naruto is famous in the philippines. one piece is better too but i think that naruto got more exposure sot hat's why. but nowadays, one piece is consistent with it being good. while naruto got worse with its boring theme and corny and annoying fillers.
even the 2nd half of naruto doesnt match up with one piece.i was a big fan of naruto but even when reading the manga, one piece is waaaaaaay better than naruto |

before we start comparing series (bit late but w/e), realise that the shows u watched during your childhood will NEVER seem as cool as they were... watched "Captain N" recently? i have... (which was incidently Matt Hill's first VA job) As for the whoal "DB is teh uber original", keep in mind that Goku (small monkey person with an extending rod) is from an old japanese book (something like 1000 years old?). |

First off you don't have to call people retarded .
Second I need characters that is shown. How bout some villains. Only seen them punch each other wow. I stopped after like 50 or so ep btw so I might not know what I'm talking about :P but what turned me off from that anime was the oogly drawing and the crappy Nakama crap or watever it is. |

2, i just find it idiotic that ppl (mangakas in this case) have to spell everything out for ppl (like... OMG ALOT OF PPL DIED!) 3, case in point, goku isnt an "original" character. so instead of belittling me for a mix up in what area the book came from, take the point of it instead. |

I never really got into one piece. I don't know I thought it wasn't very interesting at first. I also thought it was a bit kiddy and the story was kind of repetitive to me. I also had to get used to the art in One Piece. Ironically even though I didn't like it at first it has grown on me a little.

I used to prefer Naruto to One Piece, because well... Naruto just seemed a lot more serious, without lacking a sense of humor. One Piece, while being very funny at times, seemed awfully divided in its arcs. What I mean by that is that the arcs were really easy to seperate by who the new nakama (well most of the time) and villain was. This was of course most obvious in the beginning, but the lack of recurring antagonists still get to me. In that department, One Piece really only has Smoker, and it'd be almost hard to call him an antagonist. Naruto on the other hand has (imo) a few great recurring villains lending some more continuity and a more complex plot (though not always great) to the series.
Though I very much enjoyed One Piece all the time, it was the Water 7 arc that completely turned me around. I now count myself among the One Piece fans first, and Naruto second. While I read Bleach and sort of enjoy it, it's beyond me how anyone could prefer it to either of the other two. But that's me. Well, I wrote more than I had intended, now everyone's probably going to skip my post. I've not really watched the animes of either of these in a very long time, so I'm only commenting on the mangas. |

Believe it or not, the death thing I've noticed. It only seems to happen in flashbacks. In present time you hardly see anyone die.
Also, the drawings are NOT horrible! Just because they think outside the box doesn't mean they're aweful. In fact, they're the most detailed animations I EVER saw. Just because characters don't look like most normal people do doesn't mean that this isn't creative. I mean, how many people could come up with a homosexual who wears a superball and makeup? I don't know very many. |

[QUOTE=Rezard]Actually none of your examples really died, they were all already dead when history begin, you just find how they died trough flashbacks. There are very few deaths and absolutely none among main or secondary characters.[/QUOTE
Well since this is being compared to Bleach also. No one excepted hollows (who are already dead) dies in that except in flashbacks and about 5 shinigami killed by Mayuri. Which can be compared to the current deaths in One Piece that probably greater in number, such as possibly Nero, Roshio almost definitely, about 100 on Whiskey Peak, and so on. |
