Quick reminder that tomorrow is the last day of the first half of Round 2. Tomorrow night (remember I'm PST), CowCow will lock the threads, and I will post the second half. If there is anyone you want to see continue, please remember to vote!

So you're not on atm but since at about 3 AM my time it'll be 5 days since you posted those I'll lock them then. (so about 3 hours from now) Unless you come on and state otherwise.

A couple of stunning upsets here, to be certain.

 

The second half of Round 2 goes up in a few hours, because I am in much need of sleep.

NOW MEETING OUR TOP 8 CONTENDERS!

3-1: Sorairo Days beat Rain 7/4.

3-2: Tank! narrowly beat Absolute Soul 6/5.

3-3: Guns & Roses narrowly beat The Other Side of the Wall 6/5.

3-4: Sirius beat BURN 6/3.

3-5: This Game beat My Dearest 7/5.

3-6: Uragiri no Yuuyake beat Hacking to the Gate 8/3.

3-7: Mob Choir 99 beat gravityWall in a 5/4 coin toss.

3-8: Daze beat Database in a 6/5 coin toss.

 

After I take my shower and CowCow locks the threads, here's the Round 4 matchups:

4-1: Tank! v. Mob Choir 99

4-2: Daze v. This Game

4-3: Guns & Roses v. Sorairo Days

4-4: Uragiri no Yuuyake v. Sirius

 

I DIDN'T EXPECT TO GET THIS FAR. ONE OF MY SUGGESTIONS IS IN THE TOP 8.

 

Ahem.

I'd also appreciate the people who suggested the top 8 contenders to offer opinions on the matchups, speak in favor of the OPs, etc.

 

For me, Sirius always felt like the stronger of the two KlK openings. It carries some minor foreshadowing of the show to come, has a good few really good dynamic shots, and sets up a show that is a train of chaotic awesome with an introduction to the faces you'll be watching get distorted in all manner of ways, without just relying on paper doll outfit switches that I honestly disliked about the first half of ambiguous (the other opening). Plus, the song still gets me pumped to this day, and I've saved it onto my phone as the ringtone for the friend who introduced me to the show in the first place. I don't expect it to win against the amazing first Durarara!! OP, but I do hope it gives Uragiri no Yuuyake a solid run for its money.

4-2: Daze beat This Game 5/3.

While we wait for CowCow to lock those threads, let's roll those semifinal bouts:

5-1: Uragiri no Yuuyake v. Daze

5-2: Tank! v. Guns & Roses

 

(Holy sheet, the final is going to be Baccano! v. Durarara!!)

Now that this is over, I feel like we should hold off on holding any more new tourneys. I know that some sort of YMB should be coming at some point in the near future and we don't want to impede it.

 

Not to mention we already have two more sticked for planning.

 

Anyway, glad to see my nomination won! Not that it matters, but it totally does. :D

Yep yep, since there's two (three if you count the Pokemon one which I've decided not to) so only one more tournament can happen at this time which may already be taken. If nothing is said by next month feel free though.

 

Annnyway, hoped it'd be DRRR but this is a really satisfying finish either way.

 

Gonna lock that thread and unpin this one now.
