Embers of the Past 

I really wish they'd bring Marine back, she's a perfect foil for Blaze. And if Silver was there as well the three of them would probably replace Team Dark as my favorite team

Blaze's voice actress deserves a medal. She sounds legitimately terrified during and after the nightmare sequence. Bravo.

I wish that the actual cutscenes and storylines of Sonic games looked like this, this is amazing

I like how Marine is done here, sure she does pester Blaze, but it's genuine and it actually feels like she wants to help her friend.

"To live in the past is to die in the present" - Tails

That was brilliant! You could really feel Blaze's panic & terror. I enjoyed the hints of the 06 events leading into the creation of the Sol Dimension, which I think was supposedly the original intention? I always liked it anyway. This also reminded me how much I miss Marine being featured in Sonic media. I loved her voice and mannerisms here! Still waiting for Sonic team to make Blaze, Marine, and Silver into an official Trio...

awww, Marine somehow managing to simultaneously be a bratty little sister, genuinely good friend, and questionable ship captain is so good to me. her and Blaze’s interaction in this felt so genuine, and Blaze’s laughter warmed my heart (pun entirely intended)

We need a movie like this. Like, we NEED it. The Sonic fandom is starving for this level of expressiveness

Loved the intense shot of Silver's glare. Loved Marine's sweetness. Loved Blaze's fear and comfort. All in all, loved it!

Marine is such a cutie in this, comforting Blaze after that nightmare

Beautiful. I kind of like to think that both Silver and Blaze might have some dreams about that timeline but write it off as just bad dreams without knowing the full context. But hey that’s just a headcanon.

You could really feel the intensity and the raw fear in blaze’s voice and breathing at the beginning there!! This is gold!!! 😃😃

Damn,Blaze really had a very traumatizing Past which we know that her Backstory still remains a Mystery to this day.

man, that nightmare sequence was scary as heck, your expressions really captured the feeling of despair in Blaze being back in Crisis city. ALSO MARINE LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

Wow ! I've never seen Blaze so scared like this before ! Actually I think I've never seen her like this at all. You can really see & hear her panic & terror, she really looks & sounds like she's about to break down & have a panic attack. Poor Blaze. She's always so strong & confident..... this really is a new side of her, I wish we could explore more often. I like the hints, that she remembers the events of 06 & that it might be a prequel to Rush. Maybe that's Iblis inside her soul, talking to her, trying to break free ? (nah I'm just joking....unless ? You think Iblis is still inside of her ?) "I am right where you left me". And the switch to Mephiles for a split second.... And who is that mysterious voice ? Anyway, I like all these little hints, I am having 100 theories again Also Marine was the funniest part. I didnt understand half the things she said, but I love her accent, it's amusing XD Also who is steering the ship ? XD I loved that part & seeing Blaze happy again. And.....may I just say how beautyfull that night sky is ? I actually find Marine annyoing in Rush Adventure but fans make me like her - mostly cuz the voice, funny accent & things she says XD Aaaaw everytime I relate more & more to Blaze. Marine is the comic relief & friend, she doesnt want but needed. Her not wanting to be hugged & talk about it...but needing it. Yup that could totally be me. The way how Blaze is so strong but also seeing her panicking.....she really is so strong. I also struggle with.....alot of things. And I just like seeing representation in fictional characters, without trying to romantise or hide the ugly, truths. It's so important to alot of people & makes me relate to the characters only more. Blaze's voice actress, really did an incredible job there, with all the emotions, it sounds so real & makes me feel bad for Blaze !

I was feeling really down just now. This made me smile and it made me laugh. Blaze is one of my favourite sonic characters and this was a lovely animation. The expressiveness in the movement and the voice acting is just phenomenal. Thank you for this :)

Ok, this is amazing. The animations are smooth and emotive, matching the feel of each scene be it serious or comedic. The VA's did an amazing job, Sydney Paige in particular makes for an amazing Blaze and Rioodies proves Marine can sound very endearing. Simple plot but it all works so well together; that funny ending with the crash was very important. Instant sub. Honestly this would be a perfect fit for Marine if Sonic Team decides to start using her again. Even without the '06 and Silver elements, Blaze is still a child simultaneously protecting the Sol Emeralds and running an Empire. Having Marine around to lighten the mood, comfort her and just make her laugh would be a big stress relief and grounded perspective for Blaze. Simultaneously, Blaze can be a guiding voice of reason and mentor for Marine as she grows and develops her abilities (maybe revisit that power she had at the end of Sonic Rush Adventures).

This shows that even though Solaris was erased, the time shift still left lingering memories on those who are directly involved with Solaris, as shown by Elise when she gets a deja vu after Sonic zoom by. Since Blaze was currently a new host of Iblis before the time paradox, she still have the memories but distorted into nightmares.

Oh man! The voice acting on Blaze is phenomenal!! She sounded like she was legitimately having a panic attack! Awesome job!

That’s was emotional, marine was actually helping blaze and I missed the good old rush days! ✨🙏💙

WOWEE!! This is literally movie quality, EVERYTHING! Incredible writing, animation, and voice work! This makes me miss Marine too, haha; she was so cute here. Great stuff dude.

Blaze and Marine's sister like friendship is so adorable

I never thought blaze would be actually nervous for something, but thats a GREAT reveal, THANK U SM FOR ANIMATING ITT!

YOOO! That was awesome! I don’t think I’ve ever seen Blaze so terrified before. And what a pleasant surprise to see Marine again! 😄 Man I miss Sonic Rush Adventure.

Another fantastic animation! Sydney absolutely rocked it as usual, SonicBlast was great as Silver, and Rio was super fun as Marine! An awesome balance of raw emotion and pure fun!

