Some ppl got confused so just to make sure, the pirate rap wasn’t actually created by Kendrick and Earl and MF DOOM haha that was just a joke the artist behind it is Shawn Conrad!
y
I'm so unhappy with you for not covering Rave Master's opening. That whole thing was absolutely phenomenal and as ridiculous as it was, they definitely put a ton of effort into it. That opening lives in my head rent free every day.
Dude I just started rewatching Yu Yu Hakusho because of dubbed Smile Bomb, this timing is uncanny
The funny thing about the YYH opening is that I like the endings even better, dubbed ending 1 of YYH is still my favorite anime ending ever, doing homework at my grandma's house while YYH comes on at like 5pm on Toonami and outside goes from daytime to night time during the course of an episode and then that soothing ass ending comes on, that's just a vibe that I will never experience again man
@@DaDualityofMan YuYu is just Dub perfection all around 👌🏽
Same!
Holeyyyy I’m gone for 3 days and this happens?
The song is such a nostalgic trip for me
The Yu Yu Hakusho opening will be what plays in my head when I fade from this earth.
My heart is still broken in pieces that 4kids never released those kick ass guitar soundtracks for Yugioh GX!! 🤯😭🤯
We need those riffs
I also wish I could find the original version of Hyperdrive on Spotify instead I gotta go through TH-cam. At least I can queue up another Internet Pitstop vid while I’m here
The original Yu-gi-oh dub opening is still my favorite anime opening of all time. It absolutely slaps and I have so many good memories of Saturday mornings spent listening to it
It's time to DDDDDDDDUEL!!!
Right there with you bro!
Yo same, it's so legendary and nostalgic 🥹
@@InternetPitstop Same 😁
Yup
Bro I CANNOT begin to explain the chills I got due to waves of nostalgia from the YuGiOh 5D's theme. I'm 100% with you, something about it does get the eyes all teary
Dude after all these years I still love Hyperdrive, and I've had it in my yt music Playlist for years now. I still remember waking up Saturday mornings just to hear that opening then go watch something else until one day I got into 5Ds lol
going fast makes me feel alive, my heart truly does beat in hyperdrive
I’m telling you Anime will never be the same again OGs are always better still.
facts all of yu-gi-oh have banger songs
This might just be a Canadian thing, but the English Beyblade openings are the hardest songs ever conceived. Beyblade Metal Fusion's OP remains stuck in my head to this day
Really like your videos Lex. I’d love a vid featuring both you and IPS
I remember Beyblade! I only ever watched the first series, but the opening was awesome.
Beyblade aired in the states too
I'm actually really surprised he didn't mention Beyblade, it was big in America too, that's the first thing I think of after DBZ, Pokemon, Yugi Oh, Digimon, and as much as I loved the Bakugan intro I didn't like the show because I saw it as a Beyblade ripoff, idk if that's actually true but that's what it looked like to kid me.
We still have Beyblade in the US at least toy wise. Ironically I was listening to the Beyblade V-Force's full JP opening (Off the Chains) a few days ago as it's a rap song by artists I knew, Verbal of M-Flo and Giorgio of Delighted Mint. Always wondered why it wasn't rewritten in English as the artists speak it plus rap in anime was peak 00s in the US. It's a bop.
Funny that a few years later Teriyaki Boyz (they did that Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift song) which features Verbal collabed with Kanye (I know, I know hush) popularizing Bape outside Japan so it kinda seems like a big missed opportunity, I don't know for what but something lol. Small world.
Bro I’m so glad you gave yugioh 5D the credit it deserves, definitely one of my favorite intros to the series. Intro made me feel like I floating over the clouds and constant dopamine pumping to my brain.
Agreed
I only started watching 5D's last year but the intro still gets me hyped up!
I still got Yugioh, Yugioh GX & 5Ds & Yu Yu Hakusho on Blu-ray to this day.
5D’s had a phenomenal opening
Seriously I remember watching the show as a kid but never payed attention to the opening but when I rewatched it it blew my mind how good it actually sounds.
