So, I had said that I'd remake the opening and ending sequences when I first got my Hauppauge HD PVR, and I sure enough did! :D

=====
Opening Song: Hirari {Nimbly}
Artist: Kouji Wada
From the anime: Digimon Savers (Digimon Data Squad)

The Type A Opening retains some familiar sequences from the original one but most of it is either changed completely, rearranged, or just flat out brand new like having most of the minor characters make an brief appearance in it as well! :D

Oh yes, and the "Smash King" logo has been enhanced as well. Original drawing is still by me, but fellow VS member, Smasher6425, both colored and edited it to how you see it here. :3

=====
Ending Song: Mai Mirai {My Future}
Artist: Saeka Uura
From the anime: Kekkaishi

Now THIS. THIS was the hardest to remake. Cuz I had initially wanted a copy of the original, but I had several "creator's block" moments when I realized how... bland the original was in comparison to my later work. I had wanted something that can stand next to the 2nd ending in terms of presentation. So, I thought to remake the sequence to better follow the lyrics of the song, but that didn't turn out too well either. Then, it finally hit me; just loosen up. I decided to trash the original completely (with the exception of one particular sequence featuring Wario, lol) and play up a new sequence as a comedy, just a day when Team Bowser go out to a vacation spot to train together and have fun with their friends. The video sequence then became something of a rhetoric to the song, like "as long as I take control of my life and not worry too much about any shortcomings, my future will be just like this." Everything fell right into place from that point, coupled with Liz and Zelda's omission from the opening being compensated with their prevalent appearances in the ending, perhaps the most fun animations I've made so far, and all the references I could sneak in as possible. See if you can spot them all!

Hope you enjoy~ :D
