Thats just hard for me to believe. ;_; anyone else vouch for this?

Naruto is only good at times, these good bits dont make up for the vast majority of it which is just poor (which is a shame because Naruto had so much potential to be really great)....One Piece is actually solid nearly all of the time; by far the best

TwEeD:
Too late at night to actually make a graph but if you would visualise it:

Naruto: irregular sinus wave, goes anywhere between epic to mediocre on all it's points (storytelling, animation/direction quality, etc...). Fillers are quite bad but at least sometimes try to tie with cannon.

Bleach: strong positive start which falls down to mediocre after the SS-Arc ... occassional peaks of epicness but they are far and few between. Storytelling goes from good to a complete mess. Fillers are mostly mediocre and after bount arc doesn't even try to fit in cannon anymore.

One Piece: Starts slow but keeps on building and expanding with only a few little drops (in canon-material) as it can't stay epic all the time (but it damn well tries to ... Whitebeard Saga was phenomenal). Solid storytelling, lovable characters, very expansive universe and awesome buildup. Fillers are few and mostly quite good + tie in with the cannon.

Summary:

Bleach: Strong beginning turned to shit
Naruto: Inconsistent quality
One Piece: Consistent and get's better and better

I loved Bleach until Kubo screwed it completely up (last arc was like a fanfic), I love Naruto but it's sometimes quite hit and miss, I adore One Piece as it does so much right on so many levels. It clearly is in a league of it's own and rightly deserves it's popularity

So you're interested in picking it up, yet ask us why you should do so. In my eyes what you're doing now is trying to find excuses as to why you will or won't watch it.

Just start watching it, it's a fuckton of episodes and you won't be watching all 500+ in a month (if you did I'd be very worried lol) take your time to try it out and decide for yourself if you enjoy watching it or not. Bottomline is we can't tell you that you'll like it, nor will anyone else.
There's plenty of "haters" among the fanbase of OP/Bleach/Naruto that trash talk the other shows every other hour. And likely you won't find these extremes as much on bbt, but people will still have a quite a bias towards one or the other. So I'm not really seeing what benefit you'd get from asking.

Though I'll still answer your question on why I like OP over Naruto in order of importance.

Having a straw hat is way cooler than having a nine tailed demon inside of you.
I'll watch a pirate over a ninja any day of the week.
Luffy is made of rubber.
Did I mention the straw hat yet?
OP has next to zero fillers.

You have far too much free time TwEeD :D
