Which is better Naruto, Bleach, Or Fullmetal Alchemist?

D

Darth Naruto

Brigade Leader
I've always beeen wondering which one is better but Its more of a 50/50 % chance with me. i want to know your opinion 8)

ok so far:

FMA
7 :eek:

Naruto
0 :shock:

Bleach
0
 
I dont really like any of them that much anymore (Bleach I dislike the most though). Naruto's filler is dire, Bleach has some real pacing problems and crap music, FMA the film kind of ruined the series for me, pretty bad ending IMO.
 
FMA is a lot different from what i've seen of Bleach and Naruto. I'd go with full Metal Alchemst, I enjoyed it from start to finish and that includes the movie. From what i've seen of Naruto and Bleach they didn't really hold my interest.
 
Full Metal Alchemist. This isn't even a contest.

Bleach and Naruto are entertaining, but exhibit many of the problems associated with animating long shonen action series. Like their pacing in general even before commercial realities like filler come into question.

Bones, with Square ENIX full support, made a brave decision to forge a new ending for an incomplete manga, and the result speaks for itself, the main strengths of the series are in its second half. As a result FMA has got excellent pacing and buildup, a superb ending and denouement. Its genuinely surprising and it perfectly illustrates the growth and developing maturity of the lead character, which is pretty much the central theme of these series.
 
FMA>>>Bleach>>>Naruto

FMA anime is great, but the ending sucks. Bleach and Naruto are just DBZ with swords and with ninjas now... which is sort of lame. =/
 
I really liked the ending to FMA. I did prefer the way the series ended a little more than the way the movie ended the series. Both were left open and there could be a continuation after the movie in it's own way(although I hope there won't be) but the way the series ended was so bittersweet that it gave it the edge over the movie. Although I still did greatly enjoy the movie.
 
FMA is the odd one out here... as it isn't a long-running shounen series like the other two are. Having said that, it beats both the Naruto and Bleach animes in terms of overall quality.
 
Yep, FMA all the way...
The other two are ok shounen-jump action series', which are fine in and of themselves I guess, but there's just no contest with FMA. Plotwise and characterwise it leaves them in the dust.
 
I choose Bleach! It's not as patchy as Naruto... (I've only seen episode 1 of Alchemist so I can't judge too harshly...)
 
FMA is technically the best series out of this trio, but as a personal favourite, I wouldn't rate it much futher ahead of Naruto (pre filler, at least). Bleach isn't close to either of these shows.
 
After you have seen a couple of JUMP-style action shows you start to see a pattern. Its a pretty good formula hence it is always repeatedly enjoyable but they will always start to expose the same flaws.

Many of them are only slight variations of the same theme, familiar from even before Dragonball/Z. Naruto has an interesting and varied cast, and a cool setting. Bleach ups the maturity level a bit, One Piece & Gash Bell get very imaginative (I am being a bit harsh on One Piece here). And then there is stuff that pretty much sticks to the formula like Beet the Vandel Buster and Hunter X Hunter.

But mostly the hard commercial realities of animating a lengthy manga that isn't planned to complete for several years, mean that the pacing is not driven by the animation production team, and pace killing filler is required. Also it is rarely possible to create a satisfying ending to these series, as the TV shows frequently end before the manga completes.

WHAT HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT IT ROCKS! the ending the best part of it *dies of shock*
 
It's a hard one because i think i would certainly rate all three in my top 5, but my favourite is probably Bleach, though with Naruto and FMA close behind :)
 
how on earth could you put anything before FMA it is the besssssttt! but im just saying that cause i havent really seen naruto ive just read the first volume and i think FMA is better and i really dont know about Bleach

To be honest Paul, they're both the same really, just with Ninjas and one with Shinigami, typical shounen anime/manga.

If you are further in FMA and have only read 1 volume of Naruto and nothing of Bleach don't post, now away with you.
 
Okay people I love FMA to hell (well who wouldnt if you found out theres a character with your name in it and the storyline rocks like hell) but in this case I'm voting for Naruto due to the fact that it is very humerous and I love the action in it ^_^. I hate the damn people who say "It's DBZ with ningas in it" well first of all I used to hate DBZ like hell and why would i like naruto if it's almost the same as DBZ only with ninjas? And about bleach I don't think I'll be interested in it because it sounds crap from the looks of it.If you can DarthNaruto give it a -1 :p.
