Offical Countdown to the end of fillers!

[Scale]

So no development in the sasuke story??
New powers?

[Kraco]

Nah. These are fillers, so thet can't really do those two things, as it could clash with the manga, and supposedly this show still will someday return to the manga. Well, technically speaking some other characters might have acquired something you could call new powers, if your definition of new powers was wide enough. Skills could be a better word, though.

Since you disliked fillers enough in the past to drop the series it kind of indicates you likely wouldn't like any of the filler arcs thus far. If you want to give them a try again, the current one is one of the best there have been, so you might even like it somewhat.

[Scale]

Ahhh thanks for the info guys

U mean 190 right?
Ill give it a go in a bit

[Kraco]

The first ep of this arc was 187, if memory serves. So, start from there. The latest ep, 190, is already near the end of this story.

[Scale]

Blegh...

Still a broken record :(
Rasengan! bunshin! rasengan! bunshin (or how ever u spell it)

Guess ill stick witch bleach for now and come back in a couple of months and ask if it got better hehe :)

[Deadfire]

bleach... fillers right?

[masamuneehs]

...

Thread merged.

[p0ltergeist]

One is forced to wonder how the Japanese ratings reflect the drop in quality in the series... I would immagine if these fillers go on much longer the show could get cancelled. :(

[Terracosmo]

The japanese kids won't fail this show. I am fairly certain that the average household still fully enjoys their weekly does of Naruto anime.

[Animeniax]

One thing I don't get is, even though they're only showing "filler episodes", why leave out some main characters from these side stories? It wouldn't be hard to add them and still not conflict with the manga. Like where are Kakashi, Sakura, any of the jounins, Jiraiya, etc? I can understand them not wanting to mess with the Sasuke or Orochimaru characters, but these others would be fair game for developing histories and back stories without straying from the manga.

It also seems the same few genins are being used, like Hinata, Lee, Neji, Kiba, etc. I'd rather see more of Shikamaru, Ino, Shino, etc in longer story arcs. I think Ino will be in episode 192, but it's a one episode arc.

[Terracosmo]

I think they are doing a pretty good job in distributing screentime between side characters. Another factor which probably is important is conflicting schedules, it's probable that they decide who to add based on how the voice actor of the character in question works. Other times they just think some characters fit better than others.

But ask yourself this, do you really WANT to see your favorite characters get butchered regularly?

[Animeniax]

Well I'm still disputing the butchering aspect of these "filler episodes". I still contend that they help develop side characters that the manga will never bother with. If they were just drawn better and involved in more compelling and better thought-out story arcs, I'd be fine waiting another few months for the manga-based episodes.

[Genma]

Jiraiya did actually show up during one filler episode, which is sort of ridiculous, considering the fact that he's supposed to be gone until the time warp.

As for Shikamaru... he's a chuunin, right, so he's probably out pwning things that these n00bs can't handle. Or... something.

Ino was in the earlier fillers and now, obviously, she's back in the next episode.

>_>; Yeaaaah.

[Terracosmo]

If they were just drawn better and involved in more compelling and better thought-out story arcs

"If" being the major keyword...

[RedX1z]

well, sasuke, kabuto, and orochimaru don't have to meet up with naruto or anyone else, face to face. they can make a filler episode about them about what happens to them in everyday life? but seriously, who wants that? and who can picture a moment of laughter in the episode?

well, i'm glad some characters aren't used in the fillers, like gaara for example, someone so cool, yet psychotic, can be raped as a character in one line in a filler.

[ikari]

There are some filler arcs I thought were ok, but really I'm more interested in the main story line. I hope they pick it up soon, I'd like to see a bit more development in the main story.

[NM]

So is there a new countdown to these fillers? It looks like Dattebayo decided to stop keeping track...

[p0ltergeist]

Well how can we be certain that their count was official? Do they have in inside source? Maybe they were just screwing around with us...

[rotary7eaven]

195. "The Third Great Beast, The Greatest Rival"
The third superbeast, The strongest rival
第三の超獣 最大のライバル
Daisan no chōkemono, Saidai no raibaru

196. "The unwanted child strikes, The day time stopped" 鬼後の攻撃 時間が止まったあの日 Onigo no kōgeki, Jikan ga tomatta ano hi.

197. "It's Kakashi-sensei's birthday!" カカシ先生の誕生日だってばよ！Kakashi-sensei no tanjōbi dattebayo!


fillers will never end.

[Kraco]

200 would be such a nice, round number to end the fillers...

[darkmetal505]

Kakashi's birthday. Oh man, that one is going to be awesome. Maybe it'll be one of those funny episodes with the ahou birds.

[bxgreatone87]

Which was the episode where they said 16 more weeks of fillers? Thats what im gonna go by, only thing that comes close to an answer to when the fillers will end.

[p0ltergeist]

I remember that episode. I recall at the time of watching it that 16 weeks was roughly late October.

[msmush]

LOL . kakashi's birthday... i might revisit the filler for that one.

[bxgreatone87]

I remember that episode. I recall at the time of watching it that 16 weeks was roughly late October.


No not that one, that was when they first started saying the fillers where gonna end . Then they started saying stuff like " infinite fillers left". I know in one of the last 3 arcs it said 16 weeks left. i would go back and watch the episodes but sadly i deleted after i saw them.

[BioAlien]

Episode 187, that the one they say 16 week remaining

and in Episode 188, 15 week of filler remaining.

[Terracosmo]

lmao Kakashi's Birthday in the fillers, continuity error!

[bxgreatone87]

So if it's true that the fillers end in the 16 weeks like they said then then the new episodes would begin september 28th. This sounds good in that most new seasons begin around this time in september, but thats in america not sure how the japanese do things. just gotta hope so :D .

