How did Naruto and Bleach get popular?

Naruto? Are you fucking kiding me? Worst show ever. Naruto blows balls. Now bleach kicks ass! Best anime ever made! Although. The bount arc and the princess arc sucked ass

because the plot is very powerful and compelling and the characters are not stuck in the same level. as the series continuous, they tend to grow and mature.. the two series does not focus only in battle but it also gives attention to camaraderie, friendship and a little bit of romance.. and because shonens are mostly for kids attention, they are given lessons to learn as young ones. like how to be strong and brave, to protect and cherish friendship, to keep family values and give importance to it.. and to move on albeit tragedies come thy way.. kawaii.. hehehe

I don't find Bleach as a children's show. Sry. I just can't see it that way.

Since when did Naruto become popular? Only Naruto Shipudden did become popular. But Bleach is still better

They both have great 'Gods' ;).
And its a really difficult question to answer.
