Given some of the plots, this isn't too far off. :D

School Rumble is on that long list of classic anime that I've sworn to watch, but probably won't get to for a very long time because stuff.

At points it gets to be kind of a parody of action anime tropes and some quite goofy action scenes. I'm not sure if it would really be your thing as a whole, though. Its not always like that.

Really tough choices...I like them all. A lot. Which at least is a much better situation than not liking any of them. XD If half of these would have been switched up with half of the last round, I'd be happier...whatever wins here, two excellent OPs will be biting the dust.

(If there's a tie, there are several titles I could swap around.)

1.  "Scramble" (School Rumble) - Captures so much of the show's heart and humor, fantastic song, love the whole 'spinning' visual theme. So much to look at!
2. "Hitori no Yoru" (Great Teacher Onizuka)  - So much attitude and story! Totally shows the character's personality.
3.  "Smile Bomb" (Yu Yu Hakusho) - Full of joy and energy. Makes me want to watch the show.
4. "Guardian Angel" (Texhnolyze) Just so much amazing atmosphere and mind-control...can't take my eyes and ears off it. This was actually my gut-reaction choice for first place, but after thinking about it, if I was actually watching the series, I would probably skip over this intro after seeing it a few times, where the others I'd watch over and over...

DEFENSE!! DEFENSE!!___OFFENSE!! OFFENSE!!

Smile Bomb - Kurama powering up is the best!
GTO - So wait, he was just high on his couch and just dreamed/hallucinated the whole thing?
Tedafnjegfnanf - Trippy but kind of annoying to watch.
Rumble - So wait, what's with the girl with the gun? So random.
