Naruto has had eleven chapters released since I last read it. I dunno what wrong, but I have had no desire to read it. Maybe I just need to just push myself to read to get hooked again.

11?

Is more like 34 in my case >_>

________________

I have a higher tolerance level I guess.

I like both of these mangas but lately i dislike that the focus has shifted from the main characters, although recently Naruto has corrected this. Bleach has way too many characters that it tries to have stories about. I think it was better when I was had 100+ chapters to read because I would always get to something about a main character within a reasonable amount of time. In summary more characters is not always a good thing.

I also dislike Bleach and Naruto, though they were good once

Bleach leaves its strong point way too soon [People of soul society in the human society]

Naruto is whereas too draggy where Naruto can only talk and nothing else it's only strong point was the Lone kid being lone and then gaining friends...it's over now

Whereas One Piece is not being talked....

One piece deserves 100x better treatment then those two

Only the sky Island arc was dragged down to hell
but ahead it was more and more fun

Even though the Arc is being dragged in One Piece it is pretty much fun to watch or read its pretty much like magic

Well...the Naruto manga is awesome...I start to hate the Anime though..it became to much like DBZ. They need like 20 seconds to show a face, until they show us something else....Best example for that are the Naruto specials. Two episodes? Well...the action/story goes forward like 1 episode...because they sho flashbacks or someones face^^..or the characters just look at each other for 1 min.

Well..there is nothing else to say for Bleach...its like the same..what ive written above.
I don't know the manga and I dont think I will start reading it.

Bleach : i liked bleach up until soul society arc ended... they lost their touch in their creativity and techniques in character/plot development.... personally i think the author being real successful during those seasons was just a fluke, no offense to the big fans

Naruto : Naruto was good, up until cartoon network started showing it and ruined the whole image of it in "4kids", i mean they could have left it the way it is in "adult swim" not that it would stop kids from watching it every night... besides, most of the kids nowadays know how to use IRC/FROSTWIRE/TORRENT, so theres no big deal here ... but i feel its false and disagree with people who says naruto is for dorks, and basically its what white guys refer japanese people as... but i think its cause of the childish or more of corny themes they attache onto, but hey noone can be good at everything... though i understand that people would want to get ahold of the mature and underaged audiences for bigger incomes...

one piece and berserk never failed to surprise me every season... ODA Eiichiro and Miura Kentaro is my current god right now !!!!!

In my opinion, Naruto and Bleach are horrendously overrated. Both of them feature mindless fighting with no coherent plot, and a shameless amount of filler. None of the characters in Bleach and Naruto are interesting or well-developed, and are usually unmemorable and have generic personalities(Sasuke, Naruto, Ichigo, etc.). Seriously, there's a lot of better shonen manga out there, like FOTNS, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and GTO. It's basically a My First Anime/Manga for people who are new to anime/manga.

Naruto and Bleach "were" awesome back when it was brand new and had that freshness to 'em. Now they just feel like way too tedious to watch. The manga version is alright. I still read them, but I speed through, just to see what happens and see if anything special happens (usually there's none). As for the anime version... I watch a 24 minutes episode in 3-5minutes, rofl. The creators are just trying too hard at this point. All the fights feel the same. The story feel like it could have been wrapped up a long while ago.

Naruto, to me, is getting boring, but at least it still keeps you wanting to know what happens next. At least the mangaka kills of some characters, just enough to keep the story going.

Bleach on the other hand for me...it's just completely boring and stupid, how much longer is it going to last? No one ever dies[except a few irrelevent arrancars who barley had any manga-time to even have someone care if they die], there's way too much "deus ex machina", and the fights are predictable and boring. I also hate in Bleach how you have to fight off all the "underlings", usually from the weaker to stronger, before you get to the "final boss"...just to let the story mindlessly drag on.

I have not read Naruto since the anime went on the endless filler arcs but Bleach i have kept up with - it is not so bad but i just really wish they would not take 15 chapters to draw the sword, it feels like a bad impression of Drangball Z epps

I enjoy reading Naruto, although it is starting to get very boring, and has been for awhile. And once it started to seem like it reached a good point, something else happens to dull it again. I still read it though and enjoy it, but hoping it will come to an end really soon. There hasn't even been any comedy in awhile... Making it even more boring.

As for Bleach... Like it was said before, just saving the damsel in distress and dragging it out for a very long time. I'm currently take a break from reading it until it gets further ahead. Because reading it weekly where it takes like 5 chapters for everything to make complete sense is kinda wasteful. So hopefully after my break it will be completed with this arc and move onto the next, or be down all together. Eitherway is fine by me. And if it goes into another arc, it hopefully won't have to be saving someone again...

Edit: One Piece on the other hand! I love it, and I have no complaints about it at all. It's a wonder why it isn't as popular as the other two. One Piece is always the first comic I read when they all come out during the week, even if Naruto comes out first, I just gotta read One Piece first. It's also only one of two series I have given a 10 on my rating... Mx0 had a 10 also... But that ending made me drop it a number... Naruto or Bleach need to get out of there and give either One piece more pages to use or bring back Mx0... Or even Double Arts, that would be good to be brought back too.

they are the main reason why i couldn't get into Shounen so yes, i dislike them.

Both are the extreme when you talk about fan service, but...

Naruto for me is neither shounen neither seinen its childish.
Bleach is Shounen.

I guess now maximum of us hate Bleach and Naruto >.<
