Naruto is amazing. I've already watched all of the original Naruto anime and read all of the original naruto manga, and I'm watching the dubsodes that come out. Shippuden is cool, but I'm not up to date wit hthe anime/manga of that...

Overall, amazing. :O

I guess Naruto is fine, but I find some opinions of it overrated. Sure, it's got pretty fine animation near the later episodes and the voice acting is good, but dragging storylines aren't my thing and the rabid fanbase gets on my nerves. I mean, yeah, it's not bad, but do some people seriously need to get so obsessed over it? It's just incessant fighting and an endless onslaught of powers, techniques, angst and bishonen. Tell me the day it all ends with something worthwhile, and maybe I'll give it another chance. God help us if it runs on into 600+ episodes and there'll still be some fans going rabid over it.
..Please don't impale me over this if you really do want it to run into 600 episodes; it's just what I think.

I don't think the weapons are really intended to hit. They are to confuse, intimidate, repel enemy weapons, and throw your opponent off balance (except for Tenten, she actually intends to hit with them).

Not really my kind of show tbh, not to mention the fanatical devotion of some people that ruin the show for others.

Is it also just me, or does every Shonen Jump Manga series seem to go on for ages? Evident by the tons of Yu-Gi-Oh! graphic novels that line the bookshelf.

LIES, LIES, FILTHY LIES.

One Piece is light-hearted fun, doesn't fall into the cliches Naruto does, and the true shounen successor to Dragonball.
<Bangs head on desk.>

You've got a Huckleberry Finn wannabe kid with the powers of Mr. Fantastic, an emo swordsman, as well as a hillbilly pirate voiced by a Don Knotts soundalike, all to the theme of being pirates looking for a treasure called One Piece (which is probably at the end of La-Mulana's Hell Temple). You don't get much more cliche than that.

Second, if One Piece is supposed to be the 'true' successor to Dragonball, then Anime has officially hit rock bottom, and we've now entered the Great Cartoon Crash of 2008 (and should probably stop watching Anime). One Piece has no connections to Dragonball, outside of cute talking animal mascots and long drawn out flashbacks.


If anything, Naruto is more of a successor to Dragonball (or a ripoff of Goku if you will), but that's not saying much. You've got the orange outfit (like Goku's Budokai outfit), and you've got the red chakra (kind of like the Kaiyoken) AND you've got the Fox Demon (kind of like the giant ape). The only things we need now are flight and a Super Saiyan-esque transformation. Wow, that's scary...
If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you will never get it done.

In one piece, the objective always stays the same, not when you have to keep doing different missions. They have to go to different places and go into many dangers, while fighting strong leaders. not only that, but they can stretch out a certain series without screwing it all up. Naruto just takes place in a hidden village where you do missions to get your rank up or get stronger.One piece has great jokes and can repeat them without looking repetetive(to me at least), while naruto's only jokes involve sticking fingers into someones behind and launching them 10 feet in the air.
But honestly, you should respect his opinion, because its only opinion. It isn't fact, wasn't fact, and will never be fact, because everyone has to agree with him to be fact.
i think one piece is better, but thats my opinion.
but nothing is dragon ball's successor unless it is really successful and is closely related to dragon ball.
that means it needs a transforming kid, a weak army, and a giant dragon that grants your wish.

I can sum it up into one word: FAIL.
However, someone managed to make it win: Epic Naruto Fandub

I can say that I've heard crap about it all over the internet. From the fans being referred to as "Narutards" especially the ones who wear the headbands to the ones who refuse to admit it isn't a great series.

I honestly haven't watched it. Ninja's bore me. I rather watch Lucky Star.
