Update: spent 3 weeks arguing about filler episodes before realizing my watch order was the actual problem
Last month I started a rewatch of a long shonen series with my brother and we kept fighting about which episodes count as filler, so I pulled up four different watch guides on my phone and none of them matched. Turns out the real issue was that he'd been watching the dub and I'd been watching the sub, so we were on totally different episode counts the entire time and neither of us noticed for 3 weeks. Does anyone else have a story about a watch order or sub vs dub mixup that made you feel like a total idiot?
Wait, you went THREE WEEKS without noticing the episode numbers were totally different? I feel like one of you would've said something like "hey we're on episode 47 now" and the other would've been like "what, we're only on 40." That is honestly impressive how long you both just kept arguing about filler without catching that.
