Right. Sorry. Shoulda said "The best things about one piece are chopper and brook." Lack of angst is up next.
So should I try Naruto when I am sort of feeling too old?

The problem with Naruto is that the Manga is way faster, but there's so many flashbacks and so many conversations inside a character's head and when every character looks the same and it's all black and white, it all kind of runs together. The anime solves the issue of what's what and who's who, but they also stretch goddamn everything out to oblivion.
Overall I'd say that if you're interested in going through it, then while the manga is way faster, I'd recommend the anime and just skip all the filler. There're some fantastic fight scenes and openings once you get to them and the whole thing is far clearer.

Is the anime finished? I stopped two or three years ago because I like to watch a lot of episodes in one run.
Love the series by the way and can't understand the love for many suggestions that are made in this thread. But it is good to see so many different opinions

No way, but the Manga is pretty close to ending. The manga is ahead of the anime by two solid years.

At this point, I'm only watching it so I can see how it ends and to see the Internet's bitter tears when
Sakura ends up with Naruto.

what about one piece is that something good to get into it looks like it has lots of interesting characters
Yes do it... there's *alot* though so get ready for a ride.
Also it's kinda slow in the beginning, isn't until the Nami arc (~ep 40) it starts finding it's stride... picks up even more once they get to the grand line. Just gets better and better from there.
Yeah, I was loosely reiterating what I had heard before from others, but it doesn't change the basic fact the end is nowhere in sight for OP (and I don't expect a cancellation short of something catastrophic happening given how popular OP is) while Naruto must be ending soon, so someone who was invested in Naruto before may want to follow to see how it ends while OP is too far to justify that angle if you don't currently care for it.

Not me bro. I already won that battle in how I met your mother and I'll win this one. Also not surprised that a lot of haters are One Piece fans.
Edit: If you get into One Piece, I recommend skipping some arcs entirely.

I tried watching it and it kind of sucks. But then I've kind of grown out of kids shows.
Ya, just skip anything that's TV only arcs.

Some canon arcs also, like Skypea.

The best anime is Gintama, it's fucking hilarious. Try it. The "filler" episodes make up most of it, with very small arcs in between, but it actually works in its favour.
The anime butchered the Skypea arc? I liked it in the manga, even tho it didn't live up to the Alabasta arc before it.

Watch it till the end of the chunin exam. If it doesnt click with you leave it in the dust. Me personally I loved everything before the time skip .... than I dropped it. Just lost interest.
WUT? Why would you do that?
Only canon arc you should even remotely skip is the Davy Back Fight.

Is not about the quality, is just that absolutely nothing of importance happened. Unlike Naruto where every 10 chapters you have scenarios wildly changing from one another, you can easily skip entire arcs in One Piece without missing anything.
Lot of things happen
1. You learn more about the different type of fruits, and how OP Logia fruits are
2. It's where going merry takes her big spill
3. The dials are introduced
4. The end fight is great, and has the classic enel face.
5. More backstory on the Poneglyph.
6. Mantra is introduced

I feel Gintama works better when you start getting the references. I'd save that for when you've seen more anime. It's defiitely not a gateway series, imo.
