I agree with this post...why would we bicker about what is better and what is worse, everyone is entitled to opinion, even if that opinion can anger many people.I don't really understand these types of threads for a few reasons.
A) Everyone has their own opinion about different series. Personally I really like Bleach, Naruto, and Fairy Tail. I do read OP but I don't get upset if it is an hiatus or whatever.
B) Mugiwara quoting statistics doesn't really help anyone form an opinion even with that its still an opinion. The reason I say that is think of it like this by your logic Jersey Shore is a better TV series than oh let's say Breaking Bad just because the ratings are higher. But that is wrong because their target audiences are different.
C) Most of these threads are just started by people trolling and people who haven't actually read the manga or watched the anime like this guy obviously doesn't with FT or OP.
D) Finally does it really matter which one is better to everyone else. I know right now is a good time to be a fan of manga with Naruto, Bleach, Fairy Tail, and even One Piece.
If i say I hate OP and it's garbage does that mean my opinion is not relevant?
But i do agree that making assumption after reading 1 chapter is kinda hasty...but if the manga isn't good for you after reading 30 chapters why would you read more?...Make sense to put your time to read something that is more enjoyable for you.
As my opinion goes: I saw most of the these. I started with Naruto and for a long time it was my most favourite but....it's became kind of uninteresting for me, don't know the reason.
Second was Bleach and from the first moment i loved it ans i still do, i even think Fullbring arc that everyone hates was good.
Then One Piece...it was funny, serious too but mostly funny (haven't catch up to present parts) plot...can't comment on that.
Fairty Tail...i read around 80 chapters and saw maybe 15 episodes and not to sound hating but it was lame, didn't have anything what the other three had.
To conclusion i read manga and watch anime because of characters and however strong-willed Naruto is, however epic Luffy is ... nothing is more bad-ass as Ichigo is to me.
