The shippuden ones have been great.

They had rubbish timing with this one though considering how many characters will be introduced/reintroduced soon.

Him and the other new character being introduced then wasted pretty much right away is the real sign that Shippuden is going to blow all its potential.
 
Pretty much. But, we had the choice of getting a custom intro or having Williams Street cut the OP for us. I really don't want an OP going at Sonic speed with the song fading out.

Which reminds me, I should send Demarco some of my friend's Shippuden edits. ( He likes to shorten anime songs just like I do. )

Aniplex might suck at a lot of things but they are god tier anime song shorteners.

Their cut of the first SAO opening is BETTER than the original.
 
Ya got a point.

That's another problem that I'd have with a show like Fairy Tail and Toonami. The first few openings come in too early and spoil the next arc before it even starts. If FUNimation were to mess with those, they would have to remove those "spoilers"

Which, is kinda hard.

They actually did a great job on OP openings 5 and 6 if your only concern was avoiding spoilers.

Luffy having a power up is probably not going to surprise anyone even a little familiar with this genre, but it boggles my mind that they chose to end on that instead of the close-ups of all the crew members. it doesn't even look very good.

But that would spoil
something even more iconic.

Luffy flat out told us this episode he has a new power up.

It's not insulting or anything. It's above passable. But it's never really made me say wow.

Also SATAN's got you conned, Bleach Bro. He never loved that girl nor desired those feels, he just wanted a body to take over this plane of existence. The long con with the long dong. A swerve bro, a master plan that you fell for.

Damn man, I feel like a fool

This is a Russo level #swerve, friend

This reminds me to watch the full Gurren Lagann opening since it wont air.

Whats cool about the GL opening is how it changes and evolves as the series goes on. There are three versions of the same OP. Hopefully you only saw the first one as the others are kinda spoilery.

That is true, but I prefer they don't do this to every opening they can edit.

It's one my guilty pleasure openings

Aniplex usually grabs the best part, so I imagine it'll be most of the beginning with the middle cut out.

I checked into this. What they've been doing so mostly is just keeping the last 30 seconds of their OPs and EDs. It's not really an edit. They just chop off the first 1:00 and keep the last part. I (unfortunately) expect them to do the same with GL. It's better than than these bizarre Funi edits, though.

I even created my own fan edit to show what it would be like. I haven't posted it anywhere, tho. :/

What I would prefer is if they just ditched the EDs and kept only the OPs. Gurren Lagann's two ED songs and sequences are pretty bland and forgettable but that OP song and animation is awesome and even gets play in some episodes. It also keeps changing, like I said.

Pff, toss me your edit man, a lot of people like to do it and it usually makes it on one ToonamiOPED channel or the other. :p

Technically, they can do this and just put all of the cast information into the OP. But, it's kind of tedious.

One Piece is gonna be like that soon, so we'll get to see it happen there. :D

One Piece Opening 8 is going to be very interesting.

and yes, before we start a holy war about it, the next intro (which isn't that far off) is a separately numbered opening and not just the first one redone. Not the same opening, not the same content.

it's a shame both opening 7 and 8 suck ;-;

I love 7 because it's so great they used it...three different times as the opening.

8 is okish, but I never EVER skipped it because...reasons. The edit, which should be late this year, will be celebrated or lambasted depending on if they keep a certain scene or not.

9 has a great ending. 10 is also really good. 11 is actually the first one since 4 I don't really like at all. 12 is great. 13 is awful. 14 is the second best behind 5.

Now I know how Robert Langon feels trying to decipher these coded posts

I mean, I can use their names, not like it would look any less coded.

Jungle P has a slow start but ends amazingly, We Are! (Remix) is totally great, Share the World! is the worst theme since BON VOYAGE! Kaze Wo Sagashite is great, One Day is awful, Fight Together is the best one since Kokoro No Chizu, which is the best theme in One Piece.
