Soaring Symphony 372 April 23, 2015 Share April 23, 2015 (edited) I recently discovered something amazing. Over in Italy, the official theme song of FIM sounds like this. How awesome would it be if the staff at DHX translated this song into English and used it as the theme song for a future season(maybe season six?)?????? What do all you fellow Bronies and Pegasisters think??? Would that be a good Idea???? NOTE: this video is the extended version of the song. On the actual episodes of the show, it only lasts about 1 minute or so. The reason I picked this one specifically is that the only other video I could find (at least in the states anyway) doesn't have the best video quality and appears to be from season 1 (in other words, it's outdated). Here's the video if you're curious. Edited April 24, 2015 by Serenade 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colt_following 169 April 23, 2015 Share April 23, 2015 Wow, so very different! I really like what I saw though... I'll have to watch the whole thing later. When I first started watching the show I thought they'd change the title sequence (or at least SOMETHING) each season, like in many other animated series. They sort of did, but nothing huge is different for EVERY season. I'd be interested in seeing a new title sequence for future seasons! Come join the Equestria Big Band project!

Castle Bleck 19,386 April 23, 2015 Share April 23, 2015 Sounds like an anime intro. Which is good, BTW. 2 By @Emerald Heart.↑ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleh 481 April 23, 2015 Share April 23, 2015 Well its much better and less cringeworthy than the one we've got at the moment. Prefer the Japanese one though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banul 3,831 April 23, 2015 Share April 23, 2015 Eh, I think it's too long to be an opener. I know anime does it, but they at least have credits going during it. Besides, I'm kind of attached to what we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Fox 1,145 April 23, 2015 Share April 23, 2015 Personally, I'm one of the ( fairly few, apparently, ) who really like this current theme. Not just the music, but it also just gets me nostalgic for the first season of the show, how I felt watching it for the first time, and how simple and modest the show was back then. ( Not that I feel the show has detoriated, mind you; just that, things always have a charm when you first see them that can't be replicated. ) In fact, I might would actually have liked it more if they never did the new animation touches to it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just skip it because its cringeworthy xD Like, obviously the shows girly, but the intros just bad to me >.< Also a fanmade Japanese OP Edited April 24, 2015 by Aleh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creamy Arty 6,252 April 24, 2015 Share April 24, 2015 Localization differences are sometimes necessary due to language and cultural barriers. Both the Italian and Japanese teams have done fantastic work in adapting the opening to their respective countries. Personally, I think that each version possesses a unique charm, and that the English version perfectly captures the spirit of the show, delighting most children and bronies in the areas receiving that broadcast. Some disagree in this thread, and this wouldn't be the first time I've heard people say they prefer the intros other countries have or that ours is "cringeworthy." Contrarily, I know a lot of people feel as I do, and there's nothing quite like the experience of being in a massive auditorium of bronies at a convention while they sing the theme in unison when an episode plays, followed by jubilant cheering. Please, leave it be. I think it's perfect as it is. 3 Kyoshi made this ^^ Come join us on Equestria.tv on Fridays at 6 PM Eastern for our weekly movie nights!

[NULL] 907 April 24, 2015 Share April 24, 2015 (edited) As much as I would've liked that, I think we're too close to the end of the series for that to happen. Edited April 24, 2015 by SpaceOnion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honsou 399 April 24, 2015 Share April 24, 2015 (edited) It should be this song. It captures the spirit perfectly. ----Edit--- It's an attempt a joke before anyone gets all up in arms about the post. It's actually the theme song from Sacred 2 Fallen Angel. And No way fits MLP FiM, as FiM doesn't even play with the notion of war.

Please, leave it be. I think it's perfect as it is. For the second thread in a row I'm in perfect agreement with Arty. The American version, while indeed silly, has plenty of charm and heart all of it's own. Yeah it's not the most catchy thing out there, but it works quite good. Plus you know it works when it can get crowns of people cheering at the start. <3 2 Pathfinder I Sojourner I Corsair | Zu'hra I Autumn | Scarlet Willow | Gypsy | Silverthorn | Crystal Whisper | Radiant Historia | And many other OCs~ Matching signatures with mah Bestie MOONLIGHT <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colt_following 169 April 24, 2015 Share April 24, 2015 Oh yeah , I pretty much always skip the intro. It's only a throwback to years of hearing the jingle on commercials, and I DESIPSED it then. I can tolerate it now, but I particularly am irked by those first ten notes. Come join the Equestria Big Band project! "A little glass of water, please..."

Firedog 320 April 24, 2015 Share April 24, 2015 (edited) I like the current intro but I wouldn't mind to spice things up a bit, it gets tiredsome hearing the same intro over and over. Maybe change it just a lil bit. PS: I love this fanmade intro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8rLRqvvUHI Edited April 24, 2015 by Firedog 3 Pony NEWS YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainboom Dash 1,056 April 24, 2015 Share April 24, 2015 I wouldn't mind a new theme song or a remix myself. I think after 5 seasons of the same thing it's time for something new. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sort of did, but nothing huge is different for EVERY season. That's usually just anime. Most western cartoons rarely change their intro, and if they do it's usually just the animation that's changed like how they've made adjustments to the show's intro.

Pastel 7,630 April 24, 2015 Share April 24, 2015 Even though I don't like the current theme, I think everyone is used to it. Personally I don't want it to change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowking58 1,137 April 24, 2015 Share April 24, 2015 I do wish they would come up with a new theme song. One that isn't as annoying as the current one. Especially after hearing it for 4 Seasons long. (Season 5 is still in progress) All My OCS Quote “The only time a lawyer can cry is when it's all over."

BastementSparkle 20,334 April 24, 2015 Share April 24, 2015 I actually like the theme. It was kinda annoying at first but it's really grown on me now. I don't think I want the whole theme itself to change, but I wouldn't mind it if they did it like Doctor Who. Where they do a remix of the same theme for a next intro. 1 Twilight is best pony.
