I guess because some characters change for the bad in some peoples opinion, they unique character traits change :3

For example one I know loved Franky before the timeskip, now his just a big robot toy, in his opinion :3

But an anime that could need a time skip imo, would be pokemon that series has gone for so long and Ash hasn't done something that made him closer to his dream of becoming pokemon master :3

I know that the creators have to keep ash, 10 years old but it's so repetitive I don't get why so many can watch it :3

Most time skips disrupts the continuity of the stories and have characters developing without being shown to the viewer, that's why I usually don't like them.

They aren't always bad, but a poorly executed time skip breaks the continuity of the characterization, since there are still things happening out of screen that we're not seeing. If after a time skip the characters (or the story itself) change significantly without any given reason or proper exploration, it hurts the narrative; it's almost like starting a different show in that sense. (exactly what happens in Eva 3.0 for example, although it's not the only reason why that movie is bad).

That series needs more then a time skip. It needs better writers.
Every episode is pretty much the same.

Of course its intended to be watched on TV every Saturday...well not sure what day they air it in japan. Anyways its definitely not meant to be marathoned.

Well in SAO after the first episode or so there's a two year timeskip.. It would've been way more interesting to see how people coped with living in a game once they heard they were stuck but nope, they just skipped all that and made it boring. I guess that's the problem with a lot of timeskips: the story becomes inconsistent because you just get told a lot of time has passed but you don't experience it

There are shows with well-handled time skips (I thought the one between Code Geass & Code Geass R2 was rather well done), but many just put in a time-skip for no real reason (Naruto's 'training') or the time-skip just makes the show feel rather rushed (SAO)

It's because the writer of SAO is such a hack that actually giving his characters humanity is a task he is not equipped to perform.

I feel the same way about Franky, no one wonder why he's always the least popular in the Mugiwara crew.

It's not like we hate it, it's just an excuse to power up the MC in a short time (I mean, off screen)
One of the things I like about HxH is that Gon and Killua always power up and you see them training, so whenever they do some OP skill you say:" It's something they've got while training".

I wish you get the point :)

Yup it would've been like 100x better if they showed the progression of, literally everything and everyone. I feel like if the first arc had more progression as opposed to 3 completely unrelated arcs, then this anime would've been so much better.

It only depend on how it is handled, no matter it is time skipped or not ...
Erased has bad written ending, although it has good story in the beginning, the climax just feel meh to me ... Eva 3.0 is like coming from nowhere, what the fuck is happening with preview in 2.0 ... In overall, both just have decline in quality after timeskip ...
For example of good time skip, you can read 20th Century Boys ...

The timeskip between Seasons 2 and 3 of Nanoha was brutal. Almost all the lolis grow up, and they didn't deliver enough new ones to make up for that.
That was tough on moe lovers like me, but for people who love lolis sexually, that was devastating, and they couldn't watch it anymore.

Time skips and their reception will just depend on how they were handled and whether the skipped parts were actually important or not. I had many issues with Sword Art Online, which sadly hampered my enjoyment of the series, but aside from certain issues like the blatant plot armour / holes, the majority of my qualms with SAO originate from the time skips.

I was thoroughly enjoying watching Kirito et al progress through the floors of Aincrad, steadily getting stronger whilst progressing further and further. It was quite fun, and the different floor levels meant that the scenery and environment would change a lot; it kept everything fresh and interesting. I quite enjoyed that aspect of SAO. But because of the multiple and exponentially increasing time skips, it meant the development of the characters and their relationships were also skipped. Furthermore, Kirito's (and others') power progression was skipped as well.

I mean, a couple of episodes in and Kirito is already known as the #1 solo player, being completely OP compared to everyone else. That's all well and good, but it's simply brushed off as "Kirito takes risks in fighting stronger monsters that other people don't, and so he gets XP faster than other people". That was it. We didn't get to see him in action, training and getting ahead of other people. It was skipped.

It was seen again with the relationship between Kirito and Asuna. I had no issues with the relationship itself - it made a Hell of a lot of sense, given that they were trapped in a life-or-death situation together. This will automatically push them closer together, and since they were like that for two years, a boyfriend-girlfriend paradigm is natural. But because of the multiple time skips, they went from being testy strangers, to Asuna being all tsundere to Kirito, to them shacking it up in a cabin in the woods. We were shown them slowly getting closer, but such a large portion of it was skipped that I could only feel disappointment towards them.

In both cases, I vastly would have preferred just seeing them progress more steadily without tons of content and development being skipped. Scrap the Alfheim segment and make the entire first season all about Aincrad, and my enjoyment of SAO would have gone right up, from feeling disappointment to feeling happy enough with it.

The general gist of my dislike towards time skips is when important events, happenings and general development is also skipped.

A example of what I feel was a good time skip was Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. After the events of the first half end, it made sense for there to be a time skip. They were given an ominous prophecy and that was it. There wasn't any need for us to watch the intermediary years because there was nothing of note happening in them. Nothing overly important was skipped, nothing that actually needed to be seen, so there was no problems with it. The skip happened after the first arc ended, not during it, which makes quite the big difference.

I love the time skip in Gurren Lagann. I think there just has to be a good reason for time skips. Seems silly to get upset by the time skip in Erased, since it uses time travel in part as a core mechanic. As for manga to anime differences, that's a whole different story.
