I plan to start bleach and I think I will skip the fillers. So if you watched it, what do you think of Bleach fillers?

Yes.
Soi Fon thirsting over Yoruichi in the fillers and in the fillers alone gives a serious impression of Twitterian headcanon and it's beyond cringe.

I watched all of it but I wouldn't recommend it. Bleach has some of the worst filler I've ever seen. They also pop up at the worst times but I guess you could watch them later if you do decide to go through them

i watched the whole thing but honestly skip them most of them aren't even worth the time but id suggest to watch the zanpaktou rebellion arc it's the only filler i ever advice people to watch it's probably in the top tier of any filler arcs as far as im concerned

I skipped the fillers at first because it disrupts the flow of the main story but I went back to watch them after I finished the show. The only filler arc I haven't watched is the bounty arc because everyone says it's boring but honestly every other arc is really good. Some are unnecessarily stretched out, but I still think they are worth watching if you become attached to the characters and want to know more. Especially the zanpakuto rebellion arc (which is semi canon) and the gotei invasion arc. They also have some great fights.

I never skip fillers cause I have some mediocre sense that persists to make me watch the entire thing no matter how bad it is

Skip the fillers and keep a guide with you, they pop up at the worst time possible

Yes because they're infamous for being terrible, even back in 2007 when I first began watching the series.

I mean 60% of Bleach is filler. I will maybe return to watch them though if I ever find myself having nothing better to watch.

I’d say look up the filler list and skip them but I do recommend watching the Zanpakutō Rebellion and Invading Army filler arcs once you’ve finished everything that’s canon.

I watched all the fillers, and I have to say that I enjoyed most of them, and if I ever decided to rewatch bleach, I would probably watch the fillers again. All the main villains are also decently well developed. Watching fillers would just mean for me as just watching more Bleach.

I watched the whole anime with fillers, and it depends, i watched all of them because i fell in love with Bleach after i started watching. If i would feel like it's a mid anime i would just skip them. So in my opinion fillers are great, just Bount arc sucks 😂 But if you start liking Bleach i definitely reccomend to watch at least Forest of the Menos, Zanpakuto arc and Gotei 13 invasion (and beach episode ofc 😁😁)

Most of Bleach's filler isn't worth the time. Go ahead and skip them if you want.

However, I do remember enjoying the Halloween and beach episodes. As well as the Zanpakuto Rebellion. It was a long time ago when I was a kid, but they probably hold up since I can still recall them after all these years.

Might as well. Its mostly fanservice.

...Unless you are here for that. Out of the Big 3, Bleach has the best character designs.

i watched all. bount arc has gotta be the worst arc i've ever seen, which is crazy because it's right after soul society arc iirc - which is still the best. the beach episode one was the best filler by miles. most fillers were meh but zanpakuto rebellion arc was good but gotei 13 invasion was underwhelming because i was told that's the best filler arc.

The only filler I watched was the 3-episode Forest of Menos arc. Otherwise I skipped all of them, no regrets. Might get to them later but I'm not counting on it.

I actually watched most of the filler episodes but skipped the filler arcs, except for the that one with the kid who’s clan was making illegal shikai’s. The filler episodes were fun but the arcs were really boring.

Yeah def. I finished bleach without any fillers and I felt more than satisfied. Can’t speak for the quality of the fillers, but I don’t feel any extra story in the series is needed.

Imp I think they r worth watching, but a lot of people say that they are bad so I think it's a matter of opinion, but at least bleach fillers r better than most anime fillers.

the Zapakuto Rebellion arc and the Reigai arc are amazing filler arcs, but I'd recommend skipping them for now and catch up to the canon material first. You can always go back and watch them if you want to, they're very well animated and fun to watch.

