What are your opinions on the anime staple a time skip. Lazy way for writers to quickly and easily forward the plot without having to do much if any work or legitimate story telling device that if used correctly is respectable? In battle shonen where it's all about getting stronger i'm ok with a 2 year training time skip but in more story driven anime I would rather see the character development in real time. How long is too long of a time skip? I don't usually like when they make a series about a protagonists kids and we skip ahead like 10+ years. I want to see what that character has been doing before the kid and while raising the kid not just jump to when the kid is old enough to have his own story.

You could always do the Isayama method:
timeskip, then have a series of flashbacks to explain what happened during the timeskip.

1 year or more without a legitimate reason is too long. Chihayafuru had a couple of time skips only because certain tournaments are probably held once a year. If you’re skipping a year or more just to advance age, it’s lazy writing.

You mean weekly shounenshit jump staple. It's absolutely fucking terrible 99% of the time.

i like that too but then you have brainlets that can't into in media res and complain about flashbacks so there's never any winning.

What's the longest time skip in anime/manga? Can anything beat Houseki no Kuni's 220 year time skip?

Shonen abuse the shit out of them purely for the sake of new stories and powers sometimes, but obviously skipping some time is a valid story choice. OP worked it well by using that as a chance to shuffle the world around, with the main characters not really feeling much effects.
