Yeah, Blade of the Immortal had a really great reputation from being simply the best localized english manga of it's time, however Hiroaki Samura's fractured storytelling style/narrative flow and the dragginess of the series in the past two/three years really annoyed me.
Vagabond is my favorite samurai manga even if it has jumped the shark for me as of 2010.
tomatous you should read Shigurui if you're into the seinen samurai genre.
Naruto, Bleach etc. are simply disposable weekly entertainment, and while I'm no fanboy/hardcore fan I do think that as far as disposable weekly entertainment goes there are many other things out there that are far worse. One Piece however is an awesome shonen manga. It reminds me of being a kid back when Dragonball was still being published.
