Round 3: Match 3

1. "Love (Loyalty)" (Excel Saga) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5dMVj2e870
2. "Aoi Hana" (Casshern Sins) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaizpaMWJ5Q
3. "Coppelia's Casket" (Noir) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ch8QLdBiDqI
4. "Alone Again (Naturally)" (Maison Ikkoku) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH_572d1XA4

My Picks:

"Alone Again (Naturally)" - I love the song song and the images. Really wish they used this one for more episodes.
"Love (Loyalty)" - Fits the tone of both the anime and manga excellently.
"Coppelia's Casket" - Great images and atmosphere.
"Aoi Hana" - Great song, and while there is little actual animation in it, it's an effective opening that fits the show all the same.
