"Disclaimer: I don't mean to offend any Naruto-lovers, these are just my thoughts. If this offends anyone, I am sorry."
Uh ohhh :P . I'm not really a Naruto-lover, but I started watching it a couple of weeks ago and I've actually grown fond of it, at least I enjoy it far more than I thought I would have o_o.

@ Marineford: Jeez, I don't think I can ever answer that question :( . I'd have to say favorite of all time is Rurouni Kenshin because that's the series that really got me into anime as a whole. Only disappointing part was after the Shishio arc it kinda fell apart for me, but the OVAs were amazing (last one had me depressed for a week).
Great name by the way :>, definitely gotta say One Piece definitely surprised me. Three months ago I would have called it a kiddy's anime (sad 4kids is sad), but now that I've caught up it's definitely in my top 10 :0.
Edit: It's also the only anime I hope never ends ;) .

It was hard for me to get into initially (well, by initially I really mean ~100 episodes), and sometimes the story felt like it would stand still for a few episodes. But things definitely started to pick up as each arc moved along.
One of my favorite parts of it was how despite how expansive the story was, everything seemed to have some sort of significance and would come together later on. For example, there was an event that seemed very insignificant to the rest of the story in the earlier episodes that proved to be important in the mid 300s. One Piece just seems to leave no stone unturned in the story.
That's just my take on it though, I mean you gotta remember it came out in 1999, so if you're expecting it to start off with the same standards as flashy/attractive anime of today, that's just an impossibility.

Gotta love how Oda pulled that off. Never expected to see that whale again. And the way he reappeared...It was all tied together so beautiful. Binkusu no sake wo ;_;
Btw on the topic of One Piece for those interested (Marineford war+Luffy's past spoiler),
Recent chapter showed a sake cup at Ace's grave. Sabo? ^^

=======ONE PIECE SPOILER ALERT========

@ Chimera, you caught me, yohohohohoho!
As for Sabo, I really want to believe he's alive out there somewhere, but I just don't see it happening. That background story about Luffy/Ace/Sabo was great though, really felt nostalgic for some reason.

========END OF ONE PIECE SPOILER ALERT==========

Fostin4,
- Cowboy Bebop is a 26-episode series. Therefore it has a higher budget for each episode.
- Cowboy Bebop has a very good animation for its time.
- Cowboy Bebop is one of the finest anime out there, you know which examples to choose lol.
@ Ratonhaketon

*spoiler*

In the manga it seemed evident for me that Sabo was indeed killed, but for some reason when I saw it in the anime I knew for sure that he was alive. but since it's already kinda long ago I don't remember why I thought that. :P But on the other hand, we were made to believe twice that Bon Clay died, but even now he is still alive (another recent manga cover showed that).
My guess:
Sabo was saved by Dragon and is part of the revolutionary army. he will reappear in the distant future and team up with the SHs to take on the world government/celestial dragons.

*spoiler*

Nice theory, guess I just have to wait for now (kinda wish Fish man arc would end, I like when they're out on the ocean with the big players of the Grand Line).
And this is just me, but I really hope they storm Marijoa or w/e it's called one day and just put those fat Celestial Dragons in their place.
