I remember in the late 90s/early 00s, Season 3 fan projects were all the rage. So it's amazing to see one actually succeed all these years later, and to so perfectly capture the show's aesthetic and feel... fantastic work, all of ya! I can't wait to see it, I couldn't stop smiling if I tried, and I'd like to think you've made Ben Hurst proud.
Agreed! I was on practically EVERY Sonic fan site during that era. No matter what the opinion was of the new Dreamcast games, we could all agree on several things: NiGHTS is awesome, Sonic CD needs a re-release, and Satam needs a third season. Ah, simpler times.
I hope with all my heart that this goes well. Not just for SatAM but for all animated shows unceremoniously cancelled before their conclusions. The dedication fans have is inspiring.
This looks incredible! Still processing that you guys actually got Crush 40 to sing the classic theme! Just elevates this project to a whole new level!
@Christmascliffe what game was it that got taken down after the creator was exposed as a creep? And that's really good, I really like how chill Sega is with fan works
@@dylanpearon8006 it sounds like it because Johnny is the crush 40 singer, just there's not the crush 40 guitarist in this so it's not actually "crush 40".
As someone who only found that these sonic characters existed back in January. Now watching SatAM and reading Archie in its entirety. Just want to thank you guys for what you've done up to this point. The time, effort and passion you've put into this project is insane
Ken penders sucks but i still love the freedom fighters! Also i know the rights belong to saga of america, but ken penders still sucks ass with him trying to sue saga & get💰
@@adamdenardis5438 I can see why, it has the video game characters (From 2003) and it is entertaining no doubt. SatAM just does everything really really well, balances it all and the theme of taking back the world from an actual threat was great with Sonic's cocky nature. He balanced ego with emotions, thanks to Sally as well. Archie had plenty of "what?" Moments, but we love it and it lasted for 25 years because of it
It was a joy and honour to be the voice of Snively in this! you guy's have been doing an amazing job and I look forward to seeing the finished project :)
Freggie, i am a HUGE fan of the Sonic & Knuckles show - I'm sure you know that b/c I comment all the time. Thank you for delivering quality content that our team enjoys as well. xo
Sonic SATAM is part of my childhood! I watched it when I was 4, and rewatched it when I was 9. After all these years, the intro has never left my head! Too catchy and good. The art and visuals in this animation is fresh and amazing!!!!!! Literally looks like how a 2000s Sonic SATAM reboot would look like. The show itself has always been a childhood favorite, along with Sonic Underground and Sonic X (with THEIR intros being catchy and never exiting my head after so long as well)
Honestly I am jaw dropped. Consdering this is team of just under 20. Holy shit this is so professional. SEGA should at least partner with the team and give them assistance. I know Ben Hurst would be proud of this
@@Coder_shark It was green lit by Sega, and created by the developers who made the mobile device Retro Engine remakes of STH /CD/2. The Retro Engine is not emulation. It is what it sounds like: A modern programmed game engine, made to mimic the in-game functionality of the original STH 1/CD/2/3/&K game engines. This is actually why the Sonic Origins game has some awkward inconsistencies in the gameplay of the titles included. The actual, original Sega titles, Sonic The Hedgehog, CD, 2, 3, &K have similar in-game engines, though each game has slight changes to the engine. Sonic Origins uses the same engine for all 4 titles, creating those previously mentioned inconsistencies.
Can I please point out something to all of you who are wondering what is happening with this project. This project is still going and making an indie animation, especially the pilot episode takes a lot of blood, sweat and tears. The team is -/+ 20 strong and it isn’t a big team! So yes… your patience is needed and things are happening regarding this project! Your impatience is not going to make this done faster. Before anyone asks, no I am not Team Sea3on staff, I’m just a humble supporter of this project and so should you be Thank You.
I, too, have been waiting; I hope they follow what we know of the animator's / script writer's plans for the third season (the eyes are Naugus, Mobius is Earth in the 2360's, etc.).
Just the fact that there aren't too many spoilers ahead of time is great. I just hope to see Knuckels in the season as it was considered at the time of 1995 and who knows, SUPER SONIC will come in this universe at the end
Everyone on the team, amazing job, the artstyle looks exactly like the original from the way the backgrounds look to the colouring and shading of the character, the animation is smooth, it's all perfect, I'm sure I can speak for a lot of people when I say that fir the longest time it bugged me that satam was unfinished despite having such an interesting storyline to it, me and everyone here definitely support this project and we can't wait to see more!
