I dont even know what I expected, though I do know, the anime is largely a huge reason why I love One Piece so much.
Well it's good to know that all those empty panels don't take up too much time in the anime.

DTL the reason why you like allot of stuff makes allot of people dislike it so that no surprise there

You know what makes Bleach so fucking awesome? Some seriously fucking badass quotes/lines.

One Piece uses sentimentality as a crutch, and it beats you the hell over the head with it constantly. That can be annoying to some people.
Then it goes full Bobobo and offers pages and pages of reaction shots when Luffy farts etc.
Late but whatever.
Damn I thought I was the only who felt this way. When it comes to manga there is a 99.99% chance I will like the MC the most in that series. Like, altogether my favorite characters from Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Fairy Tail, FMA, SnK are Naruto, Ichigo, Luffy, Natsu, Edward Elric, and Eren respectively. It sounds generic, but if you really think about it, I don't think there are many people who like all of those main characters at once.
(I do this other sources of media like video games, movies, etc)
PS: I don't read HxH, but fuck gon I doubt i'll ever like him the most lol.

With every passing chapter the art of berserk gets even more insanly amazing then the one before it,easly the best art in manga, Am really like the humor with kid thief and fairy.
a female character design with Curls and not drills, I think this a first
speaking of anime counterparts, One piece anime is superior well most of the time except for war arc(I didn't like the minor changes in anime)

In the end it boils down to atmosphere and action vs pacing. One Piece isn't a deep show, it's colorful, perky and action heavy. For those reasons OP is one of those rare cases were I actually do prefer the anime to the manga. The action scenes are better and it feels more alive. The pacing is annoying sometimes... but the pros outweigh the cons, imo.
Of course the guy with the generic nickname and military avatar would enjoy cheesy quotes.

Actually i was, but only because i thought it will develop Luffy´s characters and make him stop acting like he always does. My theory is that people are too attach to his character, and Oda is afraid to piss them off by actually making Luffy grow up.
There is nothing wrong with you considering Bleach terrible but the bolded part is very ignorant junior.
People weren't meant to be happy with what happened to Ace and Whitebeard, that was the whole point. FI however, is a different story altogether

Baffling if people like gon over killua, or natsu over gray. Naruto, might as well include Sasuke as a main character.
Haha no way... Naruto ruined most of it's characters when part 2 began. When was the last time any of the rookies (Asides from Shikamaru) actually did anything? The fact that Part 1 done well in fleshing them out makes what happened to them even worse.
I would say the same applies for quite a lot of the fights in part 2 as well. Went from strategic fighting to eye jutsu hax and Rasengan spamming.
That's what you get for having unrealistic expectations. Luffy grow up? He wouldn't be Luffy anymore.
Yeah. And gon isn't a great MC. But Togashi makes up for it by having the real MC (Killua) be AWESOME.
Lame. Don't hate on Tactical Fox, breh.
You'll do well here, Junior.
Yeah, and this might be one of the biggest reasons I really am disappointed in Part 2 as a whole compared to Part 1.

Fun light hearted manga, was somehow pleasantly surprised that the ecchi level was pretty low ;P.
Chickens are awesome as well. Had a pet chicken in my childhood =S

There is nothing unrealistic with that. It´s unrealistic not to develop him after what happened to Ace especially when Ace got killed because he was protecting Luffy.

One of my main beefs with what Naruto has become (plus Naruto losing his "hardwork" mantra and Neji apparently being right about his pre Naruto defeat beliefs).
Supposedly the anime is ending next month,
The manga is called Naruto. Nobody gives a shit about these rookies outside of wishful manga readers who are mad that their favourite filler character isn't getting a flashback.

I know, I was just being obnoxious. But the thing is, there really are no redeeming qualities in Bleach, imo. The plot is incredibly thin and moronic, I know it's just supposed to be something to keep the show going, but how 'bout some effort? But mostly, it's the repetitive and extremely formulaic nature of it that I can't tolerate. I just cannot and will not recognize or respect Bleach.
I get what you mean, but I don't really see what could really change without changing his fundamental character.
Indeed, which also makes Rock Lee's entire character arc redundant since apparently genes and eye jutsus >>>>> Hard work.Infinite Justice said:
No one cares anymore, yea. But there's no way that would be true if they actually had a role rather than just standing there. Seeing how everyone would progress was one of the reasons I was looking forward to Part 2 so much. Instead we get lots of Sasuke, and useless shit like Hawk or Snake or whatever the fuck they were called.survivor said:

If people really want them then the anime has given like 140+ episodes to these characters, enjoy things like Tenten flashback of her getting inspired, and Shino training with Hinata and actually losing against her, oh and Hinata learning attacks, and Kiba/Naruto flashbacks of races and more.
The same can be said for One Piece, when did we ever revisit anything with Zoro or Sanjia fter they joined back in the pre 100 chapters? At least in Naruto's case, Hinata had a moment of glory, Shikamaru team had two major fights and development.
Well then why did why was 50% of Part 2 devoted to the Sauce? Why didn't Naruto get one major fight until the Pain battle? Why did Kishimoto "waste" time developing those characters in part 1?
I can't tell if you're being serious. ;_;

Well blame Kishi for setting the fucking precedent then, if it wasn't so prevalent in part 1 then no one would give a shit.
The problem that it was and people got attached to some characters, so seeing them basically being tossed aside after all that shit could be seen as annoying to them.
Indeed, poor rock lee

It's more about why they're tossed aside. All the time that could've been spent fleshing them out further was utterly wasted on zombie character development.

