People would enjoy anime more if they just....

but sometimes I like Naruto's fillers...

That's why I prefer anime movies or 20-30 episode ones

Excluding Sailor Moon and other childhood ones where the fillers are important for the character plots, I don't like longer animes

Lot of watchers are casual enough to not check for fillers, so they will watch it because the episode is available and complain later. It is an obvious advice, but a good chunk of watchers never bother with these tips. Lot of anime watchers don't bother exploring as well.

I guess younger people don't have patient or the ease of social media just made everyone vocal. In my time before the internet, people watched 100+ episodes, filler or no filler. We didn't make any distinction. We were happy to watch what we could get. Ranma and DB had filler episodes and I was happy to just watch them canon or not. Imagine getting a mailed subbed episode of whatever show and getting a filler and sending a letter to the subber about it?

I skipped all the Naruto fillers

I'm not sure if people would check the info first. When I tell my friends that I use to look on the internet or use Wiki most of the time to look for info about certain animes/movies before I watch they just said I spoiling myself too much. It is true it makes me know it first through reading instead of watching it, but the anticipation is still the same for me.

Naruto Shippuden was even more frustrating back when it was on- going. You would straight up have half a year worth of fillers since it was 1 ep per week

bless the animefiller list, I use it all the time when rewatching Naruto and Black Butler

YESSS

I skipped all the fillers when I went through them (so I think a there are a total of 500 episodes without fillers?) and that's why I don't have a bad opinion on Naruto lmao.

I used to really like it actually a few years ago. I still have some Naruto t-shirts lmao.

I skipped almost all fillers from Naruto, while One Piece has amazing fillers that I don't skip.
