Same as CX.

To be honest, BoBo is the only one that I kind of liked in this match. The FMA opening is easily my least favorite one from that series, and I don't care for the other 2 opening themes either.

The Shadow Gentleman


VLordGTZ


Rynnec

Same as listed.

I love all 4 of these OP's.

Rain- Probably my favorite anime opening from the best anime series ever. Or at least the song is probably the best.
Hellsing - this reminds me that I need to watch more than like 2 episodes of the show. Have no clue why I neglected this and Ultimate. Will check Neflix and CR.
Murder Princess- What an amazing name for a show.
Bobo- Loved the DBZ nod.

Actually, I really liked all these. It was hard to choose between them....

1. "Rain" (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)
2. "Wild Challenger" (Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo)
3.  "A World without Logos" (Hellsing)
4. "Hikari Sashou" (Murder Princess)


DEFENSE!! DEFENSE!!___OFFENSE!! OFFENSE!!

Also, after CX hopefully does an ED tournament (my tournament will likely be over before this one), I'd like to do an anime music tournament.

Sounds good to me.  :)

Results:

1. "A World without Logos" (Hellsing) - 17
2. "Hikari Sashou" (Murder Princess) - 10
3. "Wild Challenger" (Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo) - 22
4. "Rain" (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood) - 21

"Wild Challenger" and "Rain" move on to round 2.

Round 1: Match 48

1. "Ambigious" (Kill la Kill) - http://www.crunchyroll.com/kill-la-kill/episode-17-tell-me-why-649561
2. "Love Seeker (Can't Stop It)" (Ranma 1/2) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oeq3xzUtKsM
3. "Cherry Moon de Odarasete" (Dominion Tank Police) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRzqjOyeSNc
4. "Colours" (Code Geass) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dYjJ3kOGoY


My Picks:

"Colours" - The song and visuals are pretty strong here. I don't like the show, but this is a good opening.
"Love Seeker (Can't Stop It)" - I love the use of shapes and perspective.
"Cherry Moon de Odarasete" - I love the usage of color in this one.
"Ambiguous" - My favorite part is the sequence where it shows off the characters and their various costume changes throughout the show.

I hope it works out that way. :)

Also, pass.

The Shadow Gentleman

Colours - The music is the only really good thing about this show
Love Seeker (Can't Stop It)
Ambiguous - The KlK openings never really did anything for me.

Round 1: Match 49

1. "Hikari E" (One Piece (FUNimation version)) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy1U431QFY0
2. "One Day" (One Piece) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sH4N3t2mP4
3. "Cutie Honey" (Re: Cutie Honey) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0rMFj_LFxY
4. "Revive" (Detective Conan) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC3H2_zaFbA


My Picks:

"Revive" - My favorite Conan opening. Great music and I love the callbacks to the "Desperate Revival" arc.
"Cutie Honey" - I could have done without some of the more fanservice-y parts, but the visuals are still kickass and I can't say no to this rendition of the iconic theme.
"One Day" - A very fitting opening for the Marineford arc.
"Hikari E" - Vic Mignogna's rendition of the song is awesome. I've got fond memories of this one from when FUNi eps of OP started airing on Toonami back in '07.

Hikari E- I love the FUNi rendition of this song
Cutie Honey- Colorful and vibrant animation mixed with a catchy song
Revive- It has a nice beat to it
One Day- Meh, kind of an average One Piece opening, and a really lazy and unexciting way of representing the drama and action of the greatest story arc in the series (and one of the best in any shounen; and I don't say that lightly)
