Any chance of a second round of nominations, by the way?  I can't be the only one remembering stuff I wish I had added.

Any chance of a second round of nominations, by the way?  I can't be the only one remembering stuff I wish I had added.

I'm afraid not. I think the competition is large enough already. 

Results:

1. "We Are!" (One Piece) - 18
2. "Never Ending Summer Vacation" (Ranma 1/2) - 13
3. "Astro Boy Theme [english dub version]" (Astro Boy (1980)) - 8
4. "Red Fraction IO Drive Mix" (Black Lagoon: Roberta's Blood Trail) - 11

"We Are!" and "Never Ending Summer Vacation" move on to round 2.

Round 1: Match 25

1. "Abnormalize" (Psycho-Pass) - http://vimeo.com/69839349
2. "Bowl Man" (Hyouge Mono) - http://www.animefreak.tv/watch/hyouge-mono-episode-1-online
3. "V (Volt)" (Pokemon: XY) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2DNaHSD68A
4. "Truth (Great Detective of Love)" (Detective Conan) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cY_VePNdAKE

Oh man, some really awesome openings in this one:

"Bowl Man" - I love this one. I need to watch this show sometime.
"Abnormalize" - It was a tough choice between this and "Bowl Man," but I liked the song of BM better at the end of the day. This is still excellent, though.
"V (Volt)" - Lots of great scenes here. The animation on the scene where Pikachu is fighting Pangoro and Aegislash is excellent.
"Truth (Great Detective of Love)" - Another good Conan opening, but I like the above more.

Pass again.

V (Volt) (Pokemon: XY) Blew me away, and I don't even like Pokemon.
Bowl Man (Hyouge Mono)  Very cool and different
Abnormalize (Psycho-Pass) Fabulous style, somehow failed to totally grab me.  Maybe it was the song.
Truth (Great Detective of Love) Nothing wrong with it, just not as glitzy as the competion.

Half-way done with the first round folks!

"Born to be Free" - So much fun to hear and watch, especially the parts featuring Lum and the gang when they were kids.
"V.I.P." - Just a very fun and exciting opening.
"Child's Prey" - Pretty cool, but it just kinda...peters out at the end.
"Road to Tomorrow" - It started off pretty cool, but kinda lost me in the second half.

[gunswordfist]

Ah sweet, Child's Play. And I have no clue what peters out means. I'll vote in a little bit.

[VLordGTZ]

V.I.P
Born to be Free
Child's Prey
Road to Tomorrow ~Going My Way!!~

[Inkwolf]

These were all kind of 'wow'. I liked them in the order they were actually listed.

1. "V.I.P." (Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic)
2. "Road to Tomorrow ~Going My Way!!~"
3. "Born to be Free" (Urusei Yatsura 3: Remember My Love)
4. "Child's Prey" (Baki the Grappler)


We're only almost halfway?

[gunswordfist]

Child's Prey - One of the coolest opening ever. It flatlines it Japanese counterpart.
Road to Tomorrow
V.I.P.
Born
