User blog comment:Dettles/Anime getting filler good or bad?/@comment-4605926-20131214152405

As an anime fan I force myself to watch every single episode even if it's painfully boring filler. Basically, I watch and read everything officially One Piece related.

Even though I do watch fillers, I, more often than not, dislike them almost entirely. I would much, much rather have the anime go for the different cover stories (mini-arcs) of the manga much like it did early into the series with Buggy's mini-arc. The anime is definitely missing out on a lot of canon material because of the absence of the manga's cover stories.
