That's why I liked Naruto much more after I finally read it. Bleach was my first "big" manga, y'know, a manga with +400 chapters. So I thought it was the best manga I ever read, but after I saw more anime and manga, I realized how simplistic Bleach is. It's basically this: A new species appears, Ichigo realizes that he is "half-that species" and finds a new power because of this, Ichigo beats the strongest of that species with this new power and so the cycle repeats.

I loved how the fights develop in Naruto. They actually think of what to do in order to win and come up with plans to beat the strongest enemies given that most of Naruto's fights are seen from the POV of someone weaker than the enemy and so they can't win without finding a weak spot or creating a plan. But that resulted in realizing how Bleach is all about who can create the bigger explosion or who hits harder, period. It was disappointing.
