I recommend this over Bleach, One Piece and Naruto.
It's a great time to start it's only got 3 episodes left before it moves into an indefinite hiatus for who knows how long. For a bit of perspective, the Greed Island Arc was a series of OVA's that came out on 2001, in 2011 the Series started anew and now in 2014 they have caught up.

While I am on the topic of Shonen and Naruto it appears the final arc is finally coming to a conclusion, Naruto has officially saved the world. Again.
