Round 1: Match 29

1. "Out of Control" (Psycho-Pass) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irqFRZqptWg
2. "We Are! (remix)" (One Piece) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFM_zypYFHM
3. "Front Breaking" (Slayers Evolution-R) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2muc7M3v90
4. "Battlecry" (Samurai Champloo) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OuRajFzMYI

And another tough one...:

"Out of Control" - One of my favorites. A very visually stylish opening.
"Battlecry" - Great, rather soothing but still funky music and some beautiful visuals.
"We Are! (remix)" - A tenth anniversary and remixed opening done right.
"Front Breaking" - Lots of good stuff here, especially in the beginning with all the previous antagonists appearing before Lina, but I've never quite liked the song.

[gunswordfist]

Ah, Battlecry. I'll vote soon enough.

Here's a new link for Psycho-pass, since that account seems to have been closed.

Same as CX.  I thought Slayers was going to be better than One-Piece at first, but after the great beginning it pretty much sagged. Didn't care for the music for Champloo, but the visuals were wow.

[LumRanmaYasha]

Awp! Thanks for the heads up, Inkwolf. I've replaced the link.

[The Shadow Gentleman]

We Are! (remix)

Battlecry - I love this beat. At first I didn't like this OP due to my expectations being so high after Tank! but now it's so addictive to me.
We Are! - An upbeat, fun opening! The song was kind of catchy as well.
Psycho-Pass - I love the visuals. I don't care for the song though.
Slayers - It took too long to get anyway and when it did, it didn't really go anywhere.

[VLordGTZ]

Out of Control
Battlecry
Front Breaking
We Are! (remix)

[LumRanmaYasha]

Results:

1. "Out of Control" (Psycho-Pass) - 16
2. "We Are! (remix)" (One Piece) - 16
3. "Front Breaking" (Slayers Evolution-R) - 9
4. "Battlecry" (Samurai Champloo) - 19

"Out of Control" and "We Are!" are tied. You guys know the drill. Someone either needs to vote or change their rankings in order for us to move on.

Thanks, Rynnec.

"Out of Control" and "Battlecry" move on to round 2.

Round 1: Match 30

1. "Try Again" (Detective Conan) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crUCmro_HNg
2. "JoJo (Sono Chi no Sadame)" - (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4to1-4vaTU0
3.  "Mafushigi Adventure (FUNimation version)" (Dragon Ball) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BT1Dp69D7q0
4. "Mutual Love Is Complex (Live)" (Ranma 1/2) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx1vByDrDvs


Aw yeah, this is an awesome match:

"Mafushigi Adventure" - A classic, and one of FUNi's best dubbed openings (I even prefer it to the original).
"Sono Chi no Sadame" - Just absolutely incredible. It's one entire continuous sequence for the most part, highlighting some of the most iconic bits of part 1, and mixing in a bunch of other stylish visuals and a whole lot of Dio hype. I love it.
"Mutual Love Is Complex" - The opening is better when you know what the characters are singing, but even without them there's so much energy to the song and the animation that it's such a treat to watch.
"Try Again" - Solid Conan op, but I like the above more.
