Another for 100 Mono Tobira. It's not that great but the intro animation is extremely better than the one of Shoudou.

[kkslider5552000]

Shoudou...


...as long as you guys admit Shoudou is a better song I'll let you live. 

I don't mind the animation as it's actually edited together well, unlike Girigiri.

[Walbuls]

Shoudou

[kyuuketsuki]

Shoudou! SHOUDOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't care about the animation, the song is pure epicness and win.

So again...

SHOUDOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

PS: Besides... I don't like 100 Mono Tobira animation that much... Reminds me too much of the Brady Bunch. And the song is not nearly as good as Shoudou.

There is an alternate sequence for opening 17: Shodou!
FBI vs. The Black Org (425)

I will admit I am partial to the opening of 18 (100 Mono Tobira). Shodou's always makes me think of psychedelic cytoplasm; however, I like Shodou as a standalone song better. And Shodou has the spiffy alternate op... choices, choices.

[Conia]

Shoooooooooooooooudou! 

Spoiler:

I find 100 Mono Toriba animation TOTALLY unrelated to DC, like Koi Wa Thrill,Shock Suspense

[ranger]

Sorry B'z fans I like shodou, but

I'm feeling for some pop right now so, Rina

[bluekaitou1412]

Shodou. Recycled scenes are not crappy compared to GiriGiri.

[Misztina]

Hm... this is indeed a though decision, I pretty much like 100 mono tobira too. Hm... The special opening of Shoudou is great too. Gosh, it is a tie for me this time, I won't vote.

100 Mono Tobira

[Elika12]

Shoudou

is really one of my favs

[ssjup81]

I never cared for the animation sequence for Shoudou, even though I do like the song okay (although, I prefer Girigiri to it for both song and sequence, as B'z was actually in it).  Now the special intro for it was nice, but, since it was just that, a "special" opening, I'm not going to count it since 100 Mono Tobira didn't get the same treatment, and thus, would be unfair to pick based on just that.

As for 100 Mono Tobira, the song has always been okay for me and the sequence is "meh" to me, but I do prefer it to Shoudou's animation sequence.  Maybe it's because of the goofiness of Yamamura or something.

Song wise, I don't prefer one over the other.  Neither song is a favorite and both are songs where I could either take it or leave it, and most of the time, both get left.

I guess 100 Mono Tobira gets it.

[Callid]

Since I don't like Shodou at all I vote for 100 doors.
