Is it true that Bleach gets better if you skip all the fillers, /a/?

It gets better the more you skip.

Bleach gets better if you skip the entire thing

Skip the fillers, watch up to Aizen's defeat, if you're not hooked stop watching there.

>>161191333
nah

Everything up to saving Rukia and Ichigo vs Byakuya is fantastic. Seriously, it's still good even today.

Ichigo learning to control his mask with the Visored is worth watching.

Then after that, watch up to Ichigo saving Orihime from Ulquiorra (skip filler if you can, there used to be full fights on youtube with all the BS cut out). Ulquiorra is actually pretty well written and the final fight, while definitely not as good as the one with Byakuya, is still good.

AFTER THAT... it's kinda weird. You don't want to skip too much because you'll miss out on some story elements. Aizen does have some cool moments as well, but there is a lot of filler. It's worth sticking with it for the final fight with Aizen though.

>>161190476
Bleach gets better if you stop after Soul Society arc.

NOW YOU FEEL LIKE NUMBER ONE

I enjoyed some of the filler, but overall Bleach was a massive let down anime and manga wise. I'd recommend seeking something out better.

I still think Bleach is the best if you change the order of when fillers come so they feel less like fillers and more like actual time in between or time passing. Watching the zanpakuto rebellion arc after aizens betrayal actually gives you some information about zanpakutos before the whole hueco mundo attack. I believe it was 6 months before they went into hueco mundo after aizen left? Not sure. You can follow it up with the shusuke amagai arc which I also kinda liked, though I believe this one was first so you'd probably have to start with that one.
I guess you can watch the nozomi soul mod arc as well but I personally didn't really like it apart from the last few fights and I cant really remember how all of that went in terms of ichigo's power.

Try skipping the anime and going straight to the manga.

>>161190476
it gets better if you watch it ironically. take it seriously, then you just want to bash your head against the wall.

also applies to Naruto and One Piece.

>>161193635
But the anime is fantastic, unlike Naruto and One Piece.

>>161191731
Basically this, but by the time you reach the giant filler arcs you'll already know if you want to skip them.

Fillers were the best part.

>>161190476
Considering that the Zanpaktou tales arc is the single best thing to ever come out of Bleach, no.

>>161191731
The actual fight against Byakuya is really mediocre. The most thrilling part is seeing Ichigo go Bankai and it's all downhill after that. The Ulquiorra fight is the opposite where it starts mediocre and builds to a good climax.

>>161190476
45% of Bleach is filler and most of it is bad, although there are some good standalone episodes and a handful of good moments from the filler arcs.

>>161190540
>skip the last 50 episodes and also half the stuff before that
Maybe just don't watch it.

I actually think the hueco Mundo part is just as good as the soul society arc.

>>161198659
Well, fillers are special kind of episodes. Especially that two of the arc amounting to 50 episodes appear during another arc and have no place in the timeline and can be cut off without anyone noticing. I would never advice people to watch them in order, if only because they disrupt already bad pacing.

1. It's 13 Captains

2. 3 of them defected after Soul Society leaving 10

3. The Captains never became a major enemy force again after they had that huge split in Soul Society.

>>161190476
As for OP, read the manga. The anime is filled with continuity errors, filler arcs, filler bleeding into the cannon, and changes to the time frame of things.

>>161191731
I would say that the good arcs are:

Soul Society (9-20)
Pre-Reaper (1-8)
Arrancar Arc (21-32)
1000 Year Blood War (55-74)

Only Fake Karakura Town War and Fullbring were the bad ones.

>>161192636
>>161198243

Zanpakutou Rebellion is another shit tier filler arc though that has massive continuity errors the size of craters.

Kubo's entire part one (1-48) and the 1000 Year Blood War are objectively better than it.

>>161190476
It never gets any better. The entire series was poorly planned out and the guy writing it should be hanged.

>>161208884
>Look, it's Shadow the EDGE-hog.

>>161190476
The Zanpakuto Rebellion is a great filler arc, make sure to watch it.

>>161190476
yes, but only marginally so. In my opinion, it never gets any better than the soul society arc. After that it just goes down hill, but it does have some good moments. I had fun watching it, even though it was a total shitfest. It's an anime more about spectacle than anything else, and that's not up everyone's alley. Just go into it with realistic expectations. Kubo has even stated he doesn't give a fuck about story, he just wants to draw cool shit.

Many viewers dropped it on the last arc and that was part of the main story.

>>161190476
actualy bleach filler is far well done if you compare it to naruto and OP filler, too bad the series overall was trash desu

>>161209452
That's not power levels. Power levels have to do with numbers Shadow the EDGE-hog. Seriously, if you want to do that comparison, look up Seven Deadly Sins and how much they do power levels

Characters 'teleporting' doesn't equate to power level. That's just speed.

>Many viewers dropped it on the last arc and that was part of the main story.

You mean the filler arcs? Because they didn't drop it during the main story. The main story was trying to keep the audience while the fillers were constantly causing the audience to run away from it.

