The Greatest Anime Opening Ever Tournament

How do you know they are boring if you haven't watched them yet?

That's what she said.

More tough choices this round....

1. "Voyage" (Fantastic Children) - One of my favorite OPs. Great song, nice visuals, totally catches the bittersweet mood of the show.
2. "Night of Summer Side" (Kimagure Orange Road) - Classic in every way
3. "Summer Time Gone" (Detective Conan) - Peppy and fun
4. "Baka Survivor" (Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo)  - I did like it, but the song did nothing for me...I much prefer the Season 1 op.

Round 1: Match 17

1. "Ghost Sweeper" (Ghost Sweeper Mikami) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EloWc8_L5CY
2. "JAP" (Sengoku Basara) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdSTI3Vnyhk
3. "H.T." (Trigun) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzHe4U5c5Oc
4. "Unlimited" (Samurai 7) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTnQJ---Ods

Another great match today, with two more favorites of mine in this one as well:

"H.T." - Badass. An opening that totally glorifies Vash the Stampede as it rightfully should.
"Ghost Sweeper" - Classic. Great, fitting lyrics and excellent animation.
"Unlimited" - Great visuals and song.
"JAP" - The animation and visuals here are excellent, but the song loses me about a third of the way in.

H.T. ....Hmm, I'll vote later. I need to see it again since I've only seen it like once on a tape.

1. "Ghost Sweeper" (Ghost Sweeper Mikami) (The old-skoolness gave this one a slight edge)
2. "JAP" (Sengoku Basara)  Thought it was fun to watch all the way through
3. "H.T." (Trigun) Hmmm, IMO would be better without so many scenes of just Vash looking badass.
4. "Unlimited" (Samurai 7) Not bad, just a little outclassed by the others.

GSF, are you still planing to vote on this match?

[gunswordfist]

Sorry. I probably won't vote in time so go ahead without me.

[gunswordfist]

H.T. - Very cool. Good to see it again after all those years because I just remember the very beginning with Vash walking all badass. I also like the bit of comedy with the sandwich in it.
Basara - Lmao @ dancing samurai. I love it!
Ghost Sweeper - Old school style of opening, which I love but it's a bit typical. I did like the unexpected comedy though.
Samurai 7 - Pretty cool opening.

This was a good round.
