Inuyasha Filler List
Inuyasha's filler by entry: Inuyasha 38/167 (22.8%), Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon 2/24 (8.3%), flagged episode by episode below from the MyAnimeList community record. Skipping the flagged episodes saves about 15 hours. The watch-order guide has the same flags built into its free tracker, with a hide-filler toggle.
Filler counts are shown per entry and never averaged across entries: parallel continuities and spinoffs are different shows, and blending them produces a number that describes neither.
