Heard a friend say they skip all filler episodes and it got me thinking

My buddy Mark said he uses a website list to skip every single filler arc in shows like Naruto and Bleach. He said it saved him over 50 hours on Naruto alone. I always watched everything, even the bad beach episodes. But his point was that filler can mess up the story's pace and make you lose interest. I tried it with a recent rewatch of One Piece, skipping a listed 10 episodes, and the main plot felt much tighter. Does anyone else have a strong rule about filler, or do you watch it all?

Honestly, skipping filler was a game-changer for my One Piece rewatch too.

G-8 filler had some great character moments though.

Tbh I made a personal rule after my first Naruto watch. I'll check a filler list before starting any long show now. If the filler is just monster-of-the-week stuff, I skip it. But I make an exception for character-focused episodes, like some of the early Bleach ones that show the friend group hanging out. It saves a ton of time without missing the good side stuff.
