Does anyone else dislike Zenkai Power?

[penguintruth]

I love it and sing along every time I watch DBZ.

It's really cheesy, but it's very catchy and cute. It beats some of these tired, forced J-Pop endings we get today.

[dbboxkaifan]

Nah, I like this theme a lot, however if there's one Dragon Ball Ending that I dislike that'd be Kai's 2nd ED that just didn't fit well with the series (a remix of We Gotta Power instead would've been cool).

[Ajay]

I can't tolerate the intro whatsoever. I don't know what it is about it - the strange 'sprinkling sound' or that odd voice, I don't know. As soon as I'm past it, I quite like the song. It's sickeningly cutesy but damn, it's fun to sing to.

[Polyphase Avatron]

When I saw the title of this thread I thought it was about the concept, not the song.

[Black_Anime_Fan]

I always skip the ending when I can. I'm surprised there are a lot of people who actually love Zenkai Power. I know it's cutesy and everything but eh, I can never get into it.

[SpacePie8]

I love it. I listen to the whole thing every time an episode ends. Although, and I'm almost 100% sure this is just me, I think it kinda sounds like something you'd hear in a asian strip joint...not that I've ever been in one. What I can't stand is the english audio end theme(on the remastered).

[Gyt Kaliba]

I don't really care for it much to be honest. I don't hate it or anything, but it's probably my least favorite song that was actually used in the series, yeah. Well...I may like it a little more than Blue Travelers or whatever that one insert song was back in DB. But eh...can't say it's my cup of tea in the long run, no.

[Duo]

I'm not particularly fond of it, but it's NOWHERE near as bad as the closing theme used for the Artificial Human arc in Kai. My ears bled.

[Daimo-Rukiri]

I didn't like it back in the day and I still don't!
It's just one of those song that you either love it or hate it.

I preferred Angel when it comes to ending themes.

[sailorspazz]

I find the song really irritating, for some reason. I mean, it's not that I dislike cutesy songs in general (I don't really like it, but I prefer the cutesy AKB48 song over Zenkai Power). I don't think I minded it at first, but the more times I listened to it, the more I felt the need to skip it.

And what were they smoking when they wrote the lyrics? Coffee flavored zombies...cheese covered scorpions...the fuck?!

Yeah, Japanese songs tend to sound really absurd when you try to translate them to English.

[linkdude20002001]

I think it's a case of it just being an absurd song. Lol. But I love it! More so than Cha-la Head-cha-la even. It's just so much fun to sing, and it holds more nostalgia for some reason.

Well....to be brutally honest....it is, hands-down, my least favorite ending song of all the Dragon Ball animes, and quite possibly my least favorite song in all the animes period, including the openings and insert songs. Yes, I know "Dragon Ball" is a silly show, but I believe the song and the animation that goes along with it are sillier than anything in the show itself, and I just don't find it enjoyable on a musical level at all.

To say that the day that they replaced it with "We Were Angels" was a happy day for me is an understatement. Although, I admit to being biased because that song is, hands-down, my favorite ending song of all the ending songs, and my no. 2 favorite song of all the songs in the Dragon Ball animes.

Just out of curiosity, what would number 1 be? Mine would either be We Gotta Power or the Dan Dan theme.

Well--for me, anyway--no. 1 would be "Chala Head Chala." I felt that song struck a great balance between being silly (in the lyrics) and being energizing/exciting (as heard through the music).

Quite frankly, I haven't heard a Hironobu Kageyama song that I don't like. Every once in a (rare) while he's done a song that's "just OK," but that's the worst he's ever done as far as I'm concerned.

[Insertclevername]

I'm surprised so many people don't like this song. It's like, the cutest thing ever

[dprez]

I enjoy it. Love the bass line.

[Daisetsu]

I've always liked it. The full version much more so. However, it's not my favorite of the endings; that belongs to "I’ll Give You Romance!" and "We Were Angels."

[Ringworm128]

I never really found ZP to be cutesy. To me it's always had a mysterious/mystical tone with it's lyrics giving it a bizarre vibe.

[Kakarot88]

I go through phases but the only reason I ever "dislike" it is because it means the episode is over.

I actually find myself humming that the most in the car when I'm sitting in traffic for some reason.
