I still have not watched bleach, naruto, one piece anime/manga, are they good?

I don't know. I hate bleach, Naruto starts really fast but slows down for a long time, then gets good again. Once piece starts dreadfully slow and increasingly picks up and usually gets better every story arc. (though I haven't watched the latest I heard it was bad, which I expected)

They are all long as hell and the One Piece anime is very slow compared to the manga, which isn't that fast either. I don't remember the earlier episodes but some the the newer ones are just full of still shots of characters reacting to stuff which is crazy annoying.

All in all Bleach I don't have an opinion on, I just hate it. Naruto has a lot of good action. Once piece has good action but it's world and story is by far the most organized and fleshed out, and in my opinion interesting.

One Piece is really good, skip the other two.

Bleach is good until the end of the Soul Society arc. After that it all goes to sh!t, both manga and anime.

Naruto is average-bad. I haven't read a single chapter of the Naruto manga so I can't tell you about it, but the anime is almost as cheesy as the late BioWare games. It's hard to find a line in Naruto that's not cringe worthy. And skip fillers, they are incredibly bad.

One Piece has highs and lows. I liked all East Blue arcs, found the Alabastra arc a bit slow, loved both Skypiea and Water 7 (the latter especially), liked the Sabaody Archipelago arc, and found the following chapters to be incredibly boring. Fishman Island was like, really f*cking bad, and so is Punk Hazard. I just hope the next arc is better.

neither are good

go read/watch dragon ball(z) as all three rip of it's formulaic writing, at least dragon ball doesn't pretend it has emotional depth.

But Dragon Ball Z is pretty bad.

Dragon Ball Z isn't better than One Piece, but I would say it's less terrible than Naruto and Bleach.

but dragon ball is better than one piece. Z while a continuation of the series, has more to do with sci-fi than mysticism.

speaking of one piece, have they found the one piece or is it going to take the author another ten years to write an actual ending.

I recommend Fairy Tail instead.

It will probably take another 10 years of arcs that are better than DBZ before Oda finishes it.

I recommend Fairy Tail instead.

I have only heard bad things about Fairy Tail (POWER OF FRIENDSHIP), but I might give it a try one day.

I recommend Fairy Tail instead.

this is actually a damned good manga.

but I haven't read it in a while though.

It will proably take another 10 years of arcs that are better than DBZ before Oda finishes it.

while it may be better than it's "sequel," one piece doesn't even come close to how good the original dragon ball is.

One piece is easily the best of the three.

One piece- Been great from start till now but has pacing issues. Some arcs really drag on, they're still entertaining to watch but the pace is REALLY slow (Skypeia). I strongly recommend reading the manga but feel free to skip out on the anime. The anime is extremely long and as of current it's pretty much 1 chapter= 1 episode, which makes sense because the anime is fairly up to date but the pace of the anime is 10 times slower then the manga due to this. There is not enough content in a weeks chapter for an episode so they draggggggggg on.

Bleach- The anime is faithful to the manga and while there are 360 episodes you can skip out on about 150-180 because their fillers. The series started of well but has been rolling down a very steep hill since then. The lastest arc (manga) is promosing and has so far atleast made up for the Fullbringer arc. Read the manga and watch the anime, neither are too long although this obviously depends on howmuch spare time you have.

Naruto- Skip the fillers ( a MUST!) in the original naruto series (before time skip) there were 220 episodes. episodes 130ish-219 are ALL fillers. Avoid them like you'd avoid the plague (or bleach fillers). The anime is faithful for the most part but it's possible you can skip some information that is cannon if you skip the fillers. This goes for all three. I'm disapointed with manga as of current and the anime just got out of an extremely long filler arc.

In general, the mangas are better as there is no filler and they're not AS dragged out as the animes. They're also not censorsed which is a plus.

I can't comment on that one, I haven't seen much of Dragon Ball.We are just fighting over second place anyways because everyone knows Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is the best long running shonen.

Naruto is good(the only manga I read), One Piece is very very good, and I never watched Bleach.

If you're going to watch Naruto instead of reading the manga, be sure to look up which episodes are filler, because you'll end up watching a bunch of silly made-up episodes.

I recommend Fairy Tail insteaddercoo

No, you should just go on without ever watching them.

They often go against the most basic forms of storytelling, and instead become about power levels and whatnot.

