🔥 Anime Tournament – Final Four 🔥
Yesterday's winner was...
Dragon Ball!!!
Every choice now feels like a betrayal.
Today’s matchup:⚙️ Fullmetal Alchemist vs 📓 Death Note
Two titans of anime storytelling. Two very different visions of power, morality and consequence.
⚙️ Fullmetal Alchemist
(鋼の錬金術師)
Often held up as the gold standard of anime storytelling.
Fullmetal Alchemist weaves action, philosophy, politics and emotion into a narrative that feels complete, purposeful, and deeply human.
Why it belongs in the Final:
  • Exceptionally tight writing and world-building
  • Mature themes: war, loss, responsibility, and sacrifice
  • A cast where heroes and villains alike feel fully realised
  • A story that rewards reflection and rewatching
This is anime that respects its audience and grows with them.
📓 Death Note
(デスノート)
A single supernatural object turns into the most dangerous weapon imaginable.
Death Note is a relentless psychological duel that transforms justice into obsession and intellect into warfare.
Why it earned its Final Four spot:
  • One of the most iconic concepts in anime history
  • Constant tension driven by mind games, not power levels
  • Characters that defined an era of anime fandom
  • A story that still sparks debate years later
This is anime that challenges you to pick a side—and question it.
