The one with the zanpakuto spirits is good, though, since we don't see most of gotei 13's zanpakuto spirits in canon.


Also, the story with Ashido when the gang infiltrates Hueco Mundo is anime original. But it's decent.

228 the beach episode is essential. I hear the Zanpakuto Rebellion filler is decent but I haven't seen it.

If you watch Bleach bc you love the cast and animation style watch it! If you end up bored just skip.

But for an anime like Bleach i respect everything, heart and soul the creators put into it for us. So i watch it in totality. There is a growing consensus “filler is trash, so is Bount arc.” But alot of the minute details they slip into it are integral to the overall story and they poured their heart into production bro.

It should be left up to the individual viewer, so at least try it out!

Best approach in my opinion is to skip all the fillers on you first watch, finish the canon storyline and then come back to see the good filler arcs .

They are good. But I generally tell people to skip all Arcs that don't have the Aizen plot as well as the filler episodes that aren't about the storyline. Then I tell them if they enjoyed the Aizen Arc + Fullbring after they finish to double back and watch the other arcs after the TYBW. The pacing is too slow in Bleach nowadays to keep attention spans in today's anime watchers. They really need to give bleach the dbz kai treatment! Clean out the slow pacing for the new generation of watchers.

Whether you watch with filler or without, I'd check those sites out, just so you know what is canon and what isn't.

The first filler arc caused me to drop the anime and just read the manga instead. Waited until it was over then watched with a filler guide, which is what I recommend other to do.

No, they are overwhelmingly not worth your time.

The filler are basically "because the soul society used to be much more strict than today, lot of people have a bone to pick with them".

For what it is worth, apart from some individual filler episodes, I couldn’t even tell the filler arcs from the canon arcs

Whole series is not worth the watch
