Round 1: Match 14

1. "Nibun no Ichi" (Gundam Build Fighters) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cvEVNBH6GM
2. "Little Date" (Ranma 1/2) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PakEavBlyiE

4. "Diamond Flower" (Black Cat) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ME7L45ui9g

My Picks:

"Diamond Flower" - Kickass. I haven't watched the Black Cat anime, but this works wonders for me as a fan of the manga (though I need to finish it sometime).
"Little Date" - This one has really stuck with me for whatever reason.
"Nibun no Ichi" - Awesome images and animation, but the song...I dunno.
"I'll be the One" - Good, but doesn't stand out to me.

Round 1: Match 15

1. "Gurren no Yumiya" (Attack on Titan) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OkpRK2_gVs
2. "Big-O!" (The Big O) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7_Od9CmTu0

4. "Get Along" (The Slayers) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfyGJacqsNo

Wow, a really awesome round today!:

"Get Along" - This is my personal favorite opening among all the Slayers series, and brings back good memories for me.
"Viva Namida" - Great stylish and cool visuals and an awesome funky song. Easily the opening best of this year.
"Gurren no Yumiya" - As many gripes as I have about the series and as overexposed as this is, I can't deny it is an adrenaline pumping, cool opening.
"Big-O" - Cheesy as it is, it's always fun to watch and hear.

I'll vote..likely tomorrow morning. Is that ok?

[VLordGTZ]

Same as CX

[Inkwolf]

1. "Viva Namida" (Space Dandy) - Never seen this before. It blew me away with weird wow-ness.
2. "Gurren no Yumiya" (Attack on Titan) Exciting, ultra-modern, high-energy
3. "Get Along" (The Slayers) - Pure fun and classic characters. To be honest, this and Titan tied for my second-place choice. If you need a tie-breaker, feel free to swap those two on me.
4. "Big-O!" (The Big O) - Very stylish and classic, a little static to stand up to the competition.

I'll watch these in a little bit. Give me a 2nd.

Big O - The clear best in this round.
Slayers - I love old school openings so much.
Dandy - Namida! I forget if this is the 1st time I've seen the entire intro
Titan - Meh. This was the first time seeing any animation from the show so I get a clue of what it's about now. I just assumed it featured a bunch of characters that turned into giant monsters.

Results:

1. "Gurren no Yumiya" (Attack on Titan) - 15
2. "Big-O!" (The Big O) - 14
3. "Viva Namida" (Space Dandy) - 16
4. "Get Along" (The Slayers) - 15

"Get Along" and "Gurren" tied. However, Inkwolf said that I could switch them around in his rankings in case of a tie, so I'm going to take him up on that.

"Viva Namida" and "Get Along" move on to round 2.

Round 1: Match 16

1. "Voyage" (Fantastic Children) - http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3znyp_fantastic-children-opening_news
2. "Summer Time Gone" (Detective Conan) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqynK53IsmM
3. "Baka Survivor" (Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcFRExuCLqM
4. "Night of Summer Side" (Kimagure Orange Road) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6Aeijktm_Q

Ooh, another nice set today, with two personal favorites of mine to boot!:

"Night of Summer Side" - Classic. Great song and fast cuts making for a cool, memorable op. Every time I watch this I'm reminded I really need to get back to reading the manga and watch the anime.
"Baka Survivor" - Kickass. A hard call not to put this first. I cannot watch this opening without my adrenaline boiling in some way.
"Summer Time Gone" - Upbeat. Probably my third favorite Conan opening,  mainly because of the song.
"Voyage" - Beautiful. I just barely prefer "Summertime" because it's more upbeat, but this is a good 'un.

I can't believe Big O lost. Pass, another boring round.
