Naruto Or One Piece?


  If you're into anime, you've either heard of Naruto or One Piece. Where am from,One Piece isn't as popular as Naruto but I think if we're judging based on  an average of all countries that watch both,one piece is more popular. I have finished Naruto but I just can't fully get into One Piece for various reasons like the art style,stretching story arcs unnecessarily and the fact that to me,it has clear point.

 One piece just kind of goes with the flow and even if One Piece fans think the author is a genius,I personally think he doesn't know what he's doing. Naruto on the other hand is something I love more,the characters are great and the fight scenes are engaging and spectacular. Story arcs are more meaningful and carry more emotional weight to me.
  I've watched 100+ one piece episodes and although it's entertaining I hate the fact that even with that much episodes I don't really grasp it's basic concepts. I mean my friends who love One Piece don't even let me argue because they deem me unworthy of their time but Naruto on the other hand isn't like that. You could watch 30 episodes and be able to make a solid argument about Jutsus and Characters. I'm quite impatient and so I hate being stalled by irrelevant things all the time. So if you're a fan of One Piece and you're angry at what I've said so far,there's no need to be. I think One Piece is great,I just think Naruto is better in all aspects.

  Now let's look at the story of both animes and how they affect their characters;


•ONE PIECE
       The primary synopsis is about Luffy a young devil fruit user and his "pirate crew" as they go in search of the one piece(a legendary treasure) in order for Luffy to become the Pirate King.

•NARUTO
      It tells the story of a young orphan boy named Naruto who has the nine tails sealed in him. Hated by the village for being the nine tails host,Naruto strives to become the Hokage of his village and secure the peace of all it's citizens.
   Those are the abridged version of both synopsis but that is essentially what the overall storyline revolves around and if you read(manga) or watch(anime) both of them you can see that both Luffy and Naruto have goals of becoming men of status. If you watch both anime you'd also know that they're also very similar. They both love food,they are both optimistic,they are both also very whacky and value friendships very very very much. But,why Naruto is better is because it is more realistic. Naruto characters have goals that do not revolve around Naruto becoming hokage and all the ninjas actually act like ninjas unlike One Piece where most of the characters goals are directly connected to the location of the One Piece treasure and they don't act like actual pirates.

   Let's move on to the worlds of both series. One Piece is supposedly set in the golden age of pirates and it has pirates and marines and all sort of whacky fun stuff but it doesn't feel like it's actually the golden age of pirates. The world is too whacky and even in serious moments it's looks very whacky due to the jarring art style.

Again no offense to the one piece fans because I do not hate one piece. I love concepts like the devil fruit in one piece. I find it poetic that pirates who use it can't swim in the ocean because what's a pirate without the ocean?.

 Naruto is set in a fictional ninja world where several villages learn the ways of the ninja and it feels that way. They have exams to graduate to higher ninja levels and they have several amazing and unique justsus. One piece fans reading this are probably saying "you haven't scratched the surface of one piece,you know nothing Jon Snow,you're stupid" and that might be true but still I see no point in anime that isn't able to set ground rules and concepts in it's first 100 episodes. To me,that's just slow and lazy in my opinion.

   All in all,I feel Naruto isn't perfect but it's great and I feel the same way about One Piece but if it's a head to head versus match I defintely think One Piece looses to Naruto. If you disagree with me and think One Piece is better,please don't hesitate to tell me why in the comment section and don't forget to subscribe for the email notifications posts where you can read full articles just from your email. Thanks A lot!

   Also I'll make a Death Note or Code Geass next so if you do or do not want that,just say so in the comment section below or you could even click any of the react buttons.

Who Would Win? Batman Vs Spiderman

Written By
Okay before I start I'd like you all to know I am not being partial in any way at all. I had this argument with my friend Andrea a couple of days back and now I feel like sharing on who I think would win,but I realised they are two perspective 1-choosing a winner based on accomplishment 2-choosing a winner based on powers or strengths 1- this perspective is basically saying "oh look at this let's check out both characters accomplishments",they both have taken down a large amount of enemies ranging from smart villains to dumb ones,they've both faced foes that are big and strong. So it's only reasonable to think Batman would win here,not by a long shot though because Spiderman is a force to be reckoned with. Batman has basically done more important things,he has defeated Superman severally,dodged darkseid's omega beams,outsmarted braniac,I mean the man is a bit fluent in kryptonian and he knows several martial art skills and he's just a human......

KOE NO KATACHI: A REVIEW?

Written By
  Koe no Katachi (A Silent Voice) is a 2016 Japanese [obviously] animated film written by Reiko Yoshida and directed by Naoko Yamada. The film is based on the manga of the same name, written by the great Yoshitoki Ōima. I just want to talk  type about this beautiful anime; don't think of this as some sort of review. P.S.: Little spoilers here and there. It starts off with Ishida - who'd later be the main male character - trying to commit suicide. And may I say... the musical build-up to the point where he is to jump off the bridge... SUBARASHI! It's utterly gorgeous [for the lack of a befitting word]. It's not over done with sad sounds or large synths. It's almost inaudible, gentle; it's the kind of music that would play in the head of a sad or depressed person. And it is explained in detail - his dilemma.  The movie's title makes sense because of Nishimiya. She's deaf. In middle school, she's a victim of bullying from her classmates in form of ignor...

Rebuilding The DCEU

Written By
      Hello again,it is....Barney the DC fan who loved BVS and MOS but didn't enjoy JL. A friend of mine told me I stopped talking about DC and he was right. You're probably wondering about why  I stopped talking about DC. Well the answer is simple as ABC,THEY MESSED UP!. Technically it was warner bros who messed up but still justice league is  a movie under the DC brand so....it's a DC film.    Justice League was meant to be the finale to a beautiful and well layered/deep series of movies. It was meant to be the proper end of Superman's journey from Man of Steel but instead it became a short,eye candy based pop corn flick with little or no rewatch value at all. I know a lot of people reading this might not agree with me because they hated the prior DC films for being too "dark" and "depressing" and I totally get their point of view. One of the reasons why I didn't like Justice League was because after I watched it I was like "...

The Boys

Written By
   The Boys is a new Amazon prime television series that asks and brilliantly answers the question "how would superheroes be in the real world?".   In this version of modern America, a lot of people have super human abilities and are known as Supes. Supes are generally loved and respected, thanks to the superhero team "The Seven".  The first moments of the show starts of as a parody of stereotypical superhero films and shows. At first glance, the heroes just seem to be a parody of the justice league. With Wonder woman being Maeve, Flash being A-Train,Aquaman being the Deep, Batman being Noir, I'm not exactly sure who Translucent, a retired member I can't remember  and Superman being Homelander. We see how the general public loves and idolize these heroes. But, the thing about Superheroes being in the real world is, they come with collateral damage.  Hughie an ordinary guy and massive fan of the seven gets his life turned upside down wh...
