Ok I'm going to start this countdown to the end of Fillers
so Oct 24th to April 1st is 8 + 30 + 31 +31 +28 + 31 or 159 days or 22.7142857 weeks
Let the coutdown begin! YEAH!!!
3,816 hours or 228,960 minutes or 13,737,600 seconds
Don't they have automated counters for things like this. Can't you just put one here?
Fun facts: You will get to celebrate halloween, thanksgiving, christmas, a new year and easter before they show a non-filler Naruto.
I will be given numerous vacation days, such as Veteran's, the aforementioned major holidays, President's Day, as well as Martin Luther King Jr.'s Day, before they air an actual story related Naruto episode!
This is insanity!
yes insanity indeed. but at least we'll be getting filler episodes that will hopefully be decent. and luckily i can still watch bleach, which is getting really really good now
i wonder if the ratings have plumetted yet...?
Probably not so much. If the kids in Japan can manage to watch Pokemon, I think they are still watching Naruto.Quote:

yes i think so too, because if the ratings would have plumetted so much they definitely wouldnt do such a long filler period
I try to look at it from the positive side... At least when the fillers end, we will have a whole lot of episodes from the actual manga animated.
I'll be patiently waiting for the "return" of good ol' Naruto... I just wish anyone knew the exact number of filler episodes left so we could make a REAL countdown [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
ex.. Episode 163 Discussion
...... > (12 st00pid episodes left!)
you can wait until spring
The only thing I like about these fillers is the new opening song. Other than that, fillers suck ass.
best filler i think its still eps 101 hehe
The Idate Arc? Remind me to shoot you on sight.
There is no such thing as good filler.
There have been tolerable ones, but that's only in comparison to the horrendous ones preceding.
They make the manga for a reason. The anime should stick to following it, and nothing else.
If the anime is to be a motion testament to Kishimoto's work, why bother with fillers? Take a break. It was "End of Naruto Part I" .. !! That was like a damn Star Wars movie. All the shit that occurred in those near 140 episodes, only to get continual shit? I would have gladly waited a year or so without Naruto, in anticipation of the actual story being once again televised as opposed to their current idea. "Give them more Naruto! Who cares what he's doing!"
Fillers 'till April infuriate me.
Including this week's episode there will be a total of 23 fillers before the "real" Naruto starts.Quote:

Twenty-three episodes of filler episodes remaining IF the story returns to following the Manga the first week of April.
So, at the very least .. twenty-three episodes. At most, twenty-six. And, if they for some unknown reason push that date back even further, we'll rally the GW troops and slaughter them.

We have Troops?....
anyways I really wish we could find out out the exact date the fillers will end to make this countdown any good till then I'm going to say that april 1st be the date in till some other date comes around that makes more sence
Uh, well for one .. April 5th would make more sense, since April 1st is a Saturday. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
April 5th is a Wednesday, which is when the episodes air in Japan, as far as I could remember.
Since halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are in filler territory, they could do a special for each one [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] w00t for corny holiday specials...
(yeah I know there's no way in hell they'd do that...)
this makes the waiting seem even longer damn
I don't know before this summer I would agree with you, but after seeing both tiger mizuki and the legendary stupid brothers at the same time I think just about anything goes. Although do they even celibrate those holidays in japan?Quote:

I really wish there was some way we could communicate with the japanese naruto fanbase and hear what they think about all of this. Well at least we know there's an end. Good naruto will come, BELIEVE IT!!
Naruto's Christmas Holiday Special Dattebayo!!
Journey to the Hidden Village of Cringle!
I'll never forgive you Santa!
lol! Though I bet they won't be doing their christmas 1 hour specials now since the anime isn't following the manga.Quote:

(yeah I know there's no way in hell they'd do that...)
a) The reason that is obvious to you (ala your last sentence)
b) The fact that Japan has absolutely nothing to DO with thanksgiving.
Of all the anime I've watched (Granted I'm no expert not by a long shot) I have frequently seen specials with christmas themes and many shows surrounding valentine's day (a day when girls give guys chocolate in japan a little different from the holiday here) Those are pretty much the only 2 holidays I've seen beyond summer vacation type stuff. Honestly I don't see these two themes out of the realm of possiblity, if they honestly want to do filler for so long.
Also again not an expert on Japanese culture. But I believe in Japan they celebrate Christmas, Valentine's Day, White Day (May 14th exactly one month after valentine's day men are suppose to return the favor and give chocolate to girls, traditionally white chocolate which is why it is called White Day) and um.... Girl's Day in March? crude I'm forgeting when Girl's Day is. But those are the holidays I know. Of course they don't celebrate thanksgiving and Halloween from what I know is an exclusively US holiday (best one to I LOVE halloween [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] )Quote:

I was tempted to say Halloween, but I wasn't sure. Here in the UK it exists, but it isn't actually a holiday, so I thought Japan could be the same.Quote:

Thanksgiving on the other hand is a no-brainer.
Sorry, may I ask what is the difference between fillers eps and not fillers?
Fillers are episodes the creators put in to fill the void between episodes that follow the actual plot.

