DO NOT BASE YOUR REPLY ON THE NUMBER OF EPS THE ANIME SERIES HAS
I pick these two anime series because they are both popular series
Again I would like to see if anyone has change there opinion on both of these series
Which one out of the two anime series do you like best?
I have to pick Bleach, ep 54 was fuckin awsome. I pick bleach b/c of all the bad ass fights
Sorry if i broke any rule's
BLEACH.
Naruto is good but Bleach is awesome. Even Bleach fillers are better than Naruto fillers. Lets hope the upcoming episodes are just like ep 54 or even better.
bleach is just too great
I have seen only the first ep of Bleach and I'm not too impressed... seems to have the same cliche's in Naruto... strong must protect weak... established fighter amazed by skill of new guy...
You are missing out big time. The anime will pick up after like 7 or 8 episodes.

atrong protect weak... uhm isn't that what nearly ALL fighting animes are about... seriously... short of maybe Hellsing (even then...) I can't think of anything where this is not a theme...
and yea... this show is a like a crescendo... starts slow but then pick up and keeps going up and never going down...
Wow, tear me in two why don't you?
The overall idea behind Bleach (Shinigami, Hollows, Soul Society) is better than simple ninjas and apsiring youths, but the technical and complex aspects of the Naruto battles (filler excluded) rivet me in a way that Reiatsu (Bleach's version of DBZ's Power Levels) and Slayer Releases (Bleach's version of DBZ's Super-Saiyan thresholds/ different villains' physical manifestations) just don't do...
Each show has an even spread of great, mediocre and crappy characters. Good character development and interactions in both.
Both have good blends of humor, though I tend to prefer Bleach's slapstick antics, perversion, and zaniness to Naruto's childishness and naievety.
But all in all, I'm going to have to say I prefer Bleach to Naruto. Not just because I'm sick of all of the Naruto filler (as I expect we'll be subjected to some long Bleach filler in due time) or because right now Bleach is interesting and Naruto is boring (though this surely influences everyone's opinion on some level) but because I really really love the style of animation in Bleach and how it seems a little more mature than Naruto. Naruto is just too kiddy for me sometimes... Bleach takes the cake when it comes to fascinating camera angles, detailed character animation, cool visual themes (the way they animate the pressure of the Reiatsu is fucking kickass). Naruto does have the best fight sequences and battle animation, but it is too inconsistent and Bleach's isn't much worse.
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
BLEACH, unless it gets infected by the filler plague
Which series has better music?
I echo alot of masamuneehs' statements. I have been watching both Bleach and Naruto (begining with Naruto), and although I think that Naruto has some of the best actions segments, Bleach overall does have a more mature theme and animation to it. However, the poster is catching Naruto at the middle of a downward spiral and Bleach after one of the best episodes to date, so the comparison is tainted by current episode biases. In the end, Bleach is more compelling to watch; the supporting characters have more depth and the world that Kubo Noriaki has created is awesome.
Spoiler below if you haven't followed current Bleach episodes...
As per great camera angles, how about when Renji is hit with Byakuya 's reiatsu...I love the way the camera angle follows the bead of sweat then fly's up the wall to show Byakuya waiting!
Currently watching: One Piece, Black Lagoon, Bleach, Death Note, Suzumiya Haruhi,
The 12 Kingdoms, and Soukou no Strain (kinda)

Score, I'm the first person to say Naruto (edit: besides DB_Hunter).
But that's only because...well, I'm more familiar with it (because I've known it longer). There are scenes in it which really get me; and overall I can't make an accurate decision. I say Naruto, but I'm not saying I like it all that much better than Bleach.
For me, it breaks down to the action, comedy, and emotional aspects of each.
Action: they're both pretty similar, though different (as masamuneehs said). So they're about the same for me. Both rock like no other - just in different ways.
Comedy: Bleach wins. I prefer the comedy in Bleach. Kubo Tite has SUCH a better knack for comedy.
Emotional: Naruto. I can't feel for the characters in Bleach in the same way. Even the "emotional" scenes in Bleach don't get to me all that much.
So I'd say Naruto. But on a numerical scale of my preferences, they'd be separated by a only few decimal places.
And yeah, episode 54 was fuckin' awesome.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Bleach. It has more boobs.
I mean animation and themes and stuff.

I pick Bleach. When my Naruto fandom was at it's peak, it was way higher than my current fandom for Bleach is now - even though that one is very high.
Thing is, though, when I was into Naruto I was still fairly new in the world of manga/anime. Thus, my standards weren't exactly the highest. Looking back on that series, there are of course lots and lots of great stuff, but overall, it's too predictable and occasionally too bland for my tastes. Both Naruto & Bleach have their fair shares of stereotypes (which shounen show doesn't have the occasional DBZ reference?) but I'd say that Bleach pulls it off better. Also, Bleach has way better characters. Sure Naruto has Neji, Kimimaro and stuff but it feels like that series doesn't take any chances. Killin' off villains then moving on the plot. Rarely do I react to anything that happens in Naruto with a "omgwtfhzfzfao!!" but in Bleach I get surprised all the time. Anyway about the characters again. There is noone i absolutely hate in Bleach. There are of course the obligatory cute female kid, obligatory kid genius, obligatory etc, but nobody pisses me off. I don't like Yachiru very much but I don't mind her either. That's when you know a series is really good. Naruto has several characters I'd trade my Yzak collection for to be able to slash the throat off of *cough Hinata Sakura *cough*. Despite Bleach having an enormous cast, there are few characters we know absolutely zero about. Kubo Tite adds quirks and stuff that make the chars memorable. Naruto has several characters that have appeared in lots of chapters and yet nobody gives a shit about them. Kishi focuses way too much on Naruto, Sasuke and their stupid cliche relationship.
The only field in which Naruto is better is music. Music in that show is good, fitting and catchy. Bleach has some really AWFUL tracks, like that song in which some chick that sounds like Whoopi Goldberg is singing. That one which Bud likes for some god forsaken reason...
Then again Bleach counters by owning the shit out of Naruto's worthless ops/eds...
Oh almost forgot. Bleach is fucking funny. Naruto's comedy makes me giggle at absolute best.
NARUTO STRAIGHT UP!
Bleach makes me laugh more than Naruto. Naruto makes me more excited than Bleach... or well, at least it used to. Ishida is hot. Sakon is hotter, but then again he's freakin' dead. As you can probably tell, I'm having a hard time making a choice. I used to love Naruto to death, literally. I used to wait for every episode like some fucking kid waiting for Santa. Naruto was also the show which really got me into anime. So yeah, the show definitely has a very special place in my heart. Sadly, the recent fillers have made me more or less uninterested in the show. The characters I used to love are starting to feel extremely trite ( OH MY GOD, OROCHIMARU IS BEHIND THIS!!! ) and the whole world is starting to feel boring and uninspiring.
With that said, right now I really prefer Bleach to Naruto. However, as Terra also said, my "Bleach fandom" is nowhere near where my "Naruto fandom" used to be.
/ No, you warrant no villain's exposition from me.
theres only one way to settle this GOOGLE FIGHT!!!
R.I.P Captain America.
I prefer bleach over naruto.
Most of all because of the characters. they feel alot deeper then naruto's.
And something interesting is that its not good guys vs bad guys.
they're fighting against ppl who protect humans, so its good guys vs the good guys.
Damn, the MAN has spoken, just as I feel.. =) lol.. It's excatly the same for me, the first thing I saw after Neon Genesis was naruto..Originally posted by: Terracosmo
