Sega Sets Sonic Short Anime 'Memories and Beyond' for November 12
The short keeps the anniversary year running on screen rather than in merchandise alone, and the Japanese dub in preparation signals Sega is treating the Japanese audience as a day-and-date consideration for this one.

Sega released a trailer for 'Memories and Beyond ~To the Future of Memory~', a new short anime tied to the Sonic series' 35th anniversary, with a release date of November 12. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Rouge appear in the video, fighting Metal Sonic. The YouTube description states a Japanese dub is also in preparation.
The trailer went up on the official Sonic the Hedgehog YouTube channel, and the video description carries the part that travels less well: a Japanese dub is in preparation. Time zone differences could move the date, per the same post. The anniversary itself is the frame for the project. Sega's mascot has already spread past games into live-action films, anime, and comics, and the manga 'Isekai Ojisan' by Hotondieiru recently featured the character.
