Since I plan on subscribing to Shonen Jump Alpha I want to know which of these series I should catch up with. I'm way behind, volume 10 for Naruto and 16 for One Piece. That's not an issue for me though.
Which series would be worth catching up with by January?

Even though One Piece is my favorite of the 2. I think Naruto would be a good bet because the actual plot is coming to a head right now and by January the story could plausibly be coming up to the last year or so of the series. One Piece is currently about 10 years away from finishing and the current arc has not been totally captivating for most. One Piece does have some of its best material ahead of where you are up to right now though.

You could read to the end of both series from where you are easily if you had the time. You probably wouldn't want to invest that much time into it though.

Personally I'd say Naruto is the best. I don't know why everyone loves one piece but when I read it I ended up skipping a lot of chapters because it was so obvious what was gonna happen. The team fights everyone of their own caliber such as such as the team swordsman vs the villain swordsman who seems to have the upper hand until the team swordsman pulls out some crazy move. The events are way too predictable but the overall plot is what I guess everyone likes.

I'd read a Naruto chapter over a One Piece chapter any day.

Not sure how One Piece is predictable. Which arcs are you referring to?
And the Straw hats/luffy have seem defeat several times, including twice when they literally stood no chance.
And the events within the story arc are what it's about, kinda pointless skipping out on all the backstory etc. If you only care about fights then maybe Naruto is better.

edit: seen not seem

That's pretty much what I'm saying. Sword fighter will fight sword fighter. Main fighter will fight luffy. That much is given even in the latest arc. Good guys will almost lose but then win 90% of the time.

The plot overall is pretty good and I like it; that's why I'm still reading it every week. I'd rather be in Luffy's ship than on Naruto's team if it were somehow reality. But the predictability of the fights really gets to me. For example I pretty much skipped the entire CP9 rematch. So overall counting predictability of battles and their setups, plot, and character dev (pretty much 0 in One Piece other than a few changes in persona during the 2 year break) - Naruto wins hands down.

Naruto hardly has any fights. -_-

Or so it seems to me.

I'd go with Naruto any day, mostly because I prefer it over One Piece. But a lot of it has to do with personal preference. Which one have you liked more up until now, Ani? I would go from your own preference over what people say.

I've decided to just catch up with other series for Shonen Jump Alpha.
Bakuman
Toriko and
Nura: Rise Of The Yokai Clan

Concerning which series I like more I would have to go with One Piece. I gave the Naruto anime 3 tries and it couldn't hold my interest. I wanted to see if any of you would of convinced me to continue with it.

To me, it got good during the Chunin Exams, and then it hit a break. Then it got really good during the final Arc. Shippuden is more entertaining. It would hold your interest a lot more. I'm still a fan of the original though.

I hear Bakuman is good!

I can't stand the naruto anime personally. The fillers destroy it and make it into a kiddie thing. The manga is almost dragonball tier.

That's why you skip the filler and watch it in Japanese. Problem solved. :)

And yes, I definitely plan on checking out Bakuman! It looks really interesting.
