I was just curious about people's opinions on Naruto and Bleach. Are they too slow, too fast, not enough story, not enough action, too much action, etc?
Personally right now, I think that Bleach is starting to pick up a bit. The last two or three episodes have shown a little bit more story, and not just fighting. I loved the part when Orihime slapped the dude (I won't say names or anything, no spoilers). It's little things like that I miss in both series. Naruto definitely has something going for it right now, but sometimes the fights are way too long, much like a Goku spirit bomb ("I am ALMOST there!!"). Both series have intrigue still, and a little bit of mystery, just not as much as the beginning stories (obviously, since you don't really know too much about it in the beginning). I believe even now though that there are probably few stories that could beat the beginning arc of Bleach. Just my opinion.
Thoughts, opinions?
Also, just wanted to point out that I have seen some anime that I love more than the Bleach beginning story, so it's definitely not the 'end all', awesome story line. Just saying, it was awesome, to me.