Yes that is true! But also.. I can't say that it's a perfect remedy. The original series had a fuzzy VHS tape kind of outline to everything. This has much harder and defined lines. But I'm not complaining, I'm just so happy that our unbreakable spirit that made us love this show and of course all Sonic related things hasn't wavered at all... it's stood the test of time and remains in us. Going stronger than ever in a desperate point in history. 😌
@@lorrainebrunner2490 that's true though that was due to a difference in animation techniques and different technology at the time rather than a choice in style, if they really wanted to have it look 100% like the original they'd have to do it all traditionally which I can imagine taking years - almost a decade, like you said though, the fact that this is continuing such am amazing series allows us to forgive it for not looking like it 100% especially when it's so close to the original in both style and presentation and amazingly voice actors.
@@TheArtCorner74 well idk about YEARS.. Like, why wouldn't an unfocuse or basic glow filter do the trick? I imagine you could just run it through that for a few minutes to get the look.
@@lorrainebrunner2490 mmm, that's a fair point, I was just saying cause it might still look relatively more *new* compared to the original show but I see your point, maybe that can be a suggestion to try to capture the feel of the show more, of course when they're done actually animating the episode.
Curious to see if they will go with the original intention of who the one with the red eyes was and if we will get any other sonic characters. Fact that someone animated this and Archie comics online gave an ending for sonic underground just makes a part of me feel fulfilled. Really proud of this fanbase.
To answer the first part of the post, yes. It is going to be Naugus, and yes, we are getting at least one more character (Knuckles). Just keep in mind that this is not going to be based on Archie. It is going to be based on the fan comic from over at FUS. So it's going to be a little different.
You know I'm fairly young but when growing up, my dad had this show on dvd and I watched it all the time. Now I'm showing the show to my younger sister. This shower up on my recommended, and I thought I was dreaming. I truly hope everything goes well because every fan of this show is anxiously waiting to see this project come to life. Good luck to you all, can't wait for the finished product.
Please bring this show back, it never deserved to be canceled in the first place. I still remember only having access to a few episodes to the show as a kid and loving it while playing Sonic 1-3 (&Knuckles) on the Sega Genesis as a little kid in the 90s. This trailer is way past cool! Got a rush of nostalgia and goose bumps, music, animation, and artstyle reminded me of the original show in the best ways possible.
Man, this series meant a lot to me in my childhood. Even now, with some of the rose-tinted glasses removed, it still holds up in many ways. That being said, the idea of seeing where the story continues on from where the show left off is fascinating to me, yet I still have mixed emotions. Part of me is excited to see how this goes, while the other part of me is afraid of how it could go wrong, like so many other fan-made attempts before. As it is, from this trailer alone, the basic artstyle and feel seems to be very well-maintained, but how the rest pans out remains to be seen. The best way I can sum up the way I feel is in 5 words: “Please don’t f*ck this up.” I know it doesn’t necessarily sound encouraging, but I _am_ putting a lot of trust in this project and will be following it closely. :)
Dude... "Don't fuck it up" is one of the highest praises you can give a Sonic content creator! It's essentially the 'running' catchphrase we've been saying for a decade+! That is life blood my guy! Anyone who's a Sonic fan knows _exactly_ how important "Don't fuck it up" is... We've been burned too many time to not ask it. XD
@@DGneoseeker1 For the most part, I agree with you. The comics definitely took some… “questionable directions” in various parts of its history. But the comics did have some redeeming qualities and even some good story arcs here and there. That being said, let’s hope that they take the good parts and run with them, but cut out all the crap that no one wants to see.
Great work. Honestly, this brought back childhood memories. The only feedback I'd give is it looks a bit too "clean." Needs more grit, dirt, rust. Remember, SatAM was notable for being darker and serious than other Sonic animated series. A grim despairing atmosphere in a metallic metropolis.
The animation is being done with modern technology, whereas the original was mostly cell-drawn and displayed on the 4 by 3 cathode ray tube televisions of the era-which were known to add grain to the image due to the raster scanning refresh rates of 60 Hz alternating between two sets of lines.
I just heard about this today please please please don't give up on this project. I'm 35 and I so desperately want to see a final season to this show, unofficial or officially. Please do this show right.
@@kingcamelot1395 Yup if Sega failed us again then the Fandom will do it themselves. There's a lot of great fan-game out there ironically better than anything Sega come up with for example Freedom Planet 2.
I can't believe we've come this far with tis project! I'm constantly amazed by the dedication the Sonic fanbase has towards the series, even something lesser known like SatAM. Keep up the good work! Can't wait for it to finally come out!
"even something lesser known like SatAM." To zoomers, maybe. (Not intended as a dig against zoomers. Honestly, as a millennial, Sonic fans my age and older probably go too far in putting this show on a pedestal).
