Whether I think fairytale(manga or anime) is bad is besides the point. I didn't say it was bad. I pointed out things I didn't like about it. After following several shounen anime/manga, I saw no reason to invest into another long winded story with the exactly the same out dated formula. Especially when One Piece a much superior show is still running strong. I got far into the story but it wasn't going any where unique, it didn't stand out, so I dumped it. It's just another victim of Japans habit of regurgitating the same tired ass material.

I have never read the naruto manga. I started reading fairy tale before it aired as a show so I never followed the anime. Regardless, your only objective criticism for the show even in this recent post, is that the animation was poor.
Now I am not saying Naruto is better than Fairy tale, but I haven't actually heard any real criticism of why you think it's bad.
Because i told you to look it up yourself because i'm not doing the Naruto Is Bad thing again, hell i may have even done it somewhere in this thread.
One Piece is better than Fairy Tail lol, but Fairy Tail is just One Piece light. They're the same show, so there isn't really a reason to like or dislike one over the other because they do the same thing.

For SHITRUTO GAYPUUDAN, first off this is ANIME only, because i only talk about anime because i don't care about manga at all. ANIME, it's ANIMATION. If and when the animation and/or art work is sub par, or like Naruto here, TOTAL ASS than your show is bad. .

If you'll allow me to volunteer my thoughts? As a guy who has read a bit of the Naruto manga but never seen the show I can tell you this: The manga got problems. The first of which is the art style. It's terrible. Everything is muddy and flat. Maybe it's supposed to look like old medieval Japanese art or something, but it looks bad. Things look like they were drawn with fat magic markers. Objects, even people are constantly off model and even not fully drawn. It's like the artist said "awwww to hell with it, good enough" and stopped mid panel. There's random lines scribbled everywhere and backgrounds are lazy as all hell. The writing ain't great either, particularly and by his own admission, the author can't write women. I like some of the character's like Kakashi and Bee, but it's probably the worst big-name shonen running. I have never watched the anime just because I have so much trouble enjoying the manga. A panel:

Since I'm here I'm just gonna run down my feelings on the other big shonens in their manga forms. I actually think One Piece benefits a lot from it's transition to anime. Oda packs a lot of story in every panel but the art work is often jumbled, crowded and rough and some pages consist almost entirely of densely packed word bubbles. This isn't bad necessarily, it reminds me of old marvel comics, but it's not my favorite series to read for entirely aesthetic reasons. Oda seems fond of doing these "Where's Waldo" spreads where he crams 200 characters in a small space. I kinda like those, I kinda don't, but I will commend the man on his writing.

It actually ticks me off when people say that Fairy Tail and One Piece have the same art style, actually they don't. Fairy Tail is far slicker visually the vast majority of the time. I like reading it, primarily because it's easy on the eyes. Sometimes it's author will go into rant mode similar to One Piece's author and elect to fill a page with text, but it still never gets as hard to make out what's supposed to be going on.

And finally we have my personal favorite series Bleach. Kubo has a degree in visual design and it shows, bleach always looks slick. It's only too bad Kubo never takes a break from fighting to let the characters live a little, he used to in the old days, I miss the old days. But I don't think the guy's a bad writer and I do like his occasional foray into darker subject matter. Ignoring Orihime's limited vocabulary he's also (conversely to the first entry) probably the best among his peers at writing women. Speaking of how he presents women I really like how he's got a wide range of body types represented. Too many series have universes that are chalk full of leggy models. Bleach manages to let buxom giantesses and petite flat chested girls all have representation and doesn't seem to view one as worse than the other.

You understand that Fairy Tail and One Piece aren't the same only because Toei forced them to change it right. Toei was on the verge of suing The manga-ka of Fairy Tail and it's publication company for stealing Oda's style.
ODA himself jumped in and told Toei to quit it and let Fairy Tail go on, but make.... modifications lol.
Again for the anime only. All i know is the manga has gotten a lot of talk about it looking, being, feeling just like One Piece lol

The style is still very, VERY, similar, only being that Fairy Tail adds more of the modern style of art design to it because it IS newer. Meaning One Piece would most likely look like Fairy Tail if One Piece was created more recently, as Fairy Tail was.
One Piece is still airing but they don't change for nobody, especially since it's the BIGGEST ANIME OF ALL TIME and almost single handedly keeping the anime industry alive.... so they just have Oda's style since it's what works.

Other than that, cool stuff there. Bleach looks awesome in manga form it seems and Fairy Tail looks..... the same lol, i'd say so does Sanji but i can't see jack shizz right there.

also i literally didn't understand what that Naruto segment mean't at all from that.
