Fairy Tail wasn't great either (it depends a lot on how it follows up).
I think the best was One Piece.
One Piece was the "best" if only for a decent ending but it could have been so much more if Oda didn't spread this plot so damn thinly around several plot points.
This, btw, is part of why I like Naruto and Fairy Tail more. There's just more stuff happening outside of arc climaxes.

I click surprise me to see if I can find anything new to read. This is only a one chapter manga but yeah I liked it. Better than the Big Three.
Yea, a new anime would be good.

I've kinda been less interest in the shounen manga recently. Naruto's good, but it's on the same big epic fight without much to talk about. OP has had fairly bleh stories in a row and some of the characters haven't interested me since the skip. Bleach is actually improving... but on a 5 week break, and of course, it's Bleach. Fairy Tail had some really badass moments during the tourney but after that was pretty weak. So all in all I'm having less to talk about with them recently.