As far as fanmade efforts go, this is next level. It's not 100% alike, and the movement in a few places is a bit sluggish, but the level of care, passion and effort on display is simply amasing. Looking forward to this becoming a reality.
Well this seems like a prototype, it’s marked as a trailer but some areas feel different qualities , got a feeling the full version will have everything up to the same quality
@@SBaby When I say the movement is a bit sluggish in places, I was mainly referring to the running cycles. Watching Sally and Bunny run so slowly is jarring; it looks more like pretend rather than be natural. I don't remember that being common in the program, though it has been years since I watched it, so perhaps my memory is messing with me a bit.
Speaking as someone who isn't into Sonic SatAM... man, this is absolutely incredible! Great to see that, although not official, you guys are finally getting the third season you should've gotten back in the 1990s. Go, Team Sea3on!
This is probably the most nuanced and mature approach to continuing the series that could be conducted. Much like the end of the Cold War, though the larger threat has been eliminated the ideologies that birthed it remain and thus complicate a proper conclusion. The fight for freedom never ends, especially during peacetime.
i grew up watching SatAM and i still watch it today at the age of 24 and it will never get old and am glad that these guys are bring in a new season that we have been waiting for for over 20 years
As a kid I got to watch this show on a dvd and I loved it. Still a great show even now, the amount of effort going towards this is insane. I can’t even describe how excited I am just from seeing this.
If this can come back after all these years, I can see a galactic kids next door in the future. I love it when the old stuff comes back. Looking forward to seeing this
This is going to be a Sonic cartoon comeback to remember. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for the freedom fighters!!!!! You guys are incredible at keeping this alive after nearly three decades, I commend you all for putting the time, effort, passion and depth into this project, you guys deserve every bit of this success. The long wait is going to 100% pay off I'm also laughing at Tails at 0:26 he's just out of it lol
YOU ACTUALLY GOT JOHNNY TO SING THE THEME SONG?? LET’S GOOOOOOO Some of my earliest memories of Sonic were those of binge watching DVDs of this show on the TV in my parent’s bedroom. I absolutely LOVED the theme song so much. A few years later, my grandmother started buying me all of the volumes of the Sonic Archives compilations for the Archie comics because she knew how much I loved Sonic (still have all of them in boxes). This show was one of the main things that really ignited my love for Sonic. I cannot wait for this to release!!
Holy mother of God this looks incredible!!!! I'm actually really excited to see how this turns out!!! And Crush 40???? Singing the op????? Y'all are absolutely incredible!!!!!
I loved this show as a kid! I couldnt believe they made THREE SONIC series at the same time, but couldn't just keep this one going, especially since it ended on a cliff hanger. Just the idea of this is like magic.
This project came at a good time too because people were starting to really forget about SATAM and we were entering a scenario where people remember Underground more than SatAM. Nice to see recognition brought back to the series.
I like that Sally's voice actress is able to voice her character's frustration and anger at her plight so well. She really sounds like everything she's worked so hard for has been yanked out of her grasp, and it's got her on the verge of tears.
@@thegameknight8916 tbqh it’s not that great, props to the actor but. (I doubt they are a professional VA, it’s nice, but definitely not as emotional as you said, to clarify)
@@XSlimSxadyX Well, we can agree to disagree. But if I can offer a point for the VA: She sounds like she's trying very hard to not let her anger get the better of her, but she's definitely frustrated.
I heard that Fiona Fox will cameo in the 1st episode, it's nice to hear that Team Sea3on gained permission from Michael Gallagher and also gained permission from Karl Bollers to have Mina Mongoose cameo (she can be seen partying in the trailer).
With how long this is taking to come out, something tells me this isn’t just an episode, and if that’s the case, I’ll wait as long as I need to. Keep up the incredible work, team s3ason.
Dude… You lunatics, THIS IS AMAZING!!!! As someone who has finally finished Satam not too long ago, I’ve been hoping to see a continuation of this and it’s happening!!!!! And the Crush 40 singing the theme is an added bonus to how great this is looking! I’m looking forward to the rest of this!!!!!
All those Camera angles. Brilliant! Love those perspectives that have that ninties feel ❤🎉😊 Saturday mornings my cartoons are on. Instead of 24/7 kids with ipads access to every show. They FOUGHT for our attention back then
My body, snacks, and drinks are ready. Can't wait for the premiere. Thoughts: This has got me even more hyped for the series. Hopefully those who are working on the series had an amazing time working on it, because I bet we'll have a great time watching it. :)
I have very fond memories of this show. I recorded them all on vhs which was my most prized possession. SatAm Sonic had a depth and maturity like nothing else at that time or after if you ask me. I'm 37 now and I've recently got my 5 year old daughter hooked on this show.
