[DVDAR] Closing Theme Quarter Finals D Block Final, Cowboy Bebop Movie v. Rurouni Kenshin Options

[Rev Ray]

OK, we're now at the Quarter Finals. Polls will be open for 48 hours. If there is a draw, we go to a 24 hour overtime. If it's still tied after that, it's then sudden death for another 24 hours where if I see one vote making the difference in the match, I close it and the one in the lead advances. If at the end of double overtime we don't have a winner, they're both eliminated.

This time out it's the movie for of Cowboy Bebop as while chasing down a bounty on Mars, the Bebop crew stumbles upon a terrorist who plots to launch an attack during Halloween on Mars against Kenshin Himura, a samurai who during the turmoil during the end of the Meiji area was known as the manslayer, he now wanders through a Japan that has changed in many ways and carries a reverse blade sword.

This was easier than I thought. Kanno trumps Takanori easily. Damn, I really like 'Heart Of Sword' but c'mon, 'Gotta Knock A Little Harder' is a damn fine piece of song.
