Vent: Skipping every filler episode list for One Piece was my biggest mistake
I tried that thing where you follow a fan-made list of which episodes to skip and which to watch for pacing. Figured it would save me time. I did it for like 6 months and skipped around 80 episodes. Then last week a friend referenced something from one of the 'skippable' chapters and I had no clue what they meant. Turns out I missed a huge backstory moment that makes a later arc hit way harder. Now I'm going back and rewatching all the ones I skipped. Anyone else regret trusting those lists over just watching at 1.5x speed?

Those lists always leave out stuff that seems pointless until 200 episodes later. I skipped the Long Ring Long Land arc my first time through because everyone said it was trash, then got completely lost when a certain character showed up again during Water 7. The filler guides also can't agree with each other, one says skip episodes 131-143, another says watch half of them, so you end up piecing together a broken story anyway. Watching at 1.5x or even 2x is the way to go, you still get every scene and the pacing problem fixes itself.
