Which is the best written anime in big 3?

Gonna have to argue One Piece- of the Big Three, it's the only that has been CONTINUOUSLY running.

Naruto technically came to a natural conclusion, but I've heard arguments that everything in what the anime calls Shippuden is not great, and the War arc was ruined by the Kaguya stuff from nowhere.

Bleach... well, I've heard that Bleach ultimately crashed and burned, and that the very first arc remains the best.

I respect your opinion but I think I didn't understand the question 😅. I was asking interms of writing. Most people watch anime not for their story but for enjoyment and they don't bother paying attention to the story so it's only natural for them to choose one piece. Also I was comparing their manga not anime. Sorry I should have wrote that in the topic.😅 If you haven't read Naruto or Bleach give it a try. They may not be more enjoyable than one piece but their story is much better written. Just try to understand the story and their depth,you will love it.

I have read Naruto- again, gotta say One Piece is still more well-written.  It's not perfect, but its characters have deep backstories (often extremely tragic), the plot is overarching, and many controversial things are touched upon such as war crimes, slavery, racial discrimination, etc.  Oh, and despite their designs, the female characters are EXTREMELY well-written.

Naruto... let's be honest, the vast majority of the plot is about Naruto trying to bring back Sasuke.  Do you want me to start on how the female characters all got tossed to the side in terms of writing?

 

Though I do admit that I can't comment much on Bleach- never read it, especially once all the complaints were about the writing becoming terrible at the end.

Bleach is the worst written of the three with One Piece in the lead. It is not, in any way, fair to say that Bleach's writing dropped off after the first arc. That's a Redditor level ignorant take if I'm being brutally honest. It was rushed at the very end as are many high profile manga unfortunately but the quality stayed steady up to the Fullbring arc.

Hello fellow anime fan! That's a tough question since all three of the Big 3—Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece—bring something unique to the table in terms of writing. But if we're talking about next-gen storytelling, I’d like to highlight Boruto Two Blue Vortex.

After Naruto's incredible legacy, many doubted whether Boruto could live up to its predecessor. But Two Blue Vortex has proven to be a masterpiece in its own right. The time skip has elevated the stakes, refined the characters, and given the story a more mature tone. Boruto’s transformation into a hardened, self-reliant hero mirrors the best of Naruto's underdog journey, but with a darker, more complex edge. The themes of betrayal, power, destiny, and sacrifice hit harder, especially with how Sarada’s unwavering loyalty and Kawaki’s haunting antagonism play into the plot.

The writing brilliantly balances nostalgia with innovation, creating a perfect blend of old and new fans. The pacing, world-building, and character dynamics are at a level that rivals the best arcs of Naruto. It’s like seeing the legacy of the Shinobi world evolve in real-time. For anyone who gave up on Boruto early on, Two Blue Vortex is the redemption arc the series deserved and one you shouldn’t miss.

What’s your pick from the Big 3, and have you checked out Boruto yet?"

In my opinion Naruto is the best written among the big 3. It's fantastic story,masterclass character writing, side plots, depth and matured storyline is the best for me.

Naruto definitely has that emotional depth and character growth that hits hard! The way it balances personal struggles, friendships, and epic battles is top-tier. Plus, the themes of perseverance and redemption? Chef’s kiss. It’s no wonder it stands out in the Big 3 for so many fans. Totally get why it’s your favourite!

If I had to pick, I’d say One Piece is the best written overall because of how well it ties everything together over its massive story. But honestly, all three have their highs and lows, and it really comes down to personal preference.

In this official spoiler breakdown for Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 24, YouTuber Naruto Explained dives into the early plot details revealing that Kawaki is battling Jura using his Karma Seal (Version 1). The fight is intense, with Kawaki showing impressive strategy and battle IQ, targeting Jura’s kidney area with precision. Despite Jura holding his own and dodging some attacks, Kawaki appears to be outperforming Boruto from the previous chapter, though not in a way that diminishes Boruto’s strength.

Interestingly, Kawaki hasn’t tapped into his full power yet (Version 2 Karma), likely holding back to avoid pushing Boruto into a situation where Momoshiki takes over. The video also highlights that both Kawaki and Jura have yet to go all out, suggesting the fight could escalate further.

The rest of the video includes a sponsored segment by Fume, and a reminder that full spoilers will drop early next week. Fans are advised to stay alert for more updates and avoid spoilers if they prefer reading the chapter fresh when it officially releases on July 17th.

I like One Piece but I enjoy the way the Naruto story is written more and felt more emotional attached to those characters than I have in OP. I think the OP story is good and appreciate that it's still ongoing but I don't feel emotional attachment to the character the same way.

I'm partial to Naruto for the fact that I think the characters were the best written as well. I enjoy the storyline of the manga much more than the others too.

I have a hard time deciding between One Piece and Naruto because both are good in their own way. Bleach is alright but I don't think it's good as either of those 2. I guess One Piece got me hooked a little more than Naruto even though I grew up liking Naruto the most.

Me too, I enjoy Bleach more over the other two.
