DUDE! thats just wrong . you compared possibly the best anime in the world
to op. smh. what has happen to NB. smh. thats like comparing. 1-10. so far apart

Ill give it to you, Unique it is. all them weird faces. and i thought they stopped maken op about 4yrs ago till i saw episode 500 somen. i was like O.OO.O its still going?!

i never read "Naruto" manga. i saw it on toonami. when i was a kid. didnt have a cpu. but i def loved it. cause it was building up

@Mugi, i forgot to quote you., and dont wanna double post,. since your in here. >__< and ill get an infraction. but the fanbase is bigger in bleach. never said the worth. i had this argument with people about 6months ago on fb. OP is worth more then bleach. but the fanbase is bigger. i currently cant look right now for the fanbase. but ummmm. *COUGH* one day

Show me sources that say its bigger. I need proof.
You got no solid proof saying the fanbase is bigger, while I have shown you several sources which back my statements up.

Yours are baseless statements until you show proof.

Also; One Piece has broken many sales records that Dragon Ball didn't in Japan.
Japan is where its all happening, thats the place where people have access to all the animes and mangas.

Take the US for example, Dragon Ball was very popular in the US, same with Naruto and Bleach, while One Piece was completely wrecked by the horrible dubbed version, where the censored out a lot of stuff. (Squirt guns.. wtf..).
I can get you proof it you want.
"While the original Japanese series has gained praise, the 4Kids English dub version has garnered some significant criticism. The Funimation English dubbed version, in contrast to its 4Kids counterpart, has received praise."

"In a review of the second DVD release of 4Kids Entertainment's dub, Todd Douglass, Jr. of DVD talk called its adaptation a "shabby treatment" resulting in an "arguably less enjoyable rendition". Douglass said that the 4Kids original opening was "a crappy rap song" and that the removal of whole scenes leaves a "feeling that something is missing". He later went on to say that "Fans of the 'real' One Piece will want to skip picking [...] up [4Kids Entertainment's One Piece DVDs] until an uncut release is announced", and also stated that "kids may get into this version because it's what they have seen on TV.""

While in Japan, One Piece has topped the sales and viewership shortly after it started coming out. (It started in 1997, people started noticing it around 2000, when the anime started coming out). The popularity and ratings skyrocketed.

"One Piece's 60th volume held the fastest selling record until in February 2011, the manga beat its own record with its 61st volume, selling 2,086,080 copies in 3 days after its official sale (Feb 4–6). this was beaten by One piece's 63rd volume which sold 2,119,400 in 4 days, this means that 14 consequetive volumes of One piece has sold over 2 million copies since oricon began publishing it's book sales in april 2008 (one piece volume 50 shipped in june 2008) . This volume also broke the record for biggest first print that was before hold by One piece's 61st and 62nd volume who had 3.8 million while the 63rd volume had a first print on 3.9 million"

"In a 2008 poll by Oricon, Japanese teenagers elected it the most interesting manga"

One Piece even beat Harry Potter books in terms of sales, and broke the records that the Harry Potter books had. (When selling volumes of One Piece, when a new volume came out, the volume had more sales than the Harry Potter book, and there are like 63 volumes out right now).

no it's way above naruto and bleach option?!?! *sighs*

I watched anime and let me tell you it was awesome, I even sung the openings in a point xd, silly me. It's sooo goooood.

But also, the manga is even better, it has the focus right where you want it. The only difference is that the anime may expand some panels, like when they find, for example, serpent currents.

JUST READ AND WATCH THE ANIME, BOTH!!!

O_O pshh. i sing along to all naruto themes. and ft. op themes are kinda.. bleh.

Never ever do that on One Piece. You are gonna regret it later

I did it,. and thanks to me skippen alot of boring crap im into it. not a big fan thoe

Mugiwara said:
Give me several sites with statistics that show Bleach has more SALES than One Piece.
Viewership =/= Fanbase

I can give you several reasons why One Piece is better than Bleach:

-The sale statistics speak for them selves.
-Bleach has fillers for 6 months, then canon episodes for 3 months and then fillers for 6 months again.
-66% of the series consists of fillers(rough calculation). And those fillers actually suck.
-Very slow progression in terms of the plot.
-Very short manga chapters, more things happen on two pages of One Piece than 17 pages of Bleach.
-Humor sucks in Bleach. I may have chuckled once or twice, but thats it.
-Plot actually sucks.
-The series isn't going anywhere right now, Kubo is just milking it for all its worth.
-Kubo smokes too much pot.
-Series should have ended after Aizen

