Finally figured out that skipping the filler episodes actually helps with pacing

I was binging this 200-episode shonen last month and kept getting burnt out around episode 60. A buddy from a forum in Tokyo told me to just look up a list of canon-only episodes online. I tried it for the next arc and it cut my watch time by like 30%. Has anyone else found a good site for those skip lists without getting spoiled?

Animefillerlist dot com is the go-to for most people. Just hit the canon button and you're golden without any plot bombs. Makes marathoning actually doable.

Actually I've found that site's "canon filter" misses a bunch of stuff in shows like One Piece and Bleach. They label whole arcs as filler when there's actually important character moments sprinkled through them. I stopped using it after they marked the G8 arc in One Piece as pure filler, but that arc has some of the best crew bonding moments in the whole series. If you skip everything they tag as filler you end up missing a lot of context for later stories. I'd rather just use a straight episode list and read the wiki notes on what's okay to skip.

Does that site actually filter out the recap episodes too?
