It's post time! This year, the Sonic series turned 35 years old. The first game was released in 1991, so this is a big anniversary; especially since the series is still going strong even now. There's a lot of games, shows, movies, and merchandise available now. Which is exciting for fans. But, why has Sonic managed to stay so popular? It's likely because most people find Sonic as children, much like with things like Pokemon. But, like Pokemon, Sega understands that people eventually grow up, so they continue to create Sonic content for both children and adults. Because of this balance, it's likely that the Sonic series will continue to gain popularity over time. Sonic is one of those things that escaped the anime and gaming community early on, which means a lot of different people like it even if they aren't gamers or otakus. As time goes on, I hope Sonic can continue to grow and evolve like it has over time. Happy anniversary Sonic!
