For what is supposed to be the theme of "destroyed planet Namek" it feels more upbeat/battle energetic than it should, it lacks the sense of dread and running out of time that was present at that moment in the story.

I still haven’t lived down going, “Who the heck is Tao Pai-pai?” that one time I was talking with Ei’ichiro Oda-kun. But the fact that there are still people reading the series after all this time… All I can say is; “thank you.” Really, that’s all.

And that you also have IMMENSELY skewed and comically backwards priorities in what you think is most important and needed to make a good Dragon Ball story.

While it sounds good, the added special sound effects take away the "mystic" aspect of the original Tapion theme that consisted solely of an ocarina song.
Next: Bit by Bit I'm falling Under Your Spell, english cover.
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.
That guy has excelent covers FULL of freaking energy, that cover is no different, I always liked the animetal versions of the dragon ball songs but I think this one sincerely tops them completely. Especially since We gotta power is already such a hugely energetic song.
Next up: Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku Metal Version by the same guy.
Much like you said, full of energy (genki perhaps?). A very good power metal cover of GT's opening theme. His vocals aren't perfect in that cover in my opinion, but they're still very good and they work for the style of music being used.
What a crazy track!. The percussion is damn savage at the beginning, even a bit tribal and then it evolves into this amazing 90's rock mess I love it! I did not know of this track, then again I never played this game, it kinda sounds like megaman X! I love it so much because I'm a total Megaman X Nut.
I got a new workout music!
Next up: Chouzetzu Dynamic Ballad (sad piano version on ep 51) done on piano by a fan.

Love it. Not even kiddin', it gives off a dreamy and beautiful vibe. The soft tone is very playful. It reminds me of two characters. Bulma and (strangely) Amy from Sonic. Next Song - Kiseki no Big Fight
BIG FIGHT! One of my favorite movie ending songs. As is characteristic of many Kageyama songs, it's genki/full of energy, gets you pumped up, and puts you in a good mood.

Quirky intro leading into the spacy and catchy main part of the song. Both Tricky Shirai and KŪKO do an excellent job singing along with the 1970s disco instrumental track. It's a fun track overall. I also like how the end of the song transitions into the next song on that album, Cosmic Chinese Melody.
I've been listening to the Hit Song Collection albums quite a bit lately, so let's do another song from those albums...
Man, the Hit Song Collection albums have a lot of great music, and this song is no exception. It has such a great "funky" feeling to it, I absolutely love it.

I imagine the comic will speed up once the animated series ends its adaption of Toriyama's notes and can move on to another Toriyama-outlined arc.
That doesn't make sense since the Toriyama finished writing the Future Trunks Saga back in February. Why would they need to drag when Toriyama had months to write a follow up and the anime was still in the Champa Saga during that time.
And it weird to hear about padding in the anime when Chapter 16 had the padding of Future Majin Buu that could have been skipped.
This is the same guy who would do an entire week's worth of work in a single night just to be able to procrastinate for a week and do nothing but watch movies or build models. Logic does not apply to Toriyama Akira. He has evolved past it.

Jobbing, FOR THE SAKE OF JUSTICE! I'd accept a heartfelt moment of the two exchanging stories about being Super Heroes.
I'm sure you didn't mean to post a link to a version of the song with crude lyrics in it, so I found a different link with only the instrumentals in it:
It's a pretty relaxing song. Perhaps a bit bland in it's composition, but otherwise, it's a nice song that's fitting for walking around West City (I've actually never played the game, but I assume that's what you do at that part).
It's all right, but the opening is the best part by unfortunately pretty far. The beeping that comes in later is a bit repetitive (and annoying), but I personally like the track.
It reminds me of something you'd hear from Immediate Music or some other epic trailer music. The vocals are good as is the instrumental track. The synthesizer(?) bit at the 56 second mark is an interesting touch as well. Overall, a pretty decent track.
Energetic track that I could see fitting a few different locations. The tune that keeps going in the background is a nice touch. 1:21 is almost the definition of Budokai music.
One of my favorite songs from Budokai Tenkaichi 2. The keyboard melodies are nice and airy, the drums are catchy, and the "voice" gives the song a good oriental feel. It's a unique sounding song in a good way.
