New "Rock the Dragon"?

Post by Super Sonic » Sun Jan 27, 2008 7:25 pm

Recently, I've heard some of my friends say they consider Naruto's Rise to be the new Rock the Dragon. Do any of you guys agree or see any similarities?

Well, the comparisons are pretty obvious, I'd say.

(01) Big shonen of its time
(02) Brought over with the intent to make it huge
(03) Theme song replaced to solidify that intent
(04) Typical "rock"-ish sound mirroring standards of the day
(05) Song puts less emphasis on lyrics and more on the overall sound
(06) What little lyrics there are happen to be mostly non-sensical
(07) Theme song ultimately replaced with another song later on
