The kind of heart I was talking about is when you gradually have emotions flow over you. Yes, Naruto and One Piece have their moments, but sometimes they try to force you to feel something, which I don't really like. Bleach feels more natural, it does not go "feel happy," "feel sad," it lets you gradually feel whatever emotion Kubo is trying to get out of the reader without is being forced. This is a weak point of both Kishimoto and Oda, and Kubo has a distinct advantage over them in this department(well maybe art too, but that's my opinion). Kubo literally lets character's have a mind of their own and in a way Tite Kubo does not write Bleach his characters do.