I’m literally cheering so loud this is amazing. All this hard work culminating in this and more. Spectacular, showstopping, incredible. All the words!!!
I’ve been following this project for years and it’s so cool to see how much work you people put into this and how it turned out, absolutely excellent work!
This trailer... Oh boy this trailer! It was everything I hoped for. It was fantastic... No, it was mondo cool... No, not quite. It was way past cool! Kudos to the team of animators, voice actors, composers etc... who worked on this, and that I wish I could list in this comment. Thanks to anyone who had the idea to bring Johnny Gioelli to sing the iconic theme song that I can't stop listening to. Can't wait to see the pilot of the conclusion to this series I've fallen in love with ever since I discovered it, nearly half a decade ago.
I just found this today and it's wonderful. I started crying, I never though I'd see this show get a third season. I'll look into contributing to this soon. Sonic he can really move, Sonic he's got an attitude, Sonic your my hero, you really are.
I've been patiently, vaguely following this project for a long, LONG time... I wasn't sure when or if this day would come, but the fact it has and the fact it looks as good as it does.. you have made me extremely happy and are in the process of finally healing a wound inflicted when my very favorite show suddenly stopped coming on at all and never got new episodes despite being so popular and so hype with my generation, a show I've thought about regularly ever since, for DECADES... thank you
Being a fan of Sonic SatAM and the likes, I have excitement for Season 3. Everything about this is way past cool! Mass kudos goes out to you and your team's dedication to keep this project going along!
Given the fact that Mania started out as a fan project and got picked up by Sega gives me hope that they'll support this too. Though, with the inclusion of Archie-Exclusives, like Mina and Jules potentially being present, there will be cause for taking care with which ones they use. (They can't use Scourge, or Lien-Da, for example. Since they're owned under Penders.) Though, it's likely they'll only be there for supporting roles, or as background characters, like in the comics. Since this seems to be heavily focusing on the core team, like with the original show and rebooted comic, than as an ensemble, like with Archie. There is a chance it'll be given the thumbs up and with hope, maybe it'll be televised. But we'll have to wait on that.
@@wadeyhyena1657 I thought about it too, but I think that it won't be a problem if they take things carefully. I really hope SEGA can give support to this amazing proyect.
Please never give up on this project I have gotten shivers down my spine seeing this I grew up with this show and am so proud it’s getting what it deserves 30 years later
Oh my GOD!!!! This looks incredible! I have akways loved the SatAM world and its characters, and to see a continuation ti the serues with this much love and care out into it is PHENOMENAL. You guys have out your heart and souls into this and it shows! Cant wait to see it!
I wonder if we’re going to get things intended for the original season three like the origin of Mobius, how Robotnik and Snivley were the last humans alive, and Nicole’s backstory.
@@prufan Nicole's backstory was iffy with Ben Hurst, because he said it was one of the things that wasn't necessarily set in stone. Knuckles was, Antoine, Bunnie and Dulcy getting arcs was, Tails going on more missions was, but he had multiple ideas for Nicole's backstory. However, the one used in the comics is a good one.
Yeah....they pretty much chose not to include Dulcy. Like at all since they want to go with more of the season one aesthetic combined with season two going forward. Quite a shame since some of us actually liked her and would've wanted to see as much closure with Ben Hurst's intentions as much as possible.
My god. This fandom's ability to hold a grudge and never give up on something is truly awe inspiring.
I still want the remake of Thunder cats from the 2000s back.
Spite, a wise man once said, is an excellent motivator.
@@aerfwefd7334 and love for an art form
Never underestimate the Sonic fanbase, it's simultaneously the best and worst at the same time.

Ben Hurst must be crying his eyes out (tears of joy) up in Heaven. Rest easy Ben.
Kinda like 'Another' Metroid 2 Remake making to completion and legitimately being one of the greatest games ever in its own right.
Thank you so much for all the kind words. We will try our darnest to live up to those expectations!
For some reason, the shots I see with Sonic animation seem to flow better than the actual show.

To answer the first part of the post, yes. It is going to be Naugus, and yes, we are getting at least one more character (Knuckles). Just keep in mind that this is not going to be based on Archie. It is going to be based on the fan comic from over at FUS. So it's going to be a little different.
@@SBaby
Will Robotnik be in this season? Or is he really and truly gone post-Doomsday Project?
