I honestly wasn't expecting to see this scene from the Archie comics animated. This totally blew me away. Loved every second of it.

[malcolmandrews]

Tails standing up for himself is what I like seeing.

[KetwunsGamingPad]

Honestly this was so good to watch! It’s like seeing old mates having a fight for once! It’s like why can’t the video games be more gutsy like this and have Sonic and Tails fight each other? It’s just fun story telling. That one time in Sonic Lost World where Tails got mad was still light and trivial.

[tfpfan]

Whoever did the voice of Tails, did a awesome job! It definetly added a lot of emotion into it!

[LamondreKonde]

"The great sonic the hedgehog WASN'T QUICK ENOUGH" Had me Rolling on the ground laughing. XD

[KetwunsGamingPad]

I’m kinda looking forward to seeing Sonic and Tails fight more in the official Sega canon. Sometimes I keep thinking even best friends need some conflict to spice up their personified close relationship. I think they attempted this finally in Sonic Lost World and it wasn’t a bad start, but it was a bit tame.

[tailsfan_SonicSFM_Gamer]

Unbelievably well done. Your hard work truly paid off. Keep up the great work.

[DaveWnka]

At 2:28...I want to wrap my arms around poor Tails so he can express his sadness on my shoulder.

[TheBlackAntagonist]

Wow, this was genuinely tear jerking. Screw the guys that think the comics are a load of crap. I'd take a plot like this over sonic 1, 2 and/or three any day. Well done. Also the models are kinda sloppy but the emotion in the voice work and set up more than make up for it.

[fainalotea]

It was a great joy and honor to be there while this was in the works. Knowing that you've been wanting to create this since the very beginning makes it all the more amazing that this is finally out in the open for the world to see, and it looks better than I could've ever imagined it to be. All the months of hard work finally came down to this master piece, and I love everything about it. I also will never get over the little details you put in. The tears, gestures and little animalistic movements of the ears and tails of the characters really get me, and not many people pay attention to those things either. XD
It was an intense ride getting this thing out as I saw and heard from you, but you got through it and I think all the hard work turned out to be very worth it!

[misskitty]

*The emotion put into this acting is👌🏼*

[Camossu]

As a Tails fan, this is one of my favorite issues and seeing it animated like this just made me feel awesome! Amazing job with this one!! Keep it up! Still waiting for The Unifier!

[MarioMarioBW]

Wow, this is incredible! It's amazing how well this scene from the comic was recreated so well! Love seeing animations like these :D.

[firecracker]

"I thought you were my friend, I thought you were my brother, but everything I care about, you take away from me"

Damn, that cut deep!

The effort and emotion put into this is incredible. It's still amazing 6 years later. It would have been nice to have the entire comic included in this video. I miss the Archie series.

[daisy_maeHQ]

Tails’ actor/actress made me cry with their speech… Such emotion 😭

[exoticaura]

When Tails said "I thought your were my friend, I thought you were my brother. That got me deep.

[MrGojira]

No should dislike this video!!! Unless its Shadow...or Eggman. Tails and Sonic's voices are great. While reading the comics, this is how I thought they would sound. The animation is very smooth, and their eyes look great. Nice touch on the tears. This video got me back into the comics. Thanks man, and great job on this animated piece. I hope you go places with this talent!!!!

[BlueSkyBirdies]

I really like the fur texturing and color on the Tails model. Adding points on his ears and snout where the fur is darker is an amazing touch! And I adore the detail where they put a stripe of orange fur on Tails's nosebridge when normally his muzzle is completely white!

Edit: OH SHIT THEY PUT BLUE ON SONIC'S NOSEBRIDGE TOO!! AWESOME!

[DOBot]

People always hated this issue...but man, I can definitely relate to Tails. Thing is, friends can end up at odds with each other, it happens. Not with all friends of course, but definitely with those you work with. lol And seeing Tails is Sonic's sidekick he goes through quite a lot and never quite gets the gratitude or recognition he deserves. This also explains why he gets so bent out of shape in another issue concerning his abilities. He knows he's capable, but others fail to see it.

[JonnyCars]

That. Was. Amazing. Everything about this animation, from the models and voice acting to the actual movements, was amazing. And Mike, good job on that 17K subscribers. You deserve every single one, if not more! I've actually started reading some Sonic comics around November. But thank you for the amazing videos. Can't wait for more.
