I think that what we all mean is that, in perspective, One Piece fillers aren't half bad
Not bad as a distraction, but if I'm watching any series, I'm watching it for the main story. I'm not so terribly bored that I would pop in a dvd of fillers for the sake of watching something.

BTW. I love how yibis refused to sub a filler episode, but subs a re-cap episode with a few new scenes![]()
Well, I don't buy a whole lot of anime series. So no, probably not.
I own all of Fullmetal Alchemist, Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell S.A.C, Gurren Lagann, and Death Note.
And I'm buying Naruto and One Piece as they are released, avoiding paying for filler episodes whenever possible(I still absolutely love the fact that Naruto cordoned off the filler hell on separate volumes, so I was able to skip maybe 7-8 whole volumes of Naruto).
These are all series I consider "excellent" and all of them are higher quality than One Piece fillers.
My sentiments exactly.

The One Piece fillers are hilarious pretty often too. That's why I watch them usually, to see the crew do more stupid shit.
I watched the entire "filler hell" after the Sasuke Chase arc and don't remember a single canon moment in any of it(except the fish as mentioned, which, I'm sure as shit not paying 30 bucks for 15 seconds of canon and 4 hours of bullshit).
There's some filler BEFORE the Sasuke chase arc(Tea Country arc, Tsunades debts, Kakashi's mask episode) but none after. So I have SOME filler. But since Volume 10 of the DVDs ends exactly on the end of the Sasuke chase arc, I don't have ANY of the Filler Hell, and I'm not missing anything that's canon.
To clarify, I don't buy a DVD that's ALL filler. If it's only partially filler, I'm kind of stuck though. Which is why I already hate myself for owning the goddamn Apis arc in One Piece, but without it, I wouldn't have Laboon and Whiskey Peak.
Shikamaru talking to Tsunade about the importance of having a medical ninja in a group of four is just one example. Or Sakura asking Tsunade to let her be her apprentice, which only happened after 6 or so filler episodes. If you don't buy those filler episodes, you'll miss why and how Sakura becomes Tsunade's discipline.
This is One Piece forum stop discussing Naruto. The only filler you really need to be careful is Foxy's (Loooong island) since it includes most annoying and very important moments in series, rest are for your discretion but unlike Naruto fillers are generally aren't too bad and watchable.

Uhmmm... was there no episode this week?

Well that sucks...
