Awesome opening. I understand UPN not using this for the broadcast version, but this should've been used on the DVD release of the series. Oh and whoever disliked this can go suck on a tekk-set crystal...
true. Yet we did that with a lot of others too. Mazinger Z, Getter Robo G, and alot of others were changed for no apparent reason. An example of said change was Mazinger Z. It's name was changed to "Tranzor Z" Makes me angry that this kind of thing happens.
Eh, you know how English speaking countries are; they censor and change things on principle. We can't have a hero's machine be considered a DEMON, even in another language, and even if it's not an evil demon! That'd just be TERRIBLE.
Yet today's prime time television beats out anything the video games and television shows of my youth, or even now, subjected me to.
On another note, I prefer the instrumental versions of Tekkaman Blade's songs. SRW W's renditions sounded best to me.
@kongchho LOL UPN Kids fuuuu. Sucked ass when they got rid of tekkaman and replaced it with shitty g.i joe Extreme. It was extreme in the sence that their bodys where huge and heads where small lol
Since the show was canceled before "Eternal Loneliness" was used in the show, it's kind of moot. "Reason's" absence, however, is curious. Especially since you consider the DVD release of Teknoman uses the original intros.
I kind of wonder if there was a rights issue. But then, in the 90s, it was incredibly common to feature heavily edited versions of Japanese programming. Saban was a particular "offender," so it's unsurprising. but even this was a step up from the 80s.
@shadowhawk27 Because it was aimed towards younger kids. They wouldn't have understood a Japanese intro, that's why saban replaced it with an English one.
@PowerRangerYELLLOW That's because Ban Dai and the Ocean Group either made edits to the title to include the English logo and intended for the show to be both Japanese and uncut to start with. The Ocean Group just made alterations to the dialogue, all the violence remained. The english version of Tekkaman Blade was heavily edited, a pity you didn't think that through first.

Back then they were more used to bastardizing anime in their own image than let the original context be seen.
