Ready Steady Go disappointed me. The BanG Dream mobile game has a cover of RSG that I've probably heard hundreds of times. This was my first time hearing the original, and it simply did not match up to the energy of that cover, imo. I also liked the song in Kiri a lot more.

Second match was another easy vote. Wild Side is unique and creative in addition to being genuinely good. I'm also not a fan of using real life pictures in anime, which is like 90% of that other ED. It always feels lazy.

I don't really like either OP in the first match and rather than dwell on why I'll just leave it at that.

Match 2 is the match of great songs with visual styles I don't care at all for. Wild Side kind of fits thematically though so I think it gets the edge here.

Also definitely agree on the Bang Dream cover of Ready Steady Go being much better.

harsh day, hope these two can pull off wins here

(also disheartened that people are so negative on the irl photograph approach to ride on shooting star, i always thought it was cool how they showcased an actual vespa)

It's tempting to linger in this moment, while every possibility still exists. But unless collapsed by an observer, they will never be more than possibilities.

Kiri
Ride On Shooting Star

I know nothing about Ergo Proxy, and feel like I know less after watching its OP, but it's stylish. As for Ready Steady Go, it's, uh, a classic, by which I mean that it comes off as painfully generic. The second match is quite close, I like the style of both of these OPs, more neutral on the songs. Feels like the FLCL ED would get me more interested though, not sure why I feel the Beastars OP doesn't quite deliver.

Ready Steady Go!
Wild Side

Of course Match 2 ends up being a battle of the inventive OPs/EDs, brutal Round 1 match. Of course I have to give it to Wild Side as I'm a sucker for what they did there and so cute, although it's funny both songs end up having stop motion incorporated in. While I can respect if it loses to The Pillows, I'll still be very upset if it goes out Round 1 and I'll lay into you all lol

Ready Steady Go!
Wild Side

In the first match I think the Ergo Proxy OP is just like as a package thematically better, but the actual track for Ready Steady Go just erases that advantage.

As for the second one, it's pretty close. But I think Wild Side is probably a top 100 OP of all time and it's hard to compete with that. And if you think 100 is a lot OPs, I mean yeah because we get like 100 every year now.

RSG is one of my favorite anime themes of all time. kiri is... whatever.

ride on a shooting star is pretty fun and probably the best part of FLCL as a series, but it's only okay overall. i'd never seen wild side before but it is incredible.

Kiri
Wild Side

Strongest day of the contest thus far. I like all four songs quite a bit. Kiri is my favorite OP for my favorite anime of all time, so that's kinda hard to beat. It's also in my top 10 songs in general, it does everything right for me. Wild Side is some great jazz, and Ready Steady Go! is a lot of fun too.

Kiri (Ergo Proxy)
Ride On, Shooting Star (FLCL)

Kiri sent to die against unleaded Toonami nostalgia-- fantastic. I love both of these songs immensely. The Beastars track is pretty fun, though that's precisely why I can't vote for it, here. I found Beastars to be a pretty miserable experience, with somehow worse predator/prey allegory than Zootopia-- just felt duped when the show wasn't anywhere near as fun as its OP.

do not care enough to vote for the first game but the second one is unfortunately a top 5 anime OP of all time vs. a top 5 anime ED of all time. bruuutal
