For what it's worth, it was still fun to watch.

Even all the way back in the Dragon Ball days, Mystical Adventure was a complete banger that's unironically in my workout playlist.

Damn that was a banger. I've only ever seen the original Dragon Ball through a torrent which replaces all of the music with the original Japanese tracks, so I've never heard it until now.

I'm glad DBZ Kai exists, but all my nostalgia is for the Ocean and Funimation eras. I just really love their synth-heavy atmospheric soundtracks, and then when Faulconer came on board and added guitars to the mix it was perfect. The music is probably the biggest reason why I never clicked with DB Super, come to think of it.

Whoa, never heard the English version before. So interesting that they actually re-recorded the entire song rather than using the original instrumental. Maybe it was worth it to avoid the licensing costs? Might also just be that the fledgling anime dub industry didn't get that kind of access. Come to think of it, Sailor Moon's DiC dub also re-recored the OP (original for comparison).
