| Bleach, Naruto, One piece. I heard about them...Are they any good? Which one is worth watching or checking out? I know all 3 are shonens, but preferrably the main lead char have to be brave, cool, and accept challenges!. some feedback on the BIG 3! |
 張大です for 張大勇督察 |
| Monkey__D__Luffy here, I would recommend watching One Piece, idk if I meet your standards but I love challenges, also thankfully there isn't so many fillers which I really dislike because I wish I had the time to sleep! If you want an amazing adventure that you will never forget, watch me as I go on my journey to find One Piece. |

| Naw honestly though One Piece is the best selling manga for a reason, if you don't mind the amount of episodes there is, then I completely recommend this. Also somethings about Bleach, the first 30 episodes or so were pretty bleh so you would have to get past that, but once it got into the soul society arc it was pretty good, pretty much after that, the anime failed and had 40+ episode filler arcs which got pretty annoying, also it stopped airing when the story wasn't complete yet. For Naruto, the first series wasn't bad, the last 70 or so episodes were fillers though, but I wouldn't recommend Shippuuden. P.S. I may be a bit biased towards One Piece. |
|
| IMO one piece > bleach + naruto + all other shonen combined bleach = pretty good up to episode 50ish than it became dragon z with random new power ups and random crap before i dropped it naruto = meh first 100 eps, then got 100 eps of filler shippuuuden = soso from what I have seen before dropped |
| hi |
| ^^^ is it just me or does he have 1m anime list views? |
|
| From a non biased standpoint (/glare@luffy) i would still recommend One Piece for the following reasons: -Bleach is good at the start but as soon as the first batch of fillers comes it it just bombs and almost never recovers.(the fillers overstay their welcome in the show) -Naruto is okish but falls apart very fast as most of the series gets bombarded by filler, only good thing i can say about it is unlike bleach the filler doesn't bleed into the main plot. -One Piece has its fillers but not very often, they seem to keep a good balance. Anyone is free to dispute these points as my memory is kinda poo. |
   It won't give up it wants me dead god damn this noise inside my head |
| Watch the first 63 episodes of Bleach, after that it kinda loses steam. |

Powering up is the name of the game and none of the Big 3 are innocent in that regard. Anyway, to the OP. Watch them all, who gives a shit they're just TV shows. |

| Honestly, the coolest MC of the 3 would be Luffy in One Piece! But they're all fun with many good battle scenes. Remember to check the filler lists online when you watch them so you know what to skip! |
| like everyone els im going to say one piece (like luffy im kinda biased im an admin for a one piece club and iv been watching it for 8 years) though yea one piece art can leave some to be desired and that due to oda its creator doesn't hold to one style for the designs. _______________________________________________________________ well bleach is cluster fuck of filler it does go filler arc to right into a filler arc and this will be in the middle of a battle it will switch to one. also the anime has ened and the manga is still going on. _______________________________________________________________ naruto: is ok though it does have a verry large filler at the end of naruto and before naruto shippuden starts and its better i skiped the filler arc cause it makes me go to sleep. so in the end watch all 3 and give them a go none of them are perfect but each has something that should catch you even though i didn't mention it also its not hard to watch them all ina marthons |

Noodsnoodle said: You never watched Pinnochio? Someone never had a childhood :(I'm kinda biased, but, I'll say that The Big 3 aren't the best anime out there. Anyway... I'd say Bleach is the best out of the three for me. The main character, Ichigo, is always getting in fights, loves challenges, blah blah. Bleach does have a few fillers, so be prepared. I'd say Naruto is the second best, but unfortunately you have to get through 220 episodes of Naruto (the first season)- I really hate the fact that he's stupid little kid - before he actually grows up when you start Shippuden. I found One Piece odd. It had some really good moments in it, but Luffy is just plain dumb and seriously, the characters in One Piece really do make me wonder sometimes. I mean, for starters, Buggy the Clown. A clown pirate, with a clown crew, wtf? Don't even get me started on Usopp's nose. |

| Candor did a good job of listing the pros and cons of each series, but I'd like to interject that all the casual Bleach fans just stopped following the series at this point because the plot and storytelling is so bad. One Piece may have wacky character art, but has some of the most gorgeous, detailed background scenery I've seen in any shounen. At least in the manga (I haven't watched the anime) I stopped reading the Naruto manga because the power-ups have gotten so ridiculoous. When the bad guys have the ability to destroy continents and no one has known it until Volume 40 (or whatever it's at now), there's an issue. |

| One Piece anime is alot better than the naruto/bleach animes. However, I think the naruto manga is the best out of the three. They're all shounens so they all share lots of similar things. I'd watch them all just to have the experience, but for anime one piece. |
 |
| I would say that from a marketing stand point the Big 3 are brilliant, they address a large audience, produce a lot of episodes and have relatively basic and easy stories to follow... However at the same time in terms of actual quality, and I mean like looking at the plot, characters, setting, art, etc. They are half-assed and really depend on the opinion of the viewer. I for instance like One Piece, god knows why, but I would never argue with somebody if they said that a monkey (and no not the main character) could write the story, Consider the big 3 like Twilight, The lady who wrote the books was a genius from a marketing standpoint, however her grasp of the english language and literary skills were that of a 7th grader. The other problem is since they are basically just cash cows for Jump, they have never ending plots, and seem to drag on and on forever leading to repetitiveness. Especially the whole lose a fight, train, get new skill, win fight, lose fight, train get new skill, win fight, etc. Probably the reason why I like one piece is because this doesn't happen every 30 episodes... Which would sound like a huge gap between new skills but with 500 episodes it really gets repetitive. |

However at the same time in terms of actual quality, and I mean like looking at the plot, characters, setting, art, etc. You're contradicting yourself. By being able to address and gain a large audience it also means that the Big 3 has the qualities you claim they lack. Perhaps you mean the Big 3 don't try to be unconventional in their execution and are done well enough for mainstream viewers but hipsters and super critics need something more artsy for their tastes? |

Candor said: Yeh that too haha but they actually secretly liked the fact he did that since it made the whole town more lively since nothing happened at all. Anyways to OP I'd recommend the manga more since its faster paced, the anime becomes 1 episode to 1 chapter after the timeskip which really sucks, but atleast it means there will be 0 fillers. the adaption isn't bad though and pretty much stays loyal except to you, man with the mustache blown up in half ._. gayest censor ever lol. However the anime does have some must watch arcs like Arlong Arc which I've watched several times. Also in the manga Oda improves his artstyle a lot.Monkey__D__Luffy said: Usopp's character is actually a combination of Pinnochio and the fairy tale (?) about the shepherd who was bored and went on warning his country from wolves that's coming to eat the sheep a couple of times, people took their guns and went out to face them, but there wasn't any, so people got sick of his lying after a while and started to stop believing his hopeless warnings/lies, after a couple of days wolves attacked and the shepherd warned and warned but no one believed him, after a while they realized that wolves came and ate the sheep and the shepherd too. The difference is that Usopp didn't die and it's pirates not wolves.Noodsnoodle said: It's symbolism to show that Usopp lies, if your going o take One Piece seriously though, there is 0 point in watching it, might as well watch Naruto/Bleach as OP won't be for you, the thing about One Piece is that as silly as they make the character designs, hell that guy at Skypiea even had ears that drooped to the floor, they can make indepth plots which you can take serious.Monkey__D__Luffy said: Noodsnoodle said: You never watched Pinnochio?
