Forum:DVD Box Sets 1 to 8

So I am thinking buying the Box Sets of the Bleach Anime Series from 1 to 8... question, do you think the sets I can arrange according to the manga... by excluding the fillers... I saw the Box sets and just wander how the CDs being arrange or is it contain only 1 Cds or many. Appreciate for any info.Soulreaper1234 (talk) 13:30, September 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * I have the first 3 seasons. There are usually 5 DVD's per box set and 4-5 episodes per DVD. Also, the DVD's are arranged by episode numbers, so the fillers aren't on their own separate DVD (excluding filler arcs). Also, the Box Sets are cheaper at Walmart. For example, I bought Season 2 for $32 at Walmart while the website said it was $50. Finally, when you buy a Box Set, CHECK ALL DVD'S!!! When I bought Season 1, I found out I had two Disc 3's and I was missing Disc 4. I hope this helps.ADhype421 (talk) 14:50, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks looking forth too!!!Soulreaper1234 (talk) 16:22, September 6, 2010 (UTC)

I owned Seasons 1 and 2, which a piece had 5 DVDs on them (4 episodes a disc). I assume Season 3 runs the same way, but Season 4 (The Bount - Part 1) has significantly lesser episodes and this trend continues even today. Season 4: The Bount - Part 1 is episodes 64 to 79 (16 episodes) and Season 4: The Bount - Part 2 is episodes 80 to 91 (12 episodes, 3 discs). Season 5: The Assault is episodes 92 to 109 (18 episodes) and concludes the Filler segment of the anime. So basically, boxsets 4, 5 and 6 are ALL filler.

Season 6: The Arrancar (? I don't know the actual name, it isn't on the boxset coverart) contains episodes 110 to 121 (ANOTHER 12 EPISODES) is the most recent one that will be released at the end of this month. They're basically splitting the Arrancar arc into 2 parts like they did Season 4. Viz is milking us for money again, though they've done it with Naruto for long enough already...so be ready to pay out 30 to 50 bucks for this when it's out.TVthePunisher (talk) 21:46, September 6, 2010 (UTC)

Actually Viz has the season #s right, season 6 only has 12 episodes. That is a mistake a lot of fans had made. Season 6 only covers volumes 21-24 of the manga. Japanese tv seasons are different from us tv seasons. Their seasons are based on story line not episode count. Season six covers the arrival of the arrancar. Season 7 covers the visored training and the fillers. Itunes has the correct season #s. --Lemursrule (talk) 22:14, September 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Very interesting, thanks for that bit of information. Now it makes A LOT more sense with how they handle their boxsets.  Yeah, now that I think of it...any given Anime that releases volumes or seasons always does it like that...while America actually does their own TV shows by season (Dexter for example, 12 episodes per boxset then again that's an hourlong show that runs every sunday and then takes a break here and there).  Thanks again for clearing that up, it makes sense now...but is there a name for this boxset?  I've looked at the cover over and over, but have seen nothing...and Amazon simply calls it "Bleach Season 6 DVD Boxset", no name to go along with it.TVthePunisher (talk) 01:00, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Season 6 is called THE ARRANCARS according to the single disk sets. They did not put the season name on the front for design reasons. They took all the time and care to design the cover the word the arrancars would have looked too messy and would have been an eye sore. Season 7 is titled THE HUECO MUNDO(which is short for the hueco mundo arc I guess, name is still weird though) and that starts with dvd 32 which covers episodes 132-135. --Lemursrule (talk) 02:08, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
