Last time, in the last faceoff of the second round, 345 triumphed over 516-517. This time, in this first contest of the quarterfinals, we have my sig against my avatar:

Episode 11: Moonlight Sonata Murder Case

vs

Episode 176: Meeting with the Black Organization Again (Haibara Part)
Episode 177: Meeting with the Black Organization Again (Conan Part)
Episode 178: Meeting with the Black Organization Again (Resolution)


For info on the current bracket/past and future contests, go to the info thread

edit: Forgot to put this in the OP, but there's a new tiebreak procedure- if the voting ends in a tie, whichever episode got more posts in favor wins. If both have the same number of posts, then the tiebreak will revert to the original arcane procedure I thought of.

This is a tough one, probably the toughest of the contest so far for me. 176-178 is probably the best the entire series has to offer in terms in terms of sustained gripping action; it's tight, intense, and moves quite quickly, unlike certain other *cough 345/Clash cough* BO episodes; as usual there are a few logical inconsistencies, but they aren't particularly egregious.

Moonlight Sonata, though is in a class of its own. It's just so... ridiculously good... (not a very imaginative phrasing, I know). The case is very good and does a great job of setting the tone for the first 60 episodes or so. It was after watching this episode (technically, episodes, as I watched the dub) that I became truly hooked on the series. The power of nostalgia compels me to vote for it.

voted sonata.

It seems we're just the more vocal ones though, because the BO episode's winning D:

176-178.

Moonlight has MUCH more nostalgia for me. However, my nostalgia can go f**k itself.
