Best manga ever published is kinda stretching it. Negima is pretty good, but it's not amazing.

Sounds like a correct assessment.

I honestly think Naruto is the better series anyhow (Dodges a Grenade)

What?

[up] You know what? I thinks so too. (Dodges a sniper round) Sure, the series have flaws. A LOT of them, to be honest, namely Sasuke and whatnots, but there's just so many good things that more than compensates for it. Naruto is obscenely popular, not in Twilight popular, for a reason, you know.

Now he just needs to take some of his brothers power level from This series and apply it to his manga at the end of the series.

IT'S STILL BETTER THAN NEGIMA!

If you ask me, the best shonen manga of all time would have to Full Metal Alchemist.

If you ask me, I'd say it's a bad idea of speak of an inherently subjective quality in absolute terms, especially when you're dealing with an extremely wide pool of possibilities.

I mean, have you personally read every manga out there? No? The you're not qualified to comment on which one's the best.

[down]I did not. That phrase isn't much of a qualifying statement. You wanted 'my favourite' or something like that.

^^ I'm allowed to. I'm the world's only possessor of an objective opinion. Whatever I say is true.

Joking aside, I'm not going to argue the point.

It's a matter of flame bait-ish phrasing when there were already a lot of flame bait-ish statements in absolute terms being thrown around.

That's because you are looking too hard.

Do people still throw around absolute terms nowadays? I thought, at least hoped, that people brightened up by now.

Oh god. Gilphon. Absolute terms? I think that when anybody says that "XX is the BEST", it's a given that it's that person's own subjective opinion. Does anybody seriously think that their own personal favorites are definitely the BEST in any objective, absolute way? There's no such thing as being objectively "the best". Don't be ridiculous. Just because I don't feel the need to qualify everything I say with "YMMV" and "IMHO", doesn't mean that I think that what I say is absolutely right and everybody else is wrong. Seriously.

Though I do think that the idea that Naruto > Negima is laughable. IMHO.

I think I'm going to stick "IMHO" to every single sentence I post in these forums from now on. IMHO.

(shrugs) Well, fuck you. grin

I love Full Metal Alchemist. I'm saving the money so I can buy all the volumes and the (Brotherhood) DVDs. I don't usually buy manga series that is over 20 volumes, but FMA? I'm willing to make an exception. I just love it that much.

No, if we're talking the best anime instead of the best manga, it's got to be Twin Peaks.

All I'm trying to do is warn people off from saying things that will provoke more lengthy and pointless arguments.

It's not working out very well for me.
