m-paoword replied to your post: I think Naruto is one of the most overrated series out there. It hasn’t brought anything new to the shounen genre, is overhyped, and is full of flaws. The characters are a bastardized recreation of ninjutsu and the characterization leaves much to be desired. The art is subpar for a shounen series and the battles are boring and the plot predictable.
Or it’s under performing by comparison to One Piece because it isn’t as good as One Piece and that you are allowing your pro-Naruto agenda to cloud and distort your viewpoint of the series thereby causing you to fail to see how over hyped it is.I’m possibly the farthest one can ever be from having a pro-Naruto agenda. In fact, if the series, were truly flawed, then I would indicate it as such. If I had such an agenda why would I bother following One Piece weekly, or putting Zoro, Luffy, Ace, and Sanji as some of the best characters ever realized in shonen manga on the hype list. Naruto has been hitting it’s stride ever since it premiered and the masses just seem to fail to acknowledge the series greatness.
If One Piece focused on developing friendship and bonds more, showing action with key fights on panel versus off panel, keeping the straw hats together during arcs rather than splitting them up the second it begins, becoming more suspenseful, decreasing the amount of world building and text heavy chapters, having better character designs (why does everyone have to be a big bulky giant or non human creature?, and virtually most antagonists of the same species in the series have similar features), eliminate non human non compelling straw hats to decrease the cast size and give more attention to the characters we care about, brought Sabo back, eliminated Luffy’s scar, and had faster pacing, then I think One Piece would rival and be as good as and if not better than Naruto and Fairy Tail.
“If One Piece focused on developing friendship and bonds more”
Cool story, bro.
One of the main reasons why I love One Piece so much is that it’s able to capture emotion better than any shounen I’ve watched or tried to watch and, frankly, better than any anime I’ve ever watched.
Also, the way they navigate through their narratives and build their characters, whether major or minor, is top notch.
Not sure where they are in the manga (and I don’t want to know), but the Fisher Tiger and Queen Otohime flashback was incredible. One Piece has always managed to lay down foundations for its big arcs tremendously well, and it’s no exception with the current one. The themes used in this Fish-Man arc are so deep; maybe deeper than any other arc so far. Just very good stuff.

Because you know, that jerk thief Toriyama time-traveled to the future and stole some of Oda’s character ideas.
And it’s not like Oda hasn’t riddled references to Toriyama through his work.
Toriyama ought to have designed his characters better in a way that couldnt be easily improved upon and serve as an easy inspiration for others. Surely you all could agree that he could aimed for a higher state of originality.
He used archetypes, so it’s not that someone took the characters that he created and moved forth with them, it’s that other writers have used the same archetypes but have done it, in your own opinion, better than Toriyama did.
He also kind of ushered in the era of fight manga, so he created what’s essentially the base of everything that gets done in the series that came out thereafter. At this point it’s inevitable that parallels will be drawn, and there will always be people trying harder to do it better, and many of them will succeed.
Sounds like a certain mangaka was an inspiration to other mangaka after all.

3 Minutes Of “One Piece: Kaizoku Musou”
This trailer is equal parts cut-scenes and gameplay, giving a good taste of what fans can expect from the game when it releases in March.
No word yet as to a US release, but given the show’s popularity stateside, I’d say it’s a given.

The Popularity of One Piece Among Adults
(The latest volume of One Piece: Volume 61, which set another record in copies sold.)
About a month ago, popular Japanese TV channel, NHK, conducted a survey on people who read Eiichiro Oda’s super-popular manga series, One Piece. And this was the result of their study.
Apparently, 88% (rounded to 90%) of adults in Japan read the manga frequently. The teen demographic appears to not read One Piece or might not care enough to end. Though here in the West, you don’t see too many teenagers read or talk about One Piece.
Let’s take a look at why One Piece is supposedly more appealing to adults than teens/children.
(For those unfamiliar with One Piece, you can visit this link for more information.)
“Growing up with One Piece” and “Lack of Teen Angst” sounds just about right.
Anime Review: One Piece 485
Whitebeard has a score to settle with Blackbeard — notorious former son, murderer and traitor. With the opportunity finally presenting itself, he opts to fight alone, despite his deteriorating health at its critical point. It’s a battle that a proud father must fight for his sons, even if it takes every ounce of life he has left.
Since I’m in a Pop GO reblogging mood, because sadly, all of my free Tumblr time gets spent on there and rarely on here anymore, I might as well reblog my own work. Latest One Piece review!
