Found a trick to skip the filler episodes in long anime without missing plot points

I tried using a fan-made episode guide for One Piece that marks which episodes are canon and which are filler. After skipping around 45 episodes in the Dressrosa arc, I caught up 3 weeks faster than I planned. The guide saved me about 10 hours of my time, but I did miss one minor character intro that came back later. Has anyone else used a similar guide for Naruto or Bleach and had it work out?

Is it really that serious though? Missing one minor character intro can usually be fixed by reading a quick summary online. I've skipped plenty of filler in long series and never felt lost, so maybe people overthink this stuff a bit.

Honestly I gotta disagree with skipping 45 episodes. That "minor character intro" you missed probably becomes important later. I've seen too many people skip what they think is filler and end up confused in later arcs.
