Do I have to have finished the OG anime run to understand what’s goin on in this? I always get stuck on the Bount arc

Bount arc is filler and can be skipped, same with some of the other ones later on but yeah you might be a bit confused if you haven’t watched everything that occurred before

Do not watch the filler arcs. Look up a guide and skip the filler episodes.

Why are you watching the bount arc? You realize it's filler right?
Godsfallen t1_j1sfudq wrote
Cause, like most people, if I’m sitting down to watch a show I’m going to watch all the seasons of a show. I’m not just gonna go “eh, I’ll skip this season”

While that’s a good approach for most things, it’s absolutely a terrible approach when it comes to anime.

Yeah, I used to watch filler before finally understanding what it was - empty plotlines that will never connect to the main one. Naruto was terrible about this, because the show tried to make it seem like the filler would someday matter or payoff. After a filler episode or filler arc, characters would be like "visit us someday!!", and "I hope to see you Naruto when you become Hokage!!" and Naruto would be all "Yeah! That'll be great! Believe it!"
Never heard from or seen again.

Well most shows don't include entire seasons worth of what is essentially fanfic which is almost literally meant to keep children occupied while the story continues in manga form....just skip it dude

Bleach has TONS of filler though. Not necessary for the main story at all

But they did have some good filler the zanpakto revolt was excellent

It was 45% filler which just beats Naruto's 41%.

Filler episodes aren’t canon material. People aren’t saying to skip it because it’s bad (though it is), you simply do not need to know anything that happens in a filler arc because it’s entirely inconsequential to the plot.

I'm with you dude. If I'm gonna watch an anime series, imma watch the whole damn thing. I get filler arcs aren't always the best content but Bleach has decent filler. I actually enjoyed the Bount arc and I've seen lots of people say the same. Stick with it. Bleach is great.

Not really, of course it’s always best, but I haven’t watched any of the original either and just watched this recap video on YouTube and I’m doing fine understanding it.

Just skip the bount arc it isn’t important, it’s filler.

Yes it's a straight continuation.
That said the old anime is painful to watch. It drags and there's alot of filler.
I suggest the manga or reading/watching a summary.
