Round 1: Match 40

1. "Ask DNA" (Cowboy Bebop: The Movie) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofSLCFxJ8Jo
2. "Soushou Innocence" (Riddle Story of Devil) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyDGMpg-3BM
3. "Hikari" (Magi: The Kingdom of Magic) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3q8Yzp6eGU
4. "Kerero March" (SGT Frog) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWCbVRnOsdg


It's another good one. What a surprise.

"Ask DNA" - Very cool, with some amazing subtle animation here.
"Soushou Innocence" - Pretty exciting, kick-ass stuff.
"Keroro March" - The iconic SGT. Frog opening. Made a good first impression on me back when I saw it in '08, I tell you what (though it's no Afro Gunso). 
"Hikari" - Good, but has a weaker song than the others, and plays out more typically too.

I'll vote later. It's good to see the greatest anime movie ever that's also better than it's show in this round.

I thought you considered Lupin III: The Castle of Cagilostro to be the "greatest anime movie ever"?

Not even close. I've always liked Secret Of Mamo more. Foggle can confirm this.

2. "Soushou Innocence" (Riddle Story of Devil) - 9
3. "Hikari" (Magi: The Kingdom of Magic) - 10

"Ask DNA" and "Keroro March" move on to round 2.

Round 1: Match 41

1. "What's Up People?" (Death Note) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGQAjAjsZNo
2. Fist Of The Northstar English Opening - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJTT8Ylf4ss&
3. "Monotone Summer" (Urusei Yatsura) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maQHESzwiZo
4. "Ohayou" (Hunter X Hunter (1999)) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hANaSlH9wpw


My Picks:

"Monotone Summer" - Not that exciting visually, but the song is just so good. I also like the use of doors in the opening, considering this is the opening for the  "Inaba the Dreammaker" OVA.
"Ohayou" - Again, not that exciting visually, but the song is nice.
"What's Up People" - Crazy stuff, but the song can get a bit grating at times.
FOTNS English Opening - I like the beat, but the timing with the footage is haphazard and left little impact to me.

Dr. Ensatsu-ken

Hunter X Hunter- Classic.
Urusei Yatsura- I really like it.
What's Up People?- Not entirely my thing, but it's fun in a crazy sort of way
FOTNS- Wow....they traded in the badass Japanese opening for this crappy clip show? So boring.

gunswordfist

Fist Of The Northstar - Gets me pumped to watch the English show every time.
Ohayou - It took me some time to like it but now I love it! Catchy.
Urusei - That was so boring.
Death Note - What the hell was that shit? The opening taught me nothing about the show and the song was painful to listen to. Would not bang.
