what do you guys think

A. If it isnt in the manga its not cannon end of story.

or

B. If it doesnt contradict the manga in any way, it can be considered apart of the real story line.
(as in these recent fillers, touching on the stories of itatchi, tenzon, and danzo fighting shushi like the manga implied)

As a filler episode it is nice to watch if it shows missing information which doesn't contradict the story. But at the end of the day, it is a filler and doesn't count unless shown on the Manga.

It's definitely A.

Fillers don't have anything to do with Kishi. That and some of this filler already contradicted the manga. In the episodes, Itachi joins Anbu at the age of 11, but in the manga he joins at age 10. During the 9-tails attack in the manga, the entire Uchiha clan is absent from Konoha and the battlefield & Itachi has no idea of where they are...but in the filler, you see Itachi run past his dad and see him. And when Ao fought Shisui, it was stated in the manga to be an actual fight between the two in which Shisui was actually pushed to the point he had to use MS.

But nonetheless, this is a cool filler, even if it is not canon. :p

Unfortunately A...fillers tend to add a load of crap with it like the Smoke people that's what threw this Arc for me that being said its still a incredible arc better than most of the shippuden fillers bar three tails arc.

B

I think the people who vote for A are for the manga fanboys with pride issues. It's understandable if it was a filler with Naruto and Rock Lee running around chasing cats and eating ramen, but this whole arc is entirely different. We are getting important and valuable background information on some of the most story-driven characters in the story and I highly doubt Kishi has absolutely nothing to do with it. He wouldn't just let an animation studio take over his story and just make anything they want out of it. Kishi definitely had some say into it whether it was big or small. Even if it was answers questions or making suggestions for the animations, his input did have an effect on the outcome of the whole arc.

I'm votin for B too. Sad that Shisui got fodderized, but at least it made some form of sense.

U guys could learn from marvel xD just call manga earth-616 and anime the anime world(earth-632)
this way both are canon, but in different universes/dimensions XD

If it doesn't contradict the manga then it can stay. It's all about world-building and filler is merely an expansion. There's some i'd prefer to ignore (Old Dragon Man and the At Sea arc) but the majority of it is fine. I don't enjoy the current arc but stuff like Chikara, the third Shippuden movie and the war filler SHOULD have been legitimate canon.

It depends on what it is... for example this weeks episode some examples

Shisui's eye being taken by Danzo is canon
Shisui giving his other eye to Itachi is canon
etc...

The manga may not have shown those events, but we know for a fact those events are part of the canon story.

And on the other side of things, stuff like those 2 episodes with Yamato and the filler girl are nonsense and should be dismissed.

I m not really sure bout the age of Itachi entering ANBU, but I don't agree on the other things u said.

How can u know the Uchiha was entirely absent? That moment of Itachi and baby Sasuke was shown before the Kyuubi actually came. Ao was shown to flee in the anime, but we can imply that he had fought Shisui before. That's what made him to fear Shisui and flee.

And I think that the anime team won't contradict these obvious facts, especially the part of Itachi saying that he didn't know where his parents was before the Kyuubi came.

Filler's filler no matter what. I love this filler, but it's still filler. It's anime canon, I suppose. I think of it as canon, but in the overall view, it's not.

I choose B. A non canon filler is an episode that has no connection to the manga and/or contradicts the manga in some way. These episodes are flashbacks of the story which was not portrayed on the manga. But as it does not contradict the manga in any way, these episodes are canon.

Ninja ostrich episodes were non canon fillers for example. Not these episodes
