This week, we have ZARD vs. ZARD. (Kind of reminds me of Spy vs. Spy... I loved that comic..)
* Note: Each showing of the Glorious Mind opening was different, so I've just chosen to link to the first one.
Which ZARD opening will it be?
(Click

Edit: Wow! In a huge landslide victory, Ai wa Kurayami wins!!

Ai wa Kurayami no Naka de!!!
A real BO opening, with a cool song, it was great. ^^
Glorious Mind is so-so.

Op 22 is probably one of ZARD's better songs. I'm usually pretty indifferent towards their music, but I liked that one. The animation was pretty nice also.

For the record, another situations where I always liked both songs.
I actually couldn't for the life of me remember the opening sequence. to Glorious Mind, but the song I remembered. After watching, it came back and then remembered how the opening did vary depending on the episode.
As for Ai wa Kurayami no Naka de, I remembered that well enough. That's the one getting my vote. Great sequence and I loved all of the BO stuff along with Rena and Eisuke.

I think they overdid the Izumi Sakai tributes around this time. Sad she died, but would she really be happy about them releasing demo quality music (ie Glorious Mind imo)? I liked Ai wa Kurayami no Naka de, though.

Wow, I just read the wikipedia article on Izumi Sakai. I didn't know she had died, nor that the Glorious Mind Ops where a tribute to her. It's sad that she passed away at such a young age.

Glorious Mind is brilliant all things considered but Ai wa Kurayami no Naka de is one of the greatest OPs ever.

I really like both, but with Ai wa Kurayami no Naka de on the list ... it is my choice. Not only the music, but the video is also great.