[lisaa]

i'll try and be a little more patient for 16 weeks... DONT LET ME DOWN NARUTO! or else i'll stab you! :rolleyes: how old is kakashi turning? 27 wasn't it.. wow his 27 and his still so awesome :) i hope im that awesome when im 27

[BioAlien]

i'll try and be a little more patient for 16 weeks... DONT LET ME DOWN NARUTO! or else i'll stab you! :rolleyes: how old is kakashi turning? 27 wasn't it.. wow his 27 and his still so awesome :) i hope im that awesome when im 27


.. how can he get older.. in a filler! that imposible!

[Kraco]

That's hardly so critical for Kakashi. Whether he's 26 or 27 doesn't much matter to the greater story.

[RyougaZell]

That's hardly so critical for Kakashi. Whether he's 26 or 27 doesn't much matter to the greater story.

especially since this fillers are supposed to be during a "time-jump"

[Moonfire]

Maybe the fillers to last three years.

You know, to make the time jump a more real experience for us.

[BioAlien]

Maybe the fillers to last three years.

You know, to make the time jump a more real experience for us.

ya right.. a "real" experience... i realy don't think someone wanted to see 3 years of filler to make it more "real"

[isso]

ya right.. a "real" experience... i realy don't think someone wanted to see 3 years of filler to make it more "real"

LOL great point!

[saman]

hi folks

so, on the official naruto site, http://naruto.com/j/, there's a trailer for the third naruto movie. now, in this trailer, this screen shows up:

http://img467.imageshack.us/img467/1272/ending1dr.jpg
the text is translated as such:

シリーズ史上最高のスケールで贈る
Presenting the series on the greatest scale in history
第一部完結篇！
The last volume in part one!

make of it what you will.

[Diptera]

After making a vague calculation, it appeared that the filler episodes can't end for a while -- possibly as long as 5 or 6 months? That is, if Part II turns out to be as long as Part I in the manga. If they start the real episodes again, it might catch up unless they add more fillers later on.

Is there already a thread with some predictions?

[RyougaZell]

Interesting
Does it mean the movie will end the fillers? hmmm... when is the movie being shown in japanese theathers?

[Terracosmo]

August 5th. So it would fit with the schedule.

[kaniskii]

I like the trailer. Good animation ( of course). We get to see Lee going crazy, all his moves. But, it will prob. suck. I do also like the fact that they have on some different outfits.

[ikari]

So there may just be a light at the end of the Naruto filler tunnel eh? Can't wait for them to get back on track.

[6Zabuza9]

AUGUST 5th?~~~ if its true that means i can enjoy naruto for 1 month of summer vacation :)

[BioAlien]

" The last volume in part one! "

that doesn't mean the filler will end at the same time though,
we if are lucky, then yes it will
if not, they will wait until the movie is released on DVD... or until the movie is no longer in theater.

[saman]

yeah, see, that's the thing. this could mean the fillers end the week after the movie comes out, or it could just mean that this is the last movie to come out in part one. right now the only thing we can say with some degree of confidence is that the next movie will very likely be in part two.

[Mizuchi]

I wish we could see that movie in theatres... it looks good...

[zibo]

Will naruto and others have the same clothes in the movie as they will after the fillers or are they going to be different, i am curious as throughout the whole 194 eps so far they never change clothes..

[Mizuchi]

Will naruto and others have the same clothes in the movie as they will after the fillers or are they going to be different, i am curious as throughout the whole 194 eps so far they never change clothes..

in the sannin battle, naruto's jacket was unzipped. he looked badass.

[RyougaZell]

August 5th. So it would fit with the schedule.

So... if the Movie is shown... lets say 1 month... September should have part 2...

And the first episode of september is none other than episode 200....

Oh well, another month at least.

[p0ltergeist]

Um yeah that just looks like a Naruto filler in movie form... but at least the animation is good... :rolleyes: I honestly don't see how this could be the "end of part one" when it is obviously not in the manga. But there is hope at least...

EDIT: That hope being that they consider the "filler" up to this point as "part one".

[Jadugar]

So how many fillers so far?

Is someone counting?

[Canadian]

Wait... was there an official announcement as to when the fillers would be ended? From everything I have read, it seems like people are saying ep. 200 is the end of the fillers?

Anyways, has anyone compared some of the "copy and paste" style Naruto shadow clones to the ones in the intros of of the earliest episodes... the animation on the intros just rocks (the ones made especially for the intro)... I mean, damn, if they put that much effort into the beginning of the non-fillers... I'd be way too happy.

[Elessar]

So how many fillers so far?

Is someone counting?Well, after 135 it gets fillerish. A few leftovers from the manga are spread out over the first fillers, but that's it.

If they timeskip September, the manga will have a headstart 40 episodes worth (normal 2 chapters => 1 episode ratio). So probably two seasons, then back to filler-country. Or they make the timeskip, and add little filler-arcs in between. But I sincerely doubt they can postpone the timeskip much longer. Jiraiya postponeing their training all the time gets ridiculous.

[NeoCybercoin]

Spoiler removed, Remember what forum your in next time -MOD

[Alter_Ego]

I just started watching naruto on episode 55 I think now So i have to hurry and catch up before fillers end

[Yukimura]

Too be more or less exact; to the date of this post 56 fillers have aired consequtively since the last fully manga inspired episode (one, maybe two, episodes of filler had a small portion of manga material in them) and from the titles of episodes released to date I would say the next 5 episodes will also be filler. After that I can't say, but I have 0 hopes for the Naruto anime and mange reconciliation, so when/if it does happen i'll be that much happier about it.

