I've been watching a ton of One Piece (I skipped a few fillers, but watched most of the full filler arcs) and am up to episode 355. It's an excellent series and the characters are so good. They are the perfect mix of comedy, seriousness, etc. I can easily see how One Piece is the longest running/highest selling manga.

With over 158 million copies sold, One Piece is now the highest selling manga in the history of Weekly Shōnen Jump. It is considered their most acclaimed and all-time best-selling title in Japan.

I also found a list of Shippuuden Filler for you.

57-70
91
93-111

All those episodes are filler according to some forums I checked.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure the fillers that are sandwiched between the main story can be skipped without information loss. At least in first Naruto there were definitely fillers which I could not have skipped without getting in trouble understanding what was going on afterwards. It was only the fillers from episode 135 to the end that could be skipped easily, because the main story was over anyway.

Checking back at the episode list, yeah 57-70 was a pretty painful filler. I'm not sure if I could have skipped it though. Maybe I could have, even. Of course you never really get to know beforehand without spoiling yourself.

I'm kinda surprised though that 91-112 is a filler lol. Not only did it really look like it was part of the main story, what with close encounters with Orochimaru's crowd and the Sanbi and all, but it was pretty good actually! The Yuukimaru kid was really entertaining. I guess some of it did seem off, but overall I would have never guessed it's a filler.

Just finished Seirei no Moribito. It was pretty good, though I really wish they would've made it a lot more intense, it could have been one of the best I'd have seen if they did.

I finished One Piece a few days ago and it is awesome. By far my favorite of all the long-running series. I was so mad when I finished what has been released of it so far because I knew I would be waiting a week for every episode. It's one of the reasons I never liked watching running animes, but then I would be missing out on a bunch of my favorites like One Piece, Bleach, Naruto, Hajime No Ippo, etc

Speaking of Naruto - it has been awesome recently. It's great seeing actual content and not fillers anymore. Bleach on the other hand is filler and I've not watched it.

I'm trying to find out what to see next. I started Planet ES, but I might check out Prince of Tennis. I might try to find an action/adventure shounen, but only if it has a complete storyline, too many of them don't anymore. Anyone watch the Dragonball series?

Does One Piece have fillers too? (Or is the main storyline all in one piece? OLOLOLO)

I take it that it will take months before the current Naruto arc is completed?

I'm loving Samurai Champloo. Screw-all mindless (but smart!) stylish action, that's what entertainment should be all about.

Not highly relevant and not sure if you want to know this but I landed on some Naruto hentai at tube8 and laffed myself into a pickle

I watched Samurai Champloo a while ago and enjoyed it. The fight scenes are really amazing even though I'm not normally a fan of samurai animes.

During the move, I've been able to watch some anime. I watched Akagi and Legendary Gambler Tetsuya which are both about Majong and gambling. They were pretty good and Mahjong seems pretty awesome, I would love to learn to play it.

I also watched Yakitate Japan which is about bread making, which seems odd, but it was intriguing. It reminded me a lot of Hikaru no Go. It also mixes in a lot of parodies and such so it was pretty humorous, especially when they showed One Piece and Naruto parodies.

Naruto has been good, but it's filler next week. I'm mad that Bleach is filler and not the big battle, but it's pretty interesting.

[Vantek]

The next Naruto arc has been completed already??

bread making

hahahahahaha that must be the most weird theme for anime I've ever heard

Just watched Paprika. Had a "wtf am I getting myself into" moment during the title sequence but it was good! I love crazy stuff like that. Though it got perhaps a bit too crazy lol.