I'm from Germany and I can transfer everything you said to the German Anime. At least in terms of vibes. Here in Germany, in most cases, the Japanese and English songs have simply been translated. But these have always been sung with so much love that one could not help but love them. Listen to all the anime songs nowadays at work in the gas station and always get praise from all the nostalgic customers that I recall their childhood in the store. That's the heart of these songs and it's just nice to lose yourself in these vibes every now and then.🎶🎵💜
Nice to see another German. I'm American-German (Ja Ich spreche Deutsch). My friends in Leipzig always sing Digimon intros 😂
its because back in the day they could experiment more and people complain less (due anime being niche and no internet). If you now mispronounce a name in anime dub today people freak out in germany.

I can hardly blame them...

It's crazy, I actually forgot dub openings existed until recently because I'm so used to always having Japanese ones now. I stand by Hoenn and Sinnoh having the best Pokemon OP dubs, and Dragon Ball Kai has the energy of an early 2000's Sonic OST and it's glorious.
I personally prefer the Kalos op though im talking about the jp ones so it probably doesn't fit here
I still view Stand Up as the theme of Gen 4.
It's kinda ironic I never heard the Japanese openings of some older anime like Pokemon and Yugi Oh, and I kinda don't want to, the English is just the opening for me.
@@dragonmaster3030 I love the the english op for pokemon kalos
Unbeatable arguably is the best opening especially utilizing the overhead Pokemon shots of the "Pokemon Symphonic Orchestra" OP from Japan.
bro please don’t stop making videos, you’re hitting a huge nostalgia itch that most people can’t. I know it’s discouraging not seeing the growth that you want but I promise you if you keep going, I don’t know how soon, but soon, this channel with explode. the editing is great, the topics are great, and the overall personality of not just you, but your channel has is that over a channel with AT LEAST 1 mil subs. Be patient you got this bro, you got my support and a lot of others too. just keep making videos you like and the success with come naturally. I’m excited to see what you release next
All of this is incredibly true. IP has all the makings to be a huge content creator. Personality, editing , humor , depth of the content , great topics. It's really all there
Growing up in latin america we only had two options: straight up Japanese intro (eg. Rurouni Kenshin) and in series music (it still baffles me to this day that they replaced Braveheart for the rap in the US as the digievolution song); or a faithful translation of the song in Spanish (all of DB, Inuyasha, Ranma 1/2, and much more).
It was only the 4Kids properties that had original songs (YuGiOh, Medabots, et al). Once broadband came, piracy really took off so people just got anime there, less and less networks chose to buy anime besides big staples like Naruto. Spanish intros became a lost art.
Really give them a listen if you know Spanish. The Digimon Adventure Intro, Sakura Cardcaptor, and the Shaman King intros are great places to start.
The English and Japanese openings for yugioh gx season 1 are such a rare case of both songs getting it so right. The energy, the fun, the fuzzy feeling in the your butt. Perfect.
Yeah I kinda fell off GX when it started getting darker, I just loved the fun dueling school shenanigans, the only school I ever wanted to go to
Yea I loved the gx english dub song it matched jaden's energy n mentality throughout the series which was having fun,enjoying yourself etc
Dude, I swear I have listened to some of the older Pokémon OPs a TON when I was alone during the summer. Just being able to put the Mewtwo Strikes Back version of the first opening and the XY version of said opening, as well as "Unbeatable" felt so good.
Unbeatable goes hard
Anime dub openings are an amazing relic of a long gone time (Although we still get them occasionally). It truly had no downsides for me cause I was too embarresed to watch anime on tv anyway so they never even became over played for me.
The English OP for Tico and Friends is so childish its perfect its just ocean an love
Just last year Fairy Tail, World Trigger and the new Dragon Quest anime got dubbed into Neutral Spanish and they dubbed the opening and endings. That's kind of weird nowadays
The one piece rap will forever be etched in my mind. What’s crazy is the “chopper’s doctoring” could also be a double entendre for the old lady chopper calls doctorine. Mind blowing lyricism.