Something I just realized, it's been over a year since the fillers started, and I imagine several of you non-manga readers have forgotten parts of the original story. That being said, it's also quite possible that you won't like the material presented from the manga at all, there are obviously debates and such in the manga readers section so remember not to become too obsessed with the idea that the manga storyline will magically awe you completely and totally and you'll like it no matter what. Though I imaging a cohearant long term plot will be enough for many people to be happy again.

[Jadugar]

Say what?

When Naruto returns to its original storyline it will kick ass and all the non-manga readers will definitely have multiple orgasms. FULL STOP.

[Kraco]

...so remember not to become too obsessed with the idea that the manga storyline will magically awe you completely and totally and you'll like it no matter what. Though I imaging a cohearant long term plot will be enough for many people to be happy again.

I didn't like Naruto "no matter what" before the fillers but because it was a good series (and even the fillers are tolerable). And so it will be judged also after the fillers. And I believe this is true for great many people. No doubt among Naruto fans there are, as well, lots of viewers who do have obsessive opinions, but that's their choice. Whatever floats your boat is fine. We are here for fun, and what's fun is personal for everybody.

[-ANBU-Sasuke-]

Well let's all hope, I don't see why the animiators are doing this, they are probably loosing alot of fanbase in Japan. I can't wait to hear about the American version views talk about the fillers not stopping!

[Terracosmo]

I like how everyone thinks that Naruto is losing it's fanbase in Japan when it's in fact just as popular as it always has been.

KIDS, people. KIDS. KIDS WATCH NARUTO. Would you care about fillers when you were 8 years old? No, you'd love this just as much as the manga material.

[Yukimura]

I doubt they'll know they are fillers here in the US. From what I can tell manga isn't anywhere near as popular as stuff like Toonami and Adult Swim, though i'm starting to doubt that, from the types of people I see in the manga sections of bookstores I frequent.

[rotary7eaven]

197. 木の葉の11人全員集合

lol? Naruto's memory.... what will happen? some random anbu guy will tell naruto about his parent or something?


ps. woo! i turn 17 in 136 min! woo!

[Terracosmo]

It will be about Naruto forgetting how to perform kage bunshin, and how he'll consequently turn defenseless.

[DB_Hunter]

That, or he forget the third stage of the Rasengan and we have an enitre arc on Naruto rel-learning the third stage and getting his memory back, since simply learning it means he will forget it again (Memento style).

[Edort4]

Sakura is going to hit naruto, he'll fly away landing on his head suffering a memory loss. Tsunade is going to order anbu to redo all of narutos life so he can get his memories back.

I made a filler plot in 10 seconds! :(

[samsonlonghair]

No, he still has the ability to fart in his opponents face ala Kiba. That's his special ninja technique that he only uses rarely.

[Uberbaka]

You all know it's gonna be something retarded like:

"Naruto lost his forehead protector!? Oh noes! D: Anbu to the rescue!!!!"

[ludo410]

woot im back... 4 mounths with no computer... well did i miss anything... um no >.>

[Naruto_Fan]

lol~

well it's been a long and painful journey that pretty much all naruto fans had to endure in hopes that the week after would be the end. yet here we are after over a year's worth of non-stop, crazy, boring, lame, filler epi yet we still want more naruto no matter how bad it gets..

the moment of truth of whether or not that movie trailer really did mean the end of the fillers or not is comin in a few days...let's hope these upcomin epi titles are fake and in fact that we're getting some kakashi gaiden epi followed by maybe a filler epi or 2 (i can let studio pierrot go away with that) and then maybe start part 2..

seriously, if they can make up all this **** that the fillers have shown, can't they at least just do the ____ gaiden now and add stuff along the way? like show scenes of gaiden characters training or fooling around in konoha and maybe yondaime practicing his jutsu...

i sure wouldn't mind getting filler content added to non-filler plot material...it'll

- widen the gap between anime and manga
- won't disappoint the fans as much b/c it'll still be on the manga's track, but little by little

[saman]

if the episode titles are from http://cal.syoboi.jp/tid/210, and they are, then they're not fake. sorry to disappoint you

[Zhao]

so cuz of computer problems and being out of town a lot i'm totally out of what's going on with naruto right now. just wondering if anyone knows about the filler status and the movie and such. also i'm on 171 i think, am i going to be missing much if i don't watch the rest of the fillers? thanks

[mage]

whats ___ gaiden??

Don't ask, it's manga-only. Naruto_fan hasn't been taking me seriously when he's been warned 3 times already not to talk about it, so I'm giving him a tempban. It's a small request, I don't see why some of you guys are having so much trouble obeying it.

-GW Moderator

[AndyisFrozen]

so um can anyone give an actual answer on what is the last filler episode or when its gonna end ? cuz i would look foward to the story getting back on track. rather than the story flipping off the track and on its way off the cliff O_O

Edited: Thanks :D!

[Kraco]

Somebody here wrote a long time ago (yeah, such an expression is unfortunately already deadly accurate) that if the date was known for real, it would be all over the net for everybody to readily read. Nothing like that is, however, to be found. That pretty much proves the studio bosses have made no further statements.

[ikari]

A man can dream....a man can dream.

Bah...silly fillers. I do hope that they get back to the Manga at some point.

[chambers]

omfg i wish these damn fillers would end, this sucks so fucking hard that they have been going for like what now? a year and a half :(

[Canadian]

omfg i wish these damn fillers would end, this sucks so fucking hard that they have been going for like what now? a year and a half :(

I've only had to endure the fillers for like 6 months, >_<; 6 months has felt like forever. :(

If they continue to make fillers with the same high quality as ep. 195, I think it'll be ok for a while longer.

