Since people brought up both in the other thread I figured you can debate them here
Which do you enjoy more? It is a testament to One Piece and it's writers that they have been able to keep this up for as many years as they have. I only casually follow One Piece now a days compared to how I used to back in the day. Luffy is a main character I feel doesn't get enough love in "mainstream" but maybe that could be One Piece in general.
Fairy Tail seems to be on it's ending arc and I'm not disappointed as it started to lose steam for me a while back. Natsu is a fun main character and I do like how he has his faults but can rebound and be better.

I haven't seen as much of Fairy Tail, but I feel like I enjoy it more. One Piece's story arcs drag on forEVER.

I prefer Fairy Tail especially the manga with the whole E.N.D stuff.
But as far as the shows yea Fairy Tail for me I just prefer the overall characters and how things play out in it more.

Unquestionably, One Piece.

One Piece, please!
Yeah, it drags forever, but least it doesn't have Erza Motherf***ing Scarlett!
God, one of the most overpowered characters in fiction. Defeated apparitions by just STARING at them! I'm so glad it's coming to an end so we don't have to see her ever again.

I liked One Piece better when it was called Dragon Ball Z. And I liked that show better when it was just Dragon Ball. And Hokuto no Ken is better than all of them.
Yeah, I don't really "get" One Piece. I have no feelings whatsoever towards Fairy Tale. Just wanted the reference joke.

That demon takes away all of her senses and puts her through blistering pain, but she just gets up and beats the snot out of her, in spite of not knowing where Kyouka is. Essentially forfeiting all drama involving Erza in the future, as if she wasn't already the Queen of Ass Pulls prior to that fight. And, these ass pulls were the main reaosn why Minerva Orlando turned good in the end, in spite of all Minerva did because of her hatred of Erza. You don't see those happening in One Piece. |

Yeah... when somebody mentions Fairy Tail, it gets my blood boiling, so I have to refrain from further discussion on it.

One Piece easily. Oda's story writing, foreshadowing, and world building is unreal. I enjoyed Fairy Tail, but I've slowly lost interest.

Yea that's one of the reasons I don't follow Fairy Tail every week anymore. The E.N.D shit is okay but it took to damn long to get there and a lot of unneeded stalling. |

Never read or watched One Piece but I read a bit of Fairy Tail and really liked it. I also loved Hiro Mashima's previous series, Rave (or Rave Master in English). Fairy Tail does feel like it is better planned ahead as Rave did occasionally feel like Mashima was making it up on the fly, although never jarringly so in my opinion, and it didn't really matter to me as the characters and the world they lived in was the best part and the whole thing had a strong Final Fantasy feel to it (and considering I was even more hugely into Final Fantasy when this story was being printed than I am now, obviously I loved it). I also remember Rave having excellent character development, with them becoming increasingly mature and layered as the story went on.
Also, the design of the main characters from Fairy Tail is very obviously recycled from Rave, but I don't mind.
So the answer is Fairy Tail because it feels like a more polished Rave and Rave was already very good.

One Piece annoyed the shit out of me. It was the most anime looking anime to ever anime. When people make fun of that style, One Piece is what I think of.

One Piece always manage to make things fresh somehow(even if a couple of arc aren't up to standard)
Fairy Tail somehow got old really fast. Oda is just a better storyteller and creates better characters.

I like the One Piece manga better than the Fairy Tail one... But the One Piece anime is absolutely dreadful to watch, it just goes on and on and on with the first 5 minutes being a recap of the last episode's 5 minutes of gasping surprise. Just thinking about it makes me want to throw myself off a cliff. I think the Fairy Tail anime is one of the better super-long-fighting-show animes there is, the story arcs are all seem fairly short compared to most so the pacing doesn't make you want to tear your hair out.
Both art and character wise I think it is a wash. I think the front line Straw Hats are fun and interesting, but the 2nd Tier guys are kinda... Meh. I, personally, feel a more emotional connection to the Fairy Tail characters, I think a larger number of them are better fleshed out. I've never cut onions during One Piece but I have teared up several times in Fairy Tail, as lame as it sounds, particularly the Mavis storyline.
When it comes to the meat of it I will say, and agree that, One Piece's battles do seem to have a more logical flow of X Beats Y Because of Z. You can more often see the solution so the outcome makes sense. Fairy Tail does often gloss over stuff with "The Will To Win" (Or in its case "The Strength of a Guild Where Everyone is Friends! Yay!!!"). And stuff.

Yeah, to relate with PN above me, just read the VIZ-translated manga. The anime is so inferior to the actual original stuff.

CP9 Arc was wonderful for that I,in the other rarely cried with Fairy Tail.And i`m very easy to make cry |