>>161190476
Bleach is much more enjoyable if you marathon read the manga. Studio Pierrot is usually shitty at adapting shows, but a few episodes of the Bleach anime are worth watching.

>>161190476
Watch the intro-arc, the re-imagined intro-arc, the bount arc, the loli filler, the gigantic penis monster film. Save the 'cake' filler episode (an episode about cake) for last.

Bount and Amagai filler arcs were terrible.

Zanpakutou Spirit filler arc was pretty interesting and entertaining, but I think there were about ten episodes after the final fight which were SoL and showed the antics of the spirits and the Shinigami. That was literally filler within a filler.

I thought the Invading Army filler arc was pretty good too, considering. The plot made for some good fanservice fights. The green-haired girl was insufferable though.

The stand-alone filler episodes were all terrible, worst one being "Yumichika bakes a cake".

that and the pocket slit in the hakama with nothing under it

Bleach is like if a master chef started grilling an incredible cut of wagyu beef. He uses the freshest seasoning and marinade, and gives you a glass of high class wine.
Then the chef leaves the grill to do something else and his retarded intern assistant starts throwing shit all over it and overcooks the hell out of it. So you start eating it and deal with it because you already paid for it, but when you get halfway finished the dipshit assistant takes your steak, eats most of it, spits on it, then gives it back to you.

That's Bleach.

Gintama fillers are great, and they're also very low in number (think about 10 out of like 280 episodes?). When they do one, you know the studio knows the characters and the humour.
I wouldn't say that it's worse without the filler, but for filler episodes they're actually really great and I've never seen a long-running anime do filler just right like in Gintama. I guess it helps that they take breaks every now and then instead of churning out episodes every week for seven years.

>>161222271
Well if you exclude the filler in Gintama you would start on episode 3. I think the first 2 episodes are a must.

Just about everything is better if you skip the filler, that's a given, but I've heard good things about the sealed sword filler. I stopped watching Bleach well before that, but kept up with the manga.

I actually really liked the Bount arc which was all filler. I'd say that part is worth a watch, but if you can skip the rest of the filler episodes (I'm sure some site lists them all) you'd enjoy yourself a lot more.

>>161209811
>Right now you're only 5th or 4th seat level
>But if Hogyoku reacts to the person with two times the reiatsu of a captain, it can almost reach its full potential
>Weird, you've said you'd fight on a vice-captain level, but so far it's only been 5th seat level. -Exacta!... now it's 4th seat level... now 3rd seat... and now vice-captain!

Quotations are from memory, numbers are never clearly given, but they are there, they're often compared with each other.

>>161223301
but seath levels depend on the faction they're under. A captain of 4 is weaker than one of 13

>>161223345
>A captain of 4 is weaker than one of 13

Are you trying to say that Unohana was weak?

>>161223345
I've just given you quotes from the manga. But if they say "you are 4th seat level", they likely do not mean "you have 4567 units of spiritual power just like 4th seats", but more like "your spiritual power falls somewhere between 4000 and 5000 units, level attained by most of the 4th seats" or something like this.

>>161223540
But that's not true. Being a 4th just means you are fourth in your faction. Whatever they may specialize in.

>>161209287
How come Bleach got cancelled because 'too many fillers' yet Naruto got to continue with nothing BUT fillers for like 1-2 years straight before finally ending (and this was AFTER the manga ended, meaning they had no excuse for dragging things out so long)? Hypocritical cunts.

>>161223599
Because Naruto was more popular.

>>161223588
People are known to move between squads, especially if a vacant occurs with no one suitabl for the job in this squad, and not all of them specialize in something. In fact, we only know 4 do, with two more as a result of personal unions. Besides, both Urahara an Hisagi acknowledge there is some designated level of power for 5th seats and they were in Gotei for decades, oddballs will happen, some people will refuse promotion or hide their power level, but in general it's like that.

>>161223345
The Captain Divisions are not ranked at all. It goes 1 (Yamamoto) >= 5 (Aizen) >= 4 (Unohana) >> 8 (Kyouraku) = 13 (Ukitake) >> everyone else roughly on the same tier with different specialties (ie Soifon and Byakuya in speed, Zaraki in raw power etc).

>>161223750
Early SS arc Kenpacchi was worse than Byakuya in roughly everything (assuming taking eyepatch off doesn't give bigger boost than bankai).

Watch/read up until the end of the Soul Society arc then drop it. Kubo is a hack, the story never had an long term goal or any real direction, he also never planned ahead so the longer it went on the worse it got. One of the worst examples of serialized manga in that regard.

Aizen and Kyoraku had a good relationship as captains(Shunsui was the only one to call him Sousuke kun before the betrayal),or high mutual respect at least, to the point of Aizen being inspired to change his hair to look like Kyoraku's- the hair noodle I mean.

Aizen wasn't in the first arc. And if you mean the Ryoka Invasion arc, that wasn't Aizen being defeated. Hell, he killed the "Number One" song that was being used as Ichigo's theme tune at that point, BTFO some captains and then ascended into the sky.

I like Bleach.

I don't even care but my strong autism senses say this should be reportable. Do you also go around telling people aerith dies too ?
