Sonic X (WBC dub and revival) (Johnsonverse)

From 2013 to 2015, Johnson Television prepared a new dub of Sonic X with the current video game cast. The dub aired on WBC, and was produced via Johnson's 4K Entertainment division.

Background
Upon buying 4Kids Entertainment (later 4K Entertainment) Tim Johnson was unsatisfied with the 4Kids dubs of some of their shows, believing that the changes ruined the dubs for anime fans like him and his twin sister Chloe. He sought to make more accurate dubs of their shows under the new label, 4K Entertainment, which superseded 4Kids. One of the first new dubs 4K produced was Sonic X, which was dubbed by 4Kids and originally aired in the US between 2003 and 2006. With full knowledge of the Japanese language, Johnson personally translated all 78 episodes himself, and translated the opening and closing themes.

Casting
Many cast members from the video games reprise their roles in the new dub. Several big names were brought in to dub the human characters, such as Michael Douglas as Chris' father Nelson, and James Woods as Alfred Butler. Johnson himself voices Sonic's human companion Chris Thorndyke.

Theme music
"Sonic Drive", "Future (Mi-Ra-I)", and "T.O.P." were all performed by Johnny Gioeli and Jun Senoue of Crush 40, while "The Shining Road" was performed by Nikki Gregoroff (who performed "My Sweet Passion" in both Sonic Adventure games).
