You can just watch the HxH anime, its a very faithful adaptation.
the recent HxH chapters actually have good art too.
I'll say Kakashi, with Kisame reserve of chakra, the only thing that stops Kakashi of winning is pretty much his above average amount of chakra.
After Naruto ends, I'm going to watch HxH, I liked the old one but I didn't follow it seriously, I find One Piece boring, mostly because of the pirates theme and there is so much to catch up, I have no interest in Fairy Tail and I hate Attack on Titan art style/char design.
Yo man, Hunter X hunter is so gooooooood. Forgot about the art and just watch the amine. In time you will see why it is so loved by fans.
It has a long way to go to get to the ultimate, most straightforward cliched shonen series ever -
Dai no Daibouken.
Dai no Daibouken is awesome because it follows shonen tropes so shamelessly.

kinda unfortunate that you'll just give up on manga after Naruto
especially since there a multiple series that are good if not better then Naruto

Madara is laughing his ass off like an adrenaline junkie that cheated death whilst Gai is burning up like an ember.
Eight Gates Gai ain't shit.
So let me get this , the only person in the whole manga who was almost killed the Ninja devil Madara, a man that in his weakest form solo the ninja army and the five kages, an't shit?

This is why I don;t want Naruto to end -___-
No other manga has caught me like Naruto if we are talking about shounen.
I'll just stop reading manga I guess and reminisce about the glory days of reading naruto.
I guess I could read the yearly Berserk chapter.

attack on titan by far has the worst art, getting through that is a slog. I'm thinking about just skipping the manga and watching the anime only for that.

I can see Bleach ending before Naruto to be honest
Kishi is likely to have more villains face offs post Kaguya while Bleach may just have the Quincy King and maybe the Soul King as final obstacles
idk for both of these they just seemed rushed while still feeling very dragged on.... I guess it is because we are getting back to back villains without any pauses

The anime not that good either. It has terrible pacing.
Yup. Madara wasn't even fighting back and kept goading Gai to keep coming at him, and yet despite that Eight Gates Gai is overhyped like shit like he's some god-slayer. Hell naw. That entire fight felt like Kishimoto felt obligated to show off the Eight Gates fully unleashed before he ends the manga and really didn't want it to make it any more meaningful than a hype machine and stalling method plot-wise.

at least it looks good though and has cooooo music. Even when it's uneven it's still entertaining enough. The manga takes a will of fire to read each page.

I guess why some people won't read Toriko is because
- it is about getting food (with some twist and backstabbing)
- overly muscled men (some people are normal looking)
- not a lot of fan service... scratch that no fan service
What bro, He it the shit. He is one of the strongest people in the manga. Hell kish has to make up dumb reason to why gai is not fighting in pein arc. Gai Is a god slayer.

Is badly drawn but no where on the level. No other series has caught me like Naruto. Not even all time favorites like Pokemon, Dragon Ball and Shaman king who I would never read a manga of. I wish the Bleach Anime came back, I loved the music.
Edit: Madara wasn't fight back because he couldn't. He couldn't react, he couldn't strategize, None of his plans or counters worked. He was just lucky to be alive.

I watched like 60 episodes and it was great. It just got super repetitive like all shonen do so I stopped. There was only so many times I could watch dude fork chop someone in half and then salivate over what he would add to his super grand chef meal thingy thing at the end of the episode.

yeah what this guy said. plus the art is only shitty in certain chunks. It's pretty good right now
Best Moment in this whole god damn shitty war arc is when gai goes eight gate beats the fuck out of madara. That moment was pure hype, I wish gai defeated madara.
THe worst, to many to count.
Hopefully the anime makes it as epic as this

I really loved the music selection. Made an already bad ass moment even more awesome.
I usually watch those videos after the manga releases. It's gotten to the point where I favor them over the anime :O

The thing is the story takes a twist later on and shows off the true objective (which was foreshadowed) in the series
the Toriko vs Starjun fight alone (in the manga) had at least 8 new techniques by Toriko
lol well Female fan service
Also Toriko Manga >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Censored, Low Budget, added Filler to Canon, distorted, PG, Toriko Anime
What other series have you tried?

