-Throw rotten tomatoes at Doug-
To be honest, it's really better to read Manga for the Canon story, but, fillers can do some good, Bleach's Bounto Arc wasn't that bad and allowed more character development for Characters like Ishida, and even, showed the similarities between Ichigo and the Bount's leader, Jin Kariya.
On the other hand, you have Naruto and how 100+ fillers butchered the story. Yes, the fillers may have shown the "badassery" of even boring characters like Hinata, even a decent finale with Gaara as a Trainer, but still, I won't even forgive them for the rest of cheap arcs that was in between the main arcs.

Peers over the walls of his fort, "Well, I don't watch nor read either. Because its not really of interest to me. And to be perfectly honest, whenever I see it on DeviantArt, it looks really pervy or even pedophilic. And the whole Pokemon thing bypassed me, so I didn't get into it by that route..." Ducks back into his fort.
You should consider watching:
- Monster (Not really about the supernatural, it's a really great story about a Doctor falsely accused of murder and how he attempts to find the person responsible for his demise, the same person whom he chose to save the life, at the expense of his own career)
- Blood+ ( a decent Nurture vs Nature debate between the main character and her primary antagonist, her own sister)
- Finally, Gurren Lagann - which is simply awesome.
Oh and for reading:
- Berserk ( Deep characters, a tragic story - Epic)
