Your friends seem like shonen battle tards. :p I read your creeper thread. I've seen all of those series your friends mentioned. And trust me, the only way you'd like
Naruto more is if you're okay with the author not giving any character much development apart from the main characters and there being plenty of fillers.
FT if you're okay with nonsensical fights that almost always end with an OHKO due to the power of friendship.
Bleach if you're into fights. Just fights and more fights.
I like all of them for different reasons. Naruto for the pretty amazing part one of anime. Bleach for the amazing first arc. And fairy tail because sexy women lawl. But better than OP? Puh-lease. Either way, I'd recommend you watch stuff like Death Note, FMA: Brotherhood and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann instead of naruto, bleach or ft. :] They're all amazing experiences.
