So I was debating my friend a while ago about which series was better ---> one piece or naruto. And I basically mentioned that out of everyone who watch/read both series, most of them will say that one piece Is better based on my observations. However he disagreed with this statement.

Do you guys think that my statement was true or was I off a bit?

Not really. Naruto isn't as good as it once was.

it depends on personal preference.!!

I only read Naruto manga, I don't really feel like reading any other manga as well.!!

but in case of anime, I like one piece better than Naruto.!!
still I have to say, OP is so very slow paced...its frustrating.!!

Remember there is a thing called "opinion".

Some people Love the story of Naruto and its characters and others like to follow the adventures of Luffy in the world of One piece.

Well, the statement you made that everyone whom watches/reads the naruto series and one piece prefers op than to naruto is just a matter of preference/opinion, but to make your statement true you would have to have done surveys and/or polls about this and had statistics to back up that statement "most people perfer OP than to Naruto", but whether it is "better" is just that preference/opinion

Remember there is a thing called "opinion".

Opinion dude,opinion!

Naruto shits on One piece~my opinion.

One piece sales(300 million/345 m) shits on Naruto(126m/314m) in JAPAN~FACT!

Naruto's sales(188m/314) shits on One piece's(45m/345m) outside JAPAN~FACT!

But does sales matter? no shit it doesn't. Anyway Naruto is ranked 1st or 2nd in world's most popular manga compared to One piece which is at 7th or 9th,i remember,see animenewsnetwork,myanimelist. Also in every manga/anime website,you'll find the most popular manga/anime list based on their members vote,and NARUTO remains on top.

So what I am saying is,the answer is "YES & NO" both. If you're in japan then yes one piece rules in both cases,but if u r outside japan then no,as it's naruto which is ruling the 1st pos. for a decade.

And besides bro,don't get TNJ by your friend,see it works in real life Lol,so easily and believe what you consider right 'til proven otherwise.

People confuse the majority rule and opinion. Majority rule applies when different opinions clash... in this case I would say I prefer One Piece rather than Naruto. One Piece manga is a summary of the anime they don't change the manga that much when they create the anime. In Naruto we get flashbacks and a lot of them, fillers that can be tolerated if they were not revealed.

Just think of naruto Shipuuden when they made fillers between Pain arc and Kage Summit arc. There were like 35 episodes that were fillers. Just me thinking about it is hell because it was almost a year that we saw Sasuke vs Danzo in anime. Now One Piece doesn't do filler arcs or flashbacks that much compared to Naruto. So I agree with the Original Poster people who watch One Piece and Naruto when they identify which manga/anime is better, the majority chooses One Piece than naruto.

yes in the manga community at large One Piece is usually regarded as far superior to Naruto

But does sales matter? no shit it doesn't. Anyway Naruto is ranked 1st or 2nd in world's most popular manga compared to One piece which is at 7th or 9th,i remember,see animenewsnetwork,myanimelist. Also in every manga/anime website,you'll find the most popular manga/anime list based on their members vote,and NARUTO remains on top.

1. If an average non-Japan manga fan knew as many and as much about manga as an average Japan manga fan there is no way in hell Naruto would be first

2. On my.animel!st One Piece is ranked 6th and Naruto somewhere over 500

Alright, since people don't ****ing get this and One Piece gets so much unneeded hatred. Why do you get frustrated by the art? It's not even bad and in fact suits the setting of the story. It's also something new, it may lack the complexity which something Naruto, D.Gray Man, Death Note and few other shounen artistic styles may possess but it's very unique, now it's always up to you whether you like it or hate it but that is its unique selling point. Also, judging a series by its art which should pay only 20% of the entire judgment process honestly baffles me. What about the story? Exemplary. Characters? Exquisite. Sound? Nothing short of great. Enjoyment? I enjoyed it. Alot.

Now, onto the next point. Naruto better than One Piece? Yea right. One Piece may not have had the best of starts, I admit. It was slow and pretty damn boring. But what kind of morons judge a show by about 20 odd episodes? Oh yea, people on here do. If you can keep that opinion having started the Arlong Arc, then sure whatever. But when you reach Alabasta, things really start to get intense and upon reaching Enies Lobby, Water 7, you should get the drift of One Piece, it really begins to blossom. Let me tell you something. There is no arc even comparable in Naruto to the Marineford arc in One Piece, but people wouldn't know unfortunately since they drop it early and without hesitation which is silly to say the least in my opinion, but each to their own.

Naruto was a great series otherwise I wouldn't be on this site. But currently, it has been quite a letdown thanks to poor writing from Kishimoto. He really lacks consistency, especially during the drawn out War Arc. If this were the beginning of the manga, I'd say it's definitely up there as one of the better shounen but whatever, you people need to decide what's good and what's bad right? Who am I to force it upon you.

They are both good. But here's how I see it.

Naruto - better anime and fights
OP - better manga and story

Lml, Its not only the art one piece characters are also just not as epic, even Kishi's underused characters such as the Akatsuki have more complexity then half of the more prominent figures in OP

Why do you need the characters to be complex as you say? I can see Dio Brando (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure character) having no real motives to commit evil yet he's one of the most iconic anime villains of all time and remains probably one of the most straightforward and epic characters I have ever seen. Complexity is not always necessary especially when the premise of the show remains so simple and straightforward.

Alright but the Naruto premise is not so simple and straight-forward as OP's shitty plot (imo)

Anyways when i say complex i don't simply mean their motives for committing evil acts but merely they're not the generic type of villains found in OP, arrogant ass holes who are rather selfish U_U Which is a great villainous traight however its not unique

The akatsuki consist of so much personality and different characters that its ****ing great and they are all villains, had they been given more screen time Naruto surly would of been so much better, and def better then OP U_U Although it already is imo

Lawl these never ending, obdurate, audacious one piss vs narduturd threads are back in action and thirsty for more!

Alright, this part. Only.

Well I wouldn't consider all One piece villains as completely generic as you say, most of the Villians like akainu who we do not know, well his motives and whatnot, his malevolent and sadistic nature and his actions are quite abditive and leaves the audience from wanting more, since he hasn't appeared yet after the TS which has left us curious (only as a silhouette I believe >_>) Just like ceaser clown, Doflamingo etc. These Villians are not simplistic like who just come in AND HURR BURN IT DOWN *****es RAWR, they are rather complex and virtually share a deep and complex meaning behind their motives. Which I certainly do not find generic. Also, doffy is pretty badassery nonetheless.

And moreover characters like shanks, dragon and vega punk are very mysterious, leaving the viewers themselves pretty curious on their objectives and such. Now that does not seem generic.
