Now we all know how hated fillers are & I can see why. But do the Japanese audience hate it as much as the US or other International countries do? Do they like seeing noncanon story arcs & stuff in their favorite series or no not at all?

Most of long runnning shonen(One Piece,Hunter Hunter,Naruto) are more popular as manga for teenager boys and young adult men and people all the way bother to watch anime version of those shonen manga generally don't have much negative opinion about fillers compared with western fans.That is my impression.

I assume that you are talking about the long running shounen

Most people watch anime on tv, with tv running while they do some other work. I think it bother them a lot less

Why you hate on filler? Okay if the fillers are shit but not all fillers are bad. Some One Piece fillers are must watch.

I don't mean to point out the obvious but your title implies everybody hates filler as much as you do. Don't make presumptions about what everyone else thinks. Now that we got that out the way - I don't really mind filler at all. Sure, there's a lot of bad filler, but there are also filler that's better than canon. So as to what the mythical Japanese thinks? Like everything; half, half. Some will love it. Some will despise it. There isn't one universal opinion, like everything in this world.

If you really wanted a definitive answer, I guess you'll just have to find where they hide and take a poll... ;D

if you're those idiots who consider non canon shit as filler
than fma 2003 is pretty popular in nippon , would even say it's as pop as fmab,

so theres dat
It's good that Slop leveling won the CR awards with such a power gap, Gaijin Weebs don't deserve good anime.
Not after what they did to frieren, kusuriya, and many others

I got a feeling that Japanese don't mind it as much as our community do, though this is me being unreliable because I have no idea what their community is like. While it's true that fillers are generally hated because they serve as an excuse to drag the anime out with lazy writing, there are some fillers that are good. Seems like people should be more vocal towards the one who write the fillers, and not fillers itself because it's unfair for the ones who did put in effort to expand the story.

It's like asking... how it depicts Crybaby where this nihilistic compare to a META-purist bandwagon with tons of shitty nippon cult for faBBots
