That time my friend said to watch Naruto filler episodes and I ignored him

Back in 2017 my buddy Mark kept telling me to watch the filler episodes in Naruto, said they added depth to the side characters. I skipped all of them because I wanted to get to the main story faster. Turns out he was right. After I finally finished the series last year I went back and watched some of those fillers and they really do make the world feel bigger. The episodes about the hidden villages and the old ninja wars were actually good. Has anyone else regretted skipping content on a long running show?

Agree with that YouTube approach, I've watched four hours of One Piece fight compilations that way and it saved me probably two months of my life. For Naruto though, some of those filler arcs like the one about Kakashi's past with the Anbu actually hold up better than parts of the main story. You miss stuff like how the villages interact during peacetime if you skip everything.

Skip em every time. Life's too short for filler, just hit YouTube for the good clips later.
