    Ok, so i like Naruto and One piece and i want to get into Avatar too. I was wondering how it is in comparison to both of those shows? In terms of the battles (which has more action....fighting...better moves etc) and the storyline...such as the overall style.

    I know that you guys are going to be biast but for the few of you that like either Naruto or One Piece in addition to Avatar I would really like your opinion.

    thanks

    Well those two are translated from japanese, which the dialog and voices get all messed up and I can't stand them. I don't like either anyway. Avatar is the champion.

    No I was actually, ah forget and I've got nothing. Though I do enjoy Naruto. The non-english dubbing, before they went DBZ and gave almost all the main characters strength rivaling that of a godlike entity, and no fillers. I know, I know, but let's face it, those whiney little by-atchass anime fans were right all along. And the FMA manga is better. ...Yeah. One Piece sucks. Ok not really I just don't care for it personally. .....Yeah.

    I have not watched either of those shows but I must say that this show really is exceptionally well done, especially in the battles. If the characters are feeling rage, you don't just see it in their battling, you feel it in their battling. I, however, could not compare it to the shows you mentioned because I have not watched them so... sorry.

    Ok Avatar has alot of fighting but not as much as Naruto or One Piece as you know Naruto shows blood and stuff avatar dose not well not as much as Naruto The storyline is fair I can't say it beats Naruto or One Piece in the storyline but it dose somewhat match it better moves I would have to say Avatar and One Piece is about the same.
    I hope that helps

    I love Naruto, but in my opinion, Avatar beats it, hands down. The fighting in Avatar is just plain awesome. People may think it's worse beacuse Avatar doesn't show any blood, but the fighting's so intense that you don't even notice that. Plus, bending and jutsus's do have their similararities, so I'm sure fans of Naruto will like that aspect of Avatar.

    Plotwise, Avatar rocks. Very, very much. There's character development, romance, humor and so much more. What's good about Avatar is that it doesn't have pointless fillers that stretch on for episodes at a time like Naruto.

    I say, go to Youtube. Watch some Avatar, and get sucked into the plot. It will be one of the best decisions you'll make.

    See there that's like (crap I used like) the only thing people hit on when it comes to Naruto. Those fillers actually do have there place. Without them, the series would catch up to the manga and would have to start making up there own stories from there. God only knows what would??happen if it came to that. When you really think about it, no matter how much we hate em, every show needs it fillers. Crap this is turning into a discussion.

    Funny, that's usually what people say about Avatar But seriously Naruto and boring just don't belong in the same sentence. Also??if you really wanted to try watching the show,??i'd suggest watching the original dubbing.??For the storyline thing, I'd suggest going to Wiki. If you do I hope you're comfortable because your in for a read. Its pretty expanded, not just one fight after another like most think. Though I do believe wiki breaks it down into about four short, easy parts. I don't feel like naming them so u'know.

    I love Naruto, but I've gotta say Avatar is better, with both the plot and the fighting sequences.

    I will admit that the first couple of episodes are boring but once the zabuza arc, don't remember the arcs real name, it gets very interesting.

    Back to the topic at hand, Naruto is a very good show with alot of drama and some kickass action. I enjoy one piece but only the japanese version, american dub is a joke, avatar I have to say is honestly my favorite, as much as I like naruto Avatar is the better, one piece is just plain funny.

    Naruto is almost as good as Avatar, but only because it has Gaara and Skikamaru in it
