lol I take back what I said about Shippuuden being faster paced. The meeting with the spy is quite possibly even slower than the beginning of the first series.

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking. If you want the last episode of a completed arc, I believe episode 112 is it. Episode 113 started the new story arc. Shippuuden is faster paced than the original, but it's got slower episodes of course.

I've been watching One Piece and I'm up to almost 50 now. It's been excellent and probably better than Naruto and Bleach, but I'm not sure yet.

Haha, oh wow, I never even heard of One Piece, although it seems to be one of the most popular titles and also very highly rated. 400 episodes?! It's a behemoth!

Yeah, end of story arc was what I had in mind. Thanks, I'll keep in mind that I shouldn't go past 112.

One Piece is similar to Naruto, but with Pirates instead of Ninjas. I always thought ninjas would be cooler, but pirates might win now

I also just wanted the new Hajime no Ippo. So I was wrong 2 weeks ago, this was the final episode of this series. It was solid and I hope season 2 starts ASAP.

Hahaha wow, I just found out that Naruto and Gon from Hunter X Hunter are given voice by the same person, who is... a woman.

O_o

On another note, man these fillers are annoying. First episode into the arc with Sora, Fire Temple and grave robbers I knew it's a damn filler. Just nowhere near the same level of quality. Ugh, at least it's over...

I've been watching One Piece and I'm at episode 127. It has been excellent, but at the same time I'm getting really tired of the cliches. I'm so tired of people that die in battle - not actually dieing. It's annoying seeing people always coming back and fake-killing characters just to get me to watch the next episode. One Piece is really bad at following all of the cliches so far.

Really though, One Piece is amazing.l It's one of the best animes I've ever watched. I think it's better than Naruto and Bleach and even though its 400+ episodes, I plan on watching them all.

[Vantek]

Cool, I'll check it out =) lol 400 episodes... Good luck with that! :D

Could you give a comparison with other similar animes (I've watched Naruto, FMA, HxH)? Is it generally the same kind, just with pirates?

[Trikkur]

Yea, it's pretty much Naruto but with pirates instead of ninjas. I think the story line is better and the characters are better as well.

Also, I think I've watched too much anime. I've recognized voice actors a few times. In One Piece, one of the bad guys is actually Aoki from Hajime no Ippo.

Watching FMA now. I'm regretting for not picking it up sooner. Will possibly download Hajime No ippo also

I've watched 10 episodes of Seirei no Moribito (Guardian of the Sacred Spirit). I love the audiovisuals and the atmosphere, but I can't help but want more action :P A LOT more. Oh well, it's just not that kind of anime. Though I'm a bit sad that that the animes packed with action are typically so shallow. I mean that's good too, but I'd like some more deeper kind of action as well lol.