Hearing the yugioh 5ds theme just unlocked a forgotten memory for me its so crazy how i could forget such a godlike banger
For me hearing dubbed anime openings is like revisiting a familiar/favourite food. It's a wave of nostalgia powerful enough to momentarily transport me back to a time where all that I wanted in my life was to be the protagonist of my favourite show. Whenever Bakugan would come on I'd slip a card on my shoulder and place my Drago on my shoulder pretending to be transported to this world and act out the events of the show. Damn nostalgia is such a beautiful thing.
(Q ratatouille Anton flashback scene)
Smile Bomb is one of those songs I break out into when I get inebriated and only the real ones know how to respond.
All the Yugioh openings are so nostalgic for me. Once a year if I'm going through some shit I have to chuck some episodes on to feel like a kid again. Lots of happy memories in these openings, thanks for taking me back
I got really into playing Master Duel (the first time I actually really played Yugi Oh, believe it or not) so I watched the openings again recently and a few episodes again, also it's still amazing how hard the OG Yugi Oh intro went, and I completely forgot how hard the 5Ds intro went until then.
the big 3 in Yugioh was great all around, after 5ds they didn’t know how to make a good show or theme song anymore.
@@KingJadInfiniteHope I haven't really checked out any of the newer shows
@@DaDualityofMan Master duel is dope I can lose hours on that game
@@ItzDaiz Yeah when I'm not getting steamrolled by meta lol
The Spanish version of the Dragonball opening was what got me into Dragonball. Visiting Mexico at the age of 5 nothing to do, watching really bad tv and then…
“VAMOS A BUSCAR, LOS ESFERAS DEL DRAGON”
It really cannot hit harder than that
"Es el secreto más estremecedor
Vamos a atrapar las esferas del dragón
Un milagro increíble se esconde ahí
La fantástica aventura va a empezar
Este mundo es una gran isla del tesoro"
Man I used to own a cassette with the Latin American DB opening and ending songs in the late 90s, they used to make great official covers for shows like DB, Cardcaptor Sakura, Inuyasha, Shaman King, Orphen, You're Under Arrest!, though the practice stopped around the mid 2000s, some anime like Fairy Tail, World Trigger and Dragon Quest got their op and ed songs dubbed into Spanish when they arrived here recently
The LatAm dubs are actually kinda special in that they mostly sticked close to the originals when it came to music and just about everything.
Which is why hearing the Digirap instead of the translated version of Butterfly and Hey Digimon instead of Brave Heart fills me with so much annoyance and anger, those were perfect damnit!
@@Luchux177 the LatAm dubs made by Intertrack were excellent, shows like DB, Sailor Moon, Slam Dunk, Digimon Adventure and Sakura Cardcaptor were translated pretty faithfully from the original Japanese and the dub voices were perfectly casted
There were some dubs which were made with the U.S. version as a base like Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Kirby, but since they were dubbed by actors who worked in plenty of anime they still did a great job. And in Pokémon's case, since the 4Kids version was already a gag dub, they adapted some of the jokes in order to appeal more to the LatAm public, the Team Rocket voice actors ad-libbed tons of great jokes
That one metal DBZ op with the sick guitar influenced me immensely
Prelude to conflict?
Rock the dragon
@@The4thGear Thats the one
@@The4thGear rock the dragon, rock the dragon, dragon ball zeee
From what I remember, Spanish dubs mostly took the Yu Yu Hakusho approach to doing the songs in spanish while trying to sound like the original singer.
I also always liked that the Tenchi series dubbed their intros in English. "I'm a Pioneer" in particular was such a feel good song.
AHHH.. I nearly forgot about that one!! Good song choice
All of the Dragon Ball dubbed openings and Yu Yu Hakusho's dubbed OP will forever hold a special place in my heart. So many good memories of coming back from school and watching some Toonami.
I can't believe Pokemon just smacked us with so many banger anime intros. Not to mention the movie intros. Pokemon 2000 is unforgettable
Yu yu Hakasho OP is a god send, it brings back so much nostalgia, it’s crazy

MAN this video was a Time Capsule I enjoyed watchin on this Saturday morning. So many Icons
Gigantor, Pokemon, DBZ, Digimon, Yu Yu Hakusho Yugioh etc ahhhh it takes me back.
