Should I watch the Bount arc? (Bleach)

I’ve been watching bleach for a while now and really enjoyed the first 2 arcs but I have some concerns about the next arc I’m on which is the Bount arc. People are saying the whole thing is filler and when asking people half said to watch while the other half said to skip because it’s not important to the main story and said it’s also boring. I don’t know if I should watch it because I watched one episode and thought it was a bit slow and not interesting but I’m really enjoying the show and don’t want to miss any important information. What should I do?

It's not bad...just watch all of bleach don't let people sway u about filler episodes....

PsychicAC2025-12-31 03:37

You can or you can skip it it's entirely up to you. I recently read through the manga for the first time and after reading have just been bouncing around filler arcs watching until I get bored.

There's definitely better filler arcs but if you just want to see the cast talking a lot and having fights you know they are ultimately gonna win with almost no character development then I say go for it.

TohsakaTruth2025-12-31 03:38

No. Watch all of the canon first and if you’re still really interested in seeing the filler after that then do it.

BigWillBlue2025-12-31 03:39

bount arc would be fine if it wasn't like 60 episodes.

It's fine to skip it

Naive_Hope892025-12-31 03:43

No, its the worse of the filler arcs, watched back then (i was there Gandalf, 3000 years ago) without knowing what is a filler and i went like "damn, this was so strange and sucked so bad after what just happened.
It has a great beautiful moment though, Kenpaichi vs the other guy final fight. Its easily the worse of the filler arcs, if you want to watch filler arcs, save it for others.

Nomar_952025-12-31 03:47

it's filler, so no.

2ktisas2025-12-31 03:47

You can skip it and then re watch all the filler arcs after. But you might be confused about why theres suddenly a bunch of talking dolls.

Watching all of Bleach *with* the filler arcs is quite a hefty investment.

I, too, love Bleach and even like most of the filler arcs because I think they’re fun “what if” stories and I just really like the world of Bleach so I want more of it however I can get it.

That being said, I would highly recommend skipping all filler until you are at least caught up with the currently still airing/ongoing Thousand Year Blood War arc. The final arc is just that good.

If you still want more after that, then by all means watch the filler arcs. They are an okay watch, really pretty decent by general anime filler standards.

As someone who watched Bleach from beginning to end, including the fillers...why not. I actually quite enjoyed the Bount Arc. But that's just me!

sp0okyboogie2025-12-31 03:50

I actually didn't mind it. It was the amount of episodes for that arc that made it hard.

CivilSenility2025-12-31 04:06

Skip all of the filler in Bleach, it’s total ass.
Then again, Bleach itself is pretty ass starting in and around the hueco mundo arc so you might as well watch the filler since it doesn’t set the bar much lower.

Makenshi_Madou2025-12-31 04:12

Give it 3 episodes and if you like it then watch it, if not, skip it.

Mammoth-Train58412025-12-31 04:21

Thanks!!!best recommendation I’ve been given

solo_leveling1282025-12-31 04:27

My favorite is right after this which is the visord arc, things sort of slow down during the bount arc. If you enjoy bleach enough it is fine but it does drag for a bit.

Mammoth-Train58412025-12-31 05:37

I just watched about 3 eps right now and to be completely honest it’s not bad. I enjoy how it focuses on mini arcs but my opinion might change over time.

solo_leveling1282025-12-31 07:42

It's all good. When I first watched bleach I thought it was fine.

Mammoth-Train58412025-12-31 15:35

Does it get slower and worse over time?

solo_leveling1282025-12-31 17:36

It just takes like 50 episodes to wrap up but they end up fighting in the soul society, after that you get some episodes of soul reapers fooling around in the human world. Stuff like playing soccer, cooking, etc...

Makenshi_Madou2026-01-01 14:17

No worries homie, glad I could help! That’s my go to strategy for whenever I’m trying to decide if I watch something.

kazuyaminegishi2025-12-31 05:12

Just skip the Bount arc. Bleach has some okay filler, but that is not one of them.

Its incredibly long for starters and it is incredibly lazily animated as most of the moments of that arc are literally just copy-pastes from Soul Society even down to the locations they take place in. Which is especially egregious since it follows directly after the Soul Society arc.

zanotam2025-12-31 06:18

I think the Bount Arc was the first time in my life I skipped ifller after making it maybe half way through. it's *bad*
