Don't know about you guys but I'm wondering what's going on with Bleach. So we're in a filler period now but does the music has to be so much like Naruto's music? I'm afraid of what this might suggest... that Bleach go do something stupid like Naruto and have so many episodes of fillers (I feel sad for those who bought the Naruto series).

Maybe I'm just being paranoid and about to go crazy waiting for Bleach to get back to the actual story (Naruto too for that matter). I like watching long series but the fillers are absolutely pointless.

I wonder when's Bleach gonna finish with the fillers and get it over with the Bound. They're not that interesting imho. I'd rather be watching how Ichigo deals with his hollow issues and stuff like that. Someone tell me why Bound deserves to remain in?

I hate this storyline too. I understand where they thought they were going with it, or how they felt it would tie in, but it feels so off.
I honestly think they're just buying time so they don't catch up to the manga so quickly. But I would have taken more in the way of episodic fillers regarding ichigo doing his duties on earth than this story.

that's why it's called a filler arc idiots

20 fillers and no one of the baunto (sp?) have died so far...so XDDD i guess anothers 60-70 eps until we go back to the manga plot...
but well for that time they would have make all the characters on the anime do something that spoil momments from the manga... or things that doesn't appeal to characters
the music is stupid i hope they don't add it for the arrancar arc cuz it would sucks

Another alternative would be for the series to take a break off the airwaves till the manga moves farther ahead. I recalled this was done with Inuyasha when the production staff took several months break before resuming again. And I think this was done several times.

When dealing with series going over a certain number of episodes, it is inevitable to enter long periods of filler episodes. I sometimes wonder why the Inuyasha route wasn't taken. It frees up manpower to take up other projects while waiting for the manga to gain some distance from the anime while avoiding the filler pitfall which can potentially alienate majority of the grassroot fanbase (who are more interested in seeing story development instead of seeing their characters doing things which aren't getting them anywhere). But I guess there are business implications which might only be known to those within the company. =\

Luckily for me I don't follow Naruto XP.

If you follow the manga you should know that there is not enough material on the current plot arc for the anime team to make more than a few episodes [10-15 eps maybe], and after those episodes, then what?. They can't leave the story hanging just like that, they'd have to insert more filler eps in the middle of the story, which is even worse and more troublesome than making a whole season of filler eps. That's the only and more than enough reason for the Bound to remain in.

In all honesty though, I think it would be better for the anime team to put Bleach "on hold" and wait a year so the manga progresses enough on its current plot arc and then make the anime adaptation of it. At least I'd rather wait a whole year without Bleach than having a whole year of filler eps.

Still, people that follow both Bleach and Naruto say that the Bleach filler eps are way better than Naruto's, maybe because Kubo Tite supervises the filler eps?...*shrugs*

I really don't have much of an exact idea how long this current Bleach filler will last but it seems to be entering a climax.. or at least a stage near it. There shouldn't be a whole lot more, the way I see it.

Actually, the lady Bounto, the two kid Bounto, and the four-eyes Bounto have been killed thus far.

Well i've just started bleach so im not up there. watched 1-22, and about 41-73. so dont ruin it for me except one thing, do you ever get to see more than a glimpse of him and his hollow side, because that and the awsome fight scenes(plus 1 or 2 other good things about it) is what attracted me to this anime. Better than naruto(fillers end in a week) but ill still watch both.

I agree with you and Dias on this one.

But with the Bound, they're not contributing to the story at all. They're no where in the story as the story thus far has shown - they're not interested in the strifes that's going on. The only thing that might save them to be involved in the storyline is that they could be manufactured by Soul Society. Like Kon. But if that's the case, they should get Kon more involved in the story rather than making him the kick-around-stepped-on mascot.

And there are some parts that seem to be almost tinkering with how the actual story in the manga goes. For example, in the manga, when "Ichigo & Friends" return from Soul Society, Uryuu Ishida says that the next time we meet we'll be enemies. This is consistant in the manga. However, in the anime as it is right now, what he said was nullified. Right now, that's the very obvious flaw that I saw. The other that's unconfirmed is how Uryuu's gonna restore his powers. Is he going to get them in the fillers? Or will the anime follow the arc back to the actual way of how he's gonna get his powers back.

Oh yeah, it's better. Cause the Naruto ones are brainless and you'd probably want to burn yourself to death rather than watch through the whole set, if you've bought it.

if you have read the latest chapter. you'll see that Ishida is going with them to save Inoue's ass. which also means he has gotten his quincy powers back. you don't have to take fillers seriously has they don't have any connection to the main plot at all. that's why it's called a filler

I dont like fillter as well~it is so boring and it waste my time to watch them, especially Naruto

Somehow, there's a little info about this filler that makes sense to the arranca arc like for example how Ichigo was able to us his bankai again in the real world were there is low spiritual energy level but that of Ishida's regaining of power seems in conflict because he was training for it in manga. i supposed that the one he is using in bounto arc will eventually get destroyed.

Well, I don't have to take fillers seriously is correct. However, if the fillers are trying to work themselves into the actual story, that's a different thing. Then we can talk about how they worked the fillers into the story and whether they did a good job or bad one.

Oh no please dont say that
i havent seen BLEACH get and you tell we it will go in the same way as Naruto, filled with senseless fillers
what a disappointment
