Right, so I was thinking about it... and the English dub (which is all I watch) is only on episode 220 and they only air a new episode on Tuesdays, assuming they're consistent and don't take any "breaks" from airing new episodes... the Japanese version is on episode 338.
That means, it would take 118 Tuesdays to catch up.
12 months in a year
4 Tuesdays a month
48 Tuesdays a year
In other words, 2.46 years.
I can't wait that frackin' long!
...gonna just download the Japanese version for the remainder. You know, if they didn't bother dubbing all these god damn fillers, we'd already be caught up...

I doubt they won't take a break or two... or 10.

omg... 227-265 is all filler!
Anyways, the Japanese version isn't all that bad. I think I'll just finish all of it with the Japanese. It's not as hard to read as I thought it'd be. Just some weird things like using last names for Ichigo all the time and little things like "howl" instead of "roar".
And just a reminder, guys: This isn't Bean Rua.

I should point out that the Zanpakutou arc was the best filler I've ever seen in anime, though I ultimately stopped caring about the series somewhere after episode 300 or so.

Hm, so you think the Zanpakutou Rebellion is worth watching?
Alright! I'll give it a shot then.
I mean, I enjoy some fillers. Like the Bount Arc for instance. It's just stupid ones like that retarded 2-3 episode filler with Cone as Kamikurizer or whatever, and that stupid Princess-whatever Arc, and crap like that where it's just stupid and especially how they cut it out right from the middle of a fight in Hueco Mundo to go there and tell that random side story... made no sense whatsoever.
By the way though...
Since filler arcs are essentially side stories, is it critical that I watch it in the order that it's presented, or could I, for instance, continue with the main story just to find out how that goes then go back and watch the filler arcs (side stories) after I'm done? Or... will there be important information referenced in them that is mentioned later or something? I mean, 38 episodes is a lot...

I don't remember the later episodes referencing the filler arc, as this particular filler wasn't even in the manga at all, iirc.
What I found most interesting about it was really seeing the personification of the different people's weapons. I liked guessing the shinigami for each zanpakutou, and in the credits you can see silhouettes of the human forms as well before you actually see them in the show.

Do you get to see Kenpachi Zaraki's?

I don't think so. The arc doesn't feature all the shinigami, and so not all of their zanpakutous appear either.

Are you sure this arc is good..? It's stupid as hell so far... and random.
It started with back when everyone was meeting, then a random beach episode... @_@

well in Japan Culture as if you were talking to a business man here or something Last names are used for respect :/ though not allot of animes show it...
as for those episodes being "Filler" theres a big difference to me what IS and ISN'T filler if it ties into the story like a backlogged story that helps the development of characters then sure, if its cool and does the previous cool, if it's something we already know and has been shown 1000 times over ~cough SasukeStorycough~ then gt fo right? but anyways the bounto filler arc wasnt bad but since the last Story arc finished i haven't watched any.
anyways I liked the Materilization Arc, Zabimaru <3 lol

Well, unlike most filler (the kind that retells stuff the viewer already knows and has heard dozens of times before), I actually looked forward to watching the next episode. If you liked the Bount arc, I don't know why you wouldn't like this one.
P.S. The stuff up to and including the beach episode is the usual trash/fan service type of filler. Wait for the actual side-story to begin (marked by Matsumoto trying to talk with her sword).

First names being used is sometimes rare even among friends.
But, seriously, the only filler I regretted watching was the Bount arc. Which we can ALL agree on, yes?
