Round 2: Match 20

1. "We Go!" (One Piece) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx-VHkO9nVg
2. "Girls on Film" (Speed Grapher) -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bT1IgtsCsQ
3. "Departure (version 1) (Hunter X Hunter 2011) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1YHr_CUiJ8
4. "Biggest Dreamer" (Digimon: Tamers) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tj0wSg_GQvg


My Picks:

"We Go!" - "We Are" for the new world.
"Girls on Film" - Cool english song and stylish visuals.
"Biggest Dreamer" - Badass opening for the best Digimon series.
"Departure (version 1)" - This is sure to be an unpopular opinion, but my favorite version of this opening was the one used for the Greed Island arc. That had the most interesting, best-timed cuts of any of the versions, imo.
