That time a friend told me to skip the filler episodes in One Piece
A buddy of mine swore up and down that skipping filler in One Piece was the only way to get through it fast. I gave it a shot around episode 200 and skipped like 30 episodes total. Turns out I missed some random character moments that actually paid off way later in the story. Now I have to go back and rewatch those arcs because I felt lost during a big reveal around episode 400. I dunno, maybe it's just me but I think filler can be worth it sometimes. Has anyone else had a recommendation from a friend that totally backfired?

Wait, you actually skipped 30 episodes? That's a lot.
Filler can be dumb but skipping that much is risky.

...and see, that's the thing about skipping stuff, you never really know what's gonna matter later. I did the same thing with Naruto, skipped what I thought was just filler between the Sasuke Retrieval arc and Shippuden, turned out I missed like 5 episodes that explained why Rock Lee was in a wheelchair for so long. Ended up having to google it mid conversation with my brother and he still gives me crap about it. Some filler is just padding but sometimes they sneak in actual canon stuff or at least character building that makes later moments hit harder. I still skip the flashback episodes though, those are just lazy.