Cool things about Bleach:
-Nice fights every 100 episodes.
-Nice artstyle

lol. bleach makes you think kinda.
suspense in it. op is transparent. you know whats going to happen next.
Luffy fight the strongest. zoro the 2nd strongest, sanji the 3rd strongest. zoro finishes his off 1st etc etc. and a filler arc is no diffrent then a regular arc. its just not in the manga,. i LOVE bleach fillers. they just pop up out of nowhere. bleach has been serious for awhile so no time for jokes. Op need to make their "Long" chapters more entertaining. and i do agree with the aizen thing they shouldve ended it. but honestly as of now. OP is a disappointment. we waited several months just to see him use "Haiki"??? we waited several months to see zoro use an attack it lookks like hes always using??! when the govt get into op thats when its entertaing other then that. naw

NEVER EVER seen comedy in op???? WTF are you talking about?? that shit makes me laugh out loud all the time. luffy and sanji and chopper.. you are mistaken my friend, look at this, one of my favorites, jus one of MANY

I never had a problem with the art but the way some characters are designed are really ugly to me and don´t make sense at all.
For me, one piece is the kind of series that at 1 arc either it´s really exciting or it´s just boring to the point where it´s not watchable anymore.
I started watching one piece at june and¨right now i´m at thriller bark where my fire got burned out, i´m forcing myself to watch 1 episode every 2-3 days just so i can go through it and get to the next arc.

People complain alot about skypiea but i had no problems with it, it was still good but thriller bark is not watchable.

Thriller Bark not watchable ? :lmao:

you made my day
SPOILERS coming so don't watch

Nightmare Luffy not watchable ? Second and Third Gear together not watchable?

You obviously are 9.

Let me tell you why OP is good.
Because it is ************.
Plot, Character Development, Badassery, you name it, it has it.

It doesn't really matter, read the Manga, watch the Anime, it's all the same if your mind is not open to fill out blank spots that you are required to fill in with Fantasy in order to like it. That is the thing about OP, it makes you wonder about so many things, not like Naruto...all you see is 2-3 Questions popping out constantly.

As stated a million time before, the mere fact that 1 Chapter`s context can be equal to at least even 5 chapters of another Manga, tells so much about the Context.
In OP, you are never going to see that awkward moment where 2 boys teenage boys look at each other, undressing one another before they start going all Ninjutsu on each other's asses.
The plot advances fast, very fast, and you better be ready, because it has a lot of it, and it will have a lot of it till Oda looses his hand.

If you watch OP in Dubs, I will murder your cat and use it's intestines to castrate you.

Bleach makes me wait in suspense? LOL.
Every wednesday: Refreshing 3 sites to see if One Piece is out yet, finally see that One Piece is out, read it 4 times to check if I missed anything(which I usually do, since there is so much stuff in the manga), and then when I'm doing something else, see that Bleach is out, and read it.

I wait in suspense for One Piece. NEVER EVER have I waited in suspense for Bleach.
I used to wait for Naruto, but that was before I started reading One Piece.

You saying that you like Bleach fillers is like, you taking a shit in your hand and start eating it, and trying to convince everyone else that is actually tastes good.
I haven't watched a single Bleach episode in the past 4 months. (or maybe even more, I don't remember when the fillers started).
Hell, I haven't even watched Naruto for almost two months now.

You should see the last episode though. Fillers are over. ( talking about Bleach )

Anduril · Oct 17, 2011

I am currently reading the OP manga and am on Manga 54 i think where sanji joins there crew.....there was nothing substantial upto this until that guy MIHAWK arrived it was fckin awesome....i liked that part....but i still think naruto has a more catchy storyline...

As for bleach it started of like a bazooka...with that rescuing rukia arc.....but the thing that followed sucked real bad especially that bounto and then unnecessary fillars in between the main storyline....Also aizen was kinda dissapointing and the last fight was a total fail...

So as of now i say...

Naruto.
Onepiece.
Bleach.

though drawing wise...

