It just so happens that even though a number of people disliked these episodes, the poor people in Japan who never got to see them in the first place would like to be able to do so. For Sonic X episodes 53-78 were released in the States and to an extent in Europe, but never made it to Japan, despite the fact the original work was done in Japanese.

Interest in these episodes indicates an untapped market for Sega, especially with regards to Sonic X. But it seems that all work on Sonic X whatsoever has ended, leaving us wondering: will SEGA respond, or will they ignore this, like (unfortunately) most fan attempts to get Sonic media from one region into another?
