CAST Burr the Bear was a normal gamer until Eggman took over the World. He lost his entire family to Eggman's army and vowed to get revenge on him and kill him. Now he uses his gamer skills to fight for Sonic Forces as the weapons and fighting games specialist. Likes: video games, pizza, justice, The Mountain Goats. Dislikes: injustice, selfish people, salty licorice. Risk Rating: S+  Sonic the Hedgehog used to be the greatest hero of our time, until his constant running took its toll. He was ahead of the game, but all his friends were far behind him as well. Can he recover from his ennui? Can he turn the blasé into a blaze? Likes: running, stopping Eggman, Happy Meal Premiums Dislikes: evil, lies, getting wet Risk Rating: S  Classic Sonic was stranded in a World he didn't belong to.

Now, he wanders the World alone, hoping to find something to fill the void in his heart. Likes: Sonic, hanging around with Sonic, believing he can do something Dislikes: being left out, people belittling him, when his friends are hurt Risk Rating: B  Amy Rose mourned Sonic as much as she could, but she was still alive and she knew she had to stay strong for the Resistance. She became the head of communications and does her best to co-ordinate the troops on the field. Likes: boxercise, helping people see the good and positive in things, soft-serve ice cream Dislikes: Sonic running away from her, people thinking Sonic has turned evil or done something wrong, the thought of Sonic turning evil Risk Rating: C  Knuckles the Echidna took up the job of leading the Resistance after Sonic died. Many doubt his capabilities as a leader. Even Knuckles doesn't believe he deserves to be a Commander. But all that uncertainty is hidden away and he does his best to ignite the spark in the Resistance's troops. Likes: grapes and other fruit, digging holes, fighting and training Dislikes: strong sunshine, being tricked, betrayed, or otherwise taken advantage of, fighting/hurting innocent people Risk Rating: B-  Shadow the Hedgehog used to be one of the bad guys before he became one of the good guys. But why is he now working for Eggman? Why did he go against his promise to Maria? Likes: Maria, solitude, justice Dislikes: anyone who opposes him, when someone gets in his way, anyone else who defeats Sonic Risk Rating: S  Silver the Hedgehog traveled back in time once again to prevent a global catastrophe from happening. But his warnings fell on deaf ears as the World descended into chaos once more. Is it too late to save the future? Likes: seeing happy people, serving the greater good, blue skies Dislikes: being interrupted en route to his goal, seeing people brought down in any way, anyone tricking him Risk Rating: A+  Rouge the Bat offered her services to the Resistance. She acts as a spy, reporting directly to Commander Knuckles. While she is usually motivated by gems and jewels, she knows that freedom is the greatest treasure of all. Likes: gems, precious stones and treasure, flirting, getting what she wants Dislikes: anyone taking gems from her, Omega's constant talk of revenge, fake jewelry Risk Rating: A  Vector the Crocodile is a dumb dumb poo-head that thinks he's better than Burr.

He acts as the Resistance's main recon unit. Likes: freedom, justice, researching Dislikes: crooked deals, immaturity, playing games Risk Rating: A-  Charmy the Bee has no specialty, but Knuckles finds a use for his pointy butt. Likes: playing video games, flowers, the beach, Dislikes: boredom, dull and bland atmospheres, Vector yelling at him Risk Rating: F  Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik was once fairly tame in his attempts at taking over the World, some might say even comical. But he has realized that holding back gets no results. Now unhinged and without ethics, Eggman is willing to bomb, kill and enslave whoever stands in his way. Likes: conquering the World, his plans succeeding, when Sonic is angry with him Dislikes: Sonic and his friends, losing, imitating other accents Risk Rating: S  Infinite UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN Likes: fear, pain and the suffering of others Dislikes: being insulted, boredom Risk Rating: SSS+ FANART Burr the Bear, by El Tipejo Loco

To address a common complaint-the reason Sonic doesn't look worse for wear is because his torture was mental, not physical. There was some Japan-only audio drama dealing with that. Turns out Eggman was somehow forcing Sonic to relive the Soleanna incident (including his ill-fated romance) over and over again in his head. The fact that he was mentally sound enough to fight Zavok after 6 months of that is a miracle in itself.

Everything about this is magnificent... And it seems like it's not just iframes Burr learned from  . He's a big proponent of fashion Souls too from the looks of things.

Fwoderwick posted:And it seems like it's not just iframes Burr learned from The original manga of Burr Forces was actually what inspired the fashion on Michiko to Hatchin, where the main character changes clothes almost every episode. It would have been impossible for the anime to get away without having that detail.

I never liked the Harmony Gold version, they just chopped things up at random with no regard for the original story. I know it was really popular in the eighties, but now we have easy access to the source material, and I know this will be controversial, but I just don't think we should cling to an inferior version for the sake of nostalgia.

If there's one thing that bothers me about a lot of the more serious anime is the massive tonal shifts they use for moments of levity. It's important not to get too dour of course but the swings between existential and personal crises and wacky fun can be a bit jarring!

so I really like the quality of these recordings, and I guess that the guys behind it are doing a lot of work to edit out the commercial breaks and stuff, but does this show have splash images before commercial? also I sometimes like to see the commercials that are airing with the shows just to see what kind of things they are trying to sell with it it's usually the first place where the cool new toys are shown too and I really want a Burr Bear Action Figure

Maybe I'm weird, but I was never into the whole "giant head vinyl toy" craze, I'd much rather have the Revoltech Perfect Arts Burr figure, though given the limited production run it's crazy expensive, assuming you can find it at all. I'd post pictures I've found of it, but it's based on the end of the series, so there's a ton of visual spoilers going on.

VolticSurge posted:Huh, good to know. On a slightly different topic, has anyone else pre-ordered the MG Metal Sonic model kit? The early prototypes that have been leaked look GORGEOUS. Certainly looks better than the AWFUL Egg Dragoon (06 Ver.) kit they released last year. Oh, man, if we're gonna talk about Sonpla, I still think the best one they ever made was the Death Egg Robo (Knuckles Custom) from their Eggman Robot Variations series, or maybe the Big Arm Mk. III Full Armor version, which was only seen in the OVA, Sonic the Hedgehog 3: Stories of Chaotix: Mighty's Solitary Journey: Steel Battalion the Second: Phantom Flash.

Yeah, I've got the first one proudly decorating my desk. I haven't found the latter for a decent price online yet. The other prominent part of my collection so far has been the HG BurnBot kit that has the interchangeable weapon arms-both the original flamethrower arms and the claw arms Robotnik applied as a hasty refit in part 2 of the OVA "Rise of Lyric".

I think the internal monologue they gave Shadow really nailed his character in this episode, drat. Also, I cannot believe how much passion Infinite's voice actor puts into those amazing lines he's given.

I had read somewhere that this was completely animated and was just holding back because of some of the VA's I'm totally down with the new form for Burr though In real life I showed this to a few of my friends and after the first episode they are making the same jokes as here in the thread (which is pretty funny because we're a bunch of nerds talking about 'the only good anime currently airing')

This is an excellent fansub, but I'm always interested to hear how the English VAs interpret the characters. My sources tell me that the biggest hurdle right now is adapting the what they call "too political" moments without losing characterization. Apparently, some of the opinions were interpreted as pro-gun control and the original creator rejected all their pitches for replacing those lines, including: -Sword control -Jelly donut control -Lolipop control I think the best you can expect is a German dub at this point.
