I heard DBS will have different credit sequences for each episode

Post by DragonBallFoodie » Fri Jan 20, 2017 1:25 pm

That sounds pretty interesting, and novel for a DB feature. It had done that only once previously, for the 2008 special with Tarble and Avo-kado.

The links below provide links on such concepts, and examples of them in effect.

DB has never really needed to use this concept before, simply because it didn't need to; its openings were IMO awesome and spectacular enough to not to rely on a technique. However, in this case, it appears that with the introudction of loads of characters, I guess the DBS credit sequence may try to feature them in a few frames or something. I hope it's done well in a cool manner.

There has been no word at this all, but it's not something anime has no seen before. The Idol M@ster had an original song and animation for each of its episodes endings.

I don't quite get it, is there a possibility the opening will change some scenes every episode?

That's the idea. The links I mentioned should show you what I mean.

I'm probably misunderstanding a section of your post but all Dragon Ball anime adaptions (Dragon Ball, Z, GT, Super) visually & progressively changed their opening cuts before. I'll Give You Romance had multiple variations, too.

I hope it will be more like the evolving credits link you posted, I don't want them to waste animation every week on the opening.

I heard it here actually, on one of the official broadcast/manga boards (sometime this week).

It's just a rumor for now, we need to see if anything serious happens.

If that's the case then, and I don't want sound like an asshole, but, do you think this thread should have made until there was at least a suitable amount of evidence instead of just going off of a rumour?

I don't know where it is now, but Ajay quoted someone (I don't know if it was a member of the Super staff or what) over on Twitter within the last week or so that was suggesting the current ending may evolve over the course of the cour it's due to run for. Which likely only means swapping out some of the "manga" panels with different panels. For example, maybe the Bluma one will be changed out for Bluma and Bra in 3 weeks.

Hmm. Really? That actually sounds interesting.

It was Ishitani Megumi, director of the current ED who tweeted that, but I can't find it.

This is the tweet where she said that there might be some changes in current ending as the time goes on.

You saved me from Lord Beerus dude! Thanks! He would have hakai'd me otherwise! :lol:

No, you got the understanding right. I had forgotten about those. They are pretty minor compared to what shows do today, but they count too.

I was expecting more, maybe guys wielding their powers. But this is okay.

After all, if a credits sequence is good enough it doesn't need anything extra.

Thanks for finding this! Sounds super interesting, I love the more detailed endings like the new (current) one, and Yoka dance was fantastic, would be cool looking for the different changes each episode

Yeah, so the credit sequence for the recent episode (EP 77) was hilarious. It's nice that this approach is working out well so far.

I really like this angle they're going with ED changing from each episode. Honestly, if this is what they're going for, then they should never change the ED for the entirety of Super's run.

I think this is very cool idea.
