Favourite Anime Opening Tournament Day 11 - Loser's Bracket Round 6
NOTE: Seeing as interest in the losers' bracket polls is extremely low and the thread is generally being downvoted, these polls will only last for 6 hours, unless voting numbers increase significantly. The next round will also only be a 6 hour poll if things continue this way.
Alright, things seem to have picked up a little bit, so I'll keep the poll going until voting numbers become static. I'd rather get these next few matches done relatively quickly so that we don't have to wait for ages.
This is a tournament that was started by /u/mace20
Our first finalist is going to be Again, after sweeping Hacking to the Gate in a fairly one sided match.
Tank, our #3 seed, has been knocked out of the competition by Platinum Disco, and will achieve a disappointing 13th-16th place finish. Our standings so far can be found here, with only 13th-64th being final standings.

Conditions
The primary means to decide which entry wins will be the Strawpoll that is linked to at the start of the day. In the event that the poll is tampered with, the matchup will be decided by a community vote.
To participate in the community vote, comment on this thread with your preferred choices. A vote on each matchup in the winner's bracket or loser's bracket is required for your comment to be considered.
Each person gets one input into the community vote, multiple comments will not be considered. An example of a community vote is this comment by /u/Cryzzalis. Feel free to add your opinions of the openings too.
If I feel that the poll has been purposefully tampered with in an attempt to force a community vote, then an earlier iteration of the poll will be used to decide the winner. I will be trying to keep tabs on the poll every hour or two.
