[Discussion] Could the Naruto manga be the best japanese manga of all time?

[Owl]

I mean, come on almost everything in Naruto is based on Japanese tradition. Literally, the clothes, the people, the clans, the legends, the beasts, the villages, pretty much almost everything. There are a lot of story references to Japanese mythology and Japanese rivalry in history. But how come it's not considered the top manga of all time?
1) Art is great
2) Characters are great
3) Story is unique

I know it's like, number... 6 on the outdated list, which is outrageous... But I think Japanese people should take recognition on a anime that is heavily inspired on their culture. I guess they find pirates more interesting...

It's one of the best, DBZ is #1 though. =D

One Piece surpassed Dragon Ball by like, 100 million...
Dafuq is going on with Japan? I think the two most popular in the history of man-kind is Naruto and Dragon Ball Z though.

 

[magus zeal]

nope
/thread

 

[Fodder#5]

Nope. 20th Century Boys wins that distinction

 

[Ōkami]

One piece is.

 

[Sir Blades]

of all time? it would definitely be top 5.

Oh, I don't really follow One Piece anymore so I didn't know. I agree with you though, DBZ and Naruto seem to be the most known.

 

[Biju Mode]

#1 for sure..dbz was cool an all but the story is lame by comparision

 

[rollin]

Maybe
Let's wait til its finished

 

[hixa kuogame]

people seem to like one peice better in japan but that information was discovered a while ago i think people like naruto more now

 

[Rokudaime Hokage Naruto]

DBZ is the classic.

 

[Oksus]

1. DBZ, nothing will ever beat it
2. Naruto
3. Attack on Titan

Those are the only 3 mangas/animes I was able to get into, so they are obviously top 3 for me !

 

[Sexy Jutsu]

This is a Naruto forum, so people won't say anything... but if you were to say Naruto was the top manga anywhere else, people would flame the hell out of you lol.

You should try One Piece and Bleach at least. They are just as good as Naruto.

 

[sagemode07]

I would say it is my favorite but everyone has different opinions. There is no undisputed best manga of all time.

 

[theRPGdude]

I agree One Piece is the best!

Best Longest Running Anime by Sales:

Dragon Ball
One Piece
Kochira (I... I'm confused but I'm interested.)
Naruto
and Slam Dunk..


Bleach is number 6.<< lol mad?

I think that list is good enough though.

Naruto and Dragonball are totally the most known though.

 

[Ōkami]

I would say it is my favorite but everyone has different opinions. There is no undisputed best manga of all time.

Have a group of over 200 manga artist vote for a top 20.

Art is great
Characters great but not developed
story is unique but not developed

japanese like detailed storytelling. kishi's work misses the mark.

good manga? definitely yes
best manga? hell, no
