Is Naruto Better Than DBZ?

[Skiks]

1st. I didn't said that i like the fact that Sasuke took the spotlight from Naruto. What i said is that Narutos personal story is more intriguing than Gokus.
2nd I havent watched the "Sasuke retrieval" arc.
As you said: Learn to read.

Hahaha you haven't even finished seeing the whole thing yet claim it to be better? Really it all falls apart after the arc you mention. And Sasuke sounds similar to a guy named Vegeta. Frankly at this point Naruto just lost it's purpose but at least it'll end sooner then we think.
In fact the only over rated anime in the USA is naruto not one piece. Opinions can be wrong sadly.

Not sure. I don't know how his character develops later in the story but this far it seems fair that he wants to be a hokage, even if it is just for a stupid reason. But if you think that everyone else rejects Naruto for what he has in him it is fair. Said that, aside from the characters Naruto as a series has a deeper story than DB. What the rest of the village does to Naruto is pure racism. Plus none in the show claims that being a ninja is good, they know that they are in constant war and they are only trained as ninjas to defend their village. On the other hand One Piece shows Piracy as something good.Well, guess what. It is not.



Popularity does not equal quality. I don't say it is a bad anime but as i said popularity and quality are two different things.

Ditto to that.

When d i said that? *thinks* Oh yeah never

As i said each of those series has pros and cons. I Like both Naruto, DB and One piece. My opinion is that One piece is a bit more overrated. We are all entitled to our opinion.

Considering you said One Piece is overrated. That is enough right there for anyone to think that you believe it to be garbage.

As far as fillers go.

Good ol' Goku.

I'm not gonna post some long crap post here, so i'll get straight to the point and voice out what I think.

DBZ's fights go up to 10 episodes, more or less, and Naruto's go as far as 3, more or less. The animation, comparably, Naruto's better. As for the storyline, both are reasonably good. But in my opinion, presently, since Naruto isn't done yet, there's no point in comparing it. DBZ was old, and old is gold. But Naruto isn't bad as well. None of them are overrated, if the audience likes it then it is liked, not overrated.

Naruto fights take 3 or more episodes, but the overall plot takes forever to even move anywhere. Dragon Ball Z had clear points in the plot of each arc, whereas Naruto hasn't really figured out what the hell it wants to do with everything, to the point where it relies on killing characters to go anywhere.

It doesn't matter, Yu Yu Hakusho is better than both. Why?
1. little to no filler
2. smaller cast ensures all the main characters get a decent amount of screentime and fights to win. (except Kuwabara not doing much in later arcs)
3. ended within 112 episodes. Still long but avoiding all the pitfalls associated with trying to keep the story going every week for a decade.

With all my respect to Yu Yu Hakusho, it's still not popular like DBZ or Naruto. there are more anime shows with little plots that didn't have many episodes but were pretty good, so Yu Yu Hakusho is one of them. to DBZ or GT were many different plots, so I think it was much better.

Kind of agree with you, except... well... have you ever seen the last arc of YYH? It was awful. Yu Yu Hakusho suffered from something that a lot of longer '90s anime seemed to have in common: they all went one season too far, which totally ruined it. Rurouni Kenshin suffered from this, as did DBZ, kind of (if you consider GT a 'season', which it very well could've been since it was about as long as a story arc in DBZ could've been, and if you don't consider GT a 'season', then just know that I personally would've been happy if they'd ended it after Cell). I mean, sure, the last arc of YYH had lots of backstory, but it wasn't totally necessary, and after the Dark Tournament and Sensui arcs, the Makai Tournament arc was really weak.

Your Opinion is somewhat based on how old you are, about +15 you are obviously going to Say Dragonball Z and below You'll say Naruto.

The Creator of Naruto said DBZ was a major influence in Naruto.

Dragonball Z was one of the Best animes ever, it revolutionized the Anime craze for Americans.

DBZ=Win

I actually haven't seen the last arc. Yu Yu Hakusho isn't exactly perfect though I do feel that it still does avoid some of the pitfalls of the more popular shonen fighting animes.

 

[Freya]

idk does Rave like Dragon Ball Z? I never asked him.

Probably moreso than Naruto, you know how he feels about dem ninjas.

Edit: The forum censors Dickens? God, that's lame.

Welcome to the internet, it doesnt respect good literature.

I'm on the second season of Nauto so i'm a bit hesitant as to what extent i should call Naruto better than DB but this far, at least in terms of plot it is a lot more interesting than DB was.

Considering you said One Piece is overrated. That is enough right there for anyone to think that you believe it to be garbage.

Since when the meaning of the word changed? Naruto is overrated, DB is overrated but that doesn't make them rubbish. As i said it is a matter of personal taste. Naruto this far seems more appealing to me.

Nearly every new shonen has influences from Dragon ball. One piece, Bleach Naruto etc etc so?

Dragonball Z was one of the Best animes ever, it revolutionized the Anime craze for Americans.

DBZ=Win

lol what? Best anime ever? The joke of the day... One of the best shonen sure, agree with that, but not one of the best anime.

K Rurouni Kenshin suffered from this, as did DBZ

Kenshin followed a completely different story after the Kyoto arc. I know they are fillers but i never thought of those episodes that way. For me the series just followed a different path. Anyway Kenshin had more than one filler seasons.

I still find the whole comparison weird. It is Ninjas vs Sayans. Apart from the DB influences, on Narutos behalf, and the fact that they are both Shonen they don't have much in common...

 

[lucario is best]

i love them both but im not sure wich one is best

Oh, good. Never EVER watch the final arc of Yu Yu Hakusho; it TOTALLY ruins the whole series. And I'll agree that it isn't perfect before then, but it's as close as it can get, since everything is kind of manageable power-level-wise, but they can still blow up all of Japan if necessary.

Well considering you're making insinuations that Naruto has a deeper and more well written plot than One Piece or Dragonball. It paints you as just some uninformed NaruTard. Especially when you make BS statements like One Piece overrated while you wank all over Naruto.

I'm not sure if either Naruto or Dragonball Z is better but I know what beats both of them:

Quoted for truth.

But I will say some negative criticism on DBZ:

HOW MANY TIMES IS GOKU GONNA KEEP POWERING UP TO DEFEAT [insert enemy's name here]!?

Seeing as how saskue is to busy b!tching about his clan and being emo,Dio wins by default.

Sasuke also dont got much against ZA WARUDO either. Actually it turns out Itachi is somehow a good guy for killing the clan, loose details but something about Uchihas being evil or some ****.

How much as he can. Goku at least changed his strategy occasionally (Super sayian, Genki ball, Kamehameha, Kaio attack, sun attack) so it's better than Naruto, who used only 2-3 strategies.