@@bigboi5545 They haven't brought him back yet, but I suspect they will at some point, because that was in Ben Hurst's notes.
@@SBaby Yeah Archie was similar but not the same. I hope it succeeds it's just a shame Ben Hurst (RIP) won't get to see it.
@@SBaby RIP Ben Hurst
You know I'm fairly young but when growing up, my dad had this show on dvd and I watched it all the time. Now I'm showing the show to my younger sister. This shower up on my recommended, and I thought I was dreaming. I truly hope everything goes well because every fan of this show is anxiously waiting to see this project come to life. Good luck to you all, can't wait for the finished product.
Been following this project for a while and this looks incredible! Crush 40 singing this is just the cherry on top of the absolutely amazing animation
Please bring this show back, it never deserved to be canceled in the first place. I still remember only having access to a few episodes to the show as a kid and loving it while playing Sonic 1-3 (&Knuckles) on the Sega Genesis as a little kid in the 90s.
This trailer is way past cool! Got a rush of nostalgia and goose bumps, music, animation, and artstyle reminded me of the original show in the best ways possible.
Man, this series meant a lot to me in my childhood. Even now, with some of the rose-tinted glasses removed, it still holds up in many ways. That being said, the idea of seeing where the story continues on from where the show left off is fascinating to me, yet I still have mixed emotions. Part of me is excited to see how this goes, while the other part of me is afraid of how it could go wrong, like so many other fan-made attempts before.
As it is, from this trailer alone, the basic artstyle and feel seems to be very well-maintained, but how the rest pans out remains to be seen. The best way I can sum up the way I feel is in 5 words: “Please don’t f*ck this up.” I know it doesn’t necessarily sound encouraging, but I _am_ putting a lot of trust in this project and will be following it closely. :)
Dude... "Don't fuck it up" is one of the highest praises you can give a Sonic content creator! It's essentially the 'running' catchphrase we've been saying for a decade+! That is life blood my guy! Anyone who's a Sonic fan knows _exactly_ how important "Don't fuck it up" is... We've been burned too many time to not ask it. XD
Hopefully it doesn't continue by turning into the comics...
@@DGneoseeker1 For the most part, I agree with you. The comics definitely took some… “questionable directions” in various parts of its history. But the comics did have some redeeming qualities and even some good story arcs here and there. That being said, let’s hope that they take the good parts and run with them, but cut out all the crap that no one wants to see.
@@GreenEyedWolf404 so basically... everything Ken Panders wrote..
@@GreenEyedWolf404 if your making a show with comic stories it should only be idw
Great work. Honestly, this brought back childhood memories. The only feedback I'd give is it looks a bit too "clean." Needs more grit, dirt, rust. Remember, SatAM was notable for being darker and serious than other Sonic animated series. A grim despairing atmosphere in a metallic metropolis.
A touch of BTAS might help that.
They need a grain filter tbh
The animation is being done with modern technology, whereas the original was mostly cell-drawn and displayed on the 4 by 3 cathode ray tube televisions of the era-which were known to add grain to the image due to the raster scanning refresh rates of 60 Hz alternating between two sets of lines.
@@lord_bobanewname4069 Agreed, a grain filter would make a ton of difference.
basically add half a drop of grimdark.
Those red eyes in the bush at the end of season 2 have haunted me since childhood. Thank you for bringing this show back... Good luck!
Robotnik alive.
I just heard about this today please please please don't give up on this project. I'm 35 and I so desperately want to see a final season to this show, unofficial or officially. Please do this show right.
We got you!
@@TeamSea3on TYSM WE NEED THIS
Sorry but as long as ken Pender still hold the Sonic Archie character's, This series will never be made, why else you think the Archie comics change
Ben Hurst is cheering in his grave, he would be so proud and honored by this.
I can't believe its finally here. I remember when the first teaser came out all those years ago.
The voices and animtion are on point! 👌😌
@@adamdenardis5438 I agree! They nailed them! It truly feels like a continuation of the original cartoon!
Me too, Munchnchrunch.
You know you had something special when this many years later people are still stoked for this show
That's the thing about us Sonic Fans, we never forget, and it takes a whole lot to make us forgive.
@@kingcamelot1395 Yup if Sega failed us again then the Fandom will do it themselves. There's a lot of great fan-game out there ironically better than anything Sega come up with for example Freedom Planet 2.
I can't believe we've come this far with tis project! I'm constantly amazed by the dedication the Sonic fanbase has towards the series, even something lesser known like SatAM. Keep up the good work! Can't wait for it to finally come out!
"even something lesser known like SatAM."