Here's my reviews of the animes anyway, perhaps some minor spoilers but nothing too major except in ze Spoiler Tag:

Bleach - The first arc which is like the 60~ eps was pretty decent but the problem with this show is that some of the side characters, specifically Ichigos "gang" which consists of the most average girl in anime history, an arrogant skinny douche with a pissy attitude and a big brown dude that is *so* dull and the only thing that makes him even remotely interesting is that he's black and that his attacks are in spanish. Ichigo was kinda fun to watch I suppose but man, his gang is possibly the worst gang ever in anime, they are so ******* dull. PS: The fights suck compared to the rest.

One Piece - Just like Naruto, I don't think I could start over from episode 1, the animation and style just feels too crappy in the earliest episodes but just like Naruto, it has significantly improved it's artstyle and animation since the beginning. The problem with One Piece tho is that... honestly... it's kind of a drag. The arcs just goes on for way too long. After like one year (or maybe even 2? :( ) you're just like: JUST START FIGHTING ALREADY PLEASE OH MY GOD IT'S BEEN LIKE OVER 50 EPISODES OF HALF-***ED FIGHTS AND YOU ARE JUST DRAGGING IT OUT SO VERY MUCH PLEASE JUST BEAT THE BADDIE AND MOVE ON PLEASE. One Piece simply takes too long to "get there" in each arc, you know, the cool stuff we actually want to see with Luffy and the baddie and all that.

Naruto - Typical fighting anime (like the rest) that just have to spend a whole episode explaining attacks which we figured out ******* weeks ago. Yeah who'd know that the giant god damn circle the enemy is always standing in is *drumroll*... relevant! Everyone, that's who. Everyone except the supposedly smartest ninja and his gang of ninja professionals in their village. Watching this anime makes you just want to shout at the screen "NO YOU CRAPWAD HE ISN'T ****** DEAD, LIKE *EVERYONE* HAS A "FAKE-DEATH"-ABILITY, PLEASE LEARN ALREADY". They always act so surprised everytime an opponent fakes his death with some doll or wooden plank or water-clone or whatever.

And honestly, Naruto is the only anime I've ever seen which actually has more interesting side characters than the main character. And he is so unlikable, he's such a friggin' dumb***, he's like "lol imma save the world kk dunno how but i think dat when i am hokage i will create world peace cuz i will like, totally do it. i know its hard but for world peace theres no need for a plan either imo i just gotta do it".

Throughout the show, he comes off as such a one tricky pony and for those who have seen most of the episodes yet are reading this anyway...[spoiler] Pain attacking the village was one of the worst things I've ever seen really. How can he manage to do so well against Pain? He one-punched knockout'd the foe that several super pro ninjas failed to even scratch. And how do you manage to convince Pain to stop fulfilling his plan by basically responding "I'LL DO IT NO MATTER WHAT" to each of Pain's questions? He's like: How do you accomplish this? Naruto: I'll definitely make it. Pain: OK I thought I had a pretty well thought out plan in my head that I had been planning for years but if you pinky promise that you'll definitely do it then I will totally believe you. [/spoiler]

On the upside, Naruto has some of the best fighting animations ever and some of the Shippuuden fighting scenes are a beauty to watch.

So in the end, the winner is Naruto!

One Piece - Just like Naruto, I don't think I could start over from episode 1, the animation and style just feels too crappy in the earliest episodes but just like Naruto, it has significantly improved it's artstyle and animation since the beginning. The problem with One Piece tho is that... honestly... it's kind of a drag. The arcs just goes on for way too long.

There is something called build up, besides if you don't like waiting you can read the manga.

I don't have a problem with long build up when things actually happen. It's about the journey, not the destination to me.

shaman king is the only anime that is quite goodRatchet_Fan8

Exactly, out of the thousands of anime/OVAs/movies Shaman King is the only good one. It's kind of like winning the lottery, only one winner and everyone else is a loser.

Ok, here's my quick opinion/review.

-Bleach
This one is my favorite. Ok well it's not perfect. The main cast(Ichigo's group) is trash for the most part, FKT arc was garbadge, second half of fullbring arc was average at best and a lot of fights are predictable due to immortal good guys(pre-final arc anyway) but it has (imo) by far the coolest characters and I really like their abilities. The plot is interesting but all the big reveals will happen in the final arc(which won't be getting animated since the anime ended, but I believe it will return once the manga is far enough ahead. But you could always continue reading the manga, the final arc has the best art style imo). I think you should give it a shot. But watch out for fillers though, they can pop up at the most random moments. But I think you should definitely watch the zanpaktou filler arc though, it's really cool and interesting.

