Its probably the most famous anime opening of all time and part of global pop culture. It's a song that people sing on prime time television singing contests and variety shows throughout the world. Yet most Americans don't even recognize it? Wtf

Why would someone nostalgia over a song they have never heard before?

I wasn't aware it was sung anywhere outside of Japan or anime convention stuff. Or really even known by most of the casual viewer in the west.

That's because Americans had a putrid americanized theme as it was the norm with anime dubs at the time.

The rest of the world had the original Op dubbed

How are we supposed to know this opening? It was literally never shown when DBZ aired on toonami.

Would be nice to have a return of americanized themes instead of the often times unfitting shitty jpop themes.

It would be nice if we had more opening themes for tv shows altogether.

America getting usually shitty original music in order to either save money on licensing or make extra money on re-licensing to other countries was common with anime that was aimed to general audiences at the time, it still happens for some series too

personally, Butter-fly from Digimon Adventure is THE anime OP for me, it wasn't used in the TV airing here either but I was exposed to the original Japanese version elsewhere pretty early on

Nope. Italy had their own theme and to be honest it's probably my favorite one.
