i like them both!! but i feel more attached to naruto!! i actually love sword fights but for me the fights in naruto are better... and i also like narutos history and bonds to other characters!! if you had to judge on the first few arcs of naruto.. well yeah they are crap... but later on when the whole think with sasuke happens the eps just rock!!! well bleach is too "quick"... the rescue rukia arc was awsome but a little wierd... i mean they cause so much destruction in sereitei and all... and then in the end of the arc they are best of allies!! come on!!! ANYWAY NARUTO IS JUST BETTER THAN BLEACH!!! :D
Kishimoto with part 2 = Bland and generic characters in both personality and outward appearance. Terrible storytelling with even worse pacing. Awful character development that consist of pain, loneliness and the sadness of pain. And artwork that looks a color book. Dont forget Kishi's whoring of the sharingan.

And Part 1 is cheaply ripped off of Hunter x Hunter
wow... so ill assume you arent a naruto fan!? :wink:
Used to be, but part 2 sucks major ass.

Current Bleach isn't much better. Hueco Mundo Arc is a poorly done carbon copy of Soul Society Arc, only replacing Rukia with Orihime, and the Captains with the Espada. The arc's only saving grace is the Grimmjow vs. Ichigo fight, which is still inferior to their first 2.
In the beginning was the Win, and the Win was with Gai, and the Win was Gai.

ohh... im sorta the opposite.. lol i wasnt a fan of naruto at the begining but now i am... i actually like part 2 because of the akatski and the whole rescue sasuke thing going on...!!

and as for bleach you are right its the same as before ... i guess they ran out of ideas :roll: ... however the espada are slightly more interesting than the captains!! :lol:

Part 2 started off terribly IMO and never manged to crawl back up. I could tell with Kabutoro that it wasn't going to pick up anytime soon. I quit with the Deidara vs. Sasuke fight. I just couldn't take it anymore, Kishimoto can't stop masturbating the sharingan. Seriously. X-Ray vision? Seeing at a molecular level? TELEPORTATION? Where the [censored] did these abilities come from? I swear, the next thing will be optic blasts like Cyclops.

The Espada do not make up for the crappy reapeat storyline. I liked SS, but if I wanted to read it again, I'd read it again


My advice would be to quit Bleach (well, give it a few more chapters) and Naruto, and read One Piece instead

How so?
i think that kabutoro might be slightly interesting.
I think he could have done so much more with Orochimaru's death, but he just had to fuse him with the Mr. Smithers of the series
well, its true that the sharingan keeps getting more weird abilities.
Weird is an understatement. It's not the abilities themselves that p*ss me off, its the fact that they come out of nowhere without ever being mentioned before.
i guess kishi thought that it would be intising to create a few new (weird) abilities for the sharingan.
It makes the battles very linear and predictable, which left me wondering why I wasted precious minutes of my life reading it
..@_@ guess he was wrong.. :|
Yes. Apparently so
Well i am waiting fro the fight between sasuke and naruto... i liked the one in part 1!!!
Yeah, well. I don't know what to tell you. Part 2 battles are not at all like the ones from part 1
I agreed with you that the arc is an exact copy ... but I WILL NOT agree that the story line is crap!! i actually like it!!! =; even though it is the same i still doesnt meen that its crap!!!!
Once again, if I wanted to read Soul Society Arc, I'd read soul society

well you said that part 2 started terribly!! well it actually didn't!! i think that it started great... in the beginning naruto (the anime) was partly about the relationship between naruto and sakura and the fact that he was sorta stupid!... and the way it started it showed the relationship between naruto and sakura!! the thing with him doing the orike no jutsu (don't think i wrote that write!!) which showed he was still himself!! and him asking sakura on a date!!! it showed that naruto is still naruto!! even though he grew up he is still stupid!! hehe! :lol: i think it stayed true to the characters personalities.. and thats what i like most about naruto!!!
as i said it started off awesome and is still awesome!!

Um, no it didn't.
i think that it started great.
You have poor taste
in the beginning naruto (the anime) was partly about the relationship between naruto and sakura and the fact that he was sorta stupid!.
Yes, but that's very distracting from the real plot
and the way it started it showed the relationship between naruto and sakura!! the thing with him doing the orike no jutsu (don't think i wrote that write!!) which showed he was still himself!! and him asking sakura on a date!!! it showed that naruto is still naruto!! even though he grew up he is still stupid!! hehe! :lol:
Eh, once again, I find that that time should have been spent on real plot
i think it stayed true to the characters personalities.
Except for the fact that every single ninja is now as emo as part 1 Sasuke was, and now Sasuke is an emotionless robot
and thats what i like most about naruto!!!
Well the main characters' personalities aren't original in the least. The main characters' personalities are copied from Hunter x Hunter
as i said it started off awesome
The return of Sasuke at the beginning of part 2 was what killed Naruto for me, due to the incredibly low quality of what was supposed to be a dramatic moment. Wasting about half of the chapter on showing shocked reactions and single-page spreads of people's faces is a total waste of time and space
and is still awesome!!
Whatever, I've given up on it. The Deidara vs. Sasuke fight was the final nail in the coffin for me. The battles are just way too linear and boring now, and the currrent plot is uninteresting and slow. You can jack off to Sasuke with Kishi, but I've moved on to better manga.
i have never seen one piece
Then you can't judge
and i dont know what its about
Once again you cant judge a series you know nothing about
but from what pics ive seen of it it looks crap!
Oh and this doesn't? http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s300 ... meskip.jpg

I hated the One Piece art style at first too, but it really grew on me, and now I love it. Sure some of the characters look like crap (Foxy, Mr. 2, Buggy, etc.) but there are some badass ones (Lucci, Mihawk, Ace, etc.). Even if you hate OP's art style, at least it's unique (which is more than I can say about Naruto). Give it a shot at least. It took me a while to get into, but once I did I was hooked.

