One Piece art > Naruto art in a lot of departments tbh. The important characters from One Piece look much more menacing than your average Naruto villain.

Dude hell no One Pice art is crap compared to Naruto's art.

You kidding me? Like really, are you kidding me? All I have to say is, they all look dysfunctional af, all of their heads look super out of proportion, and none of them look even remotely realistic. Don't ever compare its art to that of Narutos. Don't know how one piece has succeeded at all, and hopefully it soon fails.

What do you mean by art? There are many things to look at when it comes to manga. Not just how normal a character looks or realistic one looks.

Most people simply say "Naruto characters look more normal" lol.

There are action scenes
Backgrounds
detail
emotions
shading
transitions
character designs
fluidity
etc.

One Piece and Naruto both have very unique and distinct art. Completely different styles. Oda IMO excels at drawing some jaw dropping Panels which Kishimoto lacks. Kishi has better fight choreography although during the latter stages of the war his art really started to suffer.

Late part 1 Naruto art can be considered superior to Kishi's war arc art.

Er you might want to check the faces in there...:p

Different art style. Personal tastes. I like that Naruto pages aren't cluttered with unnecessary details. But Naruto art is detailed when needed and at times amazing. You might want to check the rain village or Konoha's view from top and the likes and many battle details.

No one will confuse Hinata, Temari, Sakura Tenten , Ino to be the same. They have different faces not just different clothing and hairstyle. In Naruto I can see the mood and nature of characters via their stance and expression and without detailed words or elaborate display of emotional for several panels.

In OP it takes several of them to convey the same and to draw more attention to it as the manga surfs on the emotional rise more than the story.

Agree with the bold. Everything else is subjective. It's mostly the monthly mangas which can keep up with the elaborate manga details drawn nicly as well as the story. Otherwise, people compare any bad page of the most rushed art from one manga to a detailed page of another so comparing manga arts this way is silly.

War arc especially last 1/15 year of it was drawn with severe time constraint. Last date of the manga was fixed by WSJ and the last chapter needed to be coloured and unexpected break like Kishi's father death didn't help much. It was rushed at times but not that bad.

OP is known for awesome moments rather than battle details while Naruto's battles are more fleshed out and detailed. So the actions and fluidity part Naruto does better.

But as for art style itself- OP art grows on one with time- you get used to it. He also went though art evolution phase and started them more pleasing to eye body shapes. Still it's not without problems if you are going to compare pages like that- then what about the recent drawing when Sanji apeared again after such a long time. He was drawn so weird I almost didn't recognize him till I checked the context.

There are several panels when Law, Luffy and Zoro all have same face and same for Nami and other girls. If you look only at the face they all start to look similar, especially when a lot of action is going on. So ...

It's too bad for you though, as One Piece has 10+ more years left - meaning there is room for much more development, while Naruto is over and had a very shitty ending.
One Piece has also been in the top three of manga sales in Japan for a good while.

I wonder which series actually did fail? :rolleyes:

No one ever had to tell anyone to give Naruto a try for 300 chapters to wait till it gets good and hooks you. :|

Naruto had a good run and ending was fine. It's simply impossible to please everyone who have their heart set on their own personal characters and personal endings for them. Same goes for OP it goes with it's highs and lows. Ennis Lobby and marine ford arc were it's highlight and loved by a majority. But there are many other arcs which some people like and some don't. Many arc gets dragged in the middle and milked till it starts getting jarring before it backs up for a spectacular finish. The Punk Hazard's monster turned out to be dud. And Dressrosa felt like a repeat of Alabasta for far too long just on more grand scale. Unless you are in a nerdy fan mode you can't even keep up with all the characters nor you feel attached with them that much once the arc is over. It's more like people read it because of habit and wait for the awesome moments.

Same as fisherman Island, that was a drag too. But you're right.

Look what they did with Dragonball Z, when they tried to make GT, ewwww. Shaman king didn't even follow the Manga in the end, same as hitman reborn. I think Naruto's ending was fine, but then how do you make an epic ended when its had such epic moments throughout the entire manga, lee in the chuunin exams, Jiraiya's death, Naruto vs pein.

