Why are there too many filler episodes so early?

After the first Shingami arc, and wakka wakka, an arc that lasts for an equal f 64 episodes is just fillers?
And then there are those and those?
Just started watching the show, don't read the manga

because they were inteding on ending the anime after the first arc

Because yout average Bleach chapter consists of three sentences and five close-up shots.

Yea they started way too early on the anime and had to make crap filler to make up some time. I mean the whole bount thing wouldn't have been so bad but it drug on for so long that it kinda turned me off to the series which was sad cuz the first 53 episodes are one of the best anime series I've ever seen. It does pick back up and get better but then it goes to more crap filler.

I have a love hate relationship with Bleach.

Bleach was never good, merely somewhat entertaining and promising. In fact, the filler is better than the canon crap Kubo comes up with.

I loved Bleach right up until Orihime got captured. Then I slowly but gradually started to hate it.

Still do.

I lost interest when ichigo beat grimmjow. Then i assume gets a stupid hefty power up for no reason as usual.

After he beat Grimmjow and they cut away to that new captain filler arc, it was honestly some of the most painful television I've ever watched. But then it just randomly cut back to the canon events after that arc was done and while the pacing so far is horrible, it is exponentially better.

Just my opinion of course
