Review
The Deepest Fear isn't on the whole, the worst episode they could have done. The problem which has always happened with different shows is how to stop the Main character from becoming a vitural God! Now Sonic could easliy be a God Character that can solve any problem and always win but for this, they decided to give him a Fear. Something which would limited him. The idea that Sonic is afaid of water isn't anything new. Really, he couldn't swim in the games, and different comics and books have kept with different views towards water. These range from not being able to swim to the complete fear of water he shows in this Episode. Now, if you do watch them with the Origins Story first, it doesn't ruin this at all but in fact, Helps this story by having his comment about baths. Anyway. In this episode, Sleet and Dingo have gotten the town on Robotnik's side so the Freedom Fighters aren't much liked around the parts. Again, not a new story idea but done okay. The Captian of the ship isn't that great but pretty much a stanard for all the SeaDog characters, without being a Dog himself.

The Song in the episode is probbly the weakest in the series. This might be partly due to the fact that it is being sang over a megaphone. The tie-in for it is that they are using Music as a sona which is a good idea really and then when they find the sub they are looking for, they use it because Sleet and Dingo don't like music, Flooding the Sea with the Sounds works pretty well really.

I can't think of any major Animator or story faults that jump out at me at the moment so that's pretty good. Overall probbly a 5 out of 10. Not the best but not the worst. Watch it a few times just not all in the same week ^_^

[Blue Arms] - When on the Back of Mobodeep, Sonic has Blue arms for a couple of frames.
[Medallions] - When Sonia is talking about needing to get the Sub to surface, a close up shows her with her Medallion on even though she just called her instrument.
[Medallions] - For Most of the Episode, Manic has his Drums out yet most of the time, he has his Medallion on. The Main time is when Sonic turns up on the Boat. Manic has moved away from his drums but wears his Medallion. In a couple of frames, his drums are even shown in the background and when the song starts, he doesn't call his drums proving they are out.
