I heard from others that Bleach is better than Naruto. I have never seen Bleach before but the way that they are talking about it, I would watch it too. Right now I am just watching Naruto until I see the very end of it. Have any of you ever seen Bleach before? Give me some inside clue on how it is.

Overall, Bleach has consistently better animation than Naruto and much fewer irrelevant fillers on the show... so I would say BLEACH!!! I like Naruto... but sometimes the fillers really kill me.

Well, pal, RIGHT NOW the fillers already ended, and they've already started with the new NARUTO SHIPPUUDEN. And NARUTO SHIPPUUDEN ROOOOOOOOCCKS!! Haven't you started watching that yet?

ive only watched up to ep28 so i cant really say if this anime is better than naruto. but i can say that this is a really good anime as well. im not sure but my cousin told me that the one who made naruto also made bleach, thus the resemblance in character designs and other stuff...

Naruto is by Mashashi Kishimoto.Bleach is by Kubotite or Kubo Taito. Masashi Kishimoto is a creator of naruto.Beginning 1999, his work of Naruto was serialized in Weekly Shonnen Jump. Kubo started Bleach and presented his manga to Weekly Shonnen Jump but was rejected because they said it is similar to Yu Yu Hakusho. But with his determination this manga then accepted and serialized by Weekly Shonnen Jump later.

I also watch both. While I must admit that both shows have their weak points, they are the better animes that are available on basic cable right now. Naruto has a tendency to slow down story lines to a point of near destruction. It can be hard for me to care about a fight if it does on for 7 episodes, but to keep the show from catching up with the manga, that is what they have to do. Bleach on the other hand runs at a much faster pace, but I don't find myself as into the characters. While watching Naruto, I'll say things that "Oh, that is so like Naruto to do..." But Bleach I take more at face value except for when I'm annoyed by some of the more silly powers (fairies coming out of your hair clip? Really!) and general confusion over levels of the Soul Society. If I had to chose, I would choose Naruto. However, when no one was looking, I would still watch Bleach on the side.

I think that if you like one, you'll like the other

I think that we cannot judge the two together as they are not same. Storyline, characters, maturity level, etc are different. Personally, I like both. I think bleach has more seriousness in it and its characters are patterned to be likened by teens and idolized by children while naruto's characters are modeled to be likened by children and teens alike. Both has some share of cool scenes and moves and both also shows some comical scenes.

I have watched both series but personally I prefer Naruto to Bleach. Don't get me wrong, Bleach is awesome, I just personally like Naruto a lot more. I can relate to the characters in Naruto more and there is just something about the show that appeals to me more than Bleach does.

This is a really great question. I have been asking myself this question ever since I started watching Bleach a few months ago. Naruto is a lot farther in the storyline than Bleach is, but Bleach is on a more mature level I think since the characters are older, but I really can't say. On one hand Naruto has way more episodes and we've seen the characters grow and mature and fall apart and all, but then with Bleach its like newer and exciting and...you know I really cant answer this one! I really dont know. They are both number one to me.

it's all a matter of taste, in my opinion. it's like asking if pepsi is better than coke. personally, i like watching them both. i have watched naruto longer so i would probably pick it over bleach, which i have only started to watch recently. bleach has awesome fight scenes and some interesting characters just like naruto. it's also got a lot of humorous scenes so it's not boring at all. although, i have to say that i really like the way that most of the main character's background stories in naruto are inter-woven with each other. i have to agree with the one who said that if you like naruto, you will like bleach as well.
