Fairy tail is more fun in the beginning but only gets worse and worse as it goes on, meanwhile one piece starts a bit slow but once it hits its stride it stays good. Also these view points come from someone whose only read the manga of each which I would recommend you do as well.

Something tells me you'd enjoy Fairy Tail more. Despite the fact that I hate it, it does have its standard shounen fights, a colour cast of characters and a lot of comedy which makes it easier to get into. One Piece, while much better written, requires some effort to get into at first and is also way long. Also, I've found that many are adverse to its art style and the animation is not good. The manga is much better but you're more interested in anime, correct?

TL;DR I vastly prefer One Piece but Fairy Tail seems easier to get into for a lot of younger and newer anime fans so try that.

I've also binge watched up to episode 122 of One Piece but all this great anime like Erased was being released so I lost interest.

Then watch bleach, gintama, hxh 2011, soul eater and FMAB.
Good luck.

One Piece moves a bit slow, and is probably not ending anytime soon so you'll have to live with it's pacing for a couple of years, but it's nice. But it's become a choir to watch at this point, pacing's bad and the fillers mediorce but the story's pretty gr8. If you like the main characters, you'll probably like the story though(not the series overall, but the story). If you don't like the main characters, you *really* won't like the series. Obviously, only thing to do is to find out.


Let's be honest, Lucy is never making anyone's top 45 best characters that start with L and end with Y in a anime with a pink haired protagonist. The difference between your average bad character and Lucy is the difference between snot and poisoned snot. Both are disgusting, but one kills, and it kills over a very slow period of time. Fairy Tail is fanservice and nakama power, One Piece offers that in far lesser doses but with good characters and nice world building. I'd recommend that one.


Biggest barrier for One Piece is probably the artystyle and cluttering, but if you get use to it, it won't matter.

Edit: Well, this isn't the manga, so cluttering's a non-factor. Biggest barrier is artstyle, filler and really bad pacing. But if you really invest I suppose you'll get use to it. Eh? That doesn't sound like a recommendation. /:

:D If youre going to watch them both i suggest you watch Fairy Tail first so you dont drop it due to shit story compared to One Piece. If you can stand the awful One Piece art i suggest you watch it earlier or later w/e.

People may say One Piece's pace is slow, but that just makes it A LOT easier for you to binge watch. Many years ago I watched like all 400 episodes in about 3 weeks. Throughout the experience to learn to love the characters as they develop and it's definitely something I could call an adventure anime.

Fairy Tail is sort of enjoyable but it doesn't really feel like the anime progresses into anything. Also the conflicts they go into aren't really that impressive. (OP goes into slavery & corruption)

Overall I recommend One Piece, that is if you aren't an elitist who doesn't want to watch an anime because of its art.

Well having seen both I would say FT cause I liked it more. Now that is what a hardcore OP fan friend of mine told me is this: One Piece if better but FT is quite good and much more fast paced compared to OP. If you want sth big good but w/o minding a slow start (around 200~ eps) but w/ a good story and development later on go for OP. If you want a more fast paced, anime that goes quite cliche atm for for FT. It's all in your hands now. W/E you chose, enjoy ;)
A Story will always come to it's end. The thing is, will you move on after it's over?

Fairy Tail because it has sexier bitches and it doesn't have an arc as bad as the Fishman Island arc.

Fairy Tail is also the second-funniest battle shounen I've seen, behind History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi.

If your at gun point, you should watch One Piece, One cause its 300-400 episodes more than Fairy tail and there are 10+ Movies and 7 + Specials to also watch.

Which can increase you chance of survival by a good few months.

One Piece it is a fun saga with a whole complex history and different, its beginning is pretty childish but then becomes addictive and effective. I love One Piece and think fairy tail a bad saga. See one after the other and see one you like, you choose.

I was able to make it two episodes into One Piece before dropping it while I was only able to last for 10 seconds of Fairy Tail. Going by this I prefer One Piece even though I don't particularly like either. I much prefer Aikatsu which is a 178 episode CGDCT (like K-On!, but longer, better, and made for little girls instead of young men). I'm 166 episodes into Aikatsu which is 8200% more than how far I got into One Piece.

