & slightly unfaithful), and it overall ended the series truly on a high note.