To zoomers, maybe. (Not intended as a dig against zoomers. Honestly, as a millennial, Sonic fans my age and older probably go too far in putting this show on a pedestal).
@@ingodwetrust4729 Sonic Underground? You wash your mouth out with soap! That series was almost as bad as A.O.S.T.H..
As far as fanmade efforts go, this is next level. It's not 100% alike, and the movement in a few places is a bit sluggish, but the level of care, passion and effort on display is simply amasing. Looking forward to this becoming a reality.
This looks better than much of the original show to be honest
Actually, it's a bit of an upgrade from the original show.
Well this seems like a prototype, it’s marked as a trailer but some areas feel different qualities , got a feeling the full version will have everything up to the same quality
@@fossilrecd Honestly, if anything, this is a slight upgrade. The original show had alot of animation hiccups in it. And we see barely any here.
@@SBaby
When I say the movement is a bit sluggish in places, I was mainly referring to the running cycles. Watching Sally and Bunny run so slowly is jarring; it looks more like pretend rather than be natural. I don't remember that being common in the program, though it has been years since I watched it, so perhaps my memory is messing with me a bit.
Speaking as someone who isn't into Sonic SatAM... man, this is absolutely incredible! Great to see that, although not official, you guys are finally getting the third season you should've gotten back in the 1990s. Go, Team Sea3on!
We won’t let you down! ❤
Who knew we’d finally make it up here? I’m ready to see this trailer when it premieres!
Now all we need is A Fox In Space episode 2!
This is probably the most nuanced and mature approach to continuing the series that could be conducted. Much like the end of the Cold War, though the larger threat has been eliminated the ideologies that birthed it remain and thus complicate a proper conclusion.
The fight for freedom never ends, especially during peacetime.
Sally’s line exemplifies this:
“It was over! We WON!
bro its sonic
What makes you think the larger threat is gone?
@@SBaby The immediate threat has subsided, but the much more insidious threat of lingering ideologies and industry remains.
@@sonicmastersword8080 Trust me when I say that there are things on Mobius that are worse than Robotnik. Waaaaaay worse.
i grew up watching SatAM and i still watch it today at the age of 24 and it will never get old and am glad that these guys are bring in a new season that we have been waiting for for over 20 years
It's been so long, so many people who watch Sonic tas must be cheering and crying their eyes out.
As a kid I got to watch this show on a dvd and I loved it. Still a great show even now, the amount of effort going towards this is insane. I can’t even describe how excited I am just from seeing this.
If this can come back after all these years, I can see a galactic kids next door in the future. I love it when the old stuff comes back. Looking forward to seeing this
Oh yeah! I almoat forgot about Galactic Kids Next Door! It seemed to have disappeared of the face of the earth
If ever there was a show from my childhood that deserved a continuation or proper conclusion, it's this 😊
This is going to be a Sonic cartoon comeback to remember. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for the freedom fighters!!!!!
You guys are incredible at keeping this alive after nearly three decades, I commend you all for putting the time, effort, passion and depth into this project, you guys deserve every bit of this success. The long wait is going to 100% pay off
I'm also laughing at Tails at 0:26 he's just out of it lol
The online comic ain't bad either.
Apparently Tails is suppose to be a bit more rebellious in Season 3
I am so glad this series is gonna be revived
I could barely believe my eyes when I saw this. My childhood has returned.
YOU ACTUALLY GOT JOHNNY TO SING THE THEME SONG?? LET’S GOOOOOOO
Some of my earliest memories of Sonic were those of binge watching DVDs of this show on the TV in my parent’s bedroom. I absolutely LOVED the theme song so much. A few years later, my grandmother started buying me all of the volumes of the Sonic Archives compilations for the Archie comics because she knew how much I loved Sonic (still have all of them in boxes). This show was one of the main things that really ignited my love for Sonic. I cannot wait for this to release!!

I really hope sega will hired you for this
Us too!
Me alegra saber que continúan el trabajo por no olviden que los Latinoamericanos también queremos verla en español latino.
Holy mother of God this looks incredible!!!! I'm actually really excited to see how this turns out!!! And Crush 40???? Singing the op????? Y'all are absolutely incredible!!!!!
I got to admit nicely done and the animation models of definitely honoring the 90s version feels like my childhood again
Is this real!? Or fake? Or I don't even know anymore.
@@sashawaybright2698 yep its legit check out thier page
I loved this show as a kid! I couldnt believe they made THREE SONIC series at the same time, but couldn't just keep this one going, especially since it ended on a cliff hanger. Just the idea of this is like magic.
