Animes That I Do Not Watch But Everyone Else Does (and their mangas)

[Spatvark]

A quote:

Anyway, so I'm only 3 volumes into Bleach, but I'm ready to list the reasons why it's better than Naruto (of which I read ~32 volumes):

-- The narrative pacing is actual...narrative pacing.
-- Girls do things other than whine about Sasuke
-- It's a personal preference, but I like the art style more
-- A single fight does not take 6 volumes to reach its conclusion
-- Characters do not spend entire fights explaining the flow of their chakra, or explaining in great detail how their SEKRIT ULTIMATE MOVE works. I like this. I don't care about the schemantics behind somebody's bad-ass fight move. I care about who gets hit, who hit them, how cool it looks, and who dies afterward.
-- It's actually funny, when it tries to be funny
-- The characterization that protagonist Ichigo gets in volume 3 makes me care about him a lot more than I ever cared about the protagonist of Naruto.

Now this is related to the manga, but would you say this was accurate?

I know very little about naruto and absolutely nothing about bleach, so uh, ITT you try to teach me about them :D

I guess I differ from a lot of people on this, but for me, Bleach went downhill after the Kingfisher arc, and basically lost all the momentum of awesomeness that it'd built up. On the other hand, I actually quite like Naruto. God knows it has its flaws (and deeper ones than some of the more superficial ones mentioned so far), but it's kept me entertained for quite a long time.

You seem to have a logic error there, based on what I've watched of bebop.

Not really.

There's what, three, four, episodes of actual plot? Everything else is just filler. Good filler, no denying that, but filler nonetheless.
