The Greatest Anime Opening Ever Tournament

[LumRanmaYasha]

3. "Missing Link" (Tiger & Bunny) - Disgust at the rampant product placement kind of tempered my appreciation of the coolness.

In-show the characters are commercial-super heroes. Like, say, professional athletes, they are like paid employees in a larger organization and have sponsors to earn extra cash in exchange for promotion. The product-placement is supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek kind of thing.

Anyway, results:

1. "Love For You" (Detective Conan) - 6
2. "Space Pirate Captain Harlock" (Space Pirate Captain Harlock) - 15
3. "Missing Link" (Tiger & Bunny) - 11
4. "Galaxy Bang! Bang!" (Galaxy Angel) - 8

"Space Pirate Captain Harlock" and "Missing Link" move on to round 2.

Round 1: Match 45

1. "Yellow Vacation" (Pani Poni Dash!) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8oc5tRCVKY
2. "Re-Sublimity" (Kannazuki no Miko) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SK-xJC__2U
3. "Bloody Stream" (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7gleFCWLAQ
4. "Gun's and Roses" (Baccano!) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUjqlVt6y2A


Aw yeah, three of my favorites in this one:

"Bloody Stream" - Best anime opening ever (next to Duvet).
"Gun's and Roses" - Jazz-tastic.
"Yellow Vacation" - Cool sounding, cool looking.
"Re-Sublimity" - Good beat.

"Bloody Stream" - Wow--10 out of 10 for style, song pretty good, too.
"Gun's and Roses" - So cool and full of stylin' gangster-era zing!
"Re-Sublimity" - I really like it, just not quite up to the 'wow' factor of the top two.
"Yellow Vacation" - Interesting visually, seemed to me a little lacking in life.

Ooh, two Ikkoku openings in one round!

"Alone Again (Naturally)" - I love everything about this opening.
"Hidamari" - I love the song and the middle part where the characters do that silly dance.
"Full of Memories" - Solid Ranma opening.
"Twinkle Trick" - The parts with those three girls in the recording booth are cute.