This project came at a good time too because people were starting to really forget about SATAM and we were entering a scenario where people remember Underground more than SatAM. Nice to see recognition brought back to the series.
I'm really looking forward to this. Can't wait to see who's voicing who?
It's this for real?
@@johnsantos507 Yep.
I like that Sally's voice actress is able to voice her character's frustration and anger at her plight so well.
She really sounds like everything she's worked so hard for has been yanked out of her grasp, and it's got her on the verge of tears.
@@thegameknight8916 tbqh it’s not that great, props to the actor but. (I doubt they are a professional VA, it’s nice, but definitely not as emotional as you said, to clarify)
@@XSlimSxadyX Well, we can agree to disagree.
But if I can offer a point for the VA:
She sounds like she's trying very hard to not let her anger get the better of her, but she's definitely frustrated.
satAM was my childhood, I can't wait to see what you guys do with this amazing project!
Don't let us down!
I heard that Fiona Fox will cameo in the 1st episode, it's nice to hear that Team Sea3on gained permission from Michael Gallagher and also gained permission from Karl Bollers to have Mina Mongoose cameo (she can be seen partying in the trailer).
Over 10 years later, we are finally here!
Ben Hurst would be so proud! Really looking forward to this 💖
With how long this is taking to come out, something tells me this isn’t just an episode, and if that’s the case, I’ll wait as long as I need to. Keep up the incredible work, team s3ason.
Can't believe y'all got Crush 40 to do the opening song. This is gonna be awesome!!
Dude… You lunatics, THIS IS AMAZING!!!! As someone who has finally finished Satam not too long ago, I’ve been hoping to see a continuation of this and it’s happening!!!!! And the Crush 40 singing the theme is an added bonus to how great this is looking! I’m looking forward to the rest of this!!!!!
All those Camera angles. Brilliant! Love those perspectives that have that ninties feel ❤🎉😊 Saturday mornings my cartoons are on. Instead of 24/7 kids with ipads access to every show.
They FOUGHT for our attention back then
This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. My childhood keeps getting brought back by dedicated people like you.
This looks great, love all of the backgrounds!
I know. The backgrounds look incredible, and the character designs are almost exactly like they were in the original series.
Finally! After 30 years, we are getting Season 3 of the Sonic SatAM. I can't wait to see this. Props to everyone working on this.
finally, satam getting the season 3 it deserved.
My body, snacks, and drinks are ready. Can't wait for the premiere.
Thoughts: This has got me even more hyped for the series. Hopefully those who are working on the series had an amazing time working on it, because I bet we'll have a great time watching it. :)
Bro, I'm a 35 year old man with tears of joy rolling down his cheek.
Thank you Johnny and Season3 crew.
We are also 35 😂
39 here. Watched it back when I was 9-10 years old. I’m supporting this all the way! Even became a supporter of this project via Patreon
UNBELIEVABLE, I’M DEFINITELY LOVING ALL OF THIS (ANIMATION, VOICE TALENT AND THE UPDATED THEME SONG), ITS WAY WAY WAY WAY PAST COOL!!
My childhood is coming back to me and I am very, VERY excited 👀
I have very fond memories of this show. I recorded them all on vhs which was my most prized possession. SatAm Sonic had a depth and maturity like nothing else at that time or after if you ask me. I'm 37 now and I've recently got my 5 year old daughter hooked on this show.
What are the chances!!!??? I was literally JUST looking for this again after months and now there’s a trailer coming TODAY!!! I’m hype!!!
This is going to be awesome. Team Sea3on, you all ROCK!!!!
I'd actually watch this! I love that someone willing to stop this cliff hanger. HOPEFULLY YOU GUYS FINISH THUS SOON I'LL PROBABLY LOVE IT!
I’m literally cheering so loud this is amazing. All this hard work culminating in this and more.
Spectacular, showstopping, incredible. All the words!!!
I’ve been following this project for years and it’s so cool to see how much work you people put into this and how it turned out, absolutely excellent work!
This version of Sonic was always my absolute favorite. I'd love to see a show that brings these characters back together! So exciting!
Nice trailer short but to the point and now I'm so excited to see the first episode of season 3
OMG, this just took me back in time to watching the original SatAM. Thank you all! This looks fantastic. I cannot wait to see the rest.
looks good guys, keep us updated. If you keep on keeping the momentum you might get a lot of traction and thus, have it aire.
