I was thinking about watching a few episodes of Naruto, but I got intimidated, because there's so many episodes.
The original season 'ends' somewhere between 130-150; after that point, it's nothing but filler till Shippuuden starts up(of course, not all the filler is bad; the Hinata stuff is great, as is the final arc with the return of the Sand Ninja). Same thing happens with Shippuuden at times heh.

Also.... Endgame starts for Bleach heh.
Haha yep. Right now I'm just reading Bleach for the trolling that Kubo does.
but Ichigo looks pretty badass.
One Piece
is a joke, so I'm never going to watch any episodes.
Out of the big3, I prefer One Piece the most, but neither of them are all that great. It's the one series that's stayed away from the sort of "lol mai powurlevel is biggur than urs" concept to fighting.

I found the One Piece anime to be significantly less engaging than the Manga, when I first started watching it. The introductions and lead-ins seemed arbitrary in comparison, but once it starts to clean itself up, gets the sloppy introductions out of the way, it's just as charming and entertaining.
My two cents.

All good, I was basically trying to say, "if you give it a bit, you'll like it more," but it came out much more long-winded.
At first I nearly gave up on it, myself. It felt so slapped together. But once it gains some momentum, it's fine.

I don't think I've watched Pokemon since...I think Ash got to Celadon city? I remember the whole deal with "needing empathy with your Pokemon."
Yeah, it's been a super long time.

One Piece the anime isn't 'bad' compared to some heh, but they did have to cut out a lot of the gore on anyone other then Luffy; rubber man and all that. Also, I like all the 'Big Three' but that's just me; DBZ is still one of my all time favorites heh.

Heh, I don't; we have YTV up here, which used to have the Friday night Anime Blocks; DBZ, DB, DBGT, Witch Hunter Robin, Zatch Bell, Gundam Wing, Gundam Seed/Destiny, MAR, and a crap ton of other ones heh, including the big three at one point.

My cable provider doesn't carry that channel. T______T
Well yeah, your not in Canada lol(I don't think at least). And they cut back on the anime stuff lately, but that's mainly because they have a On Demand channel for Anime lol.

I miss when YTV played huge amounts anime. I was scrolling through the interactive guide the other day and I recognized nary a single show. I was like, "Maybe I'm getting old but...WTF is happening to this channel?"
Funky Canadian Broadcasting laws prevent us from getting many anime-heavy channels. Either there can't be a Canadian equivalent (Teletoon stops us from getting Cartoon Network,) or it has to be loaded with half-assed Canadian content (at least 60% Canadian content according to broadcasting law,) resulting in channels like MTV Canada, (bad example, but off the top of my head, my girlfriend is always watching it) which is not only a ghetto version of MTV in the first place, but its license is based off of the old "Talk Show TV" talk show rerun channel. So, by another licensing law, the channel has to have a certain percentage of talk shows.
Funky broadcasting laws. It's actually the reason YTV dropped the Funimation dub of Dragonball Z during the Cell saga and arbitrarily switched to a sudden rebirth of the Ocean dub. (Which, for the most part, was vastly inferior, in my opinion. Some voices were fine, but some were just terrible -- trying too hard to sound like the Funimation actors instead of just giving the character a voice.) Though I did meet the Canadian voice actor for Vegeta at Anime North in like 2006 or 2007. He was a pretty cool guy.
What's the selection like on the Anime on Demand channel? I admittedly have barely taken a look at it.

I admittedly have barely taken a look at it.I've never used it, but I think they have pretty much every anime that has ever aired on YTV on there; from Inuyasha(which hasn't been on real YTV since the end of the original bionix) to Sailor Moon.... which hasn't been on the actual channel since I was in high school heh. As for the channel itself... meh, pretty much all of Cartoon Network is available in some form on Teletoon, we have Canadian Nick now, but I would like some more anime brought back heh.

Well, the Anime from CN was never really available on Teletoon in a wide variety -- just the CN-made stuff, as far as I recall. I didn't realize there was a Canadian Nick though, when was that brought in?
