Bleach Watch Order: Where to Start

366 episodes, four big filler arcs, and a comeback. Here's the spoiler-free order — what to watch, what to skip, and where each piece fits.

1

Episodes 1–63

Canon straight through — the Soul Society arc is the peak of early Bleach.

2

Skip the big filler arcs

The four big ones: Bount (64–109), Amagai (168–189), Zanpakutō Tales (230–265), and the Invading Army (317–342) — plus scattered one-offs.

3

Finish the original run (through 366)

The Fullbring arc closes out the 2012 broadcast.

4

Thousand-Year Blood War

The modern continuation, in release order by part. This is the payoff.

💡 Filler-skipping cuts Bleach by roughly 100 episodes. When unsure, a filler list is your friend.
