Ive been watching toonami for a long time and ever since I started watching it either the shows on toonami have custom intros or they have had custom intros and the original intro cut in half. I think they should just leave the original intros and outros and just translate them

The companies who give CN these shows make the intros. It's not CN's fault they're that way.
Also, I think the custom intros should be longer, if anything. I miss the 30 second custom intros that Toonami used to have back in the old days. Tons of adrenaline-pumping action footage was what made them cool in the first place. It was like watching a mini-AMV and it rocked. Now all we have are two quotes, little to no action, and 7 seconds worth of footage. <sniff> It's just not the same... _________________ Toonami visual schedule - UPDATED AUGUST 2, 2015

it was kinda cool when dbz use to start. I partly agree with you but the companies who give cn the shows do not make the custom intros because on dvd you can see the original intro which was translated by the same companies who give the shows to cn

From Toon Zone's interview with Toonami head honcho Sean Akins:
Quote:
TZ: The intros: Toonami always used to give shows a thirty-second custom intro, but with the new look, some shows get a seven-second one with the original intro while others get a full thirty. How does that get decided?
SA: A bunch of different factors weigh into that. A lot of times, when you get a show from a distributor, they're thinking they're going to extend this property to other areas, vis-a-vis DVDs and CDs. If they have a signature theme song they're attached to, they want to hear that.
TZ: The Rave-olution.
SA: Right, exactly. You see where I'm coming from. We always felt the "Toonami Intros" were another way to extend the Toonami brand. And once you've made that decision, it is sort of second nature to remove the original opening. You don't want to see two opens back-to-back-that would be just kind of silly. So, if the distributors are real sticklers and want to hear the theme song, we put the short intro on it. If we're allowed to do what we want to do, then we usually give it its own intro and remove the one it came with. That's something that started with some of the first Toonami incarnations.
TZ: Back with Moltar.
SA: Way back when. Mainly, it started back when we were picking up some older shows, shows with just horrible intros. They were just awful. We still get in trouble with a lot of fans when we talk about it. A lot of fans want to hear the old, horrible theme songs-why they want to hear them, I have no idea, but I assume it's because they just don't get to hear them and feel like they're missing out. If we had never done any of this, there would be no clamor to hear those theme songs.
But, it's something that the fans responded to, one of those things that gets batted back and forth all the time. I thought it was our chance to sort of flex our muscles a little bit, to further the brand. But if the fans look at it as something that they're losing rather than something they're getting, then it's not worth our time and effort. We used to pour our hearts into those things, and we still do on the ones we get to do. But if people just think "Oh, this is Toonami's intro, they're blowing away the real intro," then maybe we'll stop doing them.
Anyway, I always thought what we did was top notch. I thought the opens we put on were better than the opens already on there. But like I said, it all comes down to what the fans want.
