They're both filled with action (a lot of it!), drama, and slight romance. You can have a look at the review for Naruto here, and the review for Bleach here. Both of these reviews were done by me, so if there's something you're not sure about, feel free to ask me.

Other than that, i can't think of any others besides, naruto and bleach, though mystical shadow angel has already mentioned it.

The hallowed stadiums of Japanese baseball become a battlefield as the bats crack, the sweat flies and every hard-earned run becomes another step in the long road-trip to victory! Sizzling sports action and gripping drama intertwine as nine young women come together in the acclaimed series that has fans cheering around the world!

When looking for a new anime series to watch, one thing you might want to try is to watch something that is completly different then what you've seen in the past... (who knows, you may discover that you like something that's different...)

One of the biggest sleeper series that has a honored spot on my DVD collection shelf is a Baseball Anime series put out by NHK (Japanese Public Broadcasting) that's called 'Princess Nine'...

If you want drama, this series has more of it then a dozen typical action anime series. This mid-90s anime series is about average in animation quality (and has the typical low frame-rate count of that period), and the story is full of plot cliches, (but not the ones you expect to see in a sports anime series...) and suffers from the typical sports anime ending... But this series is simply the best written drama story of any anime series I've ever seen. Everyone I've loaned this series to has lost many hours of sleep, in an attempt to find out what happens next, as by the second DVD of the series, nearly every episode ends on a dramatic cliff hanger... ADV Films distributes this series and has an affordable collection brick, but forget about the cheesy english dub... Straight Japanese with subtitles is the only way to watch this series...
