When I said "most representative" I wasnt talking about popularity, I was talking about simply known by people. You can go outside and ask anybody what Naruto is and what One Piece is and there will be more people to answer that correctly for Naruto than there will be for One Piece. This can be for many reasons other than quality, like merchandise shipping around or Naruto making it out of Japan first or etc. the fact is Naruto represents anime more (not better) outside of Japan.
Frankly it's because naruto is about ninja's, while one piece is about pirates, which the western scene kind of stopped caring about since PotC, that and assassins creed. Plus the animation has always been unique to the show. Although one piece is also notorious for it's terrible funimation dubs, that also pretty much solidified it's problems. I mean seriously who censors guns for...frekin nothing, like bare hands, it was ridiculous lmao
