So in the end, Naruto failed to surpass DBZ

[Natsu Shazneel]

If one is to look at popularity. They would choose DBZ. If one was to look at the overall show. Than Naruto has far surpassed DBZ. Here's a idea to some of you fans. Try judging the series on the standards you judge todays anime. Than tell me what series is better?

 

[Harsh srivastava]

naruto cannot surpass dbz nor one piece can but they themselves are on far decent level

 

[Gold Lightning]

When a regular person in the states think anime, the first thing that comes to mind is Naruto, not DBZ for most.

A lot of people don't even realise DBZ was anime. Because most of us were kids and this showed on Cartoon Network and toonami at one point, a lot of kids just grew up thinking it was a badass cartoon.

 

[~Ethereal~]

In terms of popularity DBZ shits on OP and Naruto. In terms of better anime, OP, Naruto and then DBZ.

 

[Young Vongola]

Nothing is going to be as iconic as DBZ internationally.

 

[King Kendrick]

Spoken like true losers.

Before the end of Naruto was announced, Naruto fans were sure it would be the number one anime/manga of all time.

Now that the ending is so close, they're like "does it matter who's on top?"

I think you take anime to seriously . like who cares ?

 

[SageOfTheTenPaths]

All thanks to Kishi ****ing up his own manga, due to being a lackie for the producers. Sad sad guy this Kishi.

 

[Vapid]

It had the potential to, but failed terribly in the end, due to Kishi being a god awful mangaka as of recent.

Nowadays, it will likely go down in history like Death Note -- amazing at the start, shitty at the end.

In short: In the end, yes, Naruto failed to surpass DBZ... by a long shot.

I was never a fan of DBZ, never read it only watched some dozen or 2 of episodes occasionally, so i dont care.

As a fan of naruto manga i dont care about other mangas, it's so simple, sales and popularities aside as it comes down to taste.

 

[Intuitive Mode Naruto]

One piece will not even reach populairity like that

I am personally a huge one piece fan but I don't think there are enough fans for it to go that far

Well One Piece already surpassed DBZ in sales.

One piece surpasses dbz
But naruto and bleach are same level as dbz , i think

 

[Shruikan]

Do you think Naruto will be remembered as iconic as DBZ 15 years from now? Lol

That answers the question you posted

 

[grizzlyshree]

narut ois beeteer than op imo its legendary!

 

[Shruikan]

One Piece has such slow pacing that I have no patience to read it because my hair will turn white before it ends

Naruto did surpass DBZ, in terms of emotions....

Don't forget pairing wars.

Oh yes can't forget those.

Naruto main rivalry build up > DBZ main rivalry build up.

 

[Madara Uzumaki Uchiha]

DbZ was a great action manga.

However, after frieza saga it's villains sucked, characters sucked, and plot went to shit.

Powerlevels were nonsense-

It's funny how people put dbz on such a pedestal since db > dbz

Frieza is a galactic emperor, but some random scientist on a backwater planet ( that doesnot even have space travel ) can create cyborgs that dwarf him in power?? GTFO

Seriosly, slap the nostalgia out of yourselves- if dbz manga was written in comparison to the standards people have now it wouldnot sell.

Don't you find it weird that barely anybody had read the manga? If it's so great people would read it. Most people know dbz through the anime, barely anyone has read the original source. Why? Because there are many, many superior manga.