It seems to me that both the authors of Naruto and Bleach seem to be unsure of what they are currently doing with their respective mangas right now.

I actually liked naruto first, but finally got into bleach a little, havent really watched bleach since the soul society arc, and really havent been watching naruto much either, Naruto isnt orignally to me at all, he has alot of character traits from other Main characters from different anime, but One piece is a dope show.

i really don't know whats wrong with that!

who wouldn't!
but it really grew on me, and now I love it.
well thats good for you! but i don't think i would have the same reaction!
Sure some of the characters look like crap
they do! its the same with dragon ball!! i saw a couple of eps of dragon ball and i don't like it!... that type of character art i really don't like!
Even if you hate OP's art style, at least it's unique
well that uunique style is what i don't like!
Give it a shot at least. It took me a while to get into, but once I did I was hooked.
i might give it a try if i feel like it... so that i can confirm how crap it is!

everyone has different likes and dislikes! and i like naruto and bleach while i dislike one piece and dragonball!![/quote]

You are missing out a lot!!! even though the hueco mondo arc resembles a lot the soul society arc... its still good!!

well there is a certain ammount or traits that exist... so there will definatly be a lot of characters from different shows that are the same!! well naruto was 1 of the first anime i watched so it is original to me!!!! Oh and one piece really looks crap!!

Bland, poorly drawn, no detail, looks like a coloring book, you name it.
I hated the One Piece art style at first too,
who wouldn't!
I'm sure there are people who liked it from the start

well thats good for you! but i don't think i would have the same reaction!
I thought the same way you did, but my friend got me to stick with it and now I'm addicted
its the same with dragon ball!
Tell me, what looks better,

this:
http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/245/14/

or this:
http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/a ... okuSSJ.jpg
i saw a couple of eps of dragon ball and i don't like it!.
You can't judge it off 2-3 eps. There's a reason why it's the most popular anime/manga series of all time
that type of character art i really don't like!
Like One Piece, Dragonball's art style improves over time.
well that uunique style is what i don't like!
Look dude, I hated it too at first, it takes some getting used to
i might give it a try if i feel like it... so that i can confirm how crap it is!
God, I HATE people like you. You're going to go and judge it on the first 2 chapters, say it sucks and never come back to it. It's a bit slow to start, yes, but if you stick with it through Alabasta, you will like it, trust me
bleach is good and all but you shouldnt give up on naruto!! Smile
Naruto is dead beyond salvation
You are missing out a lot!!! even though the hueco mondo arc resembles a lot the soul society arc... its still good!!
No it's not. It's an inferior copy of Soul Society with long dragged out fights and a predictable plot. Would you mind telling me what's good about it?
well there is a certain ammount or traits that exist... so there will definatly be a lot of characters from different shows that are the same!!
Yeah but I cant name any Naruto characters that are more than 50% original, unlike One Piece which has some of the most original characters I've ever seen like Franky and Brook
well naruto was 1 of the first anime i watched so it is original to me!
Read Hunter x Hunter and try to tell me Naruto is original
Oh and one piece really looks crap!!
Watch/read before you judge
everyone has different likes and dislikes! and i like naruto and bleach while i dislike one piece and dragonball!!
Whatever, you can like the generic, cookie cutter series (it's a shame, there was a time when Bleach actually looked like it was going to differentiate itself from the other series out there, but apparently not), but I'll stick with One Piece

Bleach is rather mediocre right now. The Soul Society arc was great but now Kubo is just recycling the same ideas from that to use in the current arc. Repetition is quite annoying. Bleach has a lot of style and a cool look but it lacks substance and solid plot.

Part 2 of Naruto hasn't quite lived up to the expectations I expected but it's not horrible. Still more interesting than Bleach at least. Although the focus and uberfying of Sasuke is irritating. I thought this series was called Naruto not Sasuke. There also needs to be more screen time for the other characters too.

Quoted for truth. If I wanted to read Soul Society Arc again, I'd read Soul Society arc again.
Part 2 of Naruto hasn't quite lived up to the expectations I expected
Part 2 is possibly one of the biggest disappointments of all time
but it's not horrible.
Personally I think it is, but to each his own
Still more interesting than Bleach at least.
Well in Bleach there's still a small chance for salvation, with Naruto, not unless Hunter x Hunter resumes, which quite frankly, I don't think is happening anytime soon
Although the focus and uberfying of Sasuke is irritating. I thought this series was called Naruto not Sasuke.
Kishimoto probably keeps pictures of Sasuke in his bed.
There also needs to be more screen time for the other characters too.
Well if all of the other characters' personalities have devolved as much as Naruto and Sasuke's have, they'll all be whiny emos too, and that's part of what makes Shippuden so unbearable
