Basically the closest thing we'll ever get to a good TMNT Anime! :)

[Master Rabid]

Yep. That sure is Japanese alright! XD Interesting how the video was mostly untouched; usually they went out of their way to make new animation for the openings/endings, but I guess this doesn't gel quite as well with their style, despite the Anime-esque physical humor.

The song is nice and energetic, but it dosen't beat Power Up Turtles (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNQOKqDGQEY). “Go, go, turtles…”

I like the chiptune in the background. Nice.

[Powder]

Really reminds me of Hige Driver, a japanese chiptune/alt rock band. Sick, I dig it. If it turns up in better quality I hope someone posts it!

[CyberCubed]

I love how anime dubs ruins Japanese openings and TvTokyo destroys American openings.

Too bad the anime attached to that theme song was horrible.

[Shark_Blade]

Well that was awful.

I pity for Japan.

[snake]

Meh. I liked the song, but some of the visuals weren't that good.

I personally thought it was great, I love how ridiculous it is.

[Ninjinister]

Too bad the anime attached to that theme song was horrible.

Someone never saw the anime.

[Gabriel GP]

Man, my ears are bleeding.

[drgon78]

Well that was "entertaining":lol: Though I am surprised they left the intro mostly in tack.

[tmntpower1988]

I actually like this better than the English rap version.

[Donatello19]

The music itself is really good, but I can safely say the US has a better intro sequence IMO. This one's mostly made up of clips taken from the show, I hate when they do that with intros.

[saber16]

I like it, but it's not as memorable as the English version for me. Not bad.

[Coola Yagami]

My girl started carmeldancing the moment she heard it (mostly poking fun at those that do carmeldancing). It's catchy when the song hits its stride, but I didn't like the video-gamey sounding intro and could have done without the auto-tune middle of it. Still good, but I liked the japanese 4Kids song better.

[Electric]

I actually like this version. I can't say it's better or worse than the English one, since they're two completely different styles, but I like both

[Candy Kappa]

I like the energy in the Japanese version a lot more then the English version, whoever is rapping that one sounds bored out of their mind.

It helps that it's most likely a real song. Most anime use actual popular songs as their intro and outro theme, not just the typical 'this is a cartoon about 'insert here' so let's make a cheap quick song about the title and/or main characters'.

[Electric]

Is just me, or Mikey is the turtle who receives more focus in the opening?

I think it's just because he's the cute, lovable character, and from my little experience in anime, they seem to like to show owe the adorable characters in the intro.

[zkarlette]

Nice! I really like this intro, I really want to check out a full episode.

[DrSpengler]

The song was a little bland to my ears. The lyrics are the usual melodramatic, faux-poetic J-pop stuff. I mean, it opens with "This floating world is a dreaming play." Sheesh

Still, it wasn't bad or anything. I liked "Jounetsu no Kaze" from the 4Kids Japanese dub a lot more, but to each his own.

Of course, there is a problem with this intro being a minute and thirty seconds long. The ending credits will likely be extended in length, too, to accommodate a longer end theme.

So I'm betting the episodes will be cut for time to make room for these songs and that unanimously sucks. It's the standard for all American cartoons aired on TV Tokyo in the past several years, so I won't get my hopes up that the episodes will air uncut.

The end credits theme is up (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV4m0u0nipE), "Booyakasha" by Ulfuls.

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

That's pretty cool! wish the video had English subtitles.

Might have to find a video that does have English subtitles added

[victory_angel]

It has good energy. But the song sounds more like a theme song for Naruto then Ninja Turtles too me.

Ending credits???

"It takes the power of one to start running.
It takes the power of two to chase.
It takes the power of three to rise up.
It takes the power of four to strike hard."

Truly inspirational lyrics.
