Bleach Filler List and Chronological Order Complete Guide 2021

PostedAt: Wed, Oct 6, 2021 11:27 AM

Some people like to watch the whole anime and experience everything, but some people don’t like fillers and tend to skip them. Bleach, one of the most popular anime series ever, has a total of 366 episodes, of which 164 are filler episodes, which is a lot. This is why we have decided to make the complete Bleach filler list guide, so you can see which episodes you can skip.

Bleach ended in 2012 and if you haven’t seen it during its original run, you might want to inform yourself about whether to watch all of the episodes or just the canon ones.

For those of you who have watched anime and actually like it, the process of getting through all the episodes of a very long anime is a well-known one.

Why? Well, because of fillers, of course! Filler episodes are present in anime adaptations of manga series and are content that is not present within the original manga.

Filler episodes are original narratives included in the anime that doesn’t follow the manga and are often added for practical reasons, i.e., because the manga is running late or the anime has adapted all of the stories published until a certain moment, thus filling the gap between new manga stories with original narratives. Some Bleach fillers are here to tell us more about its world and some are here to tell the stories of some Bleach characters.

This is why we decided to give you a detailed list/guide on watching Bleach, so that you know which episodes are canon and which are fillers.

How Many Fillers Does Bleach Have?

Bleach ended its ruin in 2012 with a total of 366 episodes. The anime adapted nearly the whole manga, with the exception of the “Thousand-Year Blood War” storyline, but it was recently announced that even this story would get its own anime treatment.

Out of the 366 episodes, Bleach has a reported total of 163 filler episodes, which is a very high 45% of filler material (nearly half the show!). Most of these episodes belong to the five filler arcs, but there are also individual episodes of groups of episodes that are filler content.

Can You Skip Bleach Fillers?

Bleach is one of those anime that has a surprising amount of fillers and you might wonder whether you have to watch an additional 163 unrelated episodes or not.

Well, Bleach‘s fillers aren’t really considered to be masterpieces, so you can actually skip them, especially the filler arcs. You might want to stick around the individual episodes since there aren’t that many, but the filler arcs are completely “skippable”.

Is it Worth Watching Bleach Fillers?

Fillers take up almost half of the whole Bleach anime so you’ll certainly wonder whether it’s worth it to spend so much time watching unrelated material that doesn’t really add much to the main story.

Well, if you ask the fans, Bleach‘s fillers aren’t really that good, or they’re at least significantly worse than the canon narrative.

If you want to perceive the whole story, you should certainly watch everything, but if you’re wondering whether the fillers are worth it – they’re not.

How Long Would it Take to Watch all of Bleach?

If you intend to start Bleach from episode one and watch the whole show, you might as well know what you’re getting yourself into.

Bleach started in 2004 and ended after eight years and 16 seasons in 2012. Bleach was a very special anime and an amazing adventure that we highly recommend, despite a large number of fillers.

An episode of Bleach lasts somewhere between 22 and 24 minutes, but we are going to take the latter number into consideration when making our calculations. As we’ve said, there have been a total of 366 episodes of the anime. So, where does that put us?

total of 366 episodes of 24 minutes means that you have a total of 8,784 minutes of material to watch. If you’d be able to binge watch that, you would need exactly 146 hours and 24 minutes, or 6 days, 2 hours and 24 minutes to watch the whole series.

Why is Bleach so Long?

The primary reason why Bleach was so long (although there are longer anime series) is that it was a weekly manga, which means that it was meant to last as long as it’s popular and as long as there were people who wanted to read it.

And since its popularity was only increasing over the years – not just in Japan, but globally – the authors had a solid amount of time to tell their stories and finish it the way they wanted, and this is the principal reason why Bleach is longer than a large number of other manga and anime series.
