That moment my anime debate group broke into a 2 hour argument about filler arcs

I tried to organize a casual watch party for Bleach last Saturday, you know, just pick the best episodes without the filler, but then someone brought up how the Bount arc actually had some hidden themes about loneliness. Before I knew it, the whole room (8 people, mind you) was shouting about whether skipping filler is disrespectful to the original animators' work. Has anyone else had a friendly anime discussion spiral into a full-blown philosophy debate like that?

Ask them if they really believe skipping filler is disrespectful or if theyre just trying to justify watching the boring episodes. Did the Bount arc guy actually convince anyone or just make the argument worse

@murphy.blair some of us enjoy the Bount arc's hidden themes while others just enjoy the nap it puts them to sleep.