[Genma]

It might be a while for the Naruto Anime team to catch up to the manga, since no one is entirely sure when there'll be a break in it. They're probably just seizing the opportunity of the 2 year gap between the sasuke chase arc and part 2 to make sure they don't pass by the manga.

If you're familiar with the manga, you'll know that they haven't made a significantly large step away from the last non-filler Naruto episode. It literally took me... 6 hours, maybe, to catch up on it starting from the chapters after the chase arc. In perspective, that'll fill up about one season... plus half of another one. Maybe.

If you're really not satisfied with the fillers, my best suggestion would be to pick up the manga (if you haven't already) or just pretend like Naruto is an American show and has seasons with breaks (ie: stop watching it).

[DB_Hunter]

This is one damn long seasonal break. The last filler crap I saw I think was the Rock Lee Curry of life arc. For me Naruto is as good as dead and buried right now.

[Canadian]

You should DL the most recent filler episode.

[DB_Hunter]

Will I be able to follow it without watching any of the past fillers?

[BioAlien]

yes you can watch the recent episode without watching the other filler, since they have nothing in common.

[Mizuchi]

yes you can watch the recent episode without watching the other filler, since they have nothing in common.

Yes they do. Reference to lee's dojo.

[BioAlien]

oh ya... that.... but that just 1 simple thing...

[Kraco]

We have no idea how this arc will end. It could be good, or it could be bad. I think it might be a bit early to suggest this one so strongly to somebody who hasn't been watching any fillers for a long time.

The arc with lots of element from Anko's past also started very promisingly, yet the final battles weren't exactly brilliant. And that's not the only filler arc that took such a turn to worse.

[Mizuchi]

We have no idea how this arc will end. It could be good, or it could be bad.

LIES!! It WILL be good! Don't discourage the few followers we have left.

[DB_Hunter]

I think it will be safer for my sanity to sit this arc out as well, for now anyway.

[RedX1z]

LIES!! It WILL be good! Don't discourage the few followers we have left.

these followers you speak of, they exist, right? don't worry, it's not his attitude towards fillers that's going to push them away, it's obviously going to be the horrible fillers, one by one, they'll drift away into nothing-ness(i know this isn't a word, but work with me), your efforts are futile, so give up!

anyways, can't believe it's still not over, yet. thursday nights have never been more boring. what started off to be the greatest thing since fried cheese has turned into one of the most boring anime out there. just sitting here, looking at the ceiling is mildly better. somebody wake me when this is all over.

[Lefty]

This will never be over. It will drag on for years so they can make cheap plushy toys from all the gay characters they make for the filler arcs. I give up on this show from ever recovering fomr this filler hell.

[Canadian]

Maybe it's their way of getting rid of all fansubs (before they get on with the good stuff), :-P

But seriously, this new arc is pretty decent. The arc with the three brothers was pretty good, too (though, the ending was extremely cheesy).

[Mizuchi]

The arc with the three brothers was pretty good, too (though, the ending was extremely cheesy).

I guess I'm one of the very few that thinks that the three brothers arc wasn't good at all.

Though the plot was decent and all, there were so many small things that turned the arc into garbage i.e. the character personalities.

For example, the the way the princess was talking (I don't remember if she was a princess or not, don't really care) was irritating me the entire arc. Her stubbornness and arrogance was too annoying for me to handle.

And other small things like when the camp got attacked, and naruto and the flower ninja were talking.

Flower nin: My brother was always better than me :'(
Naruto: Your brother lost to this water ninja!
Flower nin: Oh yeah! So if I beat this ninja, I can be better than my brother!

....No more mourning over your recently murdered brother?

Not even mentioning that the ending was horrible too...

And just lots of other little things that add together and just ruin the arc.

[Canadian]

I have learned to ignore or come up with a beleivable reason for any flaws in what I watch. But yeh, that kind of stuff was annoying... The ending was the worst, though.

All the same, a half-decent arc is better than a haunted house filler... or that ninja-cook filler.

[dragonrage]

Lol, I almost hate to admit this. But enjoy reading and observing the people that follow Naruto the anime, more than I actually enjoy watching the fillers. You all watch them whether you dislike them or not. I guess you all still have a small glimmer of hope that someday that they will return to the main storyline whether you want to admit it or not.

After reading a few of these comments it actually convinced me to start watching once more, and it have given me a new point of view to look at the series from. Though I must admit that I only watch them when I am throughly bored. Your discussions, arguments, disdain and hope is really something to marvel at.

Long live the fans of Naruto, the show may suck, but the fans are definately interesting.

thanks for the entertainment. It is much better that what they are shelling out, definately.


your truly

dragonrage.

[Alter_Ego]

When I first started watching naruto I was worried that I wouldnt be able to catch up with the series before fillers ended but here I am cought up with the anime and still fillers...

I guess I will catch up on FMA/Bleach

[DarthEnderX]

I guess I will catch up on FMAHow the hell do you "catch up" to a series that ended years ago?

[Mizuchi]

How the hell do you "catch up" to a series that ended years ago?

By not finishing it.

[Diptera]

Long live the fans of Naruto, the show may suck, but the fans are definately interesting.
That was ... that was beatiful, Dragonrage. Fans them[our]selves are something to be quizzled and bemused by.

[Edort4]

I just read in another page related with naruto (maybe not the most serius web) that fillers will come to an end in the chapter 204! :eek:

I thought that it would end in the chapter 200 but 204 is fine with me, just make them end! I need some confirmation from a more valid source.

[Mizuchi]

I thought that it would end in the chapter 200 but 204 is fine with me

I kno 4 episodes sounds little, but thats like an entire extra month. I know we've been waiting for over a year now but still...

[Kraco]

That would indeed be cool. Let's hope it's not just another guess. Those have been plentiful since the beginning of this year.

