Bleach Comprehensive Filler Guide (Easy To Follow)
Season 1: The Substitute (Episode 1-20)
This is the first season of Bleach Anime. The Substitute is directly based on Tite Kubo’s manga so it’s all Canon. Not even a single episode is filler, so everyone is good to go here. The plot incorporates the early glory days of Ichigo Kurosaki who became a Soul Reaper (also known as Shinigami) after receiving the powers from Kuchiki Rukia.
This arc started airing on October 5, 2004, and the last episode (20) aired on February 22nd, 2005. The Substitute is also known as the “Agent of the Shinigami” arc. It’s licensed by VIZ Entertainment currently.

Season 2: Soul Society: The Entry (Episode 21-41)

After giving her Shinigami powers to Ichigo, the Soul Society set her up for execution.
Season 2 aired from March 1, 2005, to July 19th, 2005. The Entry is also owned by VIZ Entertainment and it is one of the most beloved arcs for Bleach fans as well. Only episode 33 is filler in this case. The other ones are all Canon and it gets intense as the episodes go on.

Containing twenty-two episodes in total, this season incorporates the events occurring when things get even more heated up with the Soul Society’s higher-ups. Will Ichigo be able to save Rukia? Let’s find out.
The Rescue Arc aired from July 26, 2005, to January 10, 2006. This season is currently distributed by Warner Bros. Animation. There’s only 1 filler in this entire season which is kinda crazy! (Just wait and you’ll see what I’m talking about)

Season 4: The Bount (Episode 64-91)
Welcome to the world of fillers, my ninjas. This is where things get confusing for the fans out there. Instead of going for Tite Kubo’s Bleach Manga, this one is a separate one. And yes, my that, I mean that this whole season is a filler one. A lot of people are skeptical when it comes to the Bount arc. Personally, I loved it. It incorporates the story of Bounts, a race of humans that take the souls of humans to consume and become powerful. Their battles with Ichigo and his friends are just crazy!
Season 4 of Bleach aired from January 17, 2006, to August 1, 2006. Consisting of 28 well-animated episodes (some people might disagree here,) and it’s still licensed by VIZ Media.

Some of the most epic fights happened in this season as the Soul Society was directly involved with formidable opponents.
Season 5 of Bleach aired from August 8, 2006, to January 4, 2007. This season also contains all filler episodes too. The animation is something we can’t ignore. This is the moment where the animation went way higher. It’s just unexplainable and exciting to watch!

Season 6: The Arrancar (Episode 110-131)
Arrancars were probably the most annoying enemies you can ever see in an Anime. It’s a guilty pleasure for a lot of people, however, this series changed the lives of Bleach watchers. They couldn’t sleep properly. (Just kidding). Containing twenty two episodes, the plot contains Aizen announcing war against Soul Reapers with the help of Arrancars. More like, Aizen forced them and became their leader. This where you’ll have an idea about who really are the Strongest Characters in Bleach.
Season 6 of Bleach aired from April 18, 2009, to July 11, 2009. It is mostly Canon but there are some fillers that you can easily avoid.

Season 7: The Arrancar Part 2: The Hueco Mundo Sneak Entry (Episode 132-151)
Arrancar: The Hueco Mundo Sneak Entry arc is probably the most famous in the Bleach Anime. The storyline follows Ichigo’s journey to Hueco Mundo immediately after Inoue gets kidnapped. This was all planned by Aizen, however, Ichigo is mad and wants to go all out.
Season 7 aired from July 4 to December 5, 2007. This is where the fight got intense and everything was a wreck for Ichigo and the other Soul Reapers.
