One Piece is pretty gay.BUT, I've only seen Toonami's English dub of it. So who knows what bad assery I'm missing?
Shit like Zoro getting stabbed in the gut and lifting a huge steel cage with his blood and guts squirting out.
And this was early in the series.
Another thing that bothers me about Bleach is that it follows Dragon Ball Z's retarded "power level" physics. In every fight it's basically the same thing:
Character A and B fight.
Character A begins to lose. Character A morphs(shikai).
Character A begins to win. Character B morphs(shikai).
Character B begins to win. Character A morphs again (bankai).
And so on and so fourth, until someone runs out of morphs or they're final form is weaker than the opponents form. It bears a resemblance to Dragon Ball Z in terms of the super sayin forms. There isn't any actual intelligence required to watch the fights, actual intelligence and tactics are rarely even used by the characters themselves. It's a "dumb", manga.
That's not to say that people who like the shows are dumb themselves, all I'm saying is that I, personally, prefer more thought provoking fight scenes, the kind that make me think "huh, I wouldn't have thought of that." Bleach has less of those fights and more "Tug-of-War" styled fights, while with Naruto it's generally the other way around.
Unfortunately, Kishimoto staretd to copy a bit of that style with the curse seals, which are basically just shikai and bankai wannabes with the same simplicity and lack of thought, although the neji/Kidomaru fight was brilliant.
I just got back into bleach after dropping it for a while. The anime right now is horrid, way to much censorship and crappy animation. The manga as of now slightly down in quality, but it's picking up. . .Wish I could say the same about the anime. Anyway, I choose Bleach easily, Naruto's been dead to me post chunin exam.
I'm actually surprised by the amount of Naruto over bleach opinions. I'm a fan of both of them, although for different reasons. Naruto has more drama and emotion to it, but I love the bleach fights, and the characters in both shows are cool.
Except Sasuke, he's a bastard. Also I dont care much for Hitsugaya.

I've never seen beyond seven minutes worth of random Bleach clips and I agree with that, I've lost my place as a Naruto viewer because of it.One Piece I've never had any particular care for.
The Bount arc was at least tolerable.
