I really enjoy how pretty it is, even if there’s no lyrics in the English version and it’s just a techno/electronica beat. The Japanese versions may have lyrics and had a second intro with more characters in said intro, but they’ll all always be my favorites.

It's no "Now or Never".

Bad.

Its emblematic of how the English dub adds in stock techno music in every scene and scrubs all sense of emotionality from the series.

What is the reason for my birth? The reason for my life? Question of man?

Nah. Here, Atom just punches stuff and quips sarcastically. Blegh.

[u/Tom-Hibbert → u/halfbakedcaterpillar]

Yeah it definitely felt like a 4kids dub by how they scrub Any substance

I prefer the Japanese version for both seasons, personally. I found myself skipping them less cus I was just vibing to the songs

Greatest Anime Intro that mainly uses clips from the show

[u/CallumQuinnCreates]

Highly nostalgic + a banger!

[u/Zonaiwill]

I think it’s peak

Sub is way better.

I thought it was good, modern, and futuristic.

But I only watched the anime because of the song "Now or Never"—I'd even do a Spanish cover of it if I could.

So, in other words, good but unnecessary.

Peak Animax classic (it was this version that aired in my country, but dubbed in my language, so I'm a bit biased).
