Favorites : Dan Dan (fan of both Funi and JPN ones), the original Dragon Ball theme (I love the original version and the Funi one is pretty good) and for Endings : Zenkai Power and all of the GT ones (say what you will about the GT, but it had some damn fine music). As for hated ones : Rock the Dragon and the "dragon dragon ball, DRAGON BALL Z" one. And for endings : Probably the original Dragon Ball one.

Favorite intro- Makafushigi Adventure(Japanese) hands down. Cha-La-Head-Cha-La and Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku are tied for 2nd position.

Favorite outro- Boku Tachi wa Tenshi datta really no contest. It is my absolute favorite. Some of the other songs that i like are Blue Velvet, Romantic Ageruyo, Usubeni(i despise Super but this song is fantastic) and Zenkai Power.

As for hating pretty much all of the English intros especially Rock The Dragon and FUNI's DB intro this one https://youtu.be/mAm0JAnk6bg. It is just terrible. I also hate Chozetsu Dynamic.

As for outros that awful rap trash is easily the most hated outro for me. FUNI's DB outro is also terrible. I don't even remember all the English outros but none of them are good. Kokoro no Hane is another one which i despise.

Favorite Intro: Dan Dan kokoro hikareteku, (gonna cheat here a little since this wasn't made specifically for DB and give a second) Dragon Soul

Least Favorite Intro: Step into the Grand Tour

Favorite Outro: Sabitsuita machine gun de ima wo uchi nukou

Least Favorite Outro: Out of the ones I've heard? Light Pink. I have weird feelings on Blue Velvet because generally I'd love that type of music but it misses the marks for me, but I like it some more than Light Pink, which I don't hate but...yeah it's my least favorite

I think it was pretty obvious that a lot of people would have Dan Dan and step into the grand tour

My favorite opening is "Dan Dan". "Cha La Head Cha La is an honorable mention. My least favorite is "Step Into the Grand Tour". "Rock the Dragon" is an honorable mention. My absolute favorite ending at this point has gotta be the english version of "Yeah Break Care Break". I used to listen to that song constantly when I was younger. Ahhh the nostalgia make me wanna cry :cry: Now, for the most hated, the instrumental version of "Rock the Dragon" takes the cake. The instrumental version of the Faulconer Z opening is an honorable mention.

As for my favorites, I can't really rank which ones are my favorite. I guess I can only list off some of them :D
[*]Dragonball: Opening and ending in English; both are really good tunes, and the ending theme with Bulma really tugs at my heart strings for some reason.

[*]DragonBallZ: Cha-la-head-cha-la, We Gotta Power, We Are Angels from the JAP score, and the original English theme.

[*]DragonballZKai: Dragon Soul, and Break-Care-Break.I have a nostalgic connection with the English version of these, as I was introduced to DragonBall with Kai, especially with the ending theme. :)


Now, here's some of my least favorites:

[*]DragonBallGT: Step Into The Grand Tour. This one is sort of a guilty pleasure, but it's still really bad.

[*]DragonballZ Remastered DVD: Opening theme; they really should have either kept the original English song, the Japanese one, or just dubbed the Japanese one.

Favorite intro: Cha-La Head-Cha-La (Honorable mentions: Makafushigi Adventure (Japanese), Makafushigi Adventure (Funimation English version))
Least favorite intro: DBZ - Bardock, The Father of Goku/The History of Trunks Funimation English Dub Opening

Favorite outro: We Were Angels (Honorable mentions: Sabitsuita Mashingan de Ima o Uchinuko, Orange Hero)
Least favorite outro: Kai ending 2 (Don't particularly hate it, but it's just not my cup of tea.)

That was hard to choose, as I like pretty much like all of the Japanese soundtrack and some of the Funimation soundtrack, but some tracks are especially awful, like that ear-piercing opening from the Funimation version of the DBZ TV specials. Otherwise, I'm a fan of any of the catchy or high-energy openings and endings, such as We Were Angels, Makafushigi Adventure, and Orange Hero.

Favorite Intro: We Gotta Power, Bruce Falconer's DBZ opening, Rock the Dragon, Dragon Soul

Favorite Outro: Burning Fight, Kiseki no Big Fight, Saikyo no Fusion

Least favorite intro: Kuu Zen Zetsu Go(way too happy for Dragon Ball)

Makes a movie about old and weak major villains returning, or making recolored versions of Super Saiyan, I'ma come to yo company and evict you from doing Dragon Ball ever again! Only I do those things, because people love me, and they despise you....derp!

I like most of them but one I despise is the sheer hunk of junk that is FUNimation's "Hello Hello Hello." I always prefer the Japanese songs to the English ones because the lyrics sound better in Japanese while they're usually super corny in English.
"All of you. All of you must have KILL all the SEASONS!" -Dough (Tenshinhan), Speedy Dub of Movie 9.
