Sometime recently, I had the idea of perhaps watching some anime again. To be frank, I haven`t seen much of it but what I have seen till now was good. However, I still haven`t watched some of the more popular shows and I`m indecisive which one to see. I`m trying to pick between Naruto, Bleach and Full Metal Alchemist. So I`m asking any anime fan on Chubbs to advise me which one of these is the most worth watching. Yes, I know, I know...it depends on my taste. But I want to know your opinion.

I'd go with FMA. Mostly because the series is over, so you don't have to worry about trying to keep up, or anything like that.
Its also only 50-some episodes, versus the 130+ and counting of the other two.

And it's freaking hott. I love that series. . .the first few arcs were kind of creepy in a weird way, but I liked it.

Of those three series, I think FMA deals with the most adult themes. Bleach is a lot more action, and not much depth, and Naruto is... well... in Shonen Jump.

Watch all three. Why you have to choose between three?

Well he could want to watch One Piece, which is 250+ something episodes.
Anyhow, I've almost completely given up on Naruto(again). FMA is good, but nothing really appealed to me before the middle of the Homunculus arc. Bleach has a good mix to me, and thats why I continue to keep up/watch it.
I'd say watch FMA, finish it, and then probably go with Bleach. One Piece is good too imo, even though its in Shonen Jump. P:

Bleach is getting pretty boring. Shipuuden is real hot right now.

Shippuden* >.> Lol.
I used to get the scanlations, but I just fell out of it. It was cool that Naruto stopped being a narutard while he trained for his new jutsu(No spoiler ftw?). Other than that and some other things, it really hasn't caught my attention, thats why I haven't watched it.
Ooh, Jackie. You should check out Full Metal Panic! if you haven't already. The series is completed(anime wise, for now?). Its really good, and I think you would get a kick out of FMP? Fumoffu.

Hasn't caught your attention. Are you off your head? They are about to fight the Akatsuki (oops spoiler) Actually we all knew that was coming.

Really, his new jutsu, and his transformation are the only things that caught my attention, everything else was.. ~.~ somehow like the rest of naruto. Don't get my wrong, I'm not saying that them fighting akatsuki isn't cool, just.. eh. Something about it doesn't keep me interested like that.
However the same thing in Bleach(zomg ichigo in hm? wtfz) is.

Personally? I hate Shippuden. :o Kishimoto's making his Gary Stu (Sasuke) make out to be some sort of super hero, when in reality he's a backstabbing traitor, with only revenge on his mind. It's practically nauseating how powerful Sasuke's become. =[ But if you're a fan of super-powered action, then give Naruto a try.
Also, FMA is gold plot-wise. It's definitely an anime to look into.
And Bleah? It's koo'. If you're into sword battles & spiritual power type stuff, then you can give Bleach a shot.
Oh, and when you have the chance, give Yu Yu Hakusho a chance. It's awesome. n.n

Sasuke's not that strong. I hope that remark wasn't influenced because of the fight between he and Deidara. Deidara isn't that strong. And actually, Gaara would've beaten him if they weren't inside the Sand village.

A don't watch a lot of anime, but of all I've seen FMA is my favourite, hands down. A plot and characters that grab you, mixed with a good helping of action and humour. With Naruto and Bleach (allegedly - I haven't watched the latter) you have to deal with filler and episodes that are drawn out in order to fill the 20 minute mark. FMA was adapted from the manga, but they took the story in a completely different direction. It's actually one of the cases where I think the anime had a better story.
I'm a large fan of the Naruto manga, though, and I'm considering starting reading/watching Bleach.

Bleach does have filler eps - its 'only' 35~40 eps though. I personally didn't mind them at all. With Bleach, in the anime even the filler characters become canon(they become background characters).

Dude... the whole Bouto arc in Bleach was filler. That was a lot more than 5 eps.

Don't listen to Spence, he knows nothing about the greatness of Sasuke- he's just jealous.
Watch them all, but start with FMA since you'll be able to actually finish that one and you might also want to grab Deathnote it's an insanely awesome anime made by the same person who wrote Hikaru no Go.
