What? This is actually a pretty good song. By Reel Big Fish! I'm sure the Japanese ver. is better but, you gotta give these guys credit for doing it. Not often do you have an actual band doing a cartoon intro, much less a dubbed anime. |

What's the deal about Cartoon Shows in America and having the title song have to have the title sung in it? (Usually in copious amounts)
I also detest the English dubbed Dragon Ball songs. Not because the singing is bad (Vic can sing), but because the production on the music usually isn't remotely as good as the original. (Ouran is a perfect example of this. The singing was fine, it just wasn't mixed at all well to match the original. ) Probably the only ones I genuinely like are Suzuka and Blue Gender. Though that's pushing it. I still prefer the originals. (Music is a universal language, so why does it need to be done?) Beck is the one exception though. The dubbed songs are just as good as the originals. Also: Sandy Fox can sing, you are just crazy. But is also another good example of the production work and mixing not being up to par with the original. Causing it to sound worse by default. Which is almost always the case with dubbed songs. |

Yeah, I also think saying that the Sandy Fox Unyielding Wish is the worst dubbed anime theme EVER is seriously exaggerating. Saying it's worse than the One Piece rap is pretty ridiculous.

Carl Finch's early covers for FUNimation were great. Yu Yu Hakusho, Dragon Ball, Blue Gender, Case Closed, Fruits Basket, etc. When he stopped producing FUNimation's songs, the quality, while still sometimes solid, wasn't as consistently good. They were produced and mixed well too, and were usually better than the Japanese songs. It helps the music was redone to fit.
For original songs, 4Kids and Saban did some great, memorable songs for shows I didn't care about, and I still know all the words a decade+ later. THAT'S the mark of a good theme song. |

Didn't that come on at the same time as "VR Troopers"? I'm guessing that might have had to do with it. And I miss dubbed songs as I'm better at singing in English than I am in Japanese. I also liked Sandy Fox's version of the Rayearth theme. |

Because check your mind-ears people, "Ronin Warriors" sound way cooler than "Samurai Troopers". "Samurai Troopers" sounds like something your grandpa would've watched when he was a kid back when this new-fangled japanimation was all black and white on static-y tube televisions. But yeah the show was awesome. I don't why but I keep remembering that one episode where the red guy's twin Swords of Inferno broke because they were TOO WEAK and he ended up replacing them with another dude's twin Swords of Ferber or Fervor, whatever they were called. In hindsight this was probably the first time in an anime that the phenomenon known as WEAPON UPGRADE left an impression on me such that I still remember it to this day. The next "weapon moment" wouldn't happen until Gundam Wing where Wing Zero's Twin Buster Rifle totally disintegrated an entire space colony in one shot. I've seen a lot of Gundam but I don't think I'll ever like a Gundam weapon as much as that Twin Buster Rifle. BTW was this article really from 2013? All the most recent posts seem to have come through the wormhole. |

I stand by my opinion from three years ago that the song is one of the worst things to reverberate off my ear drum. |
