I'm gonna say it. I did not like the ending to FMA: Brotherhood. Ended to normally for me and the final battle outcome was outrageous for a series like FMA. Apparently, you can defeat god-like being and send him to Truth by punching him out. |

Big ass spoilers :) the original philosopher stone is made of the people of xernes which hohenheim communicated with to rebel against father and when father absorbed the souls of the amstrins to make a second one the xernes souls forced all the armstrins souls out. Then they activated the giant nationwide alchemy circle that weakened father further allowing them to win with punches and greed sacrificing himself to weaken him to the point 'truth' (god) came and took him away, because even if he has god's power doesn't mean he can use them. Educate yourself :( |

Everyone go read TORIKO It's one of the best ongoing manga, not just shonen. The atmosphere, food and action is just on another level. - Adult main characters - Lot's of crazy and unique abilities, plus over the top fights and scenery - THE WORLD BUILDING IS INSANE - Great monster and animal designs - Food - Epic story with funny, tender and heart warming moments and surprises If you like one piece and dbz, toriko is just like them except it's about hunting and with faster pacing. |

Toriko huh? it is indeed a good series but not the best ongoing manga out there. It has a lot of potential and unique premises but the lack of anime adaptation make it one of those underreaded manga. And the anime is just disappointing imo, dat censorship just ruin Toriko anime for me. What become of Toriko without all the gore. |

Toriko is better than one piece by far it's pacing is slow and drags on a lot and only the frieza saga from dbz can even compare to toriko. robis798 said: Stop spam or reported. >:(((((( I just posted it, you fma tard :( Toriko has better action and world buidling then that thing. And toriko also has pychological topics and food/life lessons that trumps anything from fma. Now that I think back on fma is OVERRATED, guess I fell to the peer pressure from all the fanboys :( It's an 8.5 at best, don't fall for the hype. |

Not even going to argue with the DBZ part since its just ridiculous Better characters that have generic storylines and no details. Cardboard cutouts at their finest hour. Why Toriko is better is that One Piece tries to be taken seriously and fails 90% of the time, whereas Toriko's aim is to be enjoyable and it delivers. Sometimes it's laughable how one piece tries to overly dramatize some moments as "tragic", but then again that's the show that hits itself with a shovel with its intrusive comedy. |

While both lack good storytelling, Toriko succeeds in what One Piece had failed, what people had been expecting from it for years at least: Good world building and a fun adventure. |

So you say that Toriko is better in world building? That's it? |

So you say that Toriko is better in world building? That's it? Yes I was totally stoked when they were showing us arcs of doing nothing on an island followed by forced battle scenes with no stakes whatsoever. What interests everyone about one piece, the mystery... or at least, how good they expect the revelation will be. So, it's mostly just...hype. About the destination. But a real fun adventure is about the journey and... has it really been a fun journey? Have the nosebleeds of Sanji, Hodi's crackpot stories, Dressrossa's pointless, yet obligatory shonen tournament really bee fun? I don't think so. --------------- As for world building, I personally have high standards for it, even still, I don't expect much from one piece. And it had only two good world building instances. 2 moments out of an 800 chapter show isn't good. Now I'm not caught up with Toriko, but many people (who I think are credible) say it has one of the most amazing world building in anime. The current Toriko... it's pretty good still. |

Nah, DBZ was mediocre as fuck, at some points even ridiculous. Dragon Ball was AMAZING, top notch comedy, amazing character interactions, just pure gold. Everything went downhill after Goku grew up. So I agree about any criticism DBZ has but it still is unpleasant when everything is compared to TORIKO!!!! |

It gets amazing by Yorknew. I don't know how volumes translate into episodes, but if they cover about 280 episodes, then I'd say FMA, Naruto, Bleach (Soul Society) and One Piece would qualify for the best. I don't think DBZ compares to any of those. |
