[KaizokuJinbei]

I have all obtainable english dubbed OP songs (including 4Kids OP rap). so if anyone wants any of them I can send them via email or something.

[black-leg jex]

are they like full or just 1:30ish?

[Maron]

There are no full versions of any of the dub songs.

[playercena5241]

they should release them on cd. i would them.

[black-leg jex]

i thought so. Just wasn't sure

[Maron]

they should release them on cd. i would them.

Licensing issues prevent that. Even if it wasn't a physical release.

[Snake-Eyes2011]

well i hope they release a previeuw of the new opening soon for season 4

[Maron]

What would be the point? We're so close to the release anyway and it's not like the song's really long enough to justify a preview.

[Snake-Eyes2011]

they release trailers for anime's so ,why not opening songs

[Maron]

Anime series on average are at least 26 episodes long, more than long enough to justify a preview...Unlike anime openings.

Hikare E/Toward the Light is currently the best English dub of an anime opening I have heard. It's really sung well, and the lyrics are solid. Believe sucks and was underwhelming - the "Believe in Wonderland" was completely underwhelming compared to original, it just dies off and isn't as powerful as it should be. Bon Voyage is a complete mess, though it comes from bias I have against the opening since it my least favorite.

I'm really hyped on how Kokoro no Chizu turns out - it's my second favorite opening, and I'm really hoping it's sung well and the lyrics transition into English well.

I think Funi Stopped Trying with the Openings once it became clear that the TV Deal was over. :(

[Maron]

What're you talking about? All of the openings have been dubbed for TV except We Are and Believe. We Are was great and Believe wasn't that great in Japanese either.

I don't mean to say your opinion's wrong but We Are's dub is pretty loved.

You guys are crazy, I though Bon Voyage was great. As for the endings I though that "That's A Fact" was a lot better than its Japanese counterpart. Stephanie Young has more feeling than the original singer in my opinion. "Glory" and "Shining Ray" were definitely on par as well.

Vic's "We Are" is good too but I really like his cover of "Toward the Light" and "A to Z" more.

The only songs I thought were rather sub par was opening 2 and endings 3,6. The rest are pretty good.

You know, I wish Funimation could get back the VA's who did the covers for the Dragon Ball, Case Closed and Yu Yu Hakusho openings and endings. All of those were fantastic! Unfortunately half of those VA's don't work for Funi anymore.

[Maron]

Who's talking about Bon Voyage?

[Yonkou255]

I don't mean to say your opinion's wrong but We Are's dub is pretty loved.

I meant to say, Funimation doesnt put as much effort as they used to when the TV deal was still going. That's why the songs after We Are and Towards the Light are so....meh.

But I could be wrong. :D

[Maron]

We Are was never on TV and Bon Voyage was on TV so I don't see your point.
