Round 1: Match 9

1. "Honoo no Takaramono" (Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro) - http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xee6q7_lupin-iii-castle-of-cagliostro-open_shortfilms (NOTE: skip to 2:04)
2. "Spurt!" (Pokemon: Advanced Generation) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvftmTrqOO4
3.  "Midnight Blues" (Ashita no Joe 2) - http://www.crunchyroll.com/champion-joe-2/episode-27-a-new-start-650889
4. "Uninstall" (Bokurano) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05p646nlYS0

My Picks:

"Spurt" - Oh man does this opening pump me up. All of Satoshi's pokemon up to that point cameoing, the sequence where his current team battles random pokemon is an awesomely animated sequence (I especially love Pikachu volt tackling Aipom, who then jumps up and slaps the screen with her tail). Great stuff.

"Honoo no Takaramono" - A great sequence of nice visuals and a memorable song. I wish there was a glitch-free version I could find.

"Midnight Blues" - Great song, though a bit lazy with the visuals in the second half.

"Uninstall" - A pretty good opening, but kind of slow in the middle. I prefer the others in this match.

Nah, people have their preferences. I was just making a reaction in good fun.

Round 1: Match 10

1. "Tatakae! Casshern" (Neo Human Casshern) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aG2W05xJ76o
2. "Mezase Pokemon Master" (Pokemon) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42_YqelDJ-Y
3. "Growing of my heart" (Detective Conan) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JdfT8IkttU
4. "Eternal Blaze" (Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSdnH5JtBgw

Yeah, so I should've mentioned this before, but we'll be seeing a Pokemon opening in each of the next few matches  :

"Tatakae! Casshern" - Old school cheesy goodness.
"Mezase Pokemon Master" - I prefer this to the U.S. intro. It's just more upbeat, catchy, and cool. The lyrics are better too.
"Growing of my heart" - A pretty good Conan opening.
"Eternal Blaze" - Didn't really click with me for some reason.
