One way of reducing the watch time is to watch Bleach without fillers. Bleach filler episodes usually have less relevance to the ongoing plot and have unsatisfying fight scenes. For quite sometime Bleach filler episodes have been omitted due to its unpopularity. Given below is a list of episodes according to the Bleach watch order that you can skip if you don’t want any deviation from the storyline.
Bleach Watch Order – Bleach Filler Episodes

Bleach Canon-Filler Episodes
This anime is also famous for the Bleach Canon-Filler episodes. There is a slight mix of both types of episodes, so we can’t categorize them as either one. Most anime fanatics prefer to watch canon-filler episodes.
Here’s a list of Bleach Canon-Filler Episodes: 27, 32, 46, 109, 111, 116, 119, 141, 143, 146, 156, 160-161, 190, 193, 206-207, 209, 222-223, 267-268, 274, 276, 285, 288, 290-291, 295, 310, 342-343, 345, and 351.

The same goes for all the Bleach Canon-filler episodes as they play a relatively important part in the anime’s structural storyline.
