How to Watch Bleach Filler

Bleach filler sucks. That's a fact, and it's not going to change anytime soon.

But do you still feel obligated to watch it?

If so, you're in luck. I discovered a simple yet effective means of making the filler episodes a lot less painful:

That heavenly button makes everything go twice as fast. You might be skeptical, but trust me, subbed Bleach filler is surprisingly comprehensible at 2x speed. Give it shot. You have nothing to lose.

Getting this to work may not be easy for some media players. It works fine in Media Player Classic, but I couldn't immediately find a way to do this in Windows Media Player (which is a piece of shit so I'm not surprised), and VLC cut the sound when the speed was changed. I haven't upgraded Quicktime or RealPlayer in ages, so don't bother asking me about them. Besides, there's probably some obscure open source media player that's infinitely better than anything I have. If you're tech savvy enough to be using it, you can figure out how to speed it up on your own.
