Dragon Ball Kai Final Chapters Opening and Ending shortened

[Gian2408]

I understand I'm probably speaking to a majority sub-fan audience here, but hear me out. I've really been enjoying the Dragon Ball Kai the Final Chapters in English - possibly more than Dragon Ball Super, and that is something that pains me to say. I've enjoyed everything about it from the dialogue to even the background music which I have heard plenty of criticism for. The main thing that has been bothering me is the fact that the opening and endings have been shortened substantially, and it really takes away from two beautiful songs.

Was this a decision on the part of Toei Animation or Funimation? I've also come across the "longer versions", but the opening and ending are 1:22 and 1:02 seconds respectively. Are there full versions out there for these songs?

Thanks

They need commercials. And the 1:22 and 1:02 ones are the longest versions that exist.

There is a post elsewhere with someone mentioning having asked Juneur on Twitter if a longer version of the ending existed, with the answer being that no, one does not.

While we don't have an answer for the opening, I'll go out on a limb and assume the same thing for that - they probably just produced a TV-sized version.

I just want to say - despite all the deserved criticisms levelled at FUNi's dub, there are a ton of folks here who are nostalgic for the old dub. Not so much bad scripting & music replacements, but hearing DB in English in general. People who "make an exception" to ignoring dubs, simply because the old dub had such a wide reach (beyond even anime fans). While the silent majority here, in all likelihood, casually prefer subs, the power of marketing/nostalgia/groupthink doesn't magically elude Kanzenshuu members. This can generally be seen with the lack of understanding among the DB community on why/how there are a ton of dubs 7 all so inconsistent - it is not Kanzenshuu or really anyone's calling to discuss these things in general, outside of their influence - possibly negative influence - on the conversation at large. DB's dub is seen as more of a historical artifact & currently more of a guilty pleasure, than as, say, a work of art. But, for a dub, it is certainly popular. Not as normalized as it is in general audiences, but it's definitely taken seriously by many on here. There are a substantial amount of fans here who don't generally watch dubs, that partake in keeping up with the recent dubs. I occasionally have called it hypocritical, but then again, I love the Yugioh dub voices out of nostalgia as well, & that, too isn't a dub that I generally respect.

Um, this isn't the thread for the dub

OP mentioned that this place was a majority sub-fan forum. i was going into detail as to why i felt that it wasn't.
