My friend said to skip the filler in One Piece, and I'm glad I did.

He told me to use a specific list online that cuts about 45% of the episodes, so I started with the Arlong Park arc. It made the whole thing feel way faster and kept me from getting bored. Has anyone else tried a skip list for a long running show and had it work out?

Honestly, skipping 45% of One Piece sounds like a mistake to me. I mean, a lot of that so called filler has cool character moments and jokes that make the world feel alive. You start cutting that much out and it just becomes a plot summary, you lose the vibe that makes the show special. Maybe it's just me but half the fun is hanging out with the crew between big fights. Skipping straight to Arlong Park means you miss all the buildup that makes you care about Nami in the first place. It feels faster, sure, but you trade the soul for speed.

Wait, the 45% cut is just the filler episodes. The main story stuff like Nami's buildup is all still there.
