WHY?!!!! Why another rap theme song?!!!
It barely worked for Beast Wars (though, most would say that it *didn't* work at all), so why would they ever try it again with this?!!!
Transformers and rap do NOT mix! In ANY form.
You're missing out. And you're gonna kinda have to with the Shout! Factory DVDs, of the Japaense G1 cartoons.Fires_Of_Inferno wrote:Ew.
Never watch Japanese versions of shows or anime anyway I suppose. Though I'm guessing someone will like it.
Amen! Transformers EVO. =Mkall wrote:Meh.
Now Jam Project's Animated Intro - that was a theme song.
Yes. Whiule the Japanese are all for Gratuitous English, the level of it in this song is ridiculous.Autobot032 wrote:Is that...English I'm hearing??

This song is the one I'm referring to:Nekoman wrote:Srsly? I loved the Beast Wars track. That first OP was the absolute best.

Surely this isn't the only one that doesn't like a JTF opening. Like, all the Japanese Beast Era openings don't sound very TFish, so how do those sound to you?CrimsonPrime wrote:The song is awesome and I love it cause of the fact that I like Japanese song better than English/American songs xD.
But I will say this though...That doesnt sound like a Transformers song at all. AT ALL. That sounded like an opening theme of an anime >.>....An actual anime rather than TF Prime translated to Japanese.
Summary : Awesome song choice for a shonen anime. The worst song choice for a Transformers theme song -.-...

Well, Beast Wars Metals (Japanese seasons 2-3) had more upbeat, rockin' good tunes for their openings, which maintained the serious nature of the show.Bumblevivisector wrote:All the comparisons to the Japanese opening for Beast Wars S1 have me wondering, could it be because of the detailed style of CG? Is that style considered distinctly American enough that it must be complimented with the most distinctly American style of music that permeates Asian markets, namely rap? That's the only conclusion I can come up with.
It was lightened and dumbed-down all the way through the show, even in Beast Machines (Beast Wars Returns).Bumblevivisector wrote:The other unfortunate parallel is that the song is so light, it seems to be actively undermining the dark, ominous tone established in "Darkness Rising", in much the same way American Beast Wars was initially lightened and dumbed-down a bit in translation.

At this point, there's probably no changing any plans Japan has for their dub of this series.GetRightRobot wrote:Whooaa, hold up there Sabrblade, the serious, not-so-fun-and-kiddy thing is great. I can deal with a lot of change in Transformers, but I like this dark thing they got going on, so don't go giving anyone any ideas!

Sabrblade wrote:But, frankly, I would not mind if TF: Prime were to be dubbed in a more cheery way. The show seriously needs to lighten up, as season 1 just wasn't all that fun, and took till episode 12 to really pull me in. Which is why I'm grateful we have Rescue Bots.
