[edit] Marking Filler

Can we start putting an asterisk next to the titles of filler episodes within non-filler arcs? It is difficult to determine which ones are filler and which are not. The solution to this was to write which ones were filler in the paragraph before the arc's episode list; however, this is not happening. The Hueco Mundo arc's paragraph is a good example of effectively noting which episodes are filler, but the other arcs don't do this. I think putting an asterisk next to the title would be a faster and cleaner way of marking them that wouldn't take up too much space on the page.Whoa2000 (talk) 23:10, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

No, episodes are episodes, and differentiating filler from non-filler at such a base level is a pointless exercise at best. Even so-called canon episodes have filler, so readers can be content with a general idea. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 23:38, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
That "general idea" isn't really given, though, as openly as it is in the Hueco Mundo arc. And an asterisk would be much cleaner than adding to a paragraph. Whoa2000 (talk) 00:47, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Except asterisks aren't part of the title, and can't be added to the outside of the quotes. Single episodes being filler is not relevant. The big-ol' bount arc is filler, which we note, and major smaller blocks of filler are noted as well. It is irrelevant if Don Kanoji has some miscellaneous adventure or something like that. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 01:23, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Though it wouldn't hurt a damn bit just to indicate which are predominantly filler. Some people want to know, while others, like you, don't give a shit. I see no harm whatsoever, and never will, in marking them. - Renegade78 (talk) 06:33, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Asterisks were just ONE idea. Something similar that doesn't mess with the quotes or whatever could be used instead. Like an asterisk in some other field. I don't understand why people are against this. Believe it or not, there -ARE- people who would be interested in knowing which episodes are filler and which are not. This would not destroy the article in any way, nor would it require a lot of effort to implement this. This is legitimately relevant information. The word "filler" doesn't even need to be used if that's what we're trying to avoid. It could just be noted that an astirisk [or whatever is used] indicates that the episode 'was not based on the original source material from the manga like most episodes are.' That or just call it 'filler;' I think either would work.Whoa2000 (talk) 16:22, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Where exactly do the Arc names come from?

Where do the arc names and the list of episodes they contain come from? If that info is from the Japanese DVDs, shouldn't the Arrancar arc end at 131 and episodes 129 on be the Arrancar: Hueco Mundo Infiltration arc? According to store listings at neowing.co.jp, the DVDs of episodes 110 - 131 (link) list the arc as "破面 出現" which translates to "Fracture Face Appearance" which would be listed here as "Arrancar Appearance". Likewise, the two listings that contain episodes 132 - 139 (link 1 and link 2) have the title "破面・虚圏 潜入", which translates to "Fracture Face . Empty Circle Infiltration", which would be listed as "Arrancar Hueco Mundo Infiltration" I'd like to if this information is relevant before before making a series of somewhat major edits and page moves. --FortMax (talk) 21:50, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Though we should consider making a new arc (would maybe be from 166 onwards), I suggest to wait for the following (probably) 4 episodes in April to consider any arc arranging. Though Infiltration is a neat word itself, it can't reach enough episodes to fill it up. (Based on what has been decided and reached since the start of this article.) We are looking more of: "Hueco Mundo: The Assault", "Hueco Mundo: Battles Commences", "Hueco Mundo: Shinigami versus Hollow", "Hueco Mundo: Saving Karakura (or Orihime)", "Hueco Mundo: Aizen's Scheme", "Hueco Mundo: Countdown", etc. Just my thoughts, if you still are determined to split everything up, it'll definatly take alot of work and conversation-battles. Ge4ce (talk) 09:08, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
It appears that episode 155 is the start of another arc according to this listing. This arc is titled "破面 激闘篇" literally "Fracture intense fighting". I'm not sure how it would actually be translated. "Arrancar Battles Arc", Arrancar Intense Battles Arc"? Anyway, this split is inline with Bleach arcs usually having about 20 episodes. The first Bount arc seems to be the one exception. Anyway, the arcs should be split ar they are in the official releases; the fine points of the names can be taken care of by a bot after the sames are settled on. Perhaps I should bring this up on the Bleach Project talk page? --FortMax (talk) 19:28, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Adult Swim air dates

Being a sub man myself I really don't care enough to keep up with the dubbed version but what I do know is that just because Adult Swim may or may NOT be continuing to air the program doesn't mean that the show has been "cancelled" as such can someone either confirm Adult Swim's plan for the show ban the user with IP 24.145.179.210 (either for poor editing ability [I had to go through nigh on ten edits to find an unadulterated version of the page] or for posting factually incorrect material).GreatMizuti (talk) 15:47, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Episode 167

Does anyone have a source for the title of this episode and whether or not it is canon? Thanks. Big red01027 (talk) 23:40, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Format question

Considering all of the arcs have individual pages, can someone please explain to me why this list has such huge plot summaries for every arc, instead of just having a nice clean episode list with the main links? -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 06:32, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rename episode lists

To List of Bleach episodes (season x). Seriously, the current titles are really weird, and I would hate to have to explain it to a reviewer at WP:FLC. Here for an official source, indicating that the first list is season one. Sephiroth BCR (Converse) 00:34, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