I don't know why but I watched it all. I regret watching the bount arc though but it still counts as an experience.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

I skipped them all and I don't regret it. I gave some of them a chance and watched a few minutes of filler eps here and there and instantly disliked them. I missed nothing besides a handful of visually entertaining fights and goofy antics. None of it has anything to do with the plot or literally gets written off as "just a dream" and I think takes away from how good the anime itself is. Not worth the watch for any of it imo.

On my first watch I knew they where fillers but a friend of mine told me to watch them at least once. Upon rewatching before TYBW came out, I skipped the filler.

honestly, I didn't want to skip episodes but man Bounts arc was so damn annoying that after watching 20 eps I skipped the whole thing. I liked the Zanpacto arc, the rest I would say they are good to watch of not worth to watch. However I do recommend you to watch the fillers which are not based on extra stories, you will find them very amusing and with spending time.

When I first watched bleach I didn't even know what filler was so I watched all of it. You can skip fillers beacuse there's a lot of it.

When I watched Bleach, skipping the filler arcs/episodes was a great way to watch it. It is currently my #1 anime, and I think my opinion would be different if I watched fillers.

The one thing I see online when wondering whether to watch filler episodes or not is to skip filler and then go back and watch them after you finish the canon episodes. I found that after I watched Bleach and Naruto, I didn’t want to go back and watch filler because I already completed the show.

It really is preference, some filler are really good and funny, I like how filler takes your mind off the main story and usually gives you a good laugh.

Let me know if you agree!

I personally wouldn't recommend watching the Bleach fillers, but if you're like me who will watch the whole series all the way through then sure. It's fine if you don't watch the fillers, but if you want to because I did. I would recommend trying to watch other anime series if you get bored because I remember being bored of one anime series called Naruto & I was close to dropping the whole thing because the fillers just bored me, but luckily a friend of mine told me to watch another anime & then go back to watching that anime with fillers if you're the kind that can't skip the fillers. I can't skip them because I have a O.C.D. problem. So yeah. Anyways I hope you enjoy watching Bleach. ^-^

I watched all of it but I’m about with everyone else. I wouldn’t recommend the fillers unless it was absolutely necessary to watch. There was some filler I genuinely enjoyed like I didn’t dislike the different filler characters and some fillers were fun to watch. But if your going to watch the series now I’d skip it.

I have only watched like 10 episodes of Bount Arc, A few episodes of Zanpakuto Rebellion Arc, All singular episode fillers, Forest of Menos and Reigai Arc.

I mostly skipped them because I wanted to finish Bleach before TYBW aired but If I'd have started it before I probably would have watched them all. I just don't feel like watching fillers after completing the show.

ye cause i had nothing better to do lol

Bount Arc: Has some enjoyable parts, but is WAY too long(seriously, 46 episodes, Pierrot?) and just mostly weakens characters to show how "strong" the Bount are and ultimately is skippable. I only enjoyed it because I like the 4:3 Era of Bleach and I binged it in like 4 days(I'd recommend binging it to just get it over with)

6/10

Captain Shusuke Amagai Arc: I actually... hated this more than the Bount. The whole A plot with the new captain was cluttered and honestly super boring, but the B plot with Ichigo and the others felt stronger. The end of it has a good battle but that's about it.

5/10

Unknown Zanpakuto Arc: This is probably my most controversial take, but I honestly didn't like this that much. The fights were good and probably some of the best in Bleach filler, and the story was good, I just didn't really like Muramasa as a villain and felt he was defeated a little too quickly. Still a great Arc though, but the Sword Beasts segment was unnecessary and just dragged it out too long.

7/10

Gotei 13 Invasion Arc: Hands down the best filler in Bleach. The whole idea was super cool and the fights had a lot of charm to them and stakes. Nozomi was a good new character, and the arc not only gave us a break and bridge point from the Arrancar Saga to the Fullbring Arc, but it also had some great foreshadowing, such as Ichigo's powers. The final battle was some had some of the best animation in Bleach(this was around the Fullbring Arc as well which also held that standard) and is definitely worth watching.

9/10