[Edort4]

Things are getting more consistent but still just a rumor.

http://mangahelpers.com/forum/index.php?topic=7162

[RyougaZell]

That sounds just like another "hopeful" moment.
204 marks the beginning of the next season, probably the reason behind the new "hopeful" episode.

But until Cal.Syoboi releases a non-filler episode name... I will not believe it.

[bxgreatone87]

thats also the period where one of the fillers said the true series would start again so that sites is most likely going by that. It makes the most sense from the little we can go by. i guess if you really need that little bit of hope there it is.

[eternal_spring247]

wow i can't believe it's been that long. if they've only got 35 episodes or so that's less than a year tho. i really hope they don't start fillers again that soon O_O.

[Assertn]

Zhao...1 anime episode = about 1.75 - 2 manga chapters

But keep in mind, that 35 weeks from now, there will be 35 more manga chapters..which is like 18 episodes.

Then 18 weeks from there, there will be 18 more manga chapters...which is 9 eps..etc.

[eternal_spring247]

Warning? Talking about ..... gaiden? Is this because of the possibility of a spoiler.....

Come on, you guys also put the #^$#@% news on the main page. Thank me for the info instead giving me warnings.

[Munsu]

Take that assertn, eternal has a point there.

[Assertn]

Thank you for what? Pointing out what Ryouga Zell has already been doing for months now?

We agreed that the constant references to the gaiden are spoiler on the grounds that it refers to a page in the story that has not appeared yet in the anime, which implies future events in the story, as well as providing openings for more threatening spoilers. If anyone referenced the gaiden in the news, let me know.

I kindly asked that people refrained from doing it a year ago, and yet everyone is ignoring my request, so now i treat it as not only a spoiler, but also insubordination.

[ikari]

Oh thank goodness, I'm glad to see the end of Naruto fillers is near. Hopefully the manga progressed well enough that they shall not need to return to fillers for some time.

[Diptera]

Assertn, I think you should give Wikipedia a warning. That's how I got spoiled on [that exact same topic]. ...Sorry, I'm not really trying to be a dumbass.

I'm amazed at how long Naruto has been going on. I'm used to shows, and anything serial, being cancelled quickly like in the US and UK. The whole story has taken so long to develop, I wonder how many more times we'll get filler in the show before the manga wraps up.

The episode title is on the GW front page. But really, who cares? Even if you know it's coming, you don't know what it's about or what happens in it.

[RyougaZell]

Hmmm
Well...
Since ANN posted the "kakash's birthday" and "time stops" titles as 'official' I will not believe them

Conveniently Cal.Syobi is down, so we really can not trust this new -info-

Heck, Im not even posting them on my thread... until Syobi is back online I will not take it as official

EDIT:
Oh yeah... check LeafNinja.com
They have summaries for episodes 197 to 199... and by the summary of 199 I can almost 100% guarantee episode 200 will be a follow up.

[Assertn]

Assertn, I think you should give Wikipedia a warning. That's how I got spoiled on [that exact same topic]. ...Sorry, I'm not really trying to be a dumbass.
No, you're trying to be a smartass. If you're not concerned about spoilers, then by all means use Wikipedia...there are spoilers spanning all of the manga in there. My job is to make sure this place remains clean, so people who prefer not to know won't have to tread lightly in fear of spoilers popping up.

Mage:
1) Half of the name itself eludes to what it's about.
2) Like I said before, constant references to upcoming arcs are also invitations to spoilers from those arcs. I'm waiting for the guy that starts talking about the meaning behind episode 200's translated title.

[bxgreatone87]

This thing about the fillers ending at episode 200 is most likely a lie. since its episode 200 they are probably makeing it seem like the fillers will end since its a major milestone for the series. Its like the april fools joke and how they said last year the fillers would end in may.

[eternal_spring247]

@ Assertn: Take a look at the main page on http://www.gotwoot.net/index.php:
I'm not putting the info in this reply, because I would get a @#%#% warning from you.

It is posted by masamuneehs in Anime: Why not give him / her a warning? :D

Anyway, let's all hope the 200 is the new start!!

- Update -
I saw the update by masamuneehs. Damn..... ANN removed the episodes from the list. The list is now till 199.
Oh my god........

[masamuneehs]

i'm as upset about the ever-changing status of the end of Naruto fillers as much as anyone else. As someone who only watches the anime even I've been spoiled about upcoming events for the sake of finding some news on the end of all this.

but i do ask people to cooperate with the moderators. Referencing future episode titles is a potentially huge spoiler. I mean, if someone got their hands on an episode title like "The Strongest Battle! Kimimaro vs. Gaara" or "Third Farewell Forever" BEFORE it was aired, even previewed, and posted it here, wouldn't you consider it to be a massive spoiler?

Now I know my frontpage post was a little premature (i fuckin knew i was going to stick my foot in my mouth... but i just wanted to have a little hope and get people psyched about Naruto again) and could count as a spoiler, so i've editted it until further notice.

even though most people do know what occurs directly after the fillers don't get mad at Assertn for trying to protect those that don't. When we offer a spoiler-free place to discuss Naruto (or anything) we mean spoiler free. Part of this means keeping info about unaired episodes down to a minimum, especially since it could invoke people to post bigger spoilers.

again, sorry for this confusing.

death to fillers.

[Winged Dancer]

Well, if the announced titles are real then that's just very good news. I had basically stopped watching the anime because of how bad the fillers were... they were bad at the beggining (super Rasengan ocean toilet!) and the ones I happened to watch the last few months were even worse.

Here's hoping to the start of the second generation....