-Naruto
It started off pretty good but I kind of lost interest in it over time. Still read it though just for the heck of it. I you're going to watch it then whatever you do, do NOT watch the filler episodes. Those things are a torture to watch. They can ruin the whole show if you watch to many of them, that's how bad they are. But overal it's a fun show with cool character(though some of them are pretty sh*tty, like kid Naruto and Sasuke) and an ok plot(most of it is Naruto chasing his boyfriend Sasuke...). It also has a lot of flashback, which is annoying as **** And a lot of emo kids with no parents, which is also annoying.

-One Piece
One Pieco ok. It has it's cool and boring moments(the arcs drag sometimes). Well the manga anyway, I don't really watch the anime(only watched a few episodes, the quality seems ok) so I can't really comment on it. I have to say though a lot of its fights are average at best imo. The way they're written makes them extremely predictable and sometimes you'll just wish for it to be over already. The plot is basically a kid with a straw hat wanting to become the nr.1 pirate and goes on all kinds of adventures slowly gather a crew and becoming stronger etc. You get the idea.

So overal:
1. Bleach

2. Naruto/One Piece

For fights:

1.Naruto(it has a lot of cool fights, nice animation and stuff, just fun to watch)

2. Bleach(the ones that are good are really good, the ones that are bad are either average or just sh*t which bring Bleach down to second spot)

3. One Piece(has cool fights but few that make you go "awesome", also has a lot of boring fights)

I haven't read Bleach, but Naruto and One Piece are both worth reading/watching. Fans of One Piece may say that Naruto is crappy compared to One Piece, but it's not like you read those manga for depth and charaters. You read them for the fights, and Naruto delivers for the fights.

If you want to read some more "serious" manga, I'd recommend REAL, Monster, 20th Century Boys, and Pluto.

Oh and how come nobody talks about REAL? It's an awesome manga, made by one of the most famous manga writers ever, Takehiko Inoue. Personally, it's my favorite series of his.

i hope so, the only anime/manga i have watched so far are you are under arrest, ninku, samurai x, initial d, flame of recca, yu yu hakusho and such ones. i finally have internet access at my laptop for good, so i want to start getting those mentioned series are they worth it? if not can someone please name some older anime/mangas? i did watched some scenes from youtube about an old anime the guy had one hand of iron and was a violent anime i have forgotten the name right now, what i am looking for action anime/mangas. i do not mind hentai either. hehehehehehehehegrandknight

Even stuff like sports manga where you would expect the anime to be more entertaining, I find manga better. I mean reading Hajime no Ippo and Slam Dunk is so much more fun than watching it in my opinion.

No, they're all horrible. Bleach is the only entertaining one just to see how Kubo will troll us next.

Bleach is complete and utter bollocks.

Naruto is really entertaining. You just need to skip fillers and tolerate shounen crap.GazaAli

I recommend Fairy Tail instead.

thanks pal, thats beserk indeed, thats the name. i have seen very slight of that anime and its action is superb. by the way ain't manga also supposed to be like fat animes? like astroboy? or even initial d? not the b&w manga comic i am talking about manga art like anime art.grandknight

I don't see why most pages being black and white would bother you, it's not like it limits the artists. I think manga looks better than anime most of the time too. Just look at some pages from Vagabond or Berserk and you'll know what I mean. And reading the scanalations online is nothing like reading a book in your hand, a lot of the time the pictures online are pretty bad quality.

I think it's how some have grown up. For example, I've grown up with anime and the only manga I've read is Vinland Saga (epic epic viking manga by the way) and I simply feel the exact opposite; I think you're crazy to find manga better than the anime!

I've tried but the soundtrack, voice acting and colour are simply too important to just cut out.

I grew up on anime and I prefer manga. Manga has better pacing, usually has more detail, and most adaptions of manga are just worse in general. I still like seeing things animated, if not just for fanservice for after reading the manga.

Watch Dragonball Z instead.

There are some dull one piece moments but overall it is the superior of the two by far and it still is going for a while

Naruto is ending soon but overall it is okay but you would need to watch the original to understand any of it

As far as Bleach....it is hit or miss, so many plotholes and filler arcs but the anime has ended while the manga is on the final arc which is said to be long
