I've watched both of these since I was around 15 and I'll have to honestly say Naruto. Why? Because it actually has a story. Though Naruto is my favourite mainstream shonen series, Kishimoto has pulled some spineless copping out over the years, but overall it's still good for what it is.
But Bleach? I've always said that Bleach is just a template for large battles to take place. Sometimes the stuff that happen doesn't even make sense and people are killed off swiftly to move the plot along...
Screw it, look at this:
P.S. If you haven't watched or read past the first 10+ chapters/episodes of either of these series, you have no real opinion to form. That's like saying you watched the first season of Heroes and telling everyone it's the best show ever made.

I've only read the mangas, but I'd have to say Naruto.
Bleach had one absolutely brilliant arc (the soul society arc) and then went a bit meh and has gone downhill ever since. Naruto keeps having good arcs occaisionally, even though it can fuck them up (Pain arc I'm looking at you!!).

Must resist urge to blurt "tits or gtfo"... oh dear god, my /b/tard friend has ruined me.RatRace123 said:
OT: Naruto, cuz I went from 4th to 6th grade loving that show. Why? No clue.
I guess Bleach has always kept me more interested then Naruto('Cept maybe for some of the battles against Akatsuki).
I don't really know what to say about them anymore, they've both moved quite a bit away from what dragged me towards them and as has been mentioned before here - One Piece is sorta the only that's still at it's usual pace(and the manga is kicking ass too).
Oh! I don't know what the general opinion on this is, but i think Fairy Tail's a good anime too(though a bit weird in the sense that a woman uses insane swords and slashes away at people and all it seems to do is knock them over or rip their clothes >_>)

Bleach.
It started out great got bad, and is now getting REALLY good again.
I like the characters better, there are more that have some decent development but many are still left in the dust.
And Kubo's trolling?
GLORIOUS, yea some was stupid but some was absolutely hilarious.
Manga that is.
Naruto still hasn't recovered from Sauske's DARKNESSSSSSSSSS CRAAAAAWLING IN MY SKIIIIIIIINNNNNNN!
THESE WOUUUNDS THEY WIIIIILL NOT HEEEEEEEEAL!
And i don't think it will, plus it looks like Kishimoto has forgotten about the themes Naruto had.
And the Arc's are getting really really boring and the characters are really starting to piss me off.

Agreed. I don't read the Bleach manga but I read the Naruto one. Thing is even in the Bleach anime I'm still waiting for story. I grow cold waiting.Kimarous said:
But I still watch it week after week because the fights entertain me greatly. Kubo knows what he's good at. Maybe he should do what the Death Note duo do and get himself a partner.
I wanted to exit out of the nearest window after that arc. I nearly stopped respecting Kishi after that but it's been quality ever since (pretty much).GodsAndFishes said:
Better? Not sure a comparison is apt. The worlds and how they are structured are rather different, ultimately, and Ichigo and Naruto have the following in common:
*Spiky hair
*Hero complex
*Oblivious to love
But if I had to pick one, I'd go with Naruto. Bleach is damn good, but Kubo keeps seeming to forget this. He makes interesting characters and reveals they're interesting about five panels before killing them or otherwise rendering them pointless. At least with Naruto, you more or less know the motivations of the cast, and can understand who and/or what you're rooting for. I for one am rooting for Kabuto. Dude was orphaned by war and used as Orochimaru's little ***** boy for years. He deserves to conquer the universe with his vaguely creepy snake appendages.

I watched Bleach for a while. Then, one day I thought, "What the fuck am I watching?" Turned it off and never went back. Naruto never interested me.
So, since both of them are batshit loopy, I'll have to go with Death Note. Also batshit loopy, but intriguing, somewhat different, and had the decency to be brief.

Prefer Naruto. Found the story more interesting, the music more awesome and I like the characters charm, in the violent world they lived in it certainly helped build character. Well, up to episode 135 anyway, after that it was all filler and I don't like Shippuden.
I also liked Bleach but only to the end of the first season, the second season was boring and pretty much felt like filler. I watched some of the later episodes but lost interest since it was hardly any different than the previous seasons. You know, Ichigo starts of weak but finds a quick source of power to take on evil that was 10 times more powerful than him before.
