Which of the three currently most popular shounen in the world right now is your favorite? Is it Naruto, Bleach, or One Piece? Why? What makes your number one choice of the three better to you than the other two?
If you know of other shounen that are not on this list that you think are better than these three then explain why.
Everyone please be sure explain and elaborate sufficiently. Thanks. ^_^

Bleach. For sure. I do not like One Piece at all, period. I think the jokes are lame, the characters are paper thin, and that the overall plots get repetitive. I also do no like Naruto at all. I DO love the deepness of the characters, but I do not like how things progress and overall, I think it is a boring anime/manga. That leaves BLEACH

sigh kinda tough decision and i'm not gonna wuss out on an answer by saying unsure , but i'm gonna say one piece. though i would normally have said bleach(anime-wise) or naruto(manga-wise) i like one piece better. I feel like its deeper and well, just a hell of a lot funnier. It just speaks random stupidity to me and that means funny in my book. The battles and array of characters are pretty unique in my opinion as well. Although i was a little dissapointed when i learned of the vast array of devil fruit (i thought Luffy was gonna be special in that aspect), but at the same time it gave for some pretty awesome powers (somewhat

).

I chose Naruto because it's the only one I have time to watch.

Well, I don't like One Piece period and I haven't read or seen much of Bleach, so I say Naruto. I like the music from the anime, the serious scenes, the fights that seem to have outcomes in which the guys with the "better" motives don't always win, and the character growth.

I will defintly go with Naruto. One Piece I have never liked. Everything about it makes no sense and all the characters appear to have been quickly sketched out and taken from old ideas. I haven't really gotten into Bleach, being only on Vol. 2, but it hasn't grown on me enough to choose it as a favorite. Naruto is my obvious choice. The characters grow and expand after every battle and they seem to be well-thought out (unlike One Piece). As the characters grow the plot grows,(except for fillers of coarse. lol.), and thus continues to rein by having a Naruto Shipuuden.

So then say why FMA is your favorite shounen and why it is better than the other three above.

oh well...I just said that I consider FMA better than the other three...
but... it's my favorite shounen because it is!!! And cant it be???? Am I supposed to give you a reason to like of a shounen or something?
and it's better than the othe three because I don't like ninja stuff and I don't like One Piece, I think it's not the style I like. And Bleach.. ummm... let's just say I don't think I like it so much that I can choose it.
So, I'm still thinking if FMA was there, I'd choose it! u.u
dai me paciência!

I already know that FMA appeals to you more than the other three. I was simply asking why.

Because I asked all those who posted their opinions to explain why. Everyone else so far has cooperated.

so would it be:
-you like the theoryism (views on god/religion, alchemy theories, science laws, social/political theories, dimensional theories)
-the alchemic magic-science
-the story
-the characters?
