I tried reading One piece, I really did. It just didn't catch my interest. I didn't care for the character designs, and the writing was a little to basic and "direct" ( could be a translation problem). The rendering on some of the pages was really good, especially for the style of design, which would be tough to render for. I would have to go with Naruto. I love the charcters, always have, ever since the first chapter. I love the realm, and the way things work, ever since the first chapter. One Piece I read to about chapter 40 and it didn't catch me.

Now before you guys say "at chapter 100 it gets really good" why would I waste all that time reading something i don't care about just to "possibly" be impressed. My feeling is that if it doesn't catch me by two or three chapters I'm not going to keep reading it. So in my defense I gave it 20x more of a fighting chance then I normally give comics and i still didn't care for it. Each of us have a right to our opinion, if you guys like it then good for you, however I don't and good for me.
So there ARE intelligent Narutards out there! I think I have to recalculate my concept of Narutard.

Both are really good, they have two totally different styles, so it isn't really fair to compare them. Most of the time it just depends on if you like ninjas better than pirates.

One piece:

Pros:

Great story and unlike Naruto the author is very consistent, which is a good thing. Not a lot of fillers, and full of interesting characters. Nothing feels rushed, and even the least known character in the show gets more development than some of the main guys in Naruto. Even a damn ship receives more love than guys like Neji and Lee.

Cons:
Horrible drawings (got slightly better), and sometimes the comedy is a miss; some of the main characters are way over the top e.g. Sanji who’s more annoying than funny now. Seriously, you would think he was constantly on his period with all that blood, plus I never thought I would find a dumber main character than Naruto, but I stand corrected.

Atleast you gave it a shot. It's not for everyone :p
But when you have problems catching interest, I tend to watch AMV of some anime or manga I plan on start to read. I might see some awesome stuff in the AMV, and I just start looking forward to that moment in the series when I start reading it :p
That's a good way to check out anime to see if it catches your interest. I've been a comic/manga fan for a long time and I know what I like and what I don't like.

I will take that as acompliment despite the fact you called me a tard.

I pick Naruto, spoilers ahead so don't read unless you have watched a fair amount of both animes.
One Piece is too straight forward so far that I have seen. I'm still watching One Piece and I'm on episode 191 right now, the fights are cool but a bit too straight forward. This guy ate this fruit and that guy ate that one and those are their set powers for whole anime so far, I know that their powers will be stronger in future episodes but the basis is the same, Luffy is a rubber man and he will continue to be one for the next 400 episodes with a few added perks.

In Naruto the characters continually grow, become stronger and learn new jutsu, not only the main characters but all of them, you actually watch them grow. It appears to have more complexity and I like how the whole chakra system, elements and bloodlines are general knowledge to anyone that watches Naruto. Never know what the characters will do and how they will end up winning the battle, well except when Naruto is rasengan spamming its kind of obvious how his fight will turn out sometimes. Although he has shown improvement since he learnt sage mode and fought with pein that was a really unexpected battle.

Also people actually die in Naruto when they screw up, in One Piece no one seems to die, they always survive and come back from the brink of death. In Naruto when the 4th hokage got his ass kicked he actually died, there was no doubt, the village had a funeral and everything and he gave his life to protect the village from Orochimaru. There is actual drama involved.
In One Piece the bird dude in Arabasta carried a bomb up into the sky to save all the soldiers and he blew up with it in his hands but about 4 episodes after you see him good as new with a few bandages on him and crutches and I just thought "what the hell this is such a childish happy ending".

Basically Naruto is more of a dramatic anime/manga that holds some realism to it while being a complete fantasy. People die, all the characters have their own story and then you have this amazing clash between the Naruto and Sasuke fanboys/girls lol. Many more reasons but I'm already rattling on long enough.

One Piece has some good humour, Luffy is more of a dumbass then Naruto which is hard to believe, but as I said he doesn't really develop like the characters in Naruto did. Luffy starts off episode 1 with being a rubber man and here I am at episode 200 and he is still the same and fighting everyone exactly the same way by just charging in with rubber moves. Naruto on the other hand was useless at the start, then he learnt his first techniques such as shadow clones and after moved onto training his chakra, getting a new master, more control over foxes chakra, rasengan, spams his rasengan for a long time and then gets into sage mode and improves on everything makes up new jutsu's and it keeps going still in the manga and this is just ONE character, I haven't even mentioned Sasukes improvements or Sakura's, even the side characters like Neji, Kakashi, Gaara and Shikamaru.
Also not worth watching just for the occasional laugh when I can watch Beelzebub and laugh my ass off 24/7.

My opinion and what I think, justification is there so flaming is futile. Maybe I may have been a bit more lenient towards Naruto but that just shows I like it more. My opinion has a chance of changing if I get to the latest episodes that are apparently so amazing but for the characters to remain the same until episode 200... Very slow development and its not like there are a lot of characters to show either.

cause that shit is totally appropriate for some preschoolers.
Ninjas in orange jumpsuits aren't something for preschoolers, it's very mature.

Don't worry about OP fans calling you a tard (Narutard) lol They don't like your opinion and they will call you names for it -_- "One Piece of sh!*" seems to make them mad xd so if you get jump by one on YouTube or whatever call them that. But only if they are disrespecting your opinion of course.

Tobi is Obito.
Naruto fans call themselves narutards o_o, so its not actually and insult, when we are naruto fans as well, we just like One Piece more.

Sorry for the comparison, but its like a black guy calling another black guy "niggah". when a black guy does it, its not an insult, even if that black guy prefers to hang out with white guys.

I'm talking about the die hard fans that watch nothing but OP. Call them that,and they take everything to a new level. Like calling the die hard Naruto fans "narutard".
As for the comparison (xd) I get it.

And Tobi isn't Obito -_- lol

On NarutoBase, there are no die hard fans of One Piece that choose to only watch One Piece and neglect watching Naruto at all. Every die hard fan of One Piece on NB were once a die hard fan of Naruto, then they started watching One Piece and became die hard fan of One Piece. Doesn't mean that they are no longer fans of Naruto, they are just bigger fans of One Piece.

Yes, Tobi isn't Obito and Naruto isn't better than One Piece.

umad?
