I wonder what sort of animation will accompany this? Even though it's the Future Trunks arc, it'd feel really weird to have him being shown when such happy DANCE DANCE, YAY, EVERYONE SMILE! music is playing in the background. Feels like this ending might just star the Pilaf gang. Orrrr, Vegeta adding Yoka Yoka Dance to his repertoire along with the Bingo dance :lol:
If Yamamuro is in charge again I suspect the animation will be terrible. His animation and direction lack emotion, so I really can't see him being able to play to the strengths of the song.

...Toei didn't happen to animate those soda commercials we got around the time of Resurrection 'F', did they?

Cuz I find myself being perfectly okay with it, if the ending is animated/choreographed anything like either of these.

I'd be perfectly fine if everything in the show was done like that.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Morita Takeshi did those commercials. He is either a Toei animator or a freelancer with heavy ties to Toei Animation.

Ooh, so that means there is at least the most remote chance of us getting something similar-ish.

I repeat, clashing with the episodes or not, if it's as enjoyable to watch as those things are, I think I'd be okay with that. :lol:

The song isn't bad, very ska like. It's has some nice moments, the chorus does get boring fast. The tone couldn't be the more opposite of the current arc... It certainly makes me want to dance, they were successful in that regard.

It depends how they'll cut it for the ending, assuming they'll do it. It certainly isn't awful.

I can already see the dragons in the background and a fight scene between Vegeta and Goku. Still.. Would have been better to have went with rock or something.

I can already imagine Kid Trunks, Goten, Pilaf, Shu and Mai dance like an idol group in the new ending! :lol:
I think the song will serve to offset the abrupt change of tone that had the series. If we think Super mainly target children, I'm not surprised.
Dragon Ball, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and DuckTales: no matter how old I get, these three things will always be my greatest passions.

He stole all of the food rations that Beerus had stored from his last visit from Earth and stuffed them in his pockets! He could be Goku after all! Just wait till Lord Beerus find's out :lol:
In all seriousness, he's probably a creation of the Kaioushin or Black is a fusion that includes him.

Absolutely...I mean, I'm often wrong with predictions, but in this case I loved Battle of Gods so at least for myself I was vindicated!

It doesn't really matter though, it's just an ending song.
Bit of a sweeping generalisation XD

Yeah. We've known they're puffy since his debut in the anime's OP animation, though they don't always appear that way in every cut of the episodes themselves.

I don't mind it. Then again, I didn't mind the overly-cheery 2nd ending to Crystal S3, or Vow of Z. Obviously it's going to be a tonal shift, but these endings don't seem to be picked with any sort of consistency in mind. I guess it'll really depend on the visuals.
I could have gotten into anything...and yet I chose the story aimed at young Japanese boys about martial arts, and later about super-powerful aliens punching each other really hard.

Someone from Toei said that's the main target.

Agh! Why can't Goku wear his new outfit like this! looks good going up against Black... I hope Black makes a run for it and returns later to give Goku time to put it on...

Oh, I see! Good to know, thanks :thumbup:

The song is fine, curious how they'll edit for the ending. It reminds me of 90's endings where they'll have chibified version of the characters running around the screen playing and chasing one another, etc.

Oh, that's right, I didn't notice it.

Has the current ending song lasted the usual 12~14 episodes or longer?

It would've been so much better if it was something like this.
