Anime Filler List: Skip the Boring Parts

What is filler? Why does it exist? And which episodes should you skip in Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece?

Filler episodes are anime-original content created when the anime catches up to the manga. They are usually not canon and don't affect the main plot.

The Worst Offenders

• Naruto: Almost 40% of the series is filler. You can skip the entire second half of the original series.
• Bleach: The Bount Arc is infamous for being boring. Skip it.
• One Piece: Has surprisingly little filler, but the pacing is slow.

Should You Skip?

Generally, yes. Unless you just want to spend more time with the characters, filler often disrupts the pacing of the story.