[Yukimura]

The funny thing, in my opinion, is that without speculation/hints at the manga storyline I doubt the current Naruto would even warrant it's own section on the main boards. Of course some people want to be surprised, which is why this section exists, but I can't imagine anyone mad over filler spoilers, like 'Raiga didn't really die' or 'that sketchy kid is really an evil imposter'.

But it occurs to me, probably not for the first time, isn't the label of filler a spoiler in and of itself? By calling the last 50ish episodes filler we are indirectly telling people what probably won't happen in the story. As I assume most intelligent people would deduce that if an episode is 'filler' then it most likely won't be included in or referanced by the 'non-filler'. The best example is Hinata's charachter development, will that carry over or not? If you take the development we've seen then call it filler, it implies that her development not be present or ignored in the 'real' time.

[Assertn]

Yeah, it is.......
but at the same time, I think the viewer-base would suffer even more to think all this crap is part of the real story. There probably wouldn't be anyone left at this point. If it wasn't for the fact that the fillers are just so incredibly bad, the community wouldnt feel embarrassed enough by its presence to publicly shun them.

[KoKo37]

Well it looks like ANN was joking, they've listed up to 200 episodes again, but with a new title for episode 200 and if this title's true, then it is a filler.

[Assertn]

lol the jokes xd

[FrogKing]

Holy crap, these last 2 days have been a see-saw of emotions. First, no fillers! Yay! Then there was a hint this morning about the possibility of a joke...Now, it seems that episode 200 is filler. Sh!t...well let's hope that Edort4 is right and they'll now end at 204. I hope that this get verified sometime soon...filler hell blows!

[Winged Dancer]

Yukimura raises some good points... I don't know if character development actually happened during the fillers (all I know about Hinata is that she was "naked under a waterfall" or something) but then again, even almost a year and a half after the TV fillers started the manga hasn't gone that far ahead. It'd be interesting if Kishimoto had actually watched the fillers and decided to carry on some of the things that happened, but then again, I doubt it.

And I don't know about that joke...my only source is narutofan.com, and they have posted that the new arc will start on #200.

[Yukimura]

To date the only thing I've seen that could be considered a development during the fillers was Hinata's new technique, which was created and explained only in the fillers. Now later in the series there might be some situation where Hinata's technique could save the day, but the question is, will she have it. If she does then the fillers will have polluted the original storyline and I'll be quite dejected, but if she doesn't then I'll feel bad that a decent development for Hinata was wasted on the fillers.

[Kraco]

Whether it stays or not, it at least achieved one thing: It made the fillers just a little bit better. Hinata was one of the most used filler characters, if I quickly tried to estimate it from my memory alone (which might be a bit fuzzy since we are talking about the not so memorable fillers). And honestly when the series gets back to business with the manga plot, I doubt many of us will be remembering the fillers constantly or comparing things to them. Best to forget them and stick to the greater plot.

[LordGardenGnome]

I've been watching the show since it aired and since the fillers have started it just get it and put it in storage don't even watch it, someimes I'd jump through to see if it was worth watching and find out it wasn't. So i'm happy to hear the show get back on track.

Sakura learns some medical jutsus.

[DB_Hunter]

Do you remember in which eps she learns them or is it drawn out across the fillers?

[JaySee]

All I remember is when she learns how to heal a fish and that is from the manga, but thrown in during the fillers instead of #135 where it should have been, IIRC.

[Yukimura]

At the end of the first filler arc, Sakura goes to see Tsunade and confesses her undying crapiness to her, Tsunade, likely drunk at the time, agrees to take her on as a student.

@ above: Does it count as a spoiler to say that that scene was not filler but actual manga material? I assume there is some slack in the rules, since this thread exists, but Assertn recently implied that anything that would allow someone to deduce events that will occur in the future of the anime are spoilers i.e the preview after every ep.

[Kraco]

How could it be a spoiler to verify past events? It's not like the fillers were a totally different series, after all. They may have so little meaning that it wouldn't affect much even if you didn't watch them, but they are still a part of the series.

And anyway, leave it for Assertn or other mods to deduce if it's allowed or not, and react accordingly. They are the enforcers setting the precedents.

[mirai]

What if filler script writters did consult with kishimoto?

Then again, after the "magnetic" ninja case from fillers that option looks rarely possible.

well this week's epi was kind of a bummer...

was too much junk with pretty much showing flashbacks and showing anbu thinking~

and next week epi shows the konoha ninjas as kids?! oh geez...how are they ever gonna make it so it flows right into the non-filler stuff??

EDIT

u know, i've been thinking and uh...i dun think that studio pierrot will stop releasing these lame naruto filler epi even though they've done quite enough of 'em to make us all sick~

[drims]

Been a while since I have looked to see as to how the show is progressing, or in gotwoot, (moving to college and stuff). But it still seems like Naruto fillers are going. :(

I just wish a new episode title would be "this is not a filler , YAY!" or something along those lines.

[Seraph]

In all honesty, after switching to the manga... I really don't care much about the animated version of it. However, when it does come around, I might give it a d/l just for the sake of seeing things in action.

[tehlegend]

i can say with confidence that you would not be alone... i hope the english version of events includes all the filler to put everyone else in the same sort of agony as us...

all those toonami watchers will be like... "ZOMG DOOD WTF WHENS THIS FILLER GONNA END" like around episode 175... and we can laugh at their agony as they come back at he release of every new episode and grow more impatient...

