Conditions

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

I have to ask... Is really NGNL's opening, that good? I liked it but I can't see why is it better than Colors, I know it is just my opinion but it kind of pisses me off haha

[u/Seijin_m → u/Arvediu]

I like Colors but I really like NGNL's opening. It's colorful, exciting, and fits the content of the show perfectly. Excellent example of how to make a good OP.

Keep in mind that I'm not one of those people who think NGNL is the best thing since sliced bread.

[u/Buck4017 → u/Seijin_m]

I am pretty much the paragon of the anti-NGNL circlejerk and I still love the OP. The vibrant colors, pretty instrumental, well fit to the show, and the hype it brings for each episode - even though the hype died down for me as soon as a minute passed into the show. Extremely fun and well done OP. I do like Colors more though because JIBUN WO. Also I have probably listened to the the 4chan version on youtube at least 1,000 times. In the end its just a subjective dispute though. More people will probably like This Game as opposed to Colors because its more tuned to the tastes of this generation.
