About Filler (For Manga Readers)

[Shibuki]

I've noticed a lot of people complain about all the anime fillers. Can't we just see them as extras. Sure they have their inconsistencies and among other problems.

The reason why I say this to manga readers is because we have already seen what happens so there really shouldn't be a rush to these chapters turned into anime episodes.

Would you really prefer dragged out canon and no filler arc or more fast paced canon but with filler arcs in-between canon arcs?

Remember DBZ with the epic 5 minute stare downs nearly every episode. Remember the start of the neji and naruto fight we just saw the building while naruto and neji stood there for about 4 minutes or so when we just sweat go don them and the leaves rustling.

In the future I think we will be glad that we had filler arcs. Once Naruto has ended and that is yet another topic altogether. I will probably get responses like *filler is gay and fake* and stuff like that but hey at least I will get a giggle out of it.

O a side not. Guys please stop saying "jap". It's an offensive term. The real abbreviation that should be used is "jpn".

Doesn't "Jap" refer to Japanese and "Jpn" refer to Japan.

Also Filler is gay and fake.

xD hahaha well it's a offensive term due to world war 2. Below is a link for you.

Well I can sort of agree that it is fake since it isn't canon but it isn't gay. Yes I know it's a joke you did there.

Edit: Also the more politically correct term is "jpn" in the last few decades. I remember there was a anime that displayed a American that called everyone "Jap". Completely forgot the name though.

Filler is fine in my book so far. Far better thanthe last filler we had and it wasn't "that" bad of a filler.

 

[Degrees]

I hate the Shippudean fillers because they suck & they are starting to interfare with the actually story.
I liked the original fillers beacause they were nice & short plus you got to see characters like Hinata, Shino, Kiba & even Tenten a lot more, I mean why can't we just have 3 filler arcs that's about 6 to 1 episodes long instead of these 15 episodes long fillers that last months.

 

[Sharpism]

My main problems with the fillers are that they just aren't interesting, I mean If you're going to add "Extra" it better be consistent with the universe created and it has to be interesting.

I see what point you're getting across but many of us have spent years getting familiar with the series and then watching things that don't follow the laws of that series is a huge slap in the face to the readers when we see an episode that;
-A character uses a Technique they haven't trained in or even worse don't have the element to use it.
-That dilutes any Canon character's personality to something else.
-Has bad development qualities. [This could be a bad script or even bad animation.] [The newest filler episode has better quality animation then Asuma's death happened.]

The Fillers are idiotic. they are complete bullshit.
Like a Second Kyubii who the **** did that write was he on Weed or something.
The Place to go home to.... if some1 says that in reallife i smack him across the face.

The fillers from Pre-Shipuuden where much better, i even enjoyed a few of them.

but in these fillers the main char looks like a complete douchebag, nothing makes sense.
ofcourse its better then DBZ with 4 eps of screaming.

Fillers can be good, but the story at the moment is getting so good thats why i hate the fillers now and ecspacily with the main charactars. just make a few Gaides or Fillers without Naruto himself, show us missions of others characters, show us the chuunin exam where Sakura has become a Chunin, things like that.

We don't want extra bullshit and that is why we hate fillers.

 

[izzy89]

can't imagine anyone enjoying pre-shippuden fillers....eghk. but this latest filler ep has gotten real interesting.

 

[a thousand years of death]

wow this filler is actually getting good. the end really made up for the rest of the manga. but how is this gonna work out?

Spoiler

PEIN shows up! omg that has made this a good filler in my books.
it was so unexpected for me.

i think the main reason most people dont like fillers is because of the way they put them in the story. just slapping it in between arcs.

i mean in this one,

Spoiler

jiraiya has just died and sasuke failed to capture the 8 tails.
why put a filler here?
does anyone think konoha's sources are that bad. tsunade should already know jiraiya is dead and the toads of mount myboku seem to take a little holiday before telling naruto the bad news?
hell no

and what is madara waiting for? why not seal the 8 tails now. i mean is sasuke sooo slow he cant get to he RV. or (more believable) has sasuke got lost and cant find the RV. in which madara would apear and slap him.
and surely sasukes trail will have long been lost now.

why cant the raikages men get to him in time to tell him the bad news?

WTF is pein doing capturing a 6 tailed beast? or is he after naruto and they are making a new series?

what about this convo

Spoiler

this was just after deidara's fight.
so why did madara say that in the manga if they put a bloody filler where pein gets the 6 tails?
maybe they should read the manga. or watch the anime.
it never hurts to do research.

and how is this convo gonna work?

Spoiler

whats he gonna say now?
Madara: you took your time.
pein: yh i just fought one of the sannin then ran across the world captured the 6 tails and brought him back. i saw naruto there but i couldnt be assed to capture him yet.

cmon. wtf.

also how the F**K can pein get there that quick? i mean they dont even know jiraiya is dead yet. if a summon cant get there that quick how can he?

also how is this convo gonna work?

Spoiler

i mean in theory sasuke hasnt delivered the eight tails YET. but
WTF has madara been doing? sitting at home going
madara: hmm, world domination can wait. im gonna get some ramen and sake with a sharingan in a glass.

also what is eight tails doing?
killa bee: you know what. i can come out of my transformation but i really cannot be as$ed. i will stay like this for another arc.

the filler people should choose a moment that would actually make sense to put a filler.
its not like they dont know whats gonna happen next.

i agree with degrees. they should make fillers about other characters.
how about these for the next ones.

naruto gets told about jiraiya, naruto has gone to train.
Gai and co have gone on a mission.
DEVELOP THAT BLOODY MISSION!!!
that way it seems naruto has taken longer to learn sage training (which we know is very very hard), and pein going across the country doesnt seem as brief.

or sasuker and company of heroes there run into a few cloud ninjas before OR after they give bee to madara.

final one
how about tsunade's memories?
a jiraiya gaiden based on some of their battles during the ninja war?

im sure people would rather watch them than the development characters people genuinely dont give 2 SHl-s about.

I know people are still complaining that fillers are bad, but lets face it: fillers by definition will never be as good as the original story... I think this is one of the best fillers in Naruto so far, and you can see that the animators got the message and that they're trying... the characters are not so shallow anymore, the animation is good, and no looking at each other for 5 minutes in a row... there are still some repetitive flashbacks that bother me, but you can easily look past that...

also I think fillers about a characters past (like the jiraya one) would be much better received by fans
