Should Chozetsu Dynamic stay as the OP for the whole run?

[Theophrastus]

For the purposes of this thread let's just assume Super will continue to be produced indefinitely.

Do you think the series should keep the same opening song for its entire run, like with the first Dragon Ball anime and GT? Do you think it should eventually change the song (and entire animation sequence) like Z did when it went from Head Cha-la to WE GOTTA POWER? If so, after around how many episodes do you think the change should occur?

Personally, I love it when anime do new openings with new songs and entirely new animation sequences specific to whatever story arc the series is on at the time. It's a bit late to go all the way with something like that for Super now that it's starting its fourth arc, but I'd still really like it if they could pull off something like the One Piece anime does where there's a completely new opening approximately every 50-60 episodes. I think that strikes a pretty good balance between being significant and memorable and also keeping things somewhat fresh.

What would everyone else prefer?

I like it by now so I guess it is fine to stay for the rest of the series. However I like an English fan version I have listened to on youtube even more.

I've heard that one too if we are thinking of the same one. Only thing that bothers me is some of the lyrics are a really loose translation it .

OP Question: Yes..I actually think it fits the series really well.

I do not care so much about lyrics when it comes to music.

I'm personally not a fan of its OP. It didn't even catch my interest when it played during the Goku vs Hit fight.

Should it change? Yeah, sure. But I wouldn't mind if it didn't. Will it change? No. Most likely not.

Yeah same one. I like it too.

I like lyrics and I think his are fine as they are, but some of the actual translations I've read are just a bit more epic. Granted they would be hard to sing in English.

I want new openings. Very bored of the current one at this point.

Unfortunately, I don't see them changing it. Not until we reach over a hundred episodes at a guess, or until Super is in a better place production-wise.

[Lord Beerus]

As much as I really like Chozetsu Dynamic, I would really would like to see a new OP to mix things up.

[Neon Z]

I really think the opening should change, especially if they want to go ahead with the change of atmosphere in the Trunks' arc. It's odd how basic elements like recap and next episode bgms changed, but the opening song remained the same.

I think it depends how long Super goes. I don't see it going on longer than 125 at the most. If it does go that long I'd be okay with 2-3 changes but I really hope they choose a good song.

[Avok]

My ideal scenario is both the opening song and animation changing every 25/26 episodes, or with every arc.

[RedRibbonSoldier#42]

I kind of miss the days when anime had just one or two OP for the entire run. I think its makes the songs more iconic and tied to the series. When we get a new song every 12 episodes like modern seasonal shows, they all seem exchangeable and discardable. It doesn't help that they are just not as hot blooded anymore. I want more You wa Shocks and Pegasus Fantasies.

Are you familiar with Toriko? The anime overall wasn't a great adaptation (the abrupt non-canon ending being especially bad), but it took a pretty old-school approach to its OPs:

I like the song but different openings will really make each arc feel special just like the endings.

[Anime Kitten]

I really hope they change it. The vocalist is too... boring. Maybe when Season 2 rolls around, they will. I hope...

I'm up to date with the manga via shonen jump, I've only seen a few episodes of the show. I like it but it's been going way too fast since Area 7. The op's have a unique flavor but they're not quite classic tier.

[Super Saiyan Swagger]

I like the opening, but I could definitely go for a new one right about now. One thing that irks me is not the song itself, but the opening animation with Goku, Vegeta and Gohan fighting some nameless Freeza soldiers. They could replace that with more relevant stuff like the gang fighting Goku Black or literally anything else over what it currently is.

[ArchedThunder]

I'd really like a new OP, but I get the feeling now it isn't changing unless it goes past the end of Z.

Yeah, this is another thing. It seems like Super is in a much better place now than it ever has been but it remains to be seen how much better the production actually is. As of right now it seems to me like the main thing it needs now is some more talented animators and hopefully the seemingly improved schedule will result in more talented people popping in more often. Until Super has a sizable stable of talented animators (which hopefully won't take too long now, assuming the schedule is better like it seems) it might not be a good idea to do a new OP, unless of course they just had people not currently working on the show do it, or outsource it to a studio like Wanpak.

But I'm just stickin with my theory that we will be stuck with this OP until we go past the end of Z, which will hopefully be after this arc or the next.

I'd like to say no. When a major skip happens (such as moving beyond the end of Z pls ), they should change the opening theme. But I've noticed with some long-running anime that when a song they've used since the beginning finally changes, it's the final arc. It happened in DBZ's Buu arc, for example, when we switched from Chala Head-Chala to We Gotta Power. So my first thought when hearing non-Chouzetsu Dynamic would be "Super is coming to an end". Therefore, I have mixed feelings about it.

That makes me think we should have another series after Super and EOZ. I actually wouldn't mind, especially if it's a GT remake, but that would never happen so I'm fine with what we have.
