A Guide to Watching the Bleach Anime – Without the Filler Episodes
Dec 11, 2024
Similar to its shonen rivals Naruto and One Piece, the long-running anime is notorious for having frequent filler material. Roughly one-third of the Bleach anime is nothing but fillers, with a few episodes being filler/canon hybrids. For more casual anime fans, it's no problem to watch everything, filler and all, but story-focused fans would rather cut the fluff. The manga's always an option to avoid filler, but the Bleach anime definitely deserves a watch.
New Bleach fans who'd rather focus on the real story and save time can skip the filler-only episodes. Further, they can watch the mixed filler/canon episodes along with pure canon ones in order not to miss anything. This means skipping over 50 filler-only episodes, but they're not even all grouped together. Instead, these filler episodes are sprinkled throughout the longstanding Bleach anime, meaning new fans may need a guide on where to find and avoid those surprise filler episodes/arcs.
Updated on December 9, 2024 by Timothy Blake Donohoo: The Bleach anime franchise has returned to prominence in the 2020s, causing many to be nostalgic for the original anime. With Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War in its third cour, many want to know how to watch Bleach without filler. There's a lot to cover, so knowing which Bleach episodes to skip makes this ambition a lot easier in terms of a rewatch.
