New Opening!

[SSJSteve]

Woah! Loving the new opening animation!

[mysteriousdbzgt]

I agree the new opening animation is awesome.

[kenisu3000]

YES!
A new opening title... brand-new BGM right from the start... a whopping lot of new animation for the opening sequence.... and there'll be a new ending theme and surely new eyecatches later in the ep...

I'm happy!!

[Metalwario64]

Keyhole is acting up so much that I could barely make it out... All I saw was a frozen frame of 16, a nearly motionless Trunks, Super Saiyan Goku flying at the screen, and Goku ready to use Shunkan Ido at the end...

[SSJSteve]

Yeah mine was playing up a bit as well. I'm pretty sure I saw SSJ2 Gohan standing and Android 17 & 18.

[KaiserNeko]

Ok, at first I was a little pissed, but the entire second half is nearly all re-animated. Beautifully at that, absolutely great shots. Love it. Still... probably could have updated those shots with really little Gohan, and Tenshinhan and Chaotzu. They're... really not in the arc, almost at all, with the exception of Tenshinhan a little.

Oh well, love the new stuff enough to make up for it, for the most part. =D

[Goku100xKamehameha]

The OP is full of Super Saiyans! and i don't record the new OP.

[Goku100xKamehameha]

Yeah mine was playing up a bit as well. I'm pretty sure I saw SSJ2 Gohan standing and Android 17 & 18.

no that's SSJ Gohan standing in Kami's place

[mysteriousdbzgt]

The OP is full of Super Saiyans! and i don't record the new OP.

The song is still the same, but there was new animation for this arc.

EDIT

And new eye catchers.

[Goku100xKamehameha]

New eyecath!

[SSJSteve]

no that's SSJ Gohan standing in Kami's place

Oh right. I knew I saw him standing.

I know

[kenisu3000]

KeyHole's acting up for me too, really badly... so I was only barely able to tell that there was a lot of new animation for the OP.
It makes me mad, because it was working beautifully JUST BEFORE Kai started. I wonder if it has anything to do with the number of people tuning in?

But MAN, I'm really digging the new music used while the Z-Warriors are flying in toward the spot where Freeza's going to land.

[LeprikanGT]

Whoa, there IS a new OP? Where can I see it at?

[Kendamu]

Ok, at first I was a little pissed, but the entire second half is nearly all re-animated. Beautifully at that, absolutely great shots. Love it. Still... probably could have updated those shots with really little Gohan, and Tenshinhan and Chaotzu. They're... really not in the arc, almost at all, with the exception of Tenshinhan a little.

Ohw ell, love the new stuff enough to make up for it, for the most part. =D

I'm hoping that later in the arc it switches to them fighting Cell Juniors or something.

I was able to make out some of the really cool new opening animation, but it was very laggy for me as well.

Lastly, while most of the music is stuff we've heard up to this point, there were a few new tracks here and there. In this regard, it's just like DBZ: mostly the same music with some new tracks here and there.

EDIT: Oh, and the new ending animation looks really cool and the music is okay but not memorable like the previous one. Also, new preview music.

[kenisu3000]

Whoa... did anyone catch that bit with Gohan and Kuririn looking over their shoulders? That was re-traced, wasn't it? Is it just me, though, or did they actually, FINALLY decide to use different values in the lineart, instead of the usual horrible-looking thin lines?

Sometimes, Keyhole is like that for me. It acts perfectly before Kai comes on which is odd. Today, however, it's not too bad for me.

[Goku100xKamehameha]

New ending!
