With so many great anime series out there, it's time we settled the score once and for all. I'm calling all fans to join me in the Ultimate Anime Tournament to decide which series will reign supreme.

Here's the deal:

1. Each week, we'll have matchups between series
2. You vote for your favorite in each matchup
3. We discuss why our picks deserve to win
4. Rinse and repeat until we crown the ultimate champion

To kick things off, here are the first round matchups:

Attack on Titan vs Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Death Note vs Code Geass
My Hero Academia vs Demon Slayer
Naruto vs One Piece

Let's make this tournament fun and respectful. Share your thoughts and may the best series win!

Choosing between Attack on Titan and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood feels like picking a favorite child, but I've got to give it to FMA: Brotherhood on this one. Its depth in character development and storytelling just hits differently, not to mention the impeccable world-building and the satisfying conclusion. Both are masterpieces, but FMA:B edges out for me because of its perfect blend of action, drama, and philosophy.

Choosing between Attack on Titan and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is tough, but my vote has to go to Attack on Titan. The way it builds its world and constantly evolves its story is just mind-blowing. Plus, the way it handles themes of freedom, oppression, and the moral ambiguity of its characters adds so many layers to the narrative. AOT doesn't just entertain; it makes you think and question, which is a rare feat.

FMA: Brotherhood takes the cake for me between the two. Its storytelling and character depth are unparalleled. The way it weaves themes of sacrifice, morality, and the quest for truth throughout the series is nothing short of brilliant. Not to downplay AoT's genius and its gripping narrative, but FMA: Brotherhood just resonates on a different level emotionally and philosophically. Plus, that ending - satisfying on so many levels!

Oh man, this is like the Sophie's Choice of anime for me! But diving into the Attack on Titan vs Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood debate, both are absolutely stellar in their rights, but I'm leaning towards Attack on Titan here. The intensity, the suspense, and the way it keeps you on the edge of your seat is unmatched. The character development, especially with Eren, really showcases a compelling narrative of growth and transformation. AOT just grabs you and doesn't let go until you've felt a full spectrum of emotions.

Jumping into the Death Note vs Code Geass debate - both have their unique charms but I'm siding with Code Geass. Don't get me wrong, the psychological depth in Death Note is groundbreaking, but the strategic mastery and moral complexities in Code Geass just have that extra edge for me. Lelouch's journey, filled with ambition and sacrifice, not only challenges your mind but tugs on your emotions in a way few anime can. Plus, the ending is one of the most satisfying conclusions in anime history, hands down.

Jumping into this Naruto vs One Piece discussion and it's honestly such a tough call! Though both have incredible world-building and memorable characters, for me, Naruto edges out just slightly. The emotional depth throughout Naruto's journey, his relentless determination, and the beautifully developed themes of friendship, pain, and redemption really resonate with me. Plus, the battles are both strategic and thrilling, making it unforgettable.

Torn between My Hero Academia and Demon Slayer, both have a special place in my heart. But, Demon Slayer wins for me. The animation quality alone is breathtaking - Ufotable really went above and beyond. Add to that the intense, emotional story arcs and Tanjiro’s journey to save Nezuko, it's mesmerizing. MHA is fantastic with its portrayal of heroism and villains, but Demon Slayer's blend of action, heartfelt moments, and traditional Japanese aesthetics is a masterpiece.
