Round 1: Match 8

1. Ranma 1/2 - "Red Shoe Sunday [english dub]" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjwhLsR_Zos
2. Afro Samurai Resurrection - "Number One Samurai" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PA80cW3cQ2M (skip to 1:36:00)
3. Ranma 1/2 - "Platonic Tsuranuite" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMqFOozsUUg
4. Yu Yu Hakusho - "The Sun Will Shine Again" - http://youtu.be/YZIIFEW4bkw

My Picks:

"Red Shoe Sunday" - All of the DoCo songs are great and Viz did a good job dubbing this one. I actually might like their version more than the original.

"The Sun Will Shine Again" - I like the pictures motif used here and the song is excellent.

"Platonic Tsuranuite" - The song is just great in this one, even if the visuals are just a straightforward pan.

"Number One Samurai" - I dig the song, but the lack of visuals past the first minute is unfortunate.

[Spark Of Spirit]

1. Yu Yu Hakusho - "The Sun Will Shine Again" - This is either my second or third favorite YYH ending.
2. Ranma 1/2 - "Platonic Tsuranuite" - Visuals might be plain, but the song is great.
3. Ranma 1/2 - "Red Shoe Sunday [english dub]" - I like both the visuals and the song, but I like the top two songs more.
4. Afro Samurai Resurrection - "Number One Samurai" - No real visuals to speak of. Song is my least favorite of the four.

[Spark Of Spirit]

1. Dragon Ball Z - "Zenkai Power" - So good.
2. Bakuman - "Bakurock" - Visuals are kind of plain, but I really dig the song.
3. Lupin the Third: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine - "Duty Friend" - Like the song, meh on the visuals.
4. Death Note - "Alumina" - Song's good, visuals are good. Neither knock my socks off, however.

This competition has some really good picks. I've been rediscovering some old favorites, too.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Zenkai Power- This one just keeps itself stuck in my head
Alumina- Really good song and matching visuals
Bakurock- Decent song and visuals, but the 2nd ED is way better
Duty Friend- Another good one, but I wouldn't listen to it outside of the show