Honestly while I love the japanese openings of all the series listed Agreed immensely on these still having charm. 1 time I was a party and the english dub openings for classics started playing & Everyone in the room got hype. They really did affect a generation & I'll happily bump them anytime of day. Outstanding Video man!
Thank you man I really appreciate that, also super cool to see you here!
Also a party with those dub songs sounds like an insane night lol
there is nothing like chilling in the morning with a cup of tea and half an hour of anime history on a pitstop, this is going to be a great day
Cardcaptor’s English opening has a special place in my heart! The narrating/singing gives me chills to this day 😅
I didn't even like Cardcaptors as a kid but I watched the intro every episode before changing the channel.
The nostalgia...... is overpowering! I still listen to some of these openings. GX in particular. There's a TH-camr who wrote an extended version adding a whole verse. It's beautiful.
Edit: Sailor Moon and Dragonball Z were my first exposure to English openings. I was in Germany for Dragonball. Good times.
Got a link to that version with the added verse?

German here 👋 I feel everything you said. Dubbed OPs hold a special place in my heart and I still hear them frequently. They are just this good.
In Germany the majority of anime openings were done by one company called "Toyco" and they did an outstanding job. We mostly got German versions of the Japanese openings and they were amazing (Digimon, Detective Conan, Dragon Ball & One Piece all being fantastic examples). Sometimes they made original openings and they're absolute bangers as well (One Piece OP 1, Inuyasha OP 1&2, Dragon Ball OP 1 etc.). A good bunch of the 4Kids ones also received German versions over here (like Pokémon or Yu-Gi-Oh) and they are absolutely iconic. I listened to them countless times both in German and in English.
Wanna give a shoutout to the German version of "Pokémon World" (called "Pokémon Welt") from Movie 2, it's only loosly based on the English version and it straight up sounds like Persona 3 or 4 song. It's amazing!
I'm sorry but the first thing I think of when talking German openings is the Naruto one 😂
@@DaDualityofMan We don't count that since it was made for Australia, we only used it too 😅 I mean why else would they sing in English and not German.
@@Kilumy I did wonder why they speak in English and Japanese but not German in that lol, idk it was made in Australia, that makes it even funnier that it’s labeled the German opening lol
I cannot appreciate how much listening to these nostalgia openings make me feel. Boots out the depression.
Thank you for the feels man, thank you.
P.s: Does anyone know where the song playing at the end of the video is from? The one with the flute playing over as he ends the video.
kakariko is saved from zelda twilight princess
Mew Mew Power's opening was how I found Tokyo Mew Mew.
And if it wasn't for the Glitter Force ops, I wouldn't have also discovered Precure.
But I'm sure there are plenty of ops/eds originally in English, like AoT, Vinland Saga and Banana Fish.
🎶YEAH IT'S HARD TO SAVE THE WORLD WHEN YOU'RE FALLING IN LOVE, LA LA LA LA 🎶
Dude, I didn’t realize how nostalgic I was for 5ds. What a frickin amazing show! As silly as it sounds, it’s one of the most unique concepts for a show just in general.
I can not explain how happy I was when you showcased the Yu-gI-oh 5d'S, GX, Bakugan battle brawlers and the Pokémon openings almost screamed down my house and made this video a W for me. I can honestly say that you've inspired me to make my own videos with a similar presence in the future. Anyway Happy new year and what a great video to start off the year :)
The yu gi oh 5ds was my intro to yu gi oh and i still listen to it today.
Mannnnn the wave of nostalgia that hyperdrive op washed all over me 😩👌
I don’t even remember subbing to you but I saw my favorite anime Yu Yu Hakusho on the thumbnail and figured I made the right choice
Thank you for using my music in your video bro, I realy appreciate it. I hope you continue growing on TH-cam!
