While this episode wasn't great, it was probably the least crappy filler episode I've seen out of this series.

Lotsa elements that are usually missing from filler. Background story(gay as it is), a fight that lasts more than one episode, and *GASP* OTHER characters getting some screentime!

I give it a rating of -1 instead of the usual -4 or -5 on a scale of 1 to 5.

So much for continuity; I'm going to skip downloading this ep, get rid of all the other recent fillers. I'll just have to find something else to take up space on the 126-150 DVD... like RvB...

This thread will suffice.

what does filler mean?
Filler is anything in the anime that wasn't in the manga.



and when the Hokage hugged Iruka..that's FMA material
Only that scene was actually from a previous, non-filler episode of Naruto.




its called quoting a post....get used to it.
As I just proved, you can quote less than the entire post. And its not nessecary to post those same pictures over and over again for the same reason we have a size limit on sigs, so that pages don't take 8 years to load. But more importantly, its nice not to force people to relive that godawful scene over and over again on one page.

Does it ever say that they are ninja? (I haven't watched the episode yet...downloading)
I suppose if they're in a "ninja prison" they either have to be ninja, or just too powerful to put into a regular prison.
But anyway, I'd find them funny if their very existence didn't piss me off.

they should've just showed naruto and jiraiya train, i would've watched that over this crap.

This is my theory. As kids they entered the ninja academy and sucked MUCH. They had no reason to kick them out till one day when they ate all the food in the village and therefore had to be to life in jail. and that children is how they got the name Stupid Dumpster Brothers.

This could have been a valid theory if they hadn't already mentioned that they were sent to jail for killing their comrades in a mission when they became hungry...

Awesome episode:

M: "Hahahaha, you are dead... you forgot the most important thing in ninja training, WATCH YOUR BACK!"
I: "HAHAHAHA, The victory goes to those who can think ahead of the enemy!"
M: "Damnit... I didn't watch my back, but don't worry I'm uber strong and i'll just disappear"
I: "Almost had him..."

That's Shakespear right there

yea i was also hoping for kakashi to show up and just kill those 2 fat guys in a second.

also stupid mizuki and iruka, when mizuki was in the ground he shouldve slashed irukas archillies instead of exposing himself and talking, and then bloody iruka sholdve just killed him when he got behind him instead of tlaking. i mean they shouldnt have a problem with killing like that, they ARE chuunin

I am sure that over in Japan, (Naruto's Main Audiences) it is more widely accepted that when 2 12 year old boys hold hands it is not considered homosexual. In Eastern Cultures, society doesn't automatically assume that there is a gay undertone to it unlike how clearly people in the west perceive.

Anyway, you know what else I noticed this episode? Apparently Iruka can't throw a kunai for shit. I mean, he hits TREES trying to hit Mikuki. And, not even like, Miz is jumping behind the trees either. He's just standing there with the tree blocking like 10% of his body and Iruka manages to hit the tree every fucking time!

I guess its really true what they say, those who can't...teach.

When i think back to where the anime went exactly after manga, i always couldnt await a single week to see the next episode...and now quasi waiting for the next real episode for more than 9 weeks!

Great.......

Mon, 07-25-2005, 05:09 AM
Probably, the only time I could forgive them for making a filler is when they center it around side characters like Shino, Lee, Neji, or even around the Jounins...but anything else, they're fucktards for making another one about Naruto. Oh wait this isnt about him...it's about two retarded brothers? or even perhaps one hidden homo-erotic filler about some chuunins? Well...Fucktards indeed...

Mon, 07-25-2005, 06:28 AM
haha....well i see what everyone means. the filler is seriously getting kinda lame now and yea, i'm surprised that 9 weeks already passed....where does the time go? lol

im hoping that 145 will end this boring filler arc (it'll be 10 weeks already by this week...!!) and i hope that 146, 147, ...

well, i'm sure in a little bit of time, we'll see it (hopefully in the very near future..)

Be careful about posting even the names of future event since some people consider that as spoiling. I wouldn't have edited it out but too many people complained.

Here's the thing I don't understand about the whole Japanese way of TV shows...

Who the fuck cares if the anime catches up to the manga? I mean so fucking what? Will it hurt marketing that bad? Will manga readers all the sudden stop buying the manga? I don't think so, as we already know that the anime is seriously censored in comparison, and usually a worse translation (although sometimes the anime shines in showing things the manga does not. I.e. Tenten's humiliation at Temari's fan).

I mean Naruto filler is even worse than Dragonball GT....and it doesn't get much worse than that. Infact Mr. Toriyama sold the right to allow it to be made but really wanted nothing to do with it since everything he wanted done was already done. I mean I could understand filler if it was done semi-quazi-intelligently. But this...well there are no words to convey the horror of what this arc has been! This is just too much.

you are an idiot, if the anime catches up to the manga, where will the anime get its storyline from? each episode takes up more than just one chapter of the anime (i think assertn did a calculation way back and said it took up 1.6 or 1.8 chapters or something like that) to put it simply for you, the anime cannot continue if it catches up to the manga until the manga gets ahead more so the anime has a storyline to follow again. If your suggesting that the anime should pass the manga and start making its own storyline they cannot do that becase kishimoto decides what happens next in the story, not the animators.

