I will say....I don't really like Bleach that much.....especially after it's first story arc. In fact, I actually enjoyed it at first, and then I had to stop reading it.
HOWEVER! I like it infinitely better than Naruto. The whole "whining about Sasuke" thing drives me crazy, for one thing...and really...I just found it stupid all around. You're right...at least Bleach has what seems to be some semblance of a story. Plus the female characters (Orihime and Rukia--well, Rukia at the beginning) actually have personality and can hold their own in a fight. I REALLY like Orihime. She's one of the main reasons I can actually deal with Bleach in a lot of regards. I've not gotten too far into the second arc (and I read like 4 volumes of Naruto before deciding that it could go to hell), so I'm not the most credible source, but if I were picking, Bleach is definitely the better of two pretty bad series that everyone seems to love.
