Yeah, I get that. I actually started building a web app to help with that. I never finished it because I wanted to redo it in react and never got around to it but it was a community driven episode aggregator that would pull in API data on a show and let people vote on how crucial each episode is to the main plot of a show. I started it ages ago after watching FMA Brotherhood because even though there are 60+ episodes, you could cut out quite a significant chunk of it without it effecting the main story. I called it "Fillerless" 😅
