The Digimon OP also has the advantage that pretty much all of the western dubs (that aren't the god awful english one) featured a localized rendition of Butter-Fly as their opening. So there's still some nostalgia here for most people who grew up with the spanish/italian/german/etc version.

Butterfly goes beyond being a good anime opening, it's a fucking amazing song in general, meanwhile "Aim to Be a Pokemon Master" is a good pokemon anime opening and that's it.

The English Digimon OP is not as emotional as Butterfly, Biggest Dreamer, etc.

Savers is the best of the anime series by a country mile. Adventure is boring generic poorly animated slop, tamers is edgy filth that has no place in the franchise and skullfucks the Adventure timeline, and while Xros wars is utter dogshit, psychic lover is certifiably not and are behind some of the best tokusatsu music such as basically all the best tracks from Dekaranger aka one of if not the best sentai series ever produced.

Butter-fly and biggest dreamer are low energy flops.

One of the few things I can give the Americans credit for is that they don't pretend cartoon jingles are supposed to be anything more than cartoon jingles.

The way weebs pretend watered down corporate approved anime jingles can be considered actual songs is pathetic.

Butter-fly is the better song but literally every real rock song written post Elvis mogs it.

Apparently people (outside of Japan) seem to shit on the 1st JP Pokemon opening a lot, like saying it sounds like a generic '90s anime opening or whatever, but I like it. It's pretty catchy and despite not growing up with it, I prefer it over the English theme.

I haven't really watched Digimon but am familiar with the JP theme since everyone memes about it being amazing. I'm actually not huge on it for whatever reason. Like the actual instrumentals are catchy but it feels like the lyrics are super generic and don't really match the show? Guess how I feel about both themes is the reverse of the popular opinion.

If you were capable of reading a real, physical book at some point in your life, you'd know that an extra space after your second sentence would be the proper formatting.

The JP Pokémon opening isn't great, but it's ok. The English one is pretty good. So it's not surprising.

It's completely the inverse for Digimon. The JP opening is really good while the English one is just utter dogshit. It sounds fucking shit no matter how you spin it. It's an extremt shitty rap with a fucking braindead text. The JP opening is a nice song with a beautiful voice. The difference in objective song quality is absolutely stunning. Only because who have nostalgia for for the Digirap would ever defend it.

I think part of this comes from people being surprised and dazzled by what they were "missing out on" if they only watched the Eng localised version before. I will readily admit that part of the reason I think Mezase Pokemon Master is really neat is because it represents some corner of unrealised nostalgia for an even cooler version of PokeMania that I never experienced that *could* have existed elsewhere in the world. I do think it's disappointing the Americans immediately took the reins of Pokemon's global image outside Japan. Meanwhile the local dub of Digimon that aired in my home country back in the day did have a dubbed version of Butterfly instead of the honestly trash theme song the Americans cooked up, and yeah, it's an alright song... but honestly if we're talking about Digimon Adventure's songs we REALLY should be talking about Brave Heart.

Fingoloid here, I'm happy as fuck that finland retained some form of butter-fly for the OP in general.
They first played few episodes with the japanese version, then this version, then they did a "proper" dub of the opening that lasted until the end of the series. Changed dubbing studios and shit. But the main thing is that at least we had a wide selection of butter-fly and braveheart back then, I was genuinely shocked when I learned that in US they dubbed over such great songs.

>I was genuinely shocked when I learned that in US they dubbed over such great songs.
As a burger I'm struggling to think of an anime OP that we actually got dubbed instead of outright replaced besides Sailor Moon's.

Didnt doubt your 'loid status, just typed it out since I thought someone could be interested in the dub situation in other countries.
But now that you mention it, yeah it probably was pointless.

And now you've gone and ruined it all, anon! I wanted to farm the replies of shocked foreigners all saying
>wow, this is so shit lmao
in response to Agapio Racing Team dubbing.
Anyway, as I said in a previous post in the thread (>>58886375), Butterfly is nice, but Brave Heart is really where it's at.
And the English onlys aren't ready to hear it, but their version of the Pokemon Theme in the first movie is garbage compared to what we got.

It's not bad, but it isn't good either. It's also very much a kid show opening only song, while the eng theme was hype. See the battle with Leon, the jp theme works great for nostalgia but the music itself doesn't fit the climax for a fight, while the eng theme got to hit both nostalgia points and the right music for the last move.
Meanwhile Butterfly is just that good and it isn't even the actual power-up hype theme.

Absolutely. Bizarre that we didn't get a brave heart dub over here as well, just get it as is. At least I dont recall that we did, a blessing in disguise anyway.
>their version of the Pokemon Theme in the first movie is garbage compared to what we got
You're totally right, it was sweet to hear the song in a theater.

They dubbed the first 4 One Piece openings of the funimation dub (and 4kids does have a dub version of We Are that went unused). Rurouni Kenshin, and Yu yu Hakusho had the openings dubbed also

Like, the first OP is serviceable, it's about Pokémon. But Butter-fly is just better, more iconic.
Just fuse them and get the perfect kino.

Butterfly is probably better though, but still I'm more sentimental for Mezase.

Japanese Digimon Rumble Arena is absolute fire despite being a simplistic PS1 fighting game specifically because you can play with the anime themes as BGM.

The original Pokemon opening refers to looking up a girl's skirt. They will never admit that in the west.

With that said, the jp pokemon opening is pretty good too. I loved it live on the First Take as Ash's voice actress sung it as she retired from the job
