Bleach is just plain annoying. More so than One Piece (of shit).

Naruto, I will admit has a good plot setting, but the way its written just makes it aggravating to read/watch.

Pretty much.

ups and lows

got to say that Naturo earns a 4 and bleach earns a 2... in my opinion

________________

OP earns a 0/5 in my book, Naruto earns a 3/5 and Bleach a 4/5.

Pirates are overrated. I like ninja's..but the story lacks fun.

Yeah, they both have been dragging haven't they? I stopped well after ...uhh 400 chapters in? Idk i gave up like a year ago pretty sure. I'm not sure as to how they're doing now, but Naruto was still in the middle-ish of an arc and it seemed long and boring, so I went screw it. As for Bleach, I got bored and it was getting idiotic.

Well, One Piece is still one of the best shonen out there. The only problem OP have is its dragged out pace. Many arcs are just over stretched (Fishman Arc/PunkHazard Arc) but all over they are best. The characters and plot is still original compared to most. And the jokes are still funny unlike Naruto and Bleach where they just waste panels.

I have always liked One Piece and used to enjoy Naruto and Bleach until I realized that they were no longer entertaining. I think they appeal to a very...unrefined crowd. I just can not stand it if I see someone's username is inspired by one of those two mangas. God save them.

A lot of people started Naruto when younger and just want to finish it. I wish I never started the never ending series. The Manga is ok but the anime is awful after the XXX episode. Too many fillers, too many recaps and just too much crap. Just reading the manga now just to see the how it ends. Really I wouldn't care now if Naruto and Leaf Village got destroyed, if it means a quicker ending.

Naruto is a cash cow and most likely will be prolonged while it is able to make money. It just sound business.

As to Bleach, it is annoying as hell. Bleach storyline sucks compared to Naruto. I read it and watched it till Ichigo beat Aizen and was glad to stop it at that point.

I like Bleach enough to deal with the filler (at least until episode 300) but if there's another filler arc, which I've heard there is, I'll probably skip it. As to why I like it so much, it's probably just the part of me that likes the cheesy shounen cliches and the promises of interesting fight scenarios. I don't like Naruto as much because it doesn't have as much of that.

I actually liked naruto the first few volumes but it went downhill for me when naruto shippuden started. I barely got through the chapters and when the war came out that's when I stopped. Seriously they should've ended it in the pein arc. This manga really had a lot of potential they had cool weapons, cool powers but instead of using them to the fullest they use crazy power ups that come out of nowhere. (This phenomenon occurs to most shounen main characters)

In bleach I actually don't remember much of the plot line but what I do remember is that it was so repetitive and Ichigo was so op it's not even funny. How the hell can he defeat someone with a whole hella lot of experience with just a swing of his sword. And mostly the reasons for his power ups is because he is a part human/shinagami/hollow maybe next time we'll find out that he is actually part alien .

Sorry if I offended any of you naruto/bleach fans. I guess that I just need to get that out of my system.

At first I liked Bleach, but it went wrong after the soul society arc. After Aizen was defeated it just lost my interest. I really don't have an opinion of Naruto because I marathoned it one weekend and caught up. It started out good, but again it fizzled. One Piece for me is just as bad as those two. The humor gets childish too much for me, and the plot repeats just under different guises.

The only shounen that I like right now that are ongoing are Kingdom and Gintama.

I'm still reading Naruto and Bleach, since they're close to the end. I admit finding Bleach more entertaining to read than Naruto, not because of its plot but because each chapter in itself is more entertaining. Like some action flick, it's not deep but the fights are good.

Dropped One Piece because...

If it was as close to the end as Naruto and Bleach, I guess I'd have finished it.

Nc, the DBZ theory in Bleach is right on mark...

I still read it though, cause, Ichigo's nature/personality is nice, I mean, I really hate Mc's like in Naruto, One Piece, Fairy Tale, etc...

But, I really do hate Naruto (the manga), if, the Mc was someone like Sasuke, I'd like it then, but,... Meh....

I like Bleach (still), cause, Ichigo always wins, and he gets power ups one after another..

Edit:
Ah, and I just like it when Ichigo wipes the floor with his enemies...

I have to admit, naruto was interesting in the beginning, and when I was younger. Now that Naruto is ending, the fans have gone crazy. I've read so many "uh, get to the point already" comments. The mangaka has been doing that for the last 650+ chapters, what's new? Okay, it's not as bad as the anime but it's still pretty drawn out. Besides, no one dies anymore since the characters have learned how to reanimate the dead. I mean, Hinata had this great heroic death saving Naruto. But she didn't die so what was the point? I didn't want Hinata to die but you know, they are fighting in a war. People die, and not just the villains.

I keep up on bleach through spoilers. It's more mature, the characters are good, and it doesn't reinforce romance. However, it's fairly formulatic so I don't read it. I don't mind formulatic things, but when it becomes like bleach with 600+ chapters? It gets hard, especially when every arc has to up Ichigo's character to become even better and more special. How much more special and greater can Ichigo get at this point?

I find the manga for Naruto to be much more appealing than its anime counterpart (though I'm not nearly as big a fan as I used to be), but I've just never been able to get into Bleach. For me, it isn't so much that it drags on as it is just dull.

I might finish Naruto and Bleach, however I don't enjoy them so much as in the past. The stories are dragging on for me and I can't enjoy them anymore like in the past. Their are much better series that at least get a 10 from me.
