Survey: Favorite Opening

Post by MarCas92 » Thu Jan 08, 2015 5:16 am

Hey guys. I just wanted to take a quick survey and see which opening you guys enjoy the most. Encourage people to vote and I'll post results the 13th of Feb. Hopefully we can get a lot of responses. I'll update around once a week if this catches on.

1.Mystical Adventure
2. Cha La Head Cha La
3. We Gotta Power
4. Dan Dan
5. Dragon Soul
6. Ku Zen Zetsu Go

I'll go ahead and start it off. Mystical Adventure. The original always gets me hyped.

Oh god, I love 1-4 equally as much.

But I know how annoying indecisive answers are during a survey so I guess I'll go with WE GOTTA POWER.

It's just that fraction more fun to sing along to than CHA-LA HEAD CHA-LA.

The English dub's version of Makafushigi Adventure, followed by Head Cha-La, Dan-Dan, We Gotta Power, Kū-zen-zetsu-go, Dragon Soul, and the original Japanese Makafushigi Adventure. In that order.

EDIT: Oh, and throw 'Fight it Out' in there tied with Dragon Soul.

I agree with AjayLikesGaming, I love 'em all! All things considered, the Dragon Ball animes have all been consistently good when it comes to opening songs. I think they've occasionally been shaky and inconsistent with the ending songs, but the opening songs? They're all good! If I had to choose one, though--and thank goodness I don't--it'd probably be "CHA-LA HEAD CHA-LA." Kageyama is consistently awesome.
A "rather haggard" translation of a line from Future Gohan in DBZ, provided to FUNimation by Toei:
"To think of fighting that is this fun...so, it was pleasant fight, as many as, therefore is a feeling which is good the fight where."

Mystical Adventure, with ease, for me! Don't get me wrong, I like Kageyama...but honestly, I almost feel that after a while, he starts to get...overused. I get that they were likely going for a 'the voice of DBZ' musically, but it would have been nice to see more people involved. That and if they could stop milking the Head Cha La train anytime soon, that'd be great. :P

Seriously though - Mystical Adventure is right up there as one of my favorite Dragon Ball songs period, and I really wish we'd have gotten more from Takahashi than we did.

Out of the ones listed, my favorite is definitely 'We Gotta Power.' I really wish it wasn't getting snubbed in favor of Cha-La for all these new post-Boo stories.

Dan Dan by far.

Something about it just makes me feel incredibly happy and nostalgic. Not to mention ZARD'S cover is beautiful.

What? No Step into the Grand Tour.

Anyway, Dragon Soul for me. Even though I love them all equally.

We Gotta Power. Makes no sense, but sounds so good. lol.

My order:

1. Dragon Ball (English Version).. such a fun, old school theme.
2. Head Cha-La
3. Dragon Soul (English Version). Can't recall which 'volume' version I prefer, I think it's one of the group versions.
3. We Gotta Power
4. Dan Dan

My favorite opening is the Dragonball GT rapping intro! Step into the Grand Tour (GRAND TOUR, GRAND TOUR!!!)
(DRAGONBALL GT!!!) Step into the grand tour A brand new adventure begins, Another challenge for Goku and his friends.
Now, he's a Saiyan, strong...alright alright you caught me! :P I had to pull a funny on you guys! :lol:

My favorite intro is the Japanese version of Mystical adventure. I have nothing against the English intro. Heck, I watch the series in English. I just think the Japanese version sounds so much better. Now I'm not even Joking here but I actually like the Japanese and the English singing Intro in Dragonball GT that's Bit by bit(I believe it's called?) That's one thing I can give GT credit for. In my opinion The intro's and ending themes are great in my opinion. I also love GT's ending with dan dan kokoro hikareteku.
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

We Gotta Power, all the other openings got old and tiring too quick for me.