This trailer... Oh boy this trailer! It was everything I hoped for. It was fantastic... No, it was mondo cool... No, not quite. It was way past cool! Kudos to the team of animators, voice actors, composers etc... who worked on this, and that I wish I could list in this comment. Thanks to anyone who had the idea to bring Johnny Gioelli to sing the iconic theme song that I can't stop listening to. Can't wait to see the pilot of the conclusion to this series I've fallen in love with ever since I discovered it, nearly half a decade ago.
Looks good! Glad to see the series coming alive again. I've alway wanted to see a continuation of this or Archie in a video series.
I just found this today and it's wonderful. I started crying, I never though I'd see this show get a third season. I'll look into contributing to this soon. Sonic he can really move, Sonic he's got an attitude, Sonic your my hero, you really are.
You guys have put in so much work, thank you for keeping SatAm alive!
I've been patiently, vaguely following this project for a long, LONG time... I wasn't sure when or if this day would come, but the fact it has and the fact it looks as good as it does.. you have made me extremely happy and are in the process of finally healing a wound inflicted when my very favorite show suddenly stopped coming on at all and never got new episodes despite being so popular and so hype with my generation, a show I've thought about regularly ever since, for DECADES... thank you
this is totally the type of comment I would leave. I feel you, right there with you~
I've never watched Sonic SATAM, yet I'm still happy that this exists.
This is absolutely awesome! I’m so excited can’t wait to see the full season
Being a fan of Sonic SatAM and the likes, I have excitement for Season 3. Everything about this is way past cool!
Mass kudos goes out to you and your team's dedication to keep this project going along!
SEGA needs to see this. Like, holy cow, I'm impressed at how amazing it looks!
Props to everyone that is involved!
Given the fact that Mania started out as a fan project and got picked up by Sega gives me hope that they'll support this too. Though, with the inclusion of Archie-Exclusives, like Mina and Jules potentially being present, there will be cause for taking care with which ones they use. (They can't use Scourge, or Lien-Da, for example. Since they're owned under Penders.) Though, it's likely they'll only be there for supporting roles, or as background characters, like in the comics. Since this seems to be heavily focusing on the core team, like with the original show and rebooted comic, than as an ensemble, like with Archie. There is a chance it'll be given the thumbs up and with hope, maybe it'll be televised. But we'll have to wait on that.
@@wadeyhyena1657 I thought about it too, but I think that it won't be a problem if they take things carefully.
I really hope SEGA can give support to this amazing proyect.
How to get Sega to see this? I left several comments on their UA-cam page, but otherwise I'm not sure how to get their attention...
@@wadeyhyena1657 Really? What other characters are owned by Penders?
@@kingcamelot1395 Elias, Hershey, Geoffrey, Drago, Lightning, Dimitri, Gae-Na, Locke. To name a few, of course.
Rest in peace,
Ben Hurst. Your legacy will live on.
This is so frickin wild
Can't believe this is a real thing
Please never give up on this project I have gotten shivers down my spine seeing this I grew up with this show and am so proud it’s getting what it deserves 30 years later
this looks incredible, I can't believe you got Johnny Gioeli to sing this.
Oh my GOD!!!! This looks incredible! I have akways loved the SatAM world and its characters, and to see a continuation ti the serues with this much love and care out into it is PHENOMENAL. You guys have out your heart and souls into this and it shows! Cant wait to see it!
Well. Tonight started with an attempt to relive my childhood. See if it still held up. And now I have something to look forwards too.
Welcome to the party fam!
Amazing just amazing I love how they replicated the animation but also put a modern spin on it
I wonder if we’re going to get things intended for the original season three like the origin of Mobius, how Robotnik and Snivley were the last humans alive, and Nicole’s backstory.
you probably won't get that last one, since the Sea3on comic already revealed a different backstory for Nicole.
@@prufan Nicole's backstory was iffy with Ben Hurst, because he said it was one of the things that wasn't necessarily set in stone. Knuckles was, Antoine, Bunnie and Dulcy getting arcs was, Tails going on more missions was, but he had multiple ideas for Nicole's backstory. However, the one used in the comics is a good one.
Yeah....they pretty much chose not to include Dulcy. Like at all since they want to go with more of the season one aesthetic combined with season two going forward. Quite a shame since some of us actually liked her and would've wanted to see as much closure with Ben Hurst's intentions as much as possible.
@@EnclaveSOC-102 I don't know if that means they're NOT including her at all, or that they just haven't included her yet.
@@SBaby
If they do go with her original backstory, I hope they bring back the "Holo-Lynx" Form from Archie Comics (I do my research; youtube & fandom)
I am all in on season 3! I’ll look forward to seeing this show return!
THIS TRAILER IS AWESOME!! SO HYPE FOR THE FULL SERIES!!
