@hazzack
I just looked it up actually, and it turns out that it stands for "Hottie of the Day", which actually sounds like a good idea for a General Forum Thread, so I'm gonna go make one now.
@Richman
Sorry, but it's not the ED. If it was allowed, I'd vote for the ED over any submission (including my own ones) twice per round, and then once more for good measure.
Kinda late, but funny how @justforthelulz had time to repost the same meme in 3 different Kissmanga threads, but procrastinated to vote until the last minute...
Thought Super Driver would have a hard time, but it ended with a dominated defeat instead. Surprise, surprise...
Another AC track out? OP, did you count lazydude's vote, too?
@Mr_Detective
If by lazydude you mean justforthelulz, then yeah I counted his votes. It broke two ties as well as tied up Ramen Fighter vs. Shaman King, which EOTFOFYL broke by voting for Ramen Fighter.
The only Assassination Classroom track I would say is upper tier is Bye Bye Yesterday, but idk if it will get past Colors in the 4th quadrant.
Kids on the Slope OP - Sakamichi no Melody vs. Vinland Saga OP2 - Dark Crow The opening to Sakamichi no Apollon is great, I won't deny it. Good song. Great visual composition. It checks the boxes. But Vinland Saga's OP has something that "Sakamichi no Melody" will never have: the high impact rock of MAN WITH A MISSION's "Dark Crow" and the silky smooth action sakuga of WIT Studios. Both come together brilliantly to create the superior OP. *Mic Drops in Viking*
Amagi Brilliant Park OP - Extra Magic Hour vs. Tales of Zestiria the X OP - Kaze no Uta While KyoAni knocked this one out of the park in the animation department, and the accompanying song is amazing, it just…………ah who am I kidding. I enjoy FLOW's "Kaze no Uta" greatly, and ufotable nailed the animation as well as KyoAni did by comparison (in my opinion at least). I honestly thought this would be easy, boy was I wrong. Literally the only think that COULD have pushed the X off the block was the presence of Tales of Berseria characters, but that's only because I never watched the show to see where they fit in, as the games are (to my knowledge) completely disconnected from each other, which would naturally be quite off-putting without context, but that's not enough to justify the knockout in my opinion. As such, this is my "abstain match-up". Who'd have expected that?
Cowboy Bebop - Tank! vs. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kira OP - Happy! Lucky! Dochy! Because classics will be classics and this one is just one of those "it will never die" types that will be eternally enjoyed by viewers of the medium. No need to really think about this one too much.
Tesagure! Bukatsumono OP - Stand Up!!!! vs. Black Cat OP - Daia no Hana I love the shear "Memey-ness" of "Stand Up!!!!". I was rolling on the floor when I first watched it from the submissions thread, but it has (A LOT) less impact on the second run through, so it would end up being one of those VERY FEW openings that I would skip without hesitation. However, I still was able to appreciate the pure meme quality, but, at least for me, it's one of those "you get the joke and let it die kinda things". Black Cat's OP by comparison is much more…"composed" I guess? It just feels more "solid" if that makes sense. Also, hit the climax of "Daia no Hana" and I got straight CHILLS up and down my spine it was so good. It hit ALL the right chords. Definitely a song that I would listen to for hours.
TL;DR Black Cat Wins
The Saga of Tanya the Evil OP - JINGO JUNGLE vs. Assassination Classroom OP2 - Jiriki Hongan Revolution I feel a bit guilty about it, JINGO JUNGLE is an amazing piece of *ahem* "Pre-WWII Surrender of Germany" Rock as I affectionately describe it as, but shameless self-voting must continue for the sake of continuity.
You all should know the word, but I won't say it for fear of offending the wrong mod
Nadia: Secret of Blue Water OP - Blue Water vs. SoulTaker OP - Soultaker Not much to say except that someone should keep JAM Project in the game at least a little longer. Also it's just more my style.
Highschool of the Dead OP - HIGHSCHOOL OF THE DEAD vs. Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works 2nd Season OP - Brave Shine No contest. One of Kisida Kyodan and the Akeboshi Rockets' best songs by far, and let's be real here, you go to both shows for the girls, and we all know which ones are better designed. The ones who's tits have individual physics engines that break almost every episode in the most entertaining way possible.
Gleipnir OP - Altern-ate- vs. Noragami Aragoto OP - Kyouran Hey Kids!! I can't believe it, but I'm giving this one to Gleipnir. Noragami Aragoto has one hell of an opening, from the monochromatic stylization, to The Oral Cigarettes kicking the whole thing into overdrive almost immediately, it's an amazing piece of media. However, Gleipnir's OP is a real dark horse of an opening. It came in like nobody's business and left me speechless and gasping for breath. From the amazing music choice, to the outstanding visual composition, and the way it all comes together is just fantastic!
That's it for Phase 3! I know that I was a bit vague at times, but art is hard to be objective over in general. It's just par for the course really. Anyway, I'll see you guys in Phase 4!

Anyway this got me thinking, since these guys assume that the boobs are at constant velocity, which is obviously not true since they have to accelerate to go back and forth.
So i re-did the math, assuming the boobs act as a simple harmonic oscillator, and that the boobs complete 1 complete oscillation as the bullet passes:
Thats a peak velocity of 2.7km/s, or nearly Mach 8 (over twice the speed of an SR-71 Blackbird)
This, aswell as a peak acceleration of 4.6 *million* G's. If that acceleration was constant it would reach the speed of light in 6.5 seconds (well, ignoring relativity)
Anyway yeh, please check my math, i'm pretty rusty but this seems right. I did get a much lower frequency than previously calculated of 2730Hz (which sounds like this http://szynalski.com/tone#2730 )
