I am one of those people who will watch every episode once. However after that I will skip the filler episodes. Which in Bleach’s case there are whole filler seasons. Thus I have put together the below list so that you can watch Bleach and avoid most of the filler.
The episodes in each arc to watch for the straight story of Bleach
Main Arc 1: Soul Society Arc
Watch episodes: 1-32; 34-49; 51-63
Main Arc 2: Hueco Mundo Arc
Watch episodes: 110-127; 138-167; 190-203; 206-212
Main Arc 3: Fake Karakura Town arc
Watch episodes: 215-226; 267-286; 288-297; 300-302; 306-310
Main Arc 4: Substitute Soul Reaper Disappearance
Watch episodes: 342-354; 356 and watch through till the final episode, 366.
Arcs to Skip:
- Bount Arc 64 – 109
- Captain Shūsuke Amagai Arc 168 – 189
- Skip Zanpakutō: The Alternate Tales Filler Arcs 227 – 266
Episodes that are filler:
- 33
- 50
- 128-137
- 204 & 205
- 213 & 214
- 227 – 265
- 287
- 298-299
- 303-305
- 311-341
- 355
Well there you have it, now you can skip the filler completely.
Maybe some day they will re-release the series with reduced filler (sort of like Dragonball Kai.)

I hope so, and now that the manga is done I hope they complete the anime, whether it is a remake or continuation I don’t mind. I just want the full completed Bleach anime

Same opinion here! Since the end of the Anime, I still have not read the manga yet. I’d really prefer if they make a sequel instead of a remake though.

The only thing with a sequal is will they get the same Voice actors? That is my main concern

Shūsuke Amagai was an interesting captain I thought. However the arc he was in…is just bad.

Thanks for sharing. I can never remember which episodes are filler when someone asks me. Ilike the Bount arc but the other 2 I can pass on.

Same here, that’s why I originally made the list. Some parts of the Bount arc are good others I just skip the same with the Zanpakuto arc, some bits I watch others I don’t bother. 🙂
