Ended up started Bleach all over again because I needed something playing while I played Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon, and I had already finished Gurren Lagann, so now apparently I'm rewatching Bleach as well. At least I didn't choose Naruto, that would have been annoying.
Because I don't want to watch a show I'm interested and invested in when I playing a game at the same time, otherwise I won't be able to do both at once and only be focusing on one or the other. At least Bleach i've already seen, so I can play the whole show while playing my 3DS without worrying too much about what's playing, since I already know what's going on. Better than playing all of DBZ, at that point just listening to fillers would annoy me
Why not watch Kai? It cuts out the filler. Also, complaining about listening to DBZ filler? Bleach is the KING anime of filler.
compared to DBZ? I think not. Not too mention Naruto, where the first series is half filler, while a good 1/3 of Shippuden is filler, and it's not even done. Bleach is nothing compared to other shows when it comes to filler.
DBZ had some good filler. Gohan having school problems just before the Buu Saga kicked off? Would have watched an entire series based off this. Unfortunately we got Super instead.
Really? Those 12 episodes or so with all the stuff with Gohan being Saiyaman was kind of annoying in my opinion. The only reason I don't skip filler is because sometimes filler is canon to the storyline, like the Bounts in Bleach, so they might recall it at some point, and I don't want to be confused on anything.
Bleach at least does most of its filler as entire arcs or stand-alone episodes (which are often ridiculous and easy to know its filler). I get annoyed when filler segments are a few episodes long, or worse when they run along side cannon stuff eating up chunks of episodes. I watched all the Bleach filler anyway, but at least I know going in that I don't need to pay much attention.
Ever read the book? The original series was probably 40% filler, give or take a little bit, while Kai was smart and followed the manga more accurately without the filler. Of course, once Super came out, there was no material to follow, so we'll have to see what filler we get with that one