Didn't read this thread, just saw your post, thought i'd reply xd

Yep. ...Naruto's journey to his goal was more epic than his simple dream of being a Hokage in the end. Naruto has memorable characters the kind one becomes attached to.

Well, I spent most of my time reading/watching Naruto just so I can see how the story would progress and mainly end. The progression towards the midway of the war arc and the ending were both terrible to me, and the ending was rushed like hell, all because Kishi wanted to end off on a pretty even number. He got lazy and knew what everyone wanted - Naruto vs. Sasuke, but he was running out of time "apparently" so he just gave us a bunch of crap with the Kaguya nonsense, and Sasuke's dumb resolve that wasn't going to happen anyway so why bother?

Many people read One Piece for the different adventures and new people along the way, as well as partial development for the SH's. It's not just Luffy who is getting all the spotlight. He may be the one who eventually defeats the final villains of that arc, but there are other characters who have their battles as well. Oda likes to give everyone development, and he also knows how to give his characters depth when he needs to. Robin, Sanji, Franky Brook...etc..

In Dressrosa, we got to see many people doing their thing, like Franky and Senior Pink, the Tontotta soldiers, the members of the Doffy family, Cavendish, as well as huge development for Law and Doffy history. It wasn't just luffy doing everything or it wasn't just about Luffy.

If this was an arc in the story of Naruto, Naruto would be the only person doing anything, and I don't think many people like reading a story when only 1 person is receiving handouts and powerups while everyone else is left in the dust like a bunch of fodders, and that's exactly how the 4th ninja war was. Naruto and Sasuke were doing everything while everyone else was sitting in the background watching like a bunch of children. This is why you shouldn't make your characters too strong because it messes up the power level of the characters and then you have no choice but to make everyone else irrelevant.
That's why Madara was killed in such a stupid way. Kishi didn't even know how to beat him so he pulled this Kaguya crap and defeated him that way.


In One Piece, It's not just 1 or 2 people getting asspull powerups and soloing everyone.

Oda knows how to take care of his characters. Kishi only cares about Naruto and Sasuke, while leaving everyone else is in the background looking at the pretty fireworks.

The only thing I'll give to you is that Naruto characters are easier to stick to and remember.

Not gonna get into this Naruto vs. One Piece thing anyway.
I like One Piece while you don't..

IIRC Naruto is number 3 best selling manga so how did Naruto fail

OT- Lmao the only reason people are saying Naruto>OP in Art is because Narutos art is easier to understand while in OP you need to carefully analyze everything. But overrall OP art is>Naruto. Just read the Dressrosa arc or any other arc if you want proof

Lmao, did Buggy just casually run past Konoha's gates infront of the new team 7?

The Royal Shichibukai is about to wreck some s***. :cool:

Is this it or is there more?

PS. The hype is real in One Piece right now. Just saying.

Not saying Naruto failed completely, but compared to One Piece, Naruto has nothing on manga sales.

One Piece sales range from 18 million to 30 million each year while Naruto can barely hang onto 2 million.

I believe Attack on Titan and Kuroko no Basuke beat Naruto in sales a couple times.

And I believe that Naruto is top 3 when it comes to most popular manga. I doubt it's top 3 in best selling.

P.S. Both Naruto and One Piece excel in terms of art, they are both unique and have their perks. While Naruto's art is more realistic and beautiful, One Piece art is always full of life, meaning there are rarely any white or black spaces in the background, there's always something going on. The amount of time Oda spends on his panels is admirable, and another good thing about it is that it's always consistent, you never see him slacking.

In Japan yes. But not that high number of reader over the internet and abroad ( Source: Interview between Oda and Kishi)and certainly not that man successful communities to talk about it only as for Naruto.

Not that sales is everything- Second highest sale on Viz was Doaremon.

Naruto sells around 1/3 of OP per volume in Japan and Assassination Classroom,The Seven Deadly Sins and Tokyo Ghoul were also beating it in yearly sales

Funnier part is Tokyo Ghoul was awarded best completed manga of 2014 over Naruto lml

Japan is literally the only place sales matter, tbh.