Jojo looks like it would be a better anime if it was ever fully adapted. At the normal adaption rate of 1 volume = 4 episodes Jojo would take 468 episodes to be fully adapted (3x as many as HxH 2011) while One Piece would only take 328 (would be great to have a One Piece Kai that fully adapts the 1200 chapter manga as a 600 episode filller-free anime).

@OP

Go with One Piece, unless you want to watch a bunch of asspulls in Fairy Tail. I have been watching both of them and am up to date in both of the manga/anime. Fairy Tail has been nothing, but a disappointment lately (past year and half, maybe longer) where it is nothing, but cheap wins, and asspulls to bring people "back to life". Only reason why I am sticking with it is in hopes of it getting better again and since I stuck with it since the beginning. Fairy Tail is good before the 2014 version, this is where the quality drops.

One Piece has better world building and better fights. The story behind it is more cohesive too, although one piece can start to get repetitive later on. The Dressrosa arc has horrible pacing, but luckily if you start it now, Dressrosa has ended and I believe you would be able to enjoy that arc by binging on it. If you pick it up now and catch up, you will be on time for two amazing upcoming arcs, so I say go for One Piece.

Fairy Tail has better music and girls, that's about it at this point. In terms of animation quality, its dropped as bad as One Piece has but at least OP still has movies/specials with decent budget with a good several few hundred episodes before it dipped.

Fairy Tail of course. Because one piece is just bad. http://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=206665

When you look at it, Fairy Tail is an improved version of one piece. Better characters, better story, better plot twists, better action, better art, and better OST.

Watch One Piece until the time skip if you enjoy light-hearted adventures that leave you with a magical feeling.

Fairy Tail is the worst battle shounen I’ve seen in terms of characters, story, and consistency. However, many people love it, and you might turn out to be one of those people.

Watch both cuz they are both a great watch and neither of em have many fillers FT even went now the 2nd time on hiatus so that we dont get 1year or so of pointless fillers. Anyway FT is currently on a break so you can finish befor they continue it. And for One Piece with 751 a new arc starts so its kinda a fine to start watchin it now i just finished it recently and took me around 2weeks for all thoose 750episodes^^

Go for One Piece, it is worth its time, altough manga is probably better. Fairy "friendship will win any fight (wow such plot twist wow) and nobody can't die in this series" Tail is watchable too, but in terms like fights or tits. It is enough though I think. So yeah watch OP first then FT.

Good lord, NEITHER!

OP will literally never end.

FT is the most cliche battle shounen you will ever see.

You will NEVER feel any real tension and almost every arc repeats itself with the same tired bs.

It CAN be entertaining....but you can easily predict the outcomes of most arcs.

I've never really watched One Piece, but I have seen alot of it with my friends, and I've finished Fairy Tail.

Fairy Tail is finished for the moment, so you might be able to catch up before it restarts. Watch it if you want a shorter series. It also has better art, music and funnier characters in my opinion(although One Piece has really funny characters too). It also has plenty of ecchi for you to feast your eyes upon, if your into ecchi. The pacing is alot faster too(not saying One Piece is slow), and it doesn't really have fillers per say, just break points between the major plots.

Bad thing about Fairy Tail is the fight scenes, they can be pretty bad. There are some good ones, but compared to what I've seen in One Piece , they could be ALOT better.

Now One Piece, on the other hand, as I mentioned before has slower pacing. If you hated the long ass DBZ fights(like how it took Goku 19 episodes to fight frieza) then don't watch One Piece. Also, it has over 700 episodes compared to Fairy Tails 270 (not exact numbers), so you'll be in for a long ride, and the manga is only 65% finished. Add in the fillers, and you may start to hate it before you love it.

But like I said the fight scenes are way better than Fairy Tails. And it won't shove the "I can beat you as long as I have my friends" trend down your throat every fight. The story itself is kinda cool too, since there's an actual goal in One Piece. And there aren't many Anime about pirates, atleast from what I've seen.

If it was me, I'd pick Fairy Tail, because One piece is just too long for me. But who cares about my choice.

Happy Choosing!

I almost can't imagine someone trying to get into OP from the very beginning...

They're on episode 1,069....yeah good luck catching up.

Seriously....it will NEVER end....I mean look at Naruto...the fucking manga finally ended and the anime is STILL milking it for every last drop.

Why the fuck do they STILL have fillers when the source material is over?!!

Makes no fucking sense.

13-26 episode anime are the best way to go.

This never ending shounen shit is straight up annoying.
