	I always been a HUGE Lupin The 3rd fan and thought very highly of the opening.

	Please do not share your own favorite english anime openings. I didn't ask for them.

	Karutomaru: Please do not share your own favorite english anime openings. I didn't ask for them. I don't see the problem when other people are posting other themes. And considering the choices negate anything older then thirty years old. When you have a thread about the "best" be willing to get answers ranging from new or older Anime and English openings and the silly terrible dub video. It happens and I think the thread is better for it. Ohh forgot one also,

	Don't forget the opening for. Bobobo-bo-bo-bobo It was originally supposed to be a rap metal theme but they changed it to this theme.

You may have noticed there are some English in those lyrics and you never said it had to be an entirely English opening.

Karutomaru	261 POSTED: 2 May 2012 00:10
	It's heavily implied. To be an english opening means to be created by english artists.

	Heavily implied, yet not explicitly stated so open to interpretation. Language is fun.

	Wait a second... To be an english opening means to be created by english artists. Rock the Dragon was written and performed by Shuki Levy and Kussa Mahehi(no wiki page), who are definitely not English. Palestinian it seems like. So this just in, the Rock the Dragon DBZ opening is not an English opening. I'll say it again. Language is fun.

Well if you wanna be really pedantic you could say none of the OP's openings are English because they're American. Hey, language is fun!

Karutomaru	272 POSTED: 2 May 2012 00:59
	How are they terrible at dubbing? I've never seen a bad 4Kids dub. And why do people keep using that Futurama clip?

game-lover	273 POSTED: 2 May 2012 01:10
	For me, the biggest issue with 4kids was always the censoring. Honestly, that was the main problem with One Piece for me. I didn't mind the voices. I thought they were incredibly fitting. It's just there were lots of skipped episodes and changes that made no sense and that was their downfall. They were really good with Pokemon. When they stopped, I noticed and that's when I stopped watching. Veronica Taylor is the only Ash!! But yeah, they're really bad at skipping over eps. Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds had a lot of episodes skipped over that were never shown. I think that's why it seemed to end so abruptly. It was by far the shortest season to me.

	Karutomaru: How are they terrible at dubbing? I've never seen a bad 4Kids dub. And why do people keep using that Futurama clip? Because Futurama is great and if you believe any of your statements then its that much more funny and so we laugh even harder when you act like you believe the absurd statements that you post. Also nothing 4kids has ever touched has come out good, you may like it because of nostalgia, but its not good.

I don't care how awesome that opening is. Read the title! Best ENGLISH anime opening! There is English in the opening. I still have about twelve other Anime openings I want to show but I think I want to space them out. I also can post Anime openings that have subtitles that are done by Americans does that count? =0 I can post the Fist of the North Star opening from Manga Entertainment since its nothing but a synthesiser and no lyrics. It was really generic and you wa shock was tons better.

eyepatchdreams	276 POSTED: 2 May 2012 02:17
	I say this video is quite relevant. This is a Dub comparison with 4kids vs. Funimation

knight steel	277 POSTED: 2 May 2012 11:57
	Hmm i guess I have to go with this: http://youtu.be/0H8Axz7MSeg Out of your selection i would have to choose DBZ mainly because i like upbeat songs ^_^

	eyepatchdreams: I say this video is quite relevant. This is a Dub comparison with 4kids vs. Funimation I like all the voice actors in the 4Kids dub, but even I can't deny that Mihawk's voice was horribly unfitting. It's not that the voice actor himself does a terrible job, but they went about it all wrong. What a miscast.
