That time a friend told me to skip the Filler in Naruto
Back in 2018, a buddy of mine said I should just skip all the filler arcs in Naruto Shippuden. I was like nah, I want the full experience, you know? I spent like 40 episodes watching those filler ninja ostrich races and alternative dimension stuff. Finally got to the actual canon Kaguya stuff and realized I wasted a good 15 hours of my life. Shoulda listened to him from the start. Anyone else ever ignore advice like that and regret it?

Man that's just life though, isn't it... you get told something simple and think you know better, then end up learning the hard way. I swear I do that with everything from recipes to directions.

Used to be one of those "it's all part of the journey" people myself. Then I watched that whole like 20 episode stretch of Naruto just riding a boat to the next island and I was like nope, never again. My buddy was right the whole time and I just wouldn't listen.

Stayed up til like 3am one time watching those ostrich race filler episodes thinking "surely this has to matter somehow." It did not. I mean, I still tell myself I needed to see all that alternate dimension stuff to really appreciate the canon but let's be real, I could have just read a summary in like two minutes. My buddy still brings it up every time we talk about Naruto. It's honestly a little embarrassing how stubborn I was about it. Guess some lessons you just gotta learn by wasting fifteen hours of your life.
