My little brother told me to skip the filler in Naruto Shippuden

Ignored him and watched every single one, now I'm 3 months behind on the actual plot. Anyone got a good filler guide for Bleach so I don't make the same mistake?

Honestly the filler guides miss the point sometimes. The real trick is knowing which filler actually adds to the world. Like the Zanpakuto Rebellion arc in Bleach is filler, but it's cool seeing all the sword spirits. Some of the one-off episodes are a total drag though, like anything with Kon as the main focus. You gotta find a list that splits them into "skip" and "maybe watch if bored" categories.

My first anime was Naruto and I used a guide that just said "skip all filler." I missed the Guren and Utakata arc which is some of the best character stuff in the whole show. Now I look for guides that rate filler arcs out of 10. Anything below a 5 is an automatic skip, but a 7 or above is usually worth your time. The Bount arc in Bleach is a perfect example of a 2 out of 10, total waste. You really need that extra layer of detail.