Hey man! thank you for sending it!
the Pokémon theme was my first, and hearing you rave about "We will be heroes" was absolutely incredible. I still remember a good buddy and I blasting it loudly in the car on our way to the Sword and Shield midnight launch :)
Though my favourites are either a mix of 'Unbeatable', 'We will be heroes' and 'Battle Cry: Stand up!'. I'm a Pokémon stan at heart.
everytime i see YYH in the thumbnail i know its a banger video
My only problem with every time you upload something, is that I always need to wait to watch, because I want to be at absolute peace of mind in order to enjoy your vids at the fullest 😌
Dude thank you so much for that 5Ds section, I saw it coming because the comments but you still did it so much justice and nailed the description of the feelings, and also at pointing out those best parts
You just unlocked a core memory of my Saturday mornings with that Yu-Gi-Oh 5DS op ✋😩
I was a big fan of the original English CardCaptors opening. That opening bumped hard!
I know right!!?
Didn't Australia get full dubbed op/Ed for cardcaptors? And Europe got some funky ones
Speaking of older dubbed anime OPs, I grew up watching "Star Blazers" (Space Battleship Yamato) on VHS, and the dub's opening is still fantastic - compared to other anime being brought over at the time, they really put a lot of heart into Yamato~
I used to watch that as a kid and always loved the intro! So glad you mentioned it
Not only is your humor right up my alley, but the way that you edit your videos and honestly just the way you talk really catch my attention in a way that lets me actually watch your videos for their content and not just background noise.
It's just a bonus that your opinions basically reflect mine, and it's nice to hear you expand on them!
Thanks for the dank videos, dude!
I started off a true magical girl obsessed weeb. Tokyo Mew Mew, Ojamajo Doremi and Sailor Moon are classics and these days I blast the Japanese ops. But the English ops hold a very special place in my heart. ESPECIALLY when they’d add little music videos at the end of TMM and Ojamajo Doremi.
Telling my friends to face off and spin the metal, as we face off for an epic battle will never be old. A lot of my friends and I just don't even know the actual OPs very well for a lot of the shows we grew up on just because the English Openings were just that iconic and engrained in us. It's wild to think, due to how wide spread it is and how technology is, that there is a generation of new kids, who might get into anime in the streaming age (with a wider access to subbed shows of all kinds and not just ones airing at our local kids TV channels), and not get to experience the very dubious, yet also kind of awesome sweep of frequent dubbed openings.
Yeah I never actually heard of the Japanese openings for stuff like Pokemon and Yugi Oh, the kids today are lucky though, they don't have to worry about ever missing an episode, like me missing the newest episode of Naruto on Toonami because my mom dragged me to a family party that night lol, still I'm glad to grow up in the era that I did.
I can't find a source, but I believe the first Japanese opening to Astro Boy only had instrumental music, and it was the English dub that added lyrics, which inspired the Japanese to do the same.
this is true! in the astro boy essays by Frederik L. Schodt (someone who did a lot of the translations for Osamu Tezuka's work and knew him personally), he writes on page 81 "Ladd made one other change in the first English pilot film that eventually affected the Japanese version, too. He kept composer Tatsuo Takai's wonderful opening instrumental melody, but had NBC hire an American, Don Rockwell, to create lyrics, which were recorded by a group of energetic young school children singing 'crowds will cheer you, you're a hero, as you go, go, go astro boy!' This was deemed extremely successful, so much so that Tezuka later did the same thing for the Japanese series"
i love the part of the mid bump, reminds me of stuff like adult swim where they casually transition to a commercial break with a chill atmosphere and with music that gives a sweet, calm, tranquil vibe that you get during adult swim!
IP does not treat his "videos" like videos, he treats them like tv episodes! (born 2007) i grew up on live tv, so this really hit close to home! thank you very much IP!
You really know how to verbalize that particular type of nostalgia.
These are all great but man, I still listen to the German Digimon opening to get pumped for the gym.
Man this video took me to the good old days! Thank you for always making us happy! Keep up the good work champ! I truly hope that TH-cam will become your full time job!
