Exactly. Naruto may have been the best at a time(not really though. It never beat One Piece in sales so in Japan its not the best at all) but right now it is crap. The only reason its so popular in the Western world is due to it getting into more popular channels and staying in said channels for a long time and getting tons of advertising. OP and Bleach didn't get the same treatment.
