Nickelodeon (ended 2008)
It goes something like this:
Action: Naruto
Storyline: Naruto
Characters: Naruto
Everything else: Avatar
one piece flat out??sux, so I didn't even add it to the equation.
Naruto and Avatar are two really different shows. ??I???ve seen every episode of both and Avatar is more about plot and characters, Naruto is more about action.
??In Naruto the action moves the plot. While in Avatar the plot moves the action. Often times in Naruto you will get fight scenes between minor characters that span three episodes (This is pretty much all of the Rescue Sasuke arc until the final fight). Also most of the dialog in these fights is about battle strategies and explaining exactly what their attack did. ??Normally throughout the fight the character goes through some significant change, because of the fight (Rock Lee vs. Garraa, Naruto vs. Neji, ect.) Also in the middle of fights we will get flashbacks where we learn more about the character.
Avatar isn???t like that at all. It spends most its time on developing the characters and moving its plot with zero fighting. Then almost every episode it will have a five to ten minute fight scene where it is nothing but fighting. ??There is almost no talking, no long explanation of every silly move. Just really awesome and fluid fight scenes.
Personally I like Avatars style better. You get to know the characters better. Even though Avatar only has one-fifth the amount of episodes as Naruto, I understand the main characters just as much. I also find the action in Avatar much more enjoyable because it isn???t being interrupted every few minutes.
But really its up to you which style you prefer.

That about sums it up doesn't it? Well he actually didn't mention one piece but I wouldn't regard since I still don't get why exactly those two shows were picked. Well maybe Naruto..????

i can't stand One Piece(all cuz of the terrible dub), but Naruto is a great show too...when Naruto has action its action is almost DBZ level...but when they aren't fighting there isn't any real drama...maybe a story but the drama is all in fighting(Will Rock Lee somehow turn it around n beat Gaara?) but in Avatar, you're held with drama cuz of the story i mean banished prince looking to reclaim his honor and surpass his prodigy of a sister...for me its 1. Avatar 2. Naruto and One Piece is so far down on the list is underground...

| The english dubbed version of Naruto completely SUCKS. So Avatar definetely is better than it. The japanese version is almost as good as avatar, though. (And no, I'm not asian, I'm African American, so thats not why I think the english version is lame) |
Dude, everyone points out the dubbing thing.

*Naruto Spoiler* I don't think Lee will ever fight gaara, because Gaara saves his life later on. |
