Superior English Eva OP

This one always sounded like the woman is trying WAY too hard. Especially at the beginning.

Not too bad though. There are definitelly worse. I still prefer the OPs version

I dislike all the AmaLee ones. They all have that... generic dub voice. You know? All dub voice actresses have some sort of similar inflect or something... I can't explain it.
Maybe it's an American thing.

Yea I see what you mean. Its like they are reading/singing their lines with too much knowlage that they are doing a dub. Like every sylable is said intentionally instead of naturally

The dragon ball op dub is okay. It starts out pretty shitty though. Some of the openings that Funimation dubbed for One Piece are also fine.

English covers of anything tend to be absolutely terrible so I try to avoid them.

Cringe.

100% ass and you know it that's why you feel guilty.

Even vocaloid versions are better.

>Cringe.
Cringe.

The first time I heard CAT from AmaLee I hated it but it grew on me after a while. Most of her stuff sounds incredibly unnatural though.

There is one English version I actually like more than the original and that's Overlord's OP:

If the OP is originally recorded in english I can bear with it, but these all sound awful if compared to the originals.

My favorites tend to be rock covers

I like this a bit.

>Even i try to be strong and close my heart
>I have been dying since that day, I could not bare the memories
>I cannot live like this so can we please rewind back to that day

That NHK version is the only okay one you posted.
I mainly use English OPs to learn how to sing the opening to a song since subtitles don't always sing well.

Are you serious?

I agree with db being good

what the fuck do you people think singing is?

There's like 2 or 3 good ones.

I really like amalee but I get this weird feeling she's a thot.

Far better than the English one.

only one i like and it's only because of the chorus

I miss the days when anime OPs were dubbed as well like the English versions of the Yu Yu Hakusho openings and endings.

My bone brother

Thank 4kids for that dying out.
Mew Mew Power and Shaman King. I'm still mad.
Glad Funimation learned to stop it after ruining Sakura Kiss in Host Club as well.

>looks it up

what's wrong? sounds cute

>Glad Funimation learned to stop it after ruining Sakura Kiss in Host Club as wel

How that got passed as okay I'll never fucking know. That dub Op was garbage.

Pretty sure they still dub Openings for things like DBS though.

Same here OP. I tend to actually really like these english covers. It's a gamble for sure, but when it works I really do enjoy them. Sometimes more than the original, though that's rather rare.

The state of Sup Forums.

There is this really good cover of Sousei no Aquarion out there that I havent been able to find agian.

>watching some youtube 3DPD e-celebs ""singing"" anime openings
The current state of Sup Forums, everyone.

I kind of like this rendition, but it's probably because it's Sorairo Days, so it gets carried if you just put in even a bit of emotion.

Otherwise I'm not just ever feeling it. Usually either the singer is bad or the translation doesn't flow.
