For some reason my fyp has been full of bleach edits with Phonk music over it and now I really want to watch it even although I’ve been planing to watch it

If someone could also give me a good website to skip all of the filler cause isn’t like 40% of the anime filler and then tell what to skip and not to skip please

Then where are some places where I can watch it I only have Crunchyroll,Netflix,Prime Video and soon will be getting HIDIVE

Don’t know if I did the poll thing right if I didn’t my bad

I'm planning to do both depending on how well I like the series. If I had to choose one or the other. With Bleach I prefer Dub. I like who they have for VA's

both the sub and dub are good honestly i don’t think none of them are bad since i watched the both of them
here’s the filler list:

Bleach actually has a very good dub so it’s whichever you’re more comfortable with honestly.

English Sub ftw
When the characters say "BANKAI" You know when something's going down!

The sub is better in my opinion. But if you generally watch dub then go for the dub, it's pretty good too. As for the fillers, you can watch the show on aniwatch which has all the fillers marked.

both are good. just watch which you feel comfortable
I mean (if you only understand few words of Japanese and you watch sub. you consecrate on sub titles can't see the animation without getting distracted by reading sub titles. you will miss a lots of details) if you understand Japanese (without subs) then watch sub

if it wears any other anime I all ways recommend watch sub. iam only telling you to watch Dub or so
because dub is just as good as sub

WhaI normally do is if a show is based in Japan I tend to watch it in Sub at times however if the show is in a European country I then watch it in dub just to get the immersion. Like let's be real it would sound weird if a show is in Europe and the characters are European and they speak Japanese out of the blue😄

I’m sorry but if you want to stream bleach legally you will need to get Hulu or Disney plus depending on where you live. Thousand year blood war is a hulu original in America, and a Disney plus original in UK, Canada, and Australia/New Zealand, because of this the first bleach series is also streaming exclusively on one of those two depending on location.

As for filler, I’m certain somebody already posted a link to a filler guide in this thread, and once you get to thousand year you’re filler free. I personally watched all filler, and I can tell you the only filler arc that can actually fit into the story and is worth watching is episodes 317-341. It even helps to watch this filler arc because episode 342 which is for the most part canon references this arc, making it an anime original arc instead of filler, it also adds a big chunk of screen time to an otherwise underdeveloped character. Most bleach filler doesn’t fit into the story at all and has terrible timing, or doesn’t add much to the overall story, I highly recommend this arc because it has great timing, and as I mentioned before it actually adds to the story, and should instead be considered anime original because it is directly referenced in the following canon episode.

I also notice you’re posting on thousand year blood war instead of the first show, you should be wary of spoilers.

Idk why, but it’s not letting me edit.
I forgot to mention that I am exclusively a dub watcher so I may be a bit biased, but the dub is good, and ichigo sounds so crisp. Regardless, I’d say chose whatever feels the most natural for you, and whichever you normally prefer.

I know some people that feel like dub voice actors don’t put enough soul into the characters they’re voicing, some that are bothered by the occasional mouth movements that don’t line up with what the characters are saying, and others that have a non-sexual fetish for listening to Japanese people speak (Trust me, they exist, and they will hate on dubs and sometimes the people that watch them, and try to find any explanation to justify their desire to listen to Japanese people speak, for absolutely no reason other thinking that their voices sound cool).
If you’re apart of the first group, rest assured that the voice acting is good, and the voices all suit the characters well. If you’re apart of the second group then maybe watch the sub instead. I have a feeling you’re not apart of the third group, or else you wouldn’t bother making the poll.

I would suggest sub as I feel it's lot better than dub.
however, Bleach's dub is not as bad as One Piece.

Sub then dub on rewatch . There are moments where they equal like with shinji saying a special something in season 2 the performance was amazing in both, but sub is more consistent

Sub bro, always subbed.. however, I will say that the dubbed isn’t too shabby. Most dubs are god awful but this isn’t bad. I would still always recommend watching a show, regardless of anime in the language it was designed to be watched in. At the end of the day, this is just another man’s opinion. Do what you want, watch it how you most like it.

I used to be a dubbed guy thick and through but after watching subbed, I never went back.

Honestly, really depends on what you’re used to. I’m watching Cardcaptor Sakura in Latin American Spanish right now, and it feels perfectly natural because I’ve never heard the other versions. In Bleach’s case though, you simply can’t replicate the thickness of a Bankai from a Japanese VA.

How did you watch the previous 300 episodes? Continue that way.

If you didn't watch the previous seasons, then:
Do you know Japanese? If yes, then watch sub.
You don't know Japanese? Then watch dub.

It's simple as that...

@Yaggamy If OP spoke Japanese there'd be no reason to watch it subbed, they could just straight up watch it in Japanese. Also, I'm fully against that whole sentiment, it's a matter of which voice actors are better, which script is better, etc. not which language it's in.

Bleach is a show you have to watch in Japanese (with subtitles if you don't speak Japanese, without if you do, obviously) because not only is the voice acting miles better, but the script is so different I'd almost put this in the same category as 4Kids dubs...(it did air in the era after all...) I'm sure the dub gets better as it goes on, but I couldn't sit through the first few episodes dubbed, they were just way too different from the original for a non-4Kids dub.
