Yeah as much as I love One Piece it's hard to recommend because I'm afraid people will drop it at the very beginning, later on it's peak

Uzumaki Khan

Hold on was haku moment in the first 20 episodes?? if it was i change my mind lol

Brother E

That first arc of Naruto was completely phenomenal, just one of the best introductions in an anime. 1. Naruto 2. One Piece 3. Bleach 4. Fairy Tail

Maxer

Yep

محمد شيشتر

All of them are definitely amazing but bleach hit so different for me🔥

Uzumaki Khan

yh man i agree, first 20 episodes was difficult to watch, i could not get use to that art style for some reason

Brother E

Yeah Haku & Zabuza was the first arc in Naruto

Uzumaki Khan

ahhh thats close then, probably between naruto and bleach, might just have to go with naruto because of that zabuza fight

Uzumaki Khan

first 20 episodes of one piece was better than bleach??? LOOL man hell NO!!!

Brother E

First 20 episodes of One Piece had better world building than first 20 episodes of Bleach, but I would agree Bleach was able to capture the emotional aspect much quicker.

Johnn

First 20? I would go with bleach. One piece didn't really get there until much later in the arcs. Surprisingly, Bleach in the first few episodes had a lot of feels moment. Chad and the lil parakeet and Orihime and her brother. Overall I would rank one piece. First 20 episodes has to go to bleach though

Aaron dee

First 20 imo is bleach FT or Naruto one piece first 20 was slow after mihawk vs zoro which was episode 23 or 24 I think is when it really turned up and Naruto if I rank it imo it would be 1 bleach 2 Naruto 3 fairy tail 4 one piece

Johnn

First 20 episodes for me would be 1. Bleach 2. Naruto 3. One piece. Early OP eps were a struggle to watch ngl

Sam Shackleton

I find that Bleach has the strongest first two arcs in shonen, but dips in quality later. One Piece is the opposite of that; weaker start but very strong later. Fairy Tail is roughly the same throughout for me.

SonicNinja16

1.Bleach 2.Naruto 3.One Piece 4.Fairy Tail

Hansi

You can watch opening 23 of one piece now btw, not opening 24 yet.

Uzumaki Khan

If i could of mods would of told me, and plz bro can we NOT talk about openings or anything, this post if for the first 20 episodes only, not saying u will spoil but others may leave hints

Jumboregent

Uzumaki khan mario kart series was goated 2 bad episode 100 never got realised heueheueehe

sensei_chrollon

Personally, I loved the start of one piece(even stuff like orange town and syrup village) but if I had to rank it would be Naruto > OP=Bleach. Saw like 15 episodes of fairy tail eons ago but don't really remember much so I can't comment on that.

Hansi

Alright sorry but you can ask your mods about that if you want

RENGOATKU

No anime better 20 first than demon slayer

RENGOATKU

That 19 ep slaps

Pardock

But Demon Slayer is much much shorter, no wonder it gets to the good parts earlier

LinkedHero

Nothing beats land of waves

chad

BLEACH has the best first/second season in all of Shonen probably. It's not really comparable. Naruto is second. One Piece/Fairy Tail first seasons are just blegh. lmao.

Unholy

Bleach has the best first 63 eps of the classic big shonens imo

ᴘᴀɴᴅᴏʀᴀ

Bleach has been an absolute blast to watch with you Khan, I think before I rewatched it with you I would’ve put Naruto ahead… but, ICHIGOAT!

Matt

I give the edge to Naruto. Bleach does have a great start though. The problem with Bleach is everything after the great start lol

Matt

The Arc after this one is still pretty good. After that it's really terrible. It makes the 4th Great Ninja War look like a master piece lol.

ichigoat24

one piece i think is the greatest anime ever and they call me ichigoat but naruto in my personal opinion had the best first 20 sodes

Matt

Well yeah, most things of this nature are debatable lol. But there's a reason why a large part of the fanbase shares my opinion.

RNG Master

The first 60 episodes of bleach compared to the first 60 episodes of any show bleach comes out on top trust me

Lulu

Huh? Soul Society arc is a million times better than these first 20 setup episodes no debate. None of these series have amazing starts and that's because series back then were planned to have hundreds of chapters. Now things get axed left and right and the pacing has increased 1000x to hook readers so they don't get axed 3 chaps in.

Lulu

That's all anime these days. They have instant gratification because that's how jump is structured in this decade. You have to hook the readers quick else you get axed 3 chapters in. Bunch of cool "epic" moments and really fast pacing seems cool at the start (and appeals to zoomers lol) but when your series ends up being 200-300 chaps it really lacks depth and quality of the older series that span 2-3x longer. This is not to say that longer = better, but I think the nature of jump being so competitive forces authors to focus on the NOW more than anything else.

Vistq

ICHIGOAT SLAPS

Matt

This is only comparing the first 20 episodes. By episode 20 the entire Land of the Waves already finished. Episode 20 of Bleach the Soul Society just started.

Potato

TBH i'd give it to HxH 2011 if it was on this poll

Gambeno

Bleach no question.

Razyel22

Definitely Bleach, that anime ropes you in very quickly. It's a lot shorter than Naruto and One Piece though, so I guess that is required.

Xo1717

Bleach no shit but I’m going with one piece 🏃‍♂️

MartiNReacTs

While Bleach in those 20episodes really sets up most stuff really well and gets you hyped up for a big arc, Naruto gets one whole solid arc done... for that reason I am going with Naruto

Hansi

I mean Zoro's, Usopp's and Luffy's backstory were under the first 20 episodes + our lord and savior Buggy D. Clown

Kamui

That would definitely be Naruto or Bleach

Smilee

For me its naruto , the zabuza arc just hit different

Smilee

Even gintama had better first 20 episodes than onepiece lmao

Nash_Eugene

1. Bleach 2. Fairy tail 3. Naruto 4. One piece

GS

It's the music of Bleach that grabbed me. "Battle ignition" is a classic. Plus, the character designs outclass almost every other shonen.
