What do you mean when you say that GT's opening doesn't fit shonen? Shonen isn't a genre, it's a description of the target audience. To say that anything doesn't fit within it doesn't make sense, it's all context dependent.Alee9977 wrote:At least this OP makes sense for a shonen, not like GT, but despite of that, GT's op was wonderful but doesn't fit in a shonen

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
He probably meant that opening's lyrics don't fit a battle shonen, which is true for most, as it's about falling in love. I mean, it's a good song, but completely different from all the other openings and doesn't fit DB in particular, at least not as an OP.Jinzoningen MULE wrote:What do you mean when you say that GT's opening doesn't fit shonen?

And while "shonen" is literally "young boy", many people use "shonen" to refer to a genre, it's commonly accepted.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
I don't like Super's OP either. It's cause of the reasons many have mentioned already. The vocals are plain dead. There's hardly any passion. 70 episodes in, I still haven't got used to it and I don't think I ever will.
I would've liked it, if it was animated well. If the animators involved were given freedom to display their idiosyncrasies and there was some smart directing and post-processing, but it doesn't even have that. I hope it gets replaced soon.

How long do you think it may be before they decide to change the OP for Super or replace the opening song? If they ever do.
I'm not a huge fan of it either and I think they could do better.

Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
My wild guess would be episode 100, which would be around 2 year anniversary for Super.

Dragon Ball had the same opening song for its 3 years.Sodhi wrote:My wild guess would be episode 100, which would be around 2 year anniversary for Super.
Dragon Ball Z had the same opening for 4 years, and then another one for 2 years.
GT had one opening for almost a year and a half.
The point, of course, is that Dragon Ball tends not to have many opening changes.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
Maybe if they have a really big timeskip? I assumed part of the reason as to why the Z opening was changed was because post-Cell Saga, everyone looks so different, most of the old shots don't really fit. Especially everything with Goku and Gohan.
I don't find it likely they're going to do a timeskip, so I don't think it's likely they'll change the opening.

I could have gotten into anything...and yet I chose the story aimed at young Japanese boys about martial arts, and later about super-powerful aliens punching each other really hard.

Yeah, it's about a guy who wakes up being Yamcha and decides to train hard to avoid the things he knows that will happen to Yamcha. It's fun, but a little too rushed.Ki Breaker wrote:So I might have missed the announcement on kanzenshuu, but apparently there is a Yamcha spin off manga..

I noticed the front page changed the name for the next episode from "Death to Goku" to "Goku dies", any reason for that?

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
Maybe but #18's tracksuit reminds me of some race. Would she, or even Kuririn and Kamesennin, even participate? We can see 10 fighters... with Goten and Trunks they'd be 12... I don't know.vashter wrote:Maybe 12th Universe Tourney arc?
And wow, no one is talking about #17?