When I started watching Dragon Ball (dubbed) during quarantine for the first time the OP immediately blew me away. It was so damn catchy. It really set the tone of what I was going to watch; a mystical journey for dragon balls(with friends along the wayyyy). I think what also helped was that it was dubbed. Whenever you listen to an anime OP you're mainly just vibin to the song since you can't understand anything, but knowing what's being sung gives meaning to the song. We sort of miss out of the extra meaning and context that the OP gives us when we don't understand. Example being how SpyxFamily's first OP creates an analogy of the "misfit family" to a bag of "mixed nuts."
Honestly, it's absolutely interesting to see what imapct the anime intros have in the other languages. Since I grew up in Germany, I also grew up with the German intros. I think it's quite cool that some of the German ones have a strong resemblence to the Japanese originals. I also find that some German intros are better than the Japanese or English ones, but maybe that's just my view because I grew up with the language. Nevertheless it is always nice to listen to the intros in any language and get lost in the music. 💚🎵

Smile Bomb Eng Dub has a special spot in my heart. It was Saturday night and my mom had gone to the club again. Normally I'd watch Rocky and Bulwinkle and whatever else they showed on Cartoon Network late at night. However, this night they did their "all kids out of the pool" bump, followed by the amazing visuals and vocals of Yu Yu Hakusho's opening. Inuyasha came on afterwards and while I don't think Change the World is better than Smile Bomb, the ending song My Will and visuals are just as dear to me.
I hopped on that Patreon as soon as you mentioned it. Your videos are nostalgia gut punches and I love it.
man yugioh gx... It wasn't a big part of my childhood like the first series or original pokemon, but you awakened latent memories in me from when that series first started. Eating a slice of pizza on Friday catching up with the newest cartoons. Brings a tear to my eye to think about. You're the man.
I'm at work and legit stopped in my tracks at that 5Ds part and just stared into space. Man, I can't believe I forgot about that classic
I just love how well paced all of your videos are. I thought I was halfway through any normal length video, then bam-bop-boom I'm four minutes in
Hell yeah my dude, super hyped for the new year and the new stuff you have planned.
I have such a huge soft spot for these English OPs. There are some straight goted English openings. Dragon ball, DBZ, yu gi oh, Pokémon, sailor moon, yu yu hakusho. I genuinely miss these sometimes, as much as it would be a novelty, it would be sick to see these come back.
I was so ready to get on that Patreon train, I’m so ready for it. It’s been so sick to see you get the recognition you deserve this past year, I hope 2023 is even better.
It's so wild to hear some of these dubbed songs. The only english version of anime openings that I know are the Pokemon and Sailor Moon theme. I prefer the original songs of the show but stuff like these are the reason why anime is special. Thank you for this video!
Sailor Moon! Another classic English opening.
I never actually heard the Japanese openings for some of these anime like Pokemon and Yugi Oh, and I kinda don't want to because the English version is the opening to me.
You mentioned Pokemon themes but didn't mention Unbeatable? That shit gets me SO HYPE!!!
bro i was not expecting bakugan, all the other early openings i was too young for but i was just old enough for bakugan so when u mentioned that i got like a vietnam flashback of the op coming back to me and i couldnt help jamming out with u, i just remembered how much of a bop that was and i was surprised by how much i remembered the lyrics, thanks for reminding me of the absolute banger of a tune it is, and great video, love vibing with these videos while i grind or just have something to do
Watched Saturday morning cartoons at 7am and Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon,digimon,beyblade,sonic x ,TMNT and so many more cartoons changed my life I wish we still had Saturday morning cartoons ahhh the nostalgia is strong in this
Who else loves his videos like everytime he uploads i Insta click IP’s video I already know it is just awesome off rip and I appreciate his videos and wholesomeness. Just wanted to add that.
I always get excited for your videos. It really feels like a relaxing pitstop on the internet.
the yugioh 5ds and dragon ball z kai opening had a chokehold on me as a kid ! absolute bangers and great vid !!
Your videos have a great atmosphere. Comfortable nostalgia for the nerd stuff that I love.
Thank you so much for making this video! The English Yu Yu Hakusho, Shaman King, and Yu-Gi-Oh all mean so much to me!
omg you're really hitting my nostalgia right in the gut. i didn't even know i remembered some of these op lyrics until you played the clips of them 😂 i always enjoy how you start chronologically and research all of the history of all your video topics to share with us!
