tbf all of Bleach's fillers can be skipped so fillers being the biggest reason as to why the show gets dropped by so many makes no sense to me. but even if fillers weren't skippable by some people for some unknown reasoning then by this logic Naruto would be dropped more than Bleach considering that Shippuden alone has more fillers than Bleach and including part one's fillers on top of this then Naruto has almost twice as much filler content as Bleach.
MAL has existed since the 2000s and Bleach in their database ever since, so all those drops accumulated over the years while Bleach was still airing. When realising this, it's not all too surprising that the anime has such a high drop count when you'd get 40-episode long filler arcs interrupting canon arcs (and sometimes just before a climactic highlight of the anime), thus destroying the anime's momentum and tarnishing the series' reputation. It doesn't help that the worst filler arc followed straight after the anime's best arc (and dullards who think the Bount arc is actually canon and believe Bleach fell off as a result) and that the Arrancar arc in the anime was already sluggish.
There are people in this thread who seem to be under the impression that it's the slow first arc, but that's a lie when the plot kicks off in 16 episodes with the arrival of Renji and Byakuya in Karakura Town and the Soul Society arc begins within 20 episodes (not 30 lmfao), which is standard classic shounen pacing meanwhile One Piece takes 200 episodes to get 'good'. I'd say the OG anime alone is a better adaptation than the other two 'Big 3' and that it generally has better fillers than Naruto, but in terms of the placement of those fillers, it's no doubt far worse.
And yeah, Naruto technically has a higher drop count indeed but it just doesn't show it thanks to the series being two separate titles.

Honestly, you'd think the majority of people who browse this forum (Bleach 2004) are actually this stupid if you've lurked it enough. Not to mention every other thread on this forum is a topic on how to skip fillers when there's already a sticky for that and if you even SHOULD skip fillers 💀