Bleach.
Naruto.
OP.

when has op ever made you think? they just dish it out. which lacks charcter development. Bleach dosent just DISH things out. also. when ichigo learns a new move. it dont look the same as his others. and i wake up at 11 just to read naruto in the war now. after that i think about going to sleep but i read bleach since im a big fan even thoe its rather boring atm. then i think...................i honestly dont want to see luffy fight abunch of boring fish...... >___> should i watch it............ then i find myself clicken on the link anyways. fml. but to sum up how i feel. im def not a hater of OP cause op is a good anime to me. just lacks alot of things in my eyes (Funnyness being one of them. xd) and a transparent arc. do something diffrent. also. im not a fan of backstorys WHICH one piece previuosly did for about 10 whoole chapters and that made me lose interest a little bit more. same thing that happens when naruto does it. bleach is understandable cuz i look foward to some bleach flashbacks. i love all the bad guys in OP. unlike the good guys they are interesting. Whitebeard is the most badass besides Kuma. Hawkeyes is epic i just dont like him cause hes lame in my eyes. but he is a good charcter. so my only argument for you to watch one piece is to get to the seriuos stuff. the

The prison and the war were the best out of OP combined

only when luffy is mad is when you know something is good gonna come out of it. and i dont have no proof as of now. just general knowledge. overall. skip 500 chapters, then u good

i agree
not with bleach thoe
whenever a Govt bad guy comes into play. "Warlords, Admirals"
thats when ish gets good. other then that. BLEH . the last fight with aizen wasnt a fail. it was epic seeing ichigo not caring and pwning him. as for the FINAL attack. that was a fail. and i never saw that arc. i dont watch mangas from the beggining. except fairy tail which is a HUGE exception

excuse me, are you from some alternate universe. So let me get this straight, the alternate universe that you obviously live in, Bleach is actually good and has a character development, and One Piece doesn't?

That some ****ed up alternate reality...

Anyway.. I'm gonna stop wasting my own time trying to convince others how good One Piece is.

i guess everyone has there own opinions.. i liked bleach alot till those mother fuking fillers, jus could never imagine liking it more than op, to each there own. my favorite anime of all time is rurouni kenshin tho, and that isnt nearly as deep as any of these.. so wat do i kno :shrug:.. but if you dont like op Brucewen001, i suggest you try that, even tho its been long finished.. its damn good, especially the show, not the english dubbed tho =//

8thHokage · Oct 17, 2011

an i meant deep as the length of the anime and number of characters etc.. in terms of themes and emotion its deep as shit =). jus wwanted to clarify..

Zazen · Oct 17, 2011

I am very sorry for being forced to click "Must read!just like Naruto, bleach." cuz its way better than "Naruto" and "Bleach". I was a huge "Dragon Ball" fan. I saw it the first time in 97 and ever since i thought its the best anime ever. I watched "One Piece" the first time in 2002 from the beginning till Enis Lobby thats more than 3 and a half years now and I liked it very much, but a couple a months ago i started watching the remaining episodes and I was fascinated it got better and better i watched maybe more than 250 episode for 5 days than I finished the remaining manga for 16 hours.

Mugiwara all your comments turn me so much on that i want to make s*x to them in a cheap motel all night long.

Love Cook · Oct 17, 2011

I think the point has been made by most people here that One Piece is a very good manga. (the best in my opinion) So what that they have a big mouth, so what that they are a bit more cartoonish (Don't agree with that).

I mean what the hell is this discussion about. Do you think it's childish or ugly? So the size of someones mouth determines the quality of the story.

The discussion about the size of the fanbase is really stupid, because clearly the few anti-One Piece posters that piss off the rest here don't have ANY! clue how big One Piece is. Naruto and Bleach don't have the right to stand in the shade of One Piece greatness.

Check the spoiler below to find out what happened in Japan when One Piece sold 200.000.000 copies.

One Piece also Hijacks the subway ! all for oda ~! 200.000.000 COPIES!

Trains decked out in Oda Eiichirou's "ONE PIECE" manga panels made its debut on the Tokyo Yamanote Line on the 17th. All 11 carriages of trains plying the line have "ONE PIECE" plastered all over them, from the exterior to hanging posters within the train itself, as well as all screens. These trains will run for a limited period, until the 1st of March.

As part of the celebratory campaign for "ONE PIECE" selling over 200 million copies, this project is entitled "Gomunote Line" (literally Rubber Hand Line, a on the original Yamanote Line). The first and last carriages have posters of when "ONE PIECE" hijacked Shibuya, Tokyo in early February. The remaining carriages are each dedicated to each member of the Strawhat Pirates and is decorated with them as the theme. The carriages go in the order: Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, Franky and Brook. Publisher Shueisha said, "We'd like fans to be polite when enjoying them."