The bump in the middle of the video hit me perfectly, thank you boss this content is awesome
Awesome video, love the love and perspective. I do think it's worth noting though that there are commercial forces surrounding Japanese OPs, too. The record labels for the OPs and EDs are (to my knowledge) usually one of the companies funding the show. The song may not be there to sell the show or the toys, but the show has that big long OP to sell the artist and the CD.
German anime openings were always the best of all of them though. Like, the german opening of Digimon 01 - 04, Dragonball Z and GT, Monster Rancher, Conan, I loved them so much.
That bump in the middle brought back those adult swim vibes 👌
The algorithm actually gave me a fantastic recommendation.
Love this dude, your style is great. And even though I don't share all your opinions, you laid out your reasoning in such an interesting and positive way. The editing is fantastic, and looking back on your channel I can't believe you've only been doing this a year.
Keep it going man, this shit's great!
Yes! Finally somebody else else who has nostalgia for the OG Dragonball opening.
Maaan I’ve never stopped and listened to the Yu-Gi-Oh 5D’s opening long enough to realize just how insanely good it is. And the Fruity Dino Bites… hands down my favorite cereal right now😌🤙🏾
I just want to say I’ve been waiting on your next video bro, keep up the good work
Other than Pokemon, my first anime dub opening was Smile Bomb (YYH), it's rare for a series to hook me just by the opening alone but it managed to
Always a good day when Internet Pitstop uploads 👍💯
This was such an amazing video! What a wonderful surprise on my dashboard. Will check out your other stuff!
Your videos just always hit the spot when I just want to relax and listen to someone geek out like that
Always full of creative edits and details with good gags. Kudos
I remember I used to misread and heard the Dragon Ball opening. I thought they were saying, "Look at my Dragon Balls! Look out for em all!" No wonder nobody sang the song with me as a Kid...
damn its like you took a video right out of my brain lmao
love this, smile bomb is goated
I literally got soo happy that the nostalgia hit you just as hard as it did to me. You've definitely gained a subscriber. Keep up the good work guys!🙏
One of, if not, my favorite youtubers now. Love your stuff my man, keep this shit up!
Wait was I the only one who LOVED and went hard with the One Piece opening. Like I remember basically nothing from the actual show but id sing along to it to this day making me only happy and nostalgic 💕
Hearing your positive reaction to the "last stretch" of English dubs, where they made a rendition of the OG song, makes me incredibly appreciative of the Latin American dubs - they went for that style basically from the very beginning, and left us with an insane amount of all time favorites that I can wholeheartedly recommend to anyone.
Your channel is really popping off, you deserve it g appreciate all the good content. You also get a +1 from me for the ordon ranch in the background
Man I don’t even watch that much anime but this channels such a vibe. Keep it up dude!
I highly recommend you all to check out the italian openings for all the 90's and 2000's anime shows, they all are bangers and as many may already know we italians are so proud to have such high quality produced songs as openings of so many beloved shows XD
Irresponsible Captain Tylor has an english opening that perfectly gives off the 90s vibe. Always gives me the biggest nostalgia feeling.
i LOVE Irresposible Captain Taylor
Dude, I love your video's man! Keep being amazing
You are actually one of the only youtubers that always makes me laugh out loud, your videos are always a blast
I'm 18 and French. Due to my age, I can't really say I grew with those. I sure do remember seeing Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon on the TV, and even watching Pokemon tapes, but it was more of my sister and brother's gen, I believe. Also, due to my native language, I've never really been confronted to English OPs. Despite that, I remember hearing the Pokemon French dub (it indeed exists) and woaw was it a banger, same with Yu-Gi-Oh of course. Aside from those two, I don't think I had any of those experiences, even the Naruto's was the original, and it feels even older.
The yugioh openings are legendary man, still some of the best
It was real hard listening to the truth you were spitting while singing the Yugioh 5ds intro at the top of my lungs while it was playing
Always look forward to your uploads man! Killing it.
Swag daddy is back 🤩
