Gintama or Bleach

415

After I finish all seasons of Attack on Titan, I decided that I will go on a journey to watch a really long anime (anything 200+). I couldn't figure out what to watch however. I have also heard that Bleach might be getting a reboot and would like to know if this is true because if it is then I will just watch Gintama and wait for the Bleach reboot. Suggestions? Ideas? or maybe a different super long anime for me to watch (If you say one piece i swear)

Not that i'm biased (peep the avatar photo) but you will definitely enjoy Bleach. I haven't gotten around to Gintama so I can't speak on it.

I am in the middle of rewatching Bleach and I am skipping the longer filler arcs and I have to say it makes the story more fluid. Personally for the first watch I never skip fillers tho. Battles can be a little lack luster compared to others in the genre until late in the show. But, I truly love the characters and I really enjoy the story. Just my take on things as a Bleach fan :)

I would say that if you are going to watch Bleach, skip the fillers (because a lot of them are annoying and boring, especially the Bount filler Arc. I found the other fillers okay, but still weren't that enjoyable).

Watch Bleach if you are wanting straight Action (more of a shounen), Their SoundTracks are pretty Dope as well
Watch Gintama if you want Comedy (Basically the whole show is made up of comedy and drama, action arcs only starts in later seasons).

And idk about the Reboot of Bleach, I thought they were going to make a season for the Final Chapters which didn't make into the Original anime.

  @kosuke well put! Bount arch is definitely the hardest to get through haha I found just skipping the fillers that were more than 10 episodes really helped on the rewatch

Gintama better because it starts of good and gets better and better however Bleach gets really good then has a harsh decline after soul society arc

I watched both and i loved both, so cere's what I have to say:

Bleach is the tipical shounen and it's full of fillers (Ithink it's almost 50% of the episodes). I still reccomend watching them since some are pretty good, and also because you want a long anime. The fights are amazing as well as character design. I would use the word "badass" to describe bleach. Lastly no, it's not getting a reboot, its last arc is finally getting adapted in 2021 and it soul be around 75 episodes (it' just a spculation).

Gintama is honestly a masterpiece in my opinion, it's hilarious and it has some of the best fights I've ever seen. Amazing character development as well. Since it makes fun of many other anime, I usually reccomend watching many other anime before, but looking at your "completed" list, you should be fine. A movie adaptation for the last arc is coming shortly.

So the final answer is: watch gintama now, watch the movie when it comes out (I think winter 2021 but I'm not sure) and then watch bleach

Maybe is too soon for you to watch gintama and bleach isnt good so i would go with yu yu hakusho( same creator of hxh and was considered the perfect shonen for 10 years by the shonen jump) or jojos

Bleach is one of the best anime there is. You should definitely watch it. It has some of the coolest battles in anime and for once a cool protagonist.

If you don't like fillers I can give you the filler list, so you know which episodes to skip.

  Here are some other really good longer anime:
  DGrayman DGrayman HALLOW Katekyo Hitman Reborn YuuYuuHakusho InuYasha
  Dragon Ball Z Kai
  
  But you should definitely watch Naruto and One Piece, too.

  I’m planning to watch a new series but at the same time I want it to be worth it. Should I start Bleach first or Gintama? Which one is more fulfilling?
