One Piece is a meme opening. Nobody enjoys it unironically right? >_>

Actually funny thing, when I was a kid, I thought the original Pokmon theme song was embarrassingly cringey. But almost every other theme song and vocal track on the show was a total banger.

4kids did some unforgivable things, but they did give us that first Pokemon opening. A song you really wish had a cut about exercise or self confidence or something so you aren't jazzed by anime animals.

I watched both. I always checked to see what was playing at whatever time. WB Kids was Yu-Gi-Oh, Jackie Chan, and Pokemon and I'd go watch Fox Kids between.

And at some point, Dragon Ball Z had new episodes only on Saturdays so I had to somehow watch that also lol

being a kid in the 90s/early 00s was lit.

I keep hearing about a remake of the series and I really want that to come true damn it!

I loved Shaman King as a kid. That opening really puts tingles down my spine.

As for One Piece, by the time I got to One Piece, I had already started watching the sub and the dub was cringey already. I was already hooked on the manga too so when I saw the changes, I was pretty sad. I think the series would have been better for me if I had not already knew about it.

I won't even go look up differences of Shaman King's dub and original lol..I won't do that to myself.

They did for a couple fight scenes scenes, but they cut out a lot of the first two episodes and I'm not sure the show even got a full run.

For my thirteenth birthday, my parents bought me the whole VHS set of the anime with subtitles. It was real yarr.

Aw, yeah. That one, I had on DVD because I was real fan. Very pretty, very interesting, even though it was like a total different imagining of the story. I liked Sora so much that I considered making it a future a lullaby if I had had kids.

I tried to find the manga at every convention I went to for years, but could only find numbers 1, 2 and 4.

What's the 2nd anime?

And a lot of these sound the same to me. Super high BPM, song slows down a bit and gets a bit sentimental about 3/4 in, and then speeds up.

And this is the best Outlaw Star intro:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skJlNAHDSYc

And wow they didn't censor the topless girl in the intro. Thought that'd at least put on bikini straps on her shoulders or something

Frontier started pretty strong but went off the rails and never recovered.

Which is a shame because it was working with a lot of great ideas

also hot take, but the original Digimon theme song is pretty bad as a vocal track, but the various arrangements that were used in the score were all great

I own three of the four uncut DVDs 4kids released. Two for YuGiOh and one for Shaman King. They are a fascinating mess. The uncut dub is awkward and stilted as it seems like the actors are reading from a directly translated script. Like no alterations were made to make it feel natural in English. Makes for an entertaining watch. It was nice they tried to release the shows uncut but 4kids couldn't even get that right.

Princess Principal

Cute girls doing badass spy things in a steampunk alternate universe version of London. The English dub of the show even gives the girls fitting English accents, which are done really well and really help the immersion into the setting.

Oh, I know. I couldn't even post my favorite one from Shana because it's the first OP of season 3 and has massive spoilers in it.

You know I wonder what an English person speaking Japanese sounds like. Japanese with an English accent. I wonder if they even have an accent. I heard that English uses a much larger array of human sounds to form their words than other languages. Because of that, when learning a new language, they can adapt to the new language's correct accent quickly.