[HOTPROPHET]

Ok, I'm not one who complains much about fillers, as a matter of a fact, I usually tell people to stop wasting peoples time when it come to nagging about fillers but the quality of the Bleach fillers vs Naruto fillers is making me write this. Maybe someone could clarify my thoughts

Ok, so... lets put it this way, naruto has been filling for nearly HALF the episodes that have been aired, almost approaching two years... TWO YEARS PEEPS!! In theses lines of episodes the writers could of actually planned to perhaps write up an entire new kind of a solid story without messing up the manga storyline, like hey maybe he could of gone on an insanely long mission or gone to spend some time at another village for a while. Instead of making a nice long solid filler story or two, they aired nothing but cut up garbage for almost an ENTIRE 2 YEARS!! You'd think that after that long they could of come up with something better for fillers. But, it's not just the storyline that sucks, notice how the quality of the drawing and music have completely gone to hell. Seriously, look at backgrounds and the effort they put into sound effects, I hope that they will go back to normal once the show goes back to the manga.

Take Bleach for example, I seriously didn't know that the Bountou storyline was even a filler until the very last episodes. But seriously... it was freaking great!! I hardly consider that season as a filler.

So i guess I want to know if people have an answer or a theory for the reason Naruto fillers were absolute shit.

[bxgreatone87]

it's easy they had monkeys typeing the scripts.

seriously though it's because they didnt really care anymore as long as they make a killing with the series. As long as money is comeing in they dont care what they are produceing thats why anime like kenshin gets taken out during fillers once they make there money they dont care if a series ends because of fillers.

Anyway this is pointless talking about it now since the series will start again in february. let us rejoice in the fact that fillers will end soon and not even think of the shit the Ape for brains directors flung at us.

[Shinji Ikari]

yup and it's sure is about time fillers ended and we see shippu-den and maybe kakashi gaiden before it...:D :D

i sure hope that the wait was worth it, studio pierrot & kishimoto do a good job animating, and hoping for no fillers for a very very long time (especially after over 1 yr worth of non stop filler which i think is definitely crazy, yet here we all are still eagerly watching naruto...lol)

Ah yes, the good old days when we thought that the "Infiltrate Oro's Lair" filler would be the only one, and then right back to the manga... People still had hope during the Mizuki arc - then the horror started sinking in when we got the first utterly crappy filler with Raiga and the "curry of life". Man I better stop, it's traumatic to even remember filler history.

Luckily it will be history in what, 77 days?

[DarthEnderX]

I still liked the Raiga arc better than the two before it. At least Lee kicked ass in it.

well at least now we don't have to go through such a long marathon of fillers. i mean i could really understand maybe like 4 fillers in a row...but seriously, the 1.7 yrs worth of episodes has been ridiculously and painfully long...

hopefully, the last few fillers are much better because part ii seems very promising...

[DarthEnderX]

I'm glad they put all these fillers in at once. Because it means once they get started again I don't have to worry about a bunch of tiny filler arcs that mess up the flow of the main story.

It's been a long hard road, but in the end it will hopefully be worth it.

[Kraco]

In retrospect that manner of thinking is certainly valid. But still it was somewhat hard last spring when the deadline of the first rumour came and passed and nothing happened.

[Uberbaka]

Just as long as they stay away from stupid fillers like that bull-ride to the stadium for the finals.. That was just annoying and uncalled for.

That is, if you want your eyes to bleed.

[DarthEnderX]

It's like optical syphalis.

[Rhanfahl]

Seems like this is a legitimate end date....figures. I waited so damn long without reading the manga...until about 2 weeks ago. Now I'm all caught up and the show's starting back up. I'm not complaining so much as lamenting my impatience for not waiting.

I'm a little scared though as to how long it will take them to catch back up though since I blew through the manga in only a few hours.

You don't have to watch them, but the last arc (eps. 216 - current) is actually pretty good. If you just had to watch something to tide you over until the 15th, that arc is the least annoying of the fillers IMO. Plus the next episode is the series end, so you probably should watch it as a nice lead-in to Naruto:Shippuden.

Since 135 was the last manga-related episode, this means you can skip 85 episodes and not miss anything important. I would still recommend watching the last 5, but it's up to you.

[coldpower27]

It's been so long since I came here my last login was like over half a year ago on May 26th 2006. It's nice to hear Naruto is starting up again finally though. :D

[kimbap629]

I'm glad fillers end this week. But what I don't get is how they're gonna finish it up because the new enemy didn't "die" yet. I'm hoping it'll end in a creative way and not the usual naruto rendan or like a kage bunshin + rasengan combo...

[Xollence]

Wow can't believe the fillers are finally ending. I haven't watched Anime in over a year.

[12345p]

Yay! One more filler to go!

[BioAlien]

*dance of joy* :D


Now, the only thing that may remove that smile from my face, is something like this:

In the news of the 15th of febuary :
Naruto Shippuden won't start in 2007, but really in 2008. Our news writer apologize for his small mistake and hope you will enjoy, yet, another year of fillers with us.

[Yukimura]

The worst thing for me is that the first non-filler episode could potentially be quite boring assuming they stretch the first new chapter into an entire episode, but if they don't then..well some of you may piss your pants.

it's too late for me... i already pissed my pants when i saw the preview of episode 220 at the end of 219

[pandamannen]

Wow, you obviously don't care to read the rules or search the forums for even one minute. This kind of posting is a pain in the ass to clean-up and adds nothing to the forums.

This is your first, and only, verbal warning. Next time will go on your record, so please read the Rules.

I stopped looking at Naruto at ep 177 and my question is as follows:
Has there only been fillers since that?

[Danad_corps]

The "official Countdown to the End of Fillers" thread was like 4 below this. You coulda just looked there. Anyways its ending on the 15 of this month and yes it has just been all fillers.

hahaha that would be quite funny and quite depressing at the same time. I'll probably say i'll stop watching Naruto forever if they do that but i know i'll be dragged back to watching those fillers like a masochist to a sadist. Well as far as we know, the fillers will end this week and the REAL story will being next week :)

[Harima Kenji]

Say this out loud and feel all warm and fuzzy:
"The Naruto fillers are over!"

