I feel like I've exhausted all the praise I can heap on One Piece, but suffice to say, it's amongst my favorite anime of all time. It's excellent in almost every category. Naruto will always hold a place in my heart too, regardless of fillers and the rest, that story has woven itself into my life over the last decade and I'm now well beyond the point of clinically saying whether it's "good" or "bad".
That leaves Bleach, which I've never especially liked and quit watching some time ago now. The music in the anime is god-awful, especially compared with the wonderful scores contributed to One Piece and Naruto, but basically, it's the characters in Bleach I don't like. They are too pretty, too one dimensional and not especially empathetic. No-one dies, so sacrifice is pointless, it lacks characters like, to name but a few, Zabuza and Doctor Hiruluk. Ultimately, it's way below Naruto and One Piece in my estimation, and come to think of it, also well below Yu Yu Hakusho and Rurouni Kenshin. And dare I say, I even enjoyed Dragonball Z more than I enjoyed Bleach.