I'm with the camp of people that thinks that Naruto should have an off season. 26 new episodes, then replay those 26 episodes. Meanwhile, new manga gets written, and we'd never have to watch filler. But we would have to watch six months of repeats...but I think thats better.

Creator of manga is not the same as the creator of the anime. The anime is based off the manga and follows the manga storyline. If the creator of the manga storyline has to tell the creator of the anime what he'll put in next, why make the manga at all? Why not have the creator of the manga just be in charge of the anime? The anime is a much better version than the manga since the action is actually action and not frame by frame shots and you can watch everything as it happens, if ya get what I mean. Most people that I know that read the manga read it so they're further ahead, but like watching it in anime version better. This is not saying ALL are like that, but most manga readers I know are.

Also, "seriously censored"? What, you mean a lil bit less blood equals "seriously censored"? What's wrong with you? I'll tell you seriously censored: 4Kids dubbing anything. The difference in censorship of manga to anime is slightly anything. There is a slight difference, I'll give you that, but it's barely even able to be considered minor.

Also, the translation depends on the subbers/translators. Most people know that Japanese isn't a simple "this word means that" translation, but a full sentence can generally have at least a couple, sometimes several, different ways of being put into English, and some fit a situation better than others, the way it's translated depends on the translator. I've watched several different semi-high to high quality subbers sub animes and find some sentences to not be translated the same way twice. So comparing the translation of the manga and the anime, at least most times, isn't something to get worked up about.

Last thing, if you didn't read the manga and never heard anything about it, I want you to think seriously and objectively, would you honestly think the anime's going down the tubes? The only reason you're whining is because it's *GASP* "FILLER"!!! O-M-F'IN-G! Relax kid, either don't watch the filler or stop complaining, it's annoying and ruins the opinions of people who are more impressionable than others. Also, don't get pissy on the "kid" comment, everyone who complains about such minor, stupid things like that gets called that by me, even if you were 30 or 40, kid.

Tue, 07-26-2005, 08:13 PM
I hate the filler not only because I know it's filler, but also because it really does suck ass. There is a notable difference in quality and execution between the manga material and the filler.

Much of the frustration and anger about this filler is that we all know it's just crap thrown at us because they're trying to fill space and buy time - and I honestly think that I wouldn't hate it so much if I didn't know it was filler material. I might notice a decline in quality, but I wouldn't complain as I do now. I'd just make fun of how crappy the story had gotten. The fact that it is known that the anime writer's are fucking up the series' characters and continuity just adds insult to injury imo.


Also, I think the naruto manga is better than the anime (I don't think I'm alone in saying this). Just as there are times when anime-only material is added to the original story (like the Tenten example) there are also cases when manga material is left out of the anime. But the anime is much cooler to me just because it's animated - just not neccessarily better. i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

why do the anime storyliners TORMENT our SOULS!! then again i suppose that theres some sort of reason for it. like one of the writers' dogs ate up the storyline for the next 9 weeks. or, (more logical) because they need to give the manga writers time. but, i'm still mad. o well. and i agree with the camp (??) that darthender mentioned, they should make a couple new eps, and then repeat them.

The only thing good about this episode was shikamaru showing up at the end. Although, it's pretty sad that he, Chouji and Ino even needed to be dragged into this mess of a filler. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping Shikamaru breaks the baka bros necks.

Why do they have to waste our time with shit like this? Why can't we follow Kakashi on his missions instead?

it was good that one of the brothers steped on the food because naruto would just end it with rasengan.
want to se shikamaru end this fight with a new skill or a combo attack with the Ino-Shika-Chou group

haha~ yea my thoughts exactly. that scene with iruka and mizuki as children running while holding hands together seemed a just plain wrong. well, it looks like 145 will be coming out real soon. i can't wait to see what happens next in the filler and whether or not the filler ends with this one. i'm just way too anxious (like a lot of naruto fans) to see the kakashi gaiden animated as well as the current arc that the manga is in.

Kishimoto really likes to take away Iruka's masculinity.

The answer is clear, hire a decent writer to come up with a new plotline that won't fuck with the original manga storyline. Granted that there won't be any risk of major characters dying or even learning new skills or whatnot, but you can still make something up.

I'd be interested to see a mini arc all about the Sand Country.

Or, better yet, create a new villain who can pop up periodically to cause havoc and introduce new characters that will only appear in these filler episodes. And don't just animate the first POS idea that comes to mind like "Oh a jail break with that guy from episode 1!" or "A quest to find Sasuke, but he's not there, nor is anyone of any importance!" How about a client for Konoha who actually turns out to be evil, but they need to complete the mission for him anyway? (Or Naruto tries to go against the mission, being as righteous as he is)

The answer isn't giving Naruto a break, it's getting someone besides the manga creator to rely on for quality material. Granted he may not want anyone else creating stuff for HIS creation, but he surely would want Naruto to air as much as possible and should focus on the story he wants to tell. But there's nothing wrong with letting someone take over and direct a side-story is there?

This episode sucked. This is definitely the worst filler so far. It's also annoying how this filler makes Iruka seem like such a worthless pussy.
