No official reason has been given for why they didn't use Faulconer again. In all likelihood, it was simply a matter of branding. FUNimation probably wanted to present GT as a product that, while still connected to the "Dragon Ball" franchise, was still a new and unique entry in its own right that would be worth people's time and money. They also knew that the audience who they appealed to with their DBZ dub were getting older by now. So in the interest of making GT seem like a unique, new show, they went with a different composer to give the show a different "feel."GS7X7 wrote:Btw, why did they replace Faulconer with Menza anyway?
My only guess is that, like with the GT rap song, they wanted to have music that was a lot darker/harder for the "hardcore" atmosphere they were presenting with their version of GT and maybe they thought Bruce's style didn't match what they wanted.
.......Which they could have also done by simply leaving Tokunaga's score in, but, you know, whatever.
Like Kei17 mentioned though, their biggest mistake was that they tried to make GT look darker than it really was. Mostly to appeal to their aging fanbase and give them the false impression that GT would be less kiddy. Their music choices seem to be a reflection of that decision.