Still it was ace fault that they end up with him having to save luffy in the first place .
Also he did grow up for short while cause he listing to ray when he said they had to train for 2 years and we know luffy never listing to nobody no matter who it is .

Sometimes it's like we forget these (the shonens) are works aimed at teenagers, the way we overanalyze every detail 'til exhaustion. This isn't Berlin Alexanderplatz, ahah. Most mistakes come about simply because the authors weren't planning on making something this epic and huge 'til the fame came around.
:heh:

Of course a guy with a generic avatar does not enjoy depth in manga.
But that was shitty filler. Completely different thing.
We see Zoro, Sanji and the rest of the SW every week. We see the rookies, what, one or twice a year? Hinata's 'moment of glory' was getting shanked by Pain, and her confession ignored. Team 8 had their chance against Hidan/Kakuzu, but only Shikamaru came out of that looking good.Dedication Through Light said:
I don't get how the character with 2 of the best fights in part 1 hasn't done shit in part 2. I think Ino's done more than he has. INO!!Infinite Justice said:Indeed, poor rock lee
Because Kishimoto, unlike Oda, likes to develop his villains and gives them a meaning and purpose. And Sasuke is half of the manga, he is the reason Naruto does everything. They are the ying and yang bullshit.
So what? Naruto was still doing shit before that
Cause he likes to fuck with people's expectations. And it's called part 2 for a reason. A change of style in the story
Well my favorite manga can totally beat up your favorite manga.
It really seemed like a great opportunity to let the new generation strut their stuff vs zombie modo. Too bad it didn't quite go that way.
But Part 3 had to make up for how shitty Part 2 was. Or something.

This whole younger generation surpassing the old is a load of rubbish when the current adults being weaker then the guys before them like 1st hokage,hanzo,4th hokage and madara, it only applies to naruto and sasuke surpassing god by way of god given HAX.

Naruto villains had meaning and purpose? Outside of Itachi, Orochimaru, Pein, and Tobi that's....lol.

We just saw Hinata two chapters ago vowing to when she sees Naruto, to tell him her feelings, we saw the others then, and they had a fight in the war, and they had involvement in the summit, and they had involvement in Pain.
We do not see all of the Straw Hats each week, during the war, they litrally vanished from the scene for like over a year almost two, and worst, the straw hats barely stay together all at once, for example, Luffy was separated for so long from them on Fishman Island and now in this arc, the crew is split in half.
A crew is supposed to stay together, not split up.
His purpose is to be Orochimaru without being Orochimaru.
And these are the main villains and they all have a meaning for being dicks, bad or dumbasses.
Kabuto will get his time to shine, don't worry. Kishi is just waiting for the right moment.
This is also why I have much more problems with the treatment of "Nakama" in Naruto vs the treatment of them in Bleach. It's all about the precedent the author sets early on.
From the beginning of Bleach, it was never set up by Kubo so that we thought that Ichigo's friends were these great heroes alongside Ichigo that would fight all the time with him. Them being fodder is fine because that's how they were from the start. Sure, he could have given them a bit more screentime as of late (which he seems to be doing in this arc!) but we all knew that when it came to shit getting done, Ichigo rolled solo. That's been consistent. They were his friends that he found strength in through protecting. Not by them directly lending him their strength.
That is why we saw Ichigo hit his lowest when he no longer had those friends to protect when Tsukishima trolled him. It wasn't because they couldn't provide him their strength anymore, but because they no longer relied on him for his strength. So when Chad and Inoue were knocked out in the last arc, I said "Well, that kind of sucks" but it's nothing that left my jaw on the floor in disgust.
Naruto, on the other hand, is a completely different ordeal. In Part 1 of Naruto, not only did Kishimoto flesh out each character, he also lead us readers to believe that team dynamics were important to him. Not just the dynamics of one team (like the straw hat crew in OP, which Oda does a fantastic job with for the most part)...but the dynamics of multiple teams interacting with each other. Not only did Kishimoto display the importance of team dynamics through his writing, he damn well succeeded with it too. All in a way that still let the main character shine. This all lead up to the fantastic rescue Sasuke arc where team dynamics were probably at their highest point.
That sets a precedent. For Kishimoto to now make those characters worthless is probably one of the biggest reasons why Part 2 is now a piece of shit.

This also, plus the point where he introduces a whole bunch of new characters we are supposed to give a shit about in the war, why?
I can understand the reasoning but how its portrayed makes me not convinced at all since the older generation were pretty fucking OP.

Naruto
Even though i like to see more of Konoha 11 in the manga, i have to say that survivor is right. The Konoha 11 are irrelevant to the overall plot. Besides some characters have gotten development in part 2. Shikamaru and team 10, Hinata, Sai. But the whole purpose of the manga is about Naruto and what´s most important to him. Sasuke plays a huge role in that, therefor concentrating on Sasuke, and not giving more time to Konoha 11, make sense.