Has the gotwoot-countdown reached '0' or would that be next week..?

Technically speaking Naruto itself has ended...can't say it ended with a bang :p

[Stoopider]

How long has it been already?

[UChessmaster]

around 84 weeks

[dragonrage]

heemmm haven't watch naruto in a while and boy was that a good decisions. I am glad to hear that the series is finally getting back on track. Lets see if they can will actually do the series justice and resolve the pains that they have caused their fans. I hope that they don't water down the anime since it was licensed and is being offered to a younger market in the U.S.

Anyways I am glad to hear that it will be worth my time to watch naruto once again, but i think i won't pick up the series anytime soon. Maybe in a few months. It will be interesting to read some of your comments i am sure, for now that is enough.


Have fun guys and enjoy it. You all sure deserve it. IT'S BEEN TOO DAMN LONG. Lets hope that it was worth the wait, pain and heartbreak. Doubt it, but we can hope.

[Honoko]

Ya, can't wait for this series to get back on track. Last time I watched this anime, some ninja used some butterfly jutsu to return from the dead =P That's when I knew it was time to back away. Looking forward to joining on the discussions once again here ^^

[Lefty]

I stoped with the horrible star chakra arc. When you got chakra coming out of a characters ass you know the writers are really struggling.

But yeah it will be good to see how the handle all the really great fights we got coming up.

[JaySee]

I hope they don't do to Naruto what they've done to Bleach. Bleach is being horribly censored and they've integrated filler story line into the manga story line.

[kimbap629]

Well unlike Bleach, there aren't really any filler stuff that they could incorporate into Shippuden. If there is any, it won't be that noticeable.

[JaySee]

Well there's Hinata's new technique and Gaara's. Not to mention the whole paying back the favor to the sand thing.

[dimitris127]

For about the millionth time, we ask that you don't say the names of arcs or episodes or anything out of the manga. ...such a pain in the ass...

Warned.
masa

could you answer a question i have plz?are they gonna show the real i'm an idiot who can't follow the rules???(they had shown a filler one with the ten top battles if i remember well)

[Assertn]

What new technique of gaara's? That spear thing?

[Carnage]

Man, its been over a year and a half for me. I stopped watching after the first episode of Tony the Tiger.

The wait hasn't been too hard though, there has been the manga and other animes to follow along >.> :D

um...wtf? I'm glad I missed that one. I appearantly do not have the stomach some of you do. Once I got to that "Curry of Life" shit I nearly put my fist through my monitor... I see its only gotten worse from there.

[kaniskii]

as far as getting back on track, it will continue where the manga left off. so, it WILL get back on track. the manga has been just, if not better, than what he was already seen. So, if you left off because of the fillers, and want to think about coming back, well, if you liked it before, then you should like it now.

[ShinobiNeko]

Finally..the wait winds down. >.< Been so long since I've watched Naruto, will be nice to watch it again back on track.

Haha, that was hilarious translation btw. I wonder if that's what he actually said or if DB was making a joke.

[Winged Dancer]

Has anyone seen this little thing?

If only... if only... I only pray that nothing that happened in the fillers will actually appear in Shippuuden.

Edited the link, the link you provided redirected to a site with what's considered spoilers in this forum section

[Knives122]

I don't neccessarily think I would've been fine with it all being a dream(I didn't watch it so I don't care really).

Something more plausible would be for him to get hit in the head and forget everything that happened over the craptastic fillers..

[DB_Hunter]

Finally this crap is going to be over. Like a lot of people I stopped watching Naruto after that Curry of Life crap, and I'm looking forward to the anime getting back on track.

But I suppose there was a silver lining to the Naruto fillers, as they made me (and no doubt others as well) go and discover Bleach and One Piece.

[Yukimura]

I'm so pumped now, 2 more days and I can start laughing at all the wrong speculations and the whining that the story isn't going the way people want it to (in addition to seeing lots of cool stuff that will probably look amazing in color and motion). Don't let the crappiness of the fillers dull your judgement or your teeth gotwoot! If you don't like it once the fillers are over speak out!!!!

[KitKat]

Finally..the wait winds down. >.< Been so long since I've watched Naruto, will be nice to watch it again back on track.

Misa!!!! You're back!!! Best end to fillers ever \o/

[JaySee]

What new technique of gaara's? That spear thing?

Yep! I don't recall if the eyeball was shown before either, but it seemed oddly familiar.
Maybe in some future filler episode Gaara will be a sniper with his sand eyeball and sand rifle. :D Kinda like Kimimaro's machine gun fingers. :rolleyes:

[RyougaZell]

Chuunin Exam.
Gaara used that Eyeball to cheat the exam.

[mage]

He also used it to spy around the corner of a boulder when Kakashi was teaching Sasuke chidori.

Damn you Deadfire!! I've had that picture for about 2 months now and I was waiting for the perfect thread to use it in. Fuckin' beat me to it...


Oh well. So the first episode of Naruto Shippuden is tomorrow? Wow. I honestly can't believe it's been 2 years.

[Xyrox]

Hm. No news regarding delayed subs or anything like that. Guess not even Dattebayo will make a joke about the end of the fillers.

..Finally!

[DarthEnderX]

Except that they already did in last weeks naruto sub.

[Shinji Ikari]

the countdown ends now, at www.tokyotosho.com

[Danad_corps]

...Thats if you like it RAW. I prefer mine to be more refined and delicate. The countdown continues for me (and many others) until a subbed version is released. DB usu. releases it by 12/12:30 so thats about 6 hours of waiting.
