Bleach Filler List
Bleach's filler sits in one entry: Bleach has 162 filler episodes out of its 366 (44.3%), flagged episode by episode below from the MyAnimeList community record. Skipping the flagged episodes saves about 62 hours. The watch-order guide has the same flags built into its free tracker, with a hide-filler toggle.
Filler counts are shown per entry and never averaged across entries: parallel continuities and spinoffs are different shows, and blending them produces a number that describes neither.