If Marine hears about Blaze mentioning Silver, she'll never hear the end of this.

The way Blaze wakes up from a nightmare is so real… It’s scary as hell… Good job!

Man! The way the lighting slowly brightens when Blaze see Silver, as if some light of hope or reassurance. But then it gets intense and crazy when he says "I'm right where you left me."😭💔 Your edits, and the cast's voices, are absolutely amazing!! I love it all!!! 🥰🤩

Wow, Blaze's voice is really good! Probably the best fan voice I've heard purely because of the raw emotion.

That was lovely. Poor Blaze tho, hope she’s okay.

These VAs are amazing damn. Awesome work.

Animation and lighting are very well done, with very good voice acting. I really liked Mephiles' theme during the nightmare sequence. Teared up in the first 30 seconds. Surprised to see Marine and nice to see it take place during Rush Adventure.

Sydney Paige is such a good voice actress holy shit. This whole video is great!

Omg, this is all so plausible. Amazing and everything.

The acting in this is incredible! And the story is amazing.

This is HANDS DOWN the BEST voice acting work I've EVER HEARD!!! Ms. Sydney has the fucking potential to voice act for movies! She added SO much fear in Blaze's voice.

Bro, i want more of these serious animations, they're so awesome.

The voice acting is freaking amazing! And the animation is so good too!

10/10 right here I love this so much. The " I'm right where you left me" line hurts 💔

Finally got to listen. Such an outstanding job! This may be my favorite to date!!!!!

I’m loving the Mephiles themed content I keep finding! This guy lets us see a part of the characters that we’ll probably never see in the games. I’m subscribing.

Amazing work! This looks straight out of the Archie Comics! :D

*Gives Blaze a Hug* there there, everything is Ok now, it was just a nightmare. We all have our inner demons, and we can make the paces with them, you just got to try.

I'm not gonna lie, when Marine started wiggling her fingers 2:19, I thought she was gonna tickle Blaze XD. Also, I'm really to have my artwork in the end. Thank you ^^

Blaze is one of my favorite female sonic characters

Man, Sonic Rush Adventure is an underrated gem.

DUDE the voice acting on my gosh this is great :D I wanna see more cute stuff with silver and blaze in your animation style, it's so good!

Marine is the friend that Blaze never asked for, but would not trade for anything in the world.

THIS IS THE BEST FAN MADE 3D SONIC ANIMATION I'VE EVER SEEN!

The voice acting for each of the characters and the animation was amazing. I’m really proud of how much this channel has grown and I hope one day I can learn how to do this for animation maybe even games for university.

what would have make this 10% more awesome is near the end of the nightmare you hear Mephiles laugh.

Blaze's terror was tangible, wow.

Blaze breathing sounds like a panic attack.

blaze is having a panic attack and Marine comes in all "!!!!" i love her

Wow, gotta love voice actor they put, and I am impressed

That was awesome 👌

I feel like giving her a hug.

Holy crap, this was such a well done animation. It looks amazing 👏

And this is why boats should come with an autopilot.

Outstanding animation. People already, but I'll say it too because it needs ro be streesed: Blaze's VA is phenomenal

1:11 at this moment i knew it wasn't silver he would never say that to the one freind he ever knew and was willing to sacrifice his live for her

Man I really hope SA 3 will be like this and not some child friendly story

I miss Marine, everything about this is amazing

I Like Marine's Voice

Mephiles Theme in the background makes this even more intense. Awesome vid. Hopefully RU-vid is not dumb again and labels another sonic video for kids

@pixelrush , You're amazing artist. Your animation definitely deserves my RESPECT, this is talent to show so good impressions, Blaze's fear how she scared of her tragic past is really makes me sympathize for her. Also voice actors are playing so natural, so awesome! I like them ☺️👍🔥💥✨! Thank you for those amazing animations 😆💞💗💟🌌🎆🎇✨💥🔥💖🌌

I seriously hope if they decide to do a Silver the Hedgehog game something similar to this would be the main plot

OMG! The voice acting and animation is incredible!!!! You need to teach me!

Marine is such sweetie to Blaze. Gotta love their friendship.😌🧡💜

Holy crap that is some top notch voice acting

And just like that, you gave Blaze more character development than Sonic 06 ever did.

This is a great nod to the lore

Amazing work.^^

Thanks for my photos to make about the artwork.

Man everything is so bouncy, I love it.

These are so well made. So expressive and we'll directed.

I just love the smell of fear

Yeesh that first part nearly had me panic! Felt like someone on the cusp of an attack so i almost had to pause it 😱 still absolutely brilliant tho!

That was great the voice acting and there was really good well done you did a great job you and your voice actors keep up the good work have a good day see you soon

The potential of stories that you could tell with the sonic ip is just fascinating

Why do I smell lore?

Everybody said what had to be said. I'll just say great job, thanks a lot.

If RU-vid doesn't look at the big glowing letters in the beginning and say to themselves "Maybe this video ISN'T made for kids" then I'm gonna cry.

Your animations are always so amazing and well done thanks for making this for us

I forgot Marine even existed ngl, needs to be brought back

This is magnificent. Well done, Pixel.

Yo shout outs to the voice actress of Blaze, incredible job

This could have been called "Rem-EMBER-ance"

The atmosphere in this one was perfect!

I really like the animation, but they are too fast from one position to the next. Also nailed Marine voice.

That was great. Blaze is the best

That's one outstandingly made animation, amazing job!

I love this channel. Excellent work like usual. 🖤

Yehea, another great video, even bringing back Marine. NICE JOB

i love when fans care more about the characters and their arc then sega

This is amazing.

This is INCREDIBLE!!

I’m dying from cuteness!

Awesome job!

This was so well done! Amazing work!