Or some might think it is ridiculous and to never be taken seriously. Besides Toriko's crew is in need to a strong female main character and villains. No Rin is not strong nor she is a min character.

As far as female ninja go, Mai (Mizukage) is the strongest female character in Naruto, ever.
It's unconfirmed if its a female or not. We know that the person is wearing a mask, and not who everyone thought he/she is.

Gai's moment was one of the highlights of the war arc. One of Kishimotos stumbles in part 2 was not giving Gai, Lee and Neji badass moments like Neji/Kidōmaru, Lee/Gaara or Lee and Gaara vs Kimimaro

Joa was mentioned as the daughter of Frohze a few chapters back :/
the face isn't a mask but rather a scared face

It was kind of stupid seeing the 1 through 7 tails giving Kurama a hard time. "Dude he's just 1 human wtf you pansy." Dumbasses, Kurama is like 10 times as powerful as the lot of you combined. If he's shitting himself at madara Uchiha, your comparably weak asses better be running for the hills.The madara hype train was pretty crazy as well. Peaked at this:

Lee got his whole Manga and TV series. He has gotten better treatment than most of the cast. I love the manga and Anime is really silly.

that's really not want we wanted
Lee ended up better off than most the Konoha 11, but that isn't saying much. Neji, especially, was totally wasted.
Not as wasted as Shino

He obviously used a pic like this as a template. I've seen many different versions of this pic with different backgrounds and settings etc..

Is Toriko really that good? How is the art? Lots of great battles? I really want to read One Piece but Find the task daunting and always found the art off putting. I got into it watching it on Toonami.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
One Piece's art is off putting at first. It grows on you. The anime picks up around episode 30 or so, and then really kicks off into high gear around episode 60. You can't jump into OP and "get it" right away. I think this is what scares so many people away - it's a time investment. My personal advice is to watch up until episode 80 or so, when they get to Arabasta. If you're not into it by then, it's probably not your thing.
I refuse to get into Toriko because of superficial reasons, but One Piece is fucking terrific. Get into that, bro. It's a long and epic journey, full of adventure, action, laughter and a little drama. It's just one big epic story. Come on aboard, brother.

I'm watching the water 7/Enies Lobby arc but I need to start from scratch to understand everything.

The art is a hit and miss--kind of old-school. Battles... well, so many powerful people and beings duking it out, many of them are great though, imo.
What Toriko does better than most, even than One Piece, is the *sense of world-scale* and *world-building*. The world in Toriko is really really amazing, with an unmatched sense of grandiose and scale to the likes I haven't seen in any other manga of its kind. It's just amazing how much really unique stuff the author could think of, it's making the sense of adventure really strong in Toriko

SPOILER: Columbus finds America
Yea! Lot's of surprises in that arc esp right after it's over so don't spoil yourself. One piece took off for me right after they met Sanji. It became my favorite after Water 7, but I think it had me arabasta.
As for Naruto, I loved that damn Manga early on but it starting losing steam around time skip and maybe just before. Zabuza and the chunin arc were amazing! Basically once Orichimaru became a punk, the story went downhill lol.

You have my attention. How long does it take for the series to pick up? Is the anime a good enough adaptation?
Also, did anyone ever play that Rock Lee 3DS game? Was it any good? I'm jonesing for some Naruto, and I've played UNS3 to death by now. Actually, let me broaden the question - what are your favorite Naruto games?
Agreed on the point that no manga has caught me like Naruto and I've read and follow a substantial amount. One piece at its highs are great but way too many arcs just drag on forever, the Marineford arc is just so amazing, top 10 arc of any manga for me. All of part 2 is so boring right now, Fishman island is so crap.
Its funny and good if you like 2D beat'em ups.
If your 're gonna get in to one piece read the manga, the anime is horribly paced now.
