I'd better pass.  All I could think as I watched them was "Oh, God, not ANOTHER FMA/One Piece OP!" (I'm about full up on Pokemon and Conan, too.)

If you need a tiebreaker, I will vote.

Round 1: Match 33

1. "Freedom" (Yu-gi-oh 5Ds) - http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xt00vt_opening-3-yu-gi-oh-5d-s_shortfilms
2. "Kuusou Rumba" (Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBkEVuElJcw
3. "Moonlight Densetsu" (Sailor Moon) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kg-McDlm_98
4. "Cutie Honey" (Cutie Honey Flash) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMTAhKNTCnw


Two classic magical girl openings in one round!  :D

"Moonlight Densetsu" - The iconic opening theme of Sailor Moon. The first version is my favorite because I think it has the most interesting visuals (though, all the versions are pretty creative). I wish Crystal was using this as it's OP song.
"Cutie Honey" - My second favorite rendition of the iconic "Cuite Honey" theme.
"Kuusou Rumba" - Pretty crazy stuff. I like!
"Freedom" - This one was...alright. Nothing really stuck with me, though.

Same as CX. 

At first I thought the impressive surreal artistic style of Kuusou Rumba would put it in second place, but then Cutie Honey just had SO much flash...

Round 1: Match 34

1. "Theme from Lupin III '79" (Lupin III Part 2) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VibM9LRopnE
2. "to the beginning" (Fate/Zero) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFn9eGJPa0o
3. "Just Between Us" (Princess Jellyfish) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJoeGEEu5L4
4. "Taiyou Wa Yoru Mo Kagayaku" (Hunter X Hunter 1999) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAflk4baHWE


Another great match today:

""Theme from Lupin III '79" - The Lupin theme is one of my favorite anime themes ever, as is any version of the series 2 opening.
"Just Between Us" - Yes, FUNimation, I can spot all the references! A highly creative, wonderful opening.
"Taiyou Wa Yoru Mo Kagayaku" - Very fitting for the mood of the York New City arc.
"to the beginning" - Good, but not as potent for me as the above three.

Here's a new link for Fate/Stay Zero: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFn9eGJPa0o

Ah, man, no fair...these are all too awesome!  So hard to choose....

1. "Just Between Us" (Princess Jellyfish) - 'Cause I like cute and funny and Star Wars references. ^^
2. "to the beginning" (Fate/Zero) - Awesome
3. "Taiyou Wa Yoru Mo Kagayaku" - Also awesome
4. "Theme from Lupin III '79" (Lupin III Part 2) Awesome, too, but something has to be last!  :'(

It's a pity we can't just pass all four to the next round.
