Went to Anime Boston 2023 and sat in on a panel about filler episodes, totally flipped how I watch long shows now
I was at Anime Boston back in 2023 and ducked into a random panel on pacing because my feet hurt and I needed a chair. Some guy on the panel pulled up a chart showing how much of Naruto is actually canon, and I think it was under half. After that I started skipping filler arcs on my rewatch of One Piece and it goes so much faster it's not even funny. Now I'm wondering if I'm missing good stuff by skipping, or if everyone else already does this. How do you all decide what filler is worth sitting through?
