Well, since I haven't watched any of these three anime, I would vote for "Kyo Kara Maoh" for now.

Among the choices above, One Piece is excellent. This coming from someone who normally has nothing but disdain for the average long-running shounen anime. I'm definitely going to have to get both the Skypia and the Enies Lobby arcs when Funimation starts releasing the Uncut One Piece boxsets.

LOL. All the people who say OP sucks have only seen the dub.

Anyhoo, as for my favorite, I'm not sure if it's a shonen or a seinen series but I like s-CRY-ed. I like the action, story, and characters a lot. I also like how the dimensional theories tie very closely into their alter power (VERY similar to FMA's gate and alchemic origins, but their powers are a lot like X-Men or Jojo's Bizarre Adventure) Very awesome series, I cant believe Adult Swim took it off

Well, I haven't seen the anime at all. I've only read the One Piece manga. Is it different or something?

Well, both official English releases were screwed up (anime more so than the manga, but still...). The anime was beyond butchery. All alcohol and tobacco was removed, guns were changed to Super Soakers or cork guns, all blood was removed, names were changed, entire arcs were skipped, all references to death were taken out, voicing is terrible, ect. The VIZ manga release has problems too, they decided to follow suit with 4Kid's name changes (Zoro to Zolo, Ace to Trace, ect.), and they are quite poorly translated.

Watch sub on Youtube or read scanlations

Or you can get the FUNimation uncut boxsets when they are released, They are supposedly very affordable and well priced. I think its worth it. Considering that One Piece is shown in High Definition in Japan, the Video transfer should be excellent. Also, FUNimation will be producing their own dub, faithful to the original, unlike the butchered 4kids dub.

Hmm... I haven't heard anything about that. Can you show me a link? Anyhoo, the one thing I hope they dont change is Marc Dirasen as Zoro's VA.

Although I assume you've already verified the information for yourself :)
