This music choice always puzzled me. The intro theme is a hard edged metal track, the outro a weird techno synth recording with Indian raga percussion vibe. I still get the nostalgia feels though. This was the summer after my first year in college.
On the dvd versions (maybe even vhs version as well) this was longer, and yes, I very much do love the calmness of it. I have the complete season 1 of this uncut dub on dvd still. This ending, along with the intro used, is so unique that I miss them.
For those who are wondering why did they choose this ending music, it's mainly from the American localization of Animes. Their main grasp was this, *Make the opening music hypeful and/or intriguing so the audience will be compelled to watch the show, then make the ending music something calm and/or smooth so it can make the viewers sleep easy.* I've seen this pattern of Animes that have been localized. Paranoia Agent, Zoids, Big-O, etc.
Native anime had been doing this stuff for decades beforehand lol, in fact Kikuchi Shunsuke himself was the first with the Tiger Mask series of 1969 where the OP was energetic and the ED melancholic, which apparently changed the face of anime songs.
Am I the only one who's creeped out by this credits sequence? The blood red pictures popping up on the side of the pitch black screen, the chilling instrumental made up of slight synth and percussion and drums, the high-pitched voice whispering "rock the dragon" at some point. It makes me feel uneasy.
Wait, which Uncut DVDs? The Ultimate Uncut ones FUNimation first released, or the orange brick DVDs? I know the orange brick ones had the Japanese ending with this music in the background if you picked the Faulconer track, but otherwise, I didn't know this was a shortened version.
@@TheMattathonShow It isn't even a Faulconer track funny enough. It's by Nathan Johnson. The Faulconer ending is this: m.ruclips.net/video/k3TJbTnR7ik/видео.html
Brendan Richko Same! I remembered the intro and this vividly but never saw them since and thought I was crazy and they didn't exist but now I finally found them again...
The thing about this theme in the credits was it had a calming yet some form of uneasiness behind it. Probably because of the red images but I do like it's style
TheMattathonShow Yeah, any time it crosses your mind it'd be greatly appreciated. It took me forever just to find this video. I wouldn't even know where to begin searching for the title, lol.
I would make fun of this for being so underwhelming compared to Zenkai but this is 9001x better than that Faulconer crap and the instrumental version of Rock the Dragon

I think it was meant to cool down the viewer really.

The music choice was perfect! This is how you feel after a wild ride on the come down.
It still has a bit of a dark tone to it.
@Soumik40 No.

Big-O had a great ending, it took me years to hear the full version again

Wow I remember watching this yeas ago. I think it was the summer right before I got into highschool.
Yea I remember renting these dvds back in high school in '06-'07. Those were the days
Daaaang.... Summer of 05, just before Senior Year of High School. Every weeknight at 9:30 was it? Ahhh...

Same

This was my favorite version of Dragon Ball Z. Also, on the UNCUT DVDs, the ending is longer.
Wait, which Uncut DVDs? The Ultimate Uncut ones FUNimation first released, or the orange brick DVDs? I know the orange brick ones had the Japanese ending with this music in the background if you picked the Faulconer track, but otherwise, I didn't know this was a shortened version.
The Ultimate Uncut releases.

@@Gameplayer-vm5ml Mark Menza actually. Look at the credits. Nathan Johnson did the actual music for episodes 1-67 Uncut but Menza did the ending
Takes me back to the good old days of Cartoon Network
I miss this alot as a child from 2006 to 2008
Us 2000s kids had it good man
Whispers: Summon up the dragon
I remember watching it when I was four...damn this the best fucking show.
R.I.P. Akira Toryiama
Damnnnn bro childhood i would watch these from like 2008-2009
I still have that on DVD
my childhood🙃🙃🙃
I remember this was around the time
They had the hot coffee recall on gta san Andres and X-Men evolution would come on at 10 30 I think .
Time flys .
:`(
Thank you so much, i was thinking about this like 10 years ago on the summer when i was 7
this song is so fucking scary for it's time, especially when you had the flu or were sick and heard this
This sounds much a voodoo zombie tv series than an action anime.
I remember my parents renting DVD's for me at Blockbuster when I was 5. lol.
Brendan Richko Same!

Damn, this is from 05 i believe, i was in Kindergarten that year lol
Zaki “*Dang”
A split-screen style (showing frames from the show next to the credits) would’ve also been a choice.
seen on CN
sound like rock the dragon.
Idk why but this theme always keeps reminding me of super mario galaxy’s honey hive galaxy, I just don’t know why
Mouth full of mashed cheez it on the roof of your mouth, vibes.
Diddy Kong and Knuckles smoking
do you have any recordings of dbz uncut?
I have a few episodes, but most of them aren't in full, just parts. I used to have way more but I don't know where a lot of the tapes went.
TheMattathonShow yeah, I remember watching this during the summer of 2005, thanks
+TheMattathonShow Can I have them?
I wish I could share them.
Damn it.
Oh wow, even the outro is red lol
I've been trying to track down an MP3 of this track fro sometime.
I don't suppose you know the name?
+MarxForever I had known it at one point but now it outright escapes me. I'll let you know if I remember.
TheMattathonShow
Yeah, any time it crosses your mind it'd be greatly appreciated. It took me forever just to find this video. I wouldn't even know where to begin searching for the title, lol.
+MarxForever Summon Up The Dragon by Mark Menza
It was longer.
Why so short?
Arian yeah... You never hear the end credits themes on tv only on vhs and DVD
To be clear, even if the intention was to "cool down" the viewers... this is bar none the most mid way to do it.
Even though I'm cool with this, very anticlimactic compared to the intro...
What the fuck is that?
What’s what?
I would make fun of this for being so underwhelming compared to Zenkai but this is 9001x better than that Faulconer crap and the instrumental version of Rock the Dragon
😂
