Indeed it does!!! Akira toriyama's masterpieces made the Shonen era what it is today as well as other cartoons. I loved DBZ as a kid and I still have no problem watching it today. Quote:

I watch both Naruto and Bleach, and was always interested in One Piece.
Why have I never watched it? I don't know - It attracts me that the main character is named Luffy, which I think is a hilarious name, and I heard it was very funny and different and had a humor as good as Trigun - but... at the same time, when I watch a long series I like it to be serious and have characters I like and think is cool when developed.. its one of the reasons why I have also never given InuYasha a chance which is also a long series. or DBZ for the matter. Also, Naruto has tooooooons of great AMVs and all sorts of stuff. that are people that live and breath it, and with One Piece fans the most you ever hear from the outside is how much 4kids suck. I dont know... I sort of want to see the show, but im afraid I would get dissapointed... |

While One Piece is very humoruos, the storyline and characters are great... Some moments in the anime can get very dramatic and can be very moving... Some moments i dare say are the most emotional scenes you'll ever see out of a shonen Just remember, because it starts out slow, One Piece is an anime that you need to give it a little time before you judge it... I'd say that's not really till the Arlong arc (ep 30 or so) does it start getting good... after rouge town and a filler arc, it only goes up from there My only complaint about One Piece is how Oda never seems willing to kill off a character... character death makes for some great drama, but character revival after supposed death only kills said drama (Like Chouji and Neji in Naruto, or DBZ)... though i do admire how Oda still manages to make a lot of emotional scenes without killing someone off... |

You know whats hillarious? I was at a convention and I cosplayed as Luffy. I met Angela and KOTOKO to get autographs and both of them knew who I was cosplaying as. I'VE's was like Kore wa Luffy desu ne? I was like sou..KAIZOKU DAN!! KOTOKO's dancers were pointing at me going....One Piece ka? I was like damn... Whats worse was there was a Naruto beside me and noone said anything to the Naruto Cosplayer. But I guess thats because its been out longer in Japan.

Even without all the fillers, One Piece is far superior to Bleach and Naruto. This is coming from an ex-Naruto fanboy too. As opposed to Naruto, even the most ordinary character is unique in One Piece. The depth found in the plot of One Piece is also atypical for a shounen manga.

My sentiments exactly DBZ is the ultimate anime rush. I got all my cousins, a few of my friends, and even my sisters to start watching DBZ. And I think it's very evident that a lot of the characters were inspired and the entire series itself was inspired by DBZ. Both Oda and Kishimoto have expressed the influence DBZ has had on their respective shows, and even though I like One Piece it has not surpassed DBZ, I don't think anything has. The closes show to surpassing DBZ in my mind is Naruto. One Piece is less popular than Bleach and Naruto for many reasons but I think the biggest reason is the different more "cartoony" style of animation that is used on the show. Not only that but at first glance the show seems kind of silly, and people aren't willing to look past the silliness to see that show is very deep, the best way I could describe One Piece is a 100% adrenaline rush. And those who do not like One Piece obviously has never seen Luffy fight before, because when it comes time to fight this is the #1 BADASS SHOW ON EARTH!!!! |

The only place One Piece is less popular than Naruto and Bleach is on this forum (And that's because the episodes are lagging in the sub world)...In Japan One Piece is way more popular than those 2 shows...Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but isn't One Piece in like the number 1 time slot on primetime Sunday Nights in Japan?? I also here it's ratings blows everything else on at the same time out of the water...I know I read somewhere it's the most popular anime in Japan in terms of consistent veiwership...

I did the same thing with the Naruto DVD's, and I'm starting on the One Piece DVD's, or at least I would if those assholes would ever send it in. Trust me if you have an entire collection of your favorite show you won't be able to stop watching until your finished. (and then regret it later because you now have nothing to do)

One Piece is more a mainstream anime than Naruto & Bleach.
Both Naruto & Bleach are more for audience between the age of 12~18, One Piece is more open for all ages, not to mention "strange", which is the reason attracting more audience. Detective Conan is the nearest to One Piece in Japan's TV Rankings, both series feature strange un-expected fantasy characters and events. In fact, One Piece has audience rating from 10~13 (2002~2006) in Japan, currently it's the 4th in the Japanese Audience Rating's Anime lists. |

One Piece comedy miles ahead of Naruto comedy. When Naruto is supposed to be funny most of the time it feels more awkward than funny, and it's like someone has to give you a little reminder that you're supposed to laugh...
One Piece on the other hand, for me with all the whacky ness and the dry and often sarcastic comedy is hilarious to me. I know it's a matter of taste, but the comedy in Naruto feels like it's written by a guy who couldn't crack a good joke if his life depended on it. Even the little Q/A bits in the end of the manga where Japanese kids can ask Oda a question are often funny. Oda just has a much better sense of humor if you ask me. One Piece creativity miles ahead of naruto, just look at the insanely large amount of unique characters, different environments, vibrant countries, island etc... Compared to this almost all of the stages of where Naruto plays out are as bland as Dragonball Z open fields and forests. It feels like the One Piece world is a whole huge fleshed out universe, and it's still far from done! The art style might not be your cup of tea, but at least One Piece dares to be different, unlike the super standard anime style naruto and bleach use which we see in 100.000 other shows too. One Piece has a refreshing style that might be closer to western animation, but it's very very fitting and makes the world come alive. One Piece animation art and animation: Matter of taste when it comes to art, but as stated above, I prefer One Piece. As for animation quality, I'd say if you watched both, it's pretty clear, One Piece has a much higher average animation quality. In Naruto it drops from good to horrible way too often. Storytelling, if anyone has seen both and still needs explanation why One Piece is not 1, not 2, but 3 leagues above Naruto in terms of storytelling quality... The storytelling while Oda is often inspired by existing legends, folklore, history, and pop culture references, he gives his own spin on it and creates a marvelous romantic (not love romantic you dumbasses!) world. In Naruto it seems it's mostly bloody annoying angst and just running after sasuke and orochimaru and hyping all kinds of strong enemies just to have them defeated like it were nothing. There's barely any real storytelling. Unless you count the million references to "that jutsu" trying to make the reader extremely curious on what kind of party trick we'll see next month's issue or episode if we're lucky. One Piece just gives a lot of people the great sense of adventure, laughs and wondering what kind of awesome new vibrant world or characters Oda has waiting for us next. Stuff that isn't like mostly the same as we've seen before!  What does Naruto put up against it? A whole lot of useless cannon fodder enemies and few really fleshed out memorable characters. Loads of enemies who just all seem to be somewhat the same in motivation as well as backstory, lots of cockyness, and then they die. This is somewhat true for One Piece too, but at least there's more diversity to the characters, they stand out on their own more, and they have more vallue to the plot, be it to the story, comedy vallue or what not. I can probably think of a number of different reasons, realize I’ve seen both shows and read both mangas, although naruto is just painful to read. And I have not watched the fillers at all when it comes to Naruto. Last edited by Zico; 2006-07-22 at 11:23. |

What Zico said. And really, no filler from an anime has pained me more than that of Naruto filler. One long, pointless filler arc was enough to kill off the idea of continuing to watch the anime. Still reading the manga, as somewhat painful it comes to be at times.
