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.

The Star Wars Prequels are Better Than The Original Trilogy(Sue Me)

     Ho,Jo,jalapeño (I don't know what that means but it rhymes) Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates Christmas! It's Barney here,and today has been a shitty Christmas for me. I tried being a vegetarian but I couldn't because I was tempted bye chicken(damn you chicken!) And so I decided to make a post on why I like,and prefer the SW prequels to the originals.(disclaimer: please note that what am about to say might be rubbish due to the fact that I'm bored or it might actually make sense so,please don't take it personally).      I didn't grow up with the Original Trilogy so I don't have the whole "Nostalgic Bias" that all the "real" and "original" star wars fans have. I personally feel the OT had very cliché and laughable moments because it didn't age well and I find it funny how the Star Wars Purists ignore that fact and put the original trilogy on such a high pedestal. I mean,Obi-Wan's and Darth Vader'...

DAREDEVIL SEASON 3: An Immersive Masterpiece

                                                Marvel ’s daredevil is back and honestly there is only one word that can be used to describe the thirteen episode brilliance that is season 3 and that word is…..wow. Honestly speaking,this season is more of a direct sequel to season 1 than season 2 was which makes perfect sense because, season 2 was basically a backdoor pilot  for the Defenders and The Punisher. In fact, I can say that if you do not watch season 2 of daredevil you wouldn’t really be confused because, most of the issues being faced here are mostly from where season 1 left off. Please know that my previous statement does not in any way mean season 2 of Daredevil was bad,it was great. My only real issue was that the show trying so hard to make the hand feel like this unstoppable force. I think that was pointless because, it didn’t pay off ...

Sound of Metal movie review

It is not every time that we get to see the world through the ears of the deaf members of our society. Sound of metal follows the story of Ruben Stone (Riz Ahmed) and his girlfriend Louise (Olivia Cooke) coming to terms with Ruben’s deafness. They’re are both members of a heavy metal band, Ruben plays the drums while Louise sings. They were touring the USA when hell breaks loose, Ruben begins to lose his hearing. The movie started out as a pity ride for me (like we humans always do when we don’t understand much about medical conditions), it later panned out to be a wholesome journey I was glad I heard and felt it through Ahmed Riz’s performance, all of his hopelessness, frustration, anger was well channeled and felt. The insight offered into the deaf world from this movie makes sure to make the statement that deafness wasn’t a disability, I’m beginning to see it as a whole new world that needs to be included with other members of the society. It is not every time I get lost...

Valerian: A City Of A Thousand Planets.

     Valerian a city of a thousand planets is another evidence of critics bias and hate towards pretty much everything that isn't Disney related. You might disagree or argue all you want but it is the truth. It has 49% on rotten tomatoes which is considered the number one critic site right now. If you didn't like this movie's storyline you have to at least give it a 55% for it's extremely gorgeous visuals because this film has amazing and breath taking scenes,they're great and incredible to watch.      It stars Dane Deehan as Valerian and Cara Delevigne as his partner/love interest Laureline. They're basically futuristic space cops with the weirdest and interesting technological gear you've ever seen and they work for like this really big space station with generals and stuff like that. To summarize the film's plot,I'd say it's a sci fi space adventure about two partners uncovering the shady mistake of their government...well technically on...
