if possible dont watch the bount arc its complete torture and never ending has to be the worst arc of the whole series.
Will it really end at “The blade is me” Episode in Thousand Blood Year War ? It’s cliff hanger.
We don’t know when, but Kubo is working on another arc called no breathes from hell. It is 10 years after the 1,000 year blood arc.
End in “The Last 9 Days”
doesn’t bleach technically have only 5 real arcs in the whole series? We got the Substitute arc (1), Soul Society arc (2), Arrancar Arc (3), Lost agent Arc (4), and finally the Thousand-Year Blood War arc (5)
It’s true, but the Soul Society and Arrancar arcs can also be subdivided into smaller parts, which is what we did in the list!
Technically although filler the bount arc has to count because alot of characters and powers explained there become Canon in thousand year blood war
cool
Neat
To anyone who’s watched the filler arcs — Which is your favourite? Which ones are worth watching and which are really bad? cuz I finished watching Bleach exactly today, (without fillers) and I want to go back and watch all the fillers.
The bount arc is the most boring thing I’ve ever watched
Haven’t watched Gotei 13 Invading Army so i won’t give any opinion on that, but for the rest:
– Bount Arc (0/10): Absolute trash, one of the worst arcs i’ve ever watched in my anime watching career. For comparision, it’s as bad as Boruto’s filler arcs, but at least Boruto’s filler arcs end pretty quick, this Bount arc lasts forever, completely torture.
– The New Captain Shūsuke Amagai Arc (5.5/10): Not really good but not that bad, it gives you somewhat relaxation when the new captain is such a cutie and badass at the same time, the plot twist is ok, not mind blowing but at least when watching it i can tell the scripting team did actually put some effort onto the script. Whatever i just complimented are for the first episodes and the last episodes. The middle episodes of that arc are kinda trash but of course not Bount-level trash.
– Zanpakutō Unknown Tales Arc (7-10): Pretty well done with the plot, like they could be an official arc and i wouln’t mind at all. So i would recommend this arc
The bount arc is the worst arc that I have ever seen in an anime ever. Absolutely atrocious.
Im currently on the Arrancar arrival arc and theres a lot of good fillers it it. But its getting kinda boring because everyone is still training and fillers are good but also boring. When will Ichigo op? i like op characters
don’t watch filler
Why not? A lot of people say that some of the filler arcs are worth watching??
the filler isnt worth the time you should just watch the cannon eposiodes its way more fast paced and good
Past arc was best. Change my mind
tywb. No need to explain
lol
Too many corny scene but its fun because of inoue b**bs
what arc is this…
lol
dope