No eps 1 was not filler nor was it's season (I could be wrong) Fillers are more of a revent thing as the current fillers (what is this the 3rd filler arc) starts with the stupid brother arc (I though i do think there were some filler eps here and there during the season)
Basicly
REAL = Same as MANGA (or close too)
Filler = NOT in THE MANGA and is looks like it was made up using nothing more then about 100 monkeys with typewriters (no offence to the writers or the monkeys but come on!!!)
Sorry, May I know which eps are fillers? I am kind of lost track.
I think starting from episode 136 to now are the fillers.
But in episode 141, there's an important fact thrown in that's in the manga.
I found this on my travels and in follows this threads topic

As well I guess we will have the countdown to April 5th and so we are at 157 days now

teh shiz the idiot producers decide to make up are fillers, the stuff that comes from the naruto manga are not.
filler
- producers make up stuff
- purpose is to allow the manga to progress far enough away from where the anime is
- does not follow the manga's plot
normal episodes
- author directly involved
- follows the manga's storyline with some small differences in detail (ex: neji's marking)
basically, when the anime in terms of storyline gets too close to where the manga is, the anime starts showing filler episodes. when the manga gets far enough, then the anime will start showing episodes following the manga's plot. the reasoning behind this is that most anime episodes in general have about 3 chapters in an episodes. since 1 chapter of the manga and 1 episode of an anime airs each week (usually unless japan has a holiday going on like golden week), they need to pace the anime and manga in a way so that the producers will have time to animate things from the manga into anime form while the manga keeps going.
it's just that if the manga and the anime are at exactly at the same place plot-wise, the anime won't have anything to use for a full episode. thus, filler episodes are used.
Filler episodes in Naruto:Quote:
Sorry, May I know which eps are fillers? I am kind of lost track
episode 26: The episode before the Forest of Death where Konohamaru and his mates do that report thingie.
episode 97: Naruto's Hot Spring Experience (I'm pretty sure)
episode 101: The Kakashi mask thing (though this is based on a manga short)
episode 102-106: The Idate race arc
episode 136-current episodes: Rice country arc, Baka Bros. arc, Bikochu arc, Raiga arc
I think that's all of them.
new guy here.... and please no one say the word "duh" to me, thanks.
but what is "fillers?"
Fillers are episodes that don't follow the manga and have no real impact on the main storyline in any way.
Filler - Gay episodes of an anime that are ussually horrible. They are not part of the original storyline
set forth in the manga, but are put into the series to allow the manga to get a same distance away from
the anime so they don't overlap. Fillers also screw with the storyline, makeing the fans want to cry.
I'm gonna say duh even though he asked us not too because fillers was already defined in the thread, by a guy taking his whole post to give us a definition, so it means the guy was too lazy to even read 2 pages of thread.
I just joined this forum yesterday. Even I know to read all the threads in a topic before posting, I just didn't feel like telling him to "read previous posts". Besides, it was quicker just to answer him then rant about how its a waste of time....opps, I just did what I said I wouldn't do...sigh.
i was on the school computer, 3mins til class start so i was just browsing.. what do you want from me?.. but thanks you to those who filled me in anyway.. get it "filled in" - "fillers".. ha ha sheer gold i tell ya!
good things its almost over... i thought it would end up like dragonball z
Almost over? We have 5+ months left [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
I finally entered this forum after 3 months or so of absense.... Someone please pm me when Naruto goes back to the manga storyline... I haven't watched the last 12 episodes or so...
Oh, man. That's an ages old tradition. I'm sure the third post ever made after the invention of forums technology was "read the previous post!"Quote:

Well I hope that we finish this thread when the new ones come out
as of Nov. 4th we are at 152 Days left. or 21.714285714285714285714285714286 weeks left
That also works out to 3648 hours, 218880 Min, or 13132800 sec
wow deadfire u took troble to count that? lol
Define "U" and "Troble" and you will get the real answer, until then i will say "NO"Quote:

cant take anymore gay fillers RAWR
Aw common, how could anyone resist the temptation of a samurai ninja western? Hell when was the last time Naruto and co did anything remotely related to a ninja? I can't seem to remember. Yesh I love how the anime studio is desperatly struggling for material. Who knows maybe we'll see naruto facing off against an evil villain in a kunai throwing duel at sunset. Something tells me this episode is going to open up a new floodgate of crap.
yea i can expect that too. or maybe it'll be something dumb like naruto was dreaming about it or like it was a set for a movie (like the naruto movie). the anime is seriously pissing me off and it's sad for such a good manga to have to end up having so many boring and dull filler anime episodes.
it's because they rushed it. it would've been better if they added little bits of content (not in the manga) while showing manga-related anime episodes.
23 episodes left to go, and personally I can't wait for it to end. This is like a continual nightmare that just keeps going, and you just can't wake up. Given, some of the fillers are decent, but I'm to the point that I will just wait for the series to continue. I hope to God that they lay off the fillers for some time. I mean, how much more Rasengan can one really see, HOW MUCH?????
I personally can't stand it but thats why i made this thread.. so what are we up to?
147 days or exactly 21 weeks left ( that means only 21 to go?)
Maybe someone should set up a teaser page to give you guys an idea of how the characters will look a few years down the road
Hey, its not a spoiler to see some new outfits, is it? =]
I saw most of them already but sure do it
A few years older Hinata dancing under a waterfall? Don't bother with outfits, though...Quote:

Too bad it was filler material to begin with.
I made a thread for this in the open discussion before but I'll say it again. How awesome would it be if there was a naruto fighting game that incorporated all of the filler characters? I know you want the opportunity to be able to beat the crap out the fricking lighting sword guy or his little crippled buddy. Or how about playing as the old shop women and throwing the curry of life. Possibilities are endless we can play as all of our favorite characters like. Tiger MIzuki, Stupid Brothers, Karashi, generic bug nins from bikochu arc, raiga, ranmaru aka little cripple kid, and of course that new bounty hunter guy, and of course the light saber nin from the race arc. Man imagine all of the hours of fun you'll have making your ultimate dream matches. Udon vs. Ranmaru. Kisame vs. raiga. Bounty hunter guy vs. neji. Stupid brothers vs. chouji. Man the possibilities are endless.
Well, I'll post them anyway, if anyone wants a sneak peak of something to look forward to.
I'll post the pics one at a time, so you can savor the awesomeness [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
EDIT: Link moved to the new thread
Is that a pic from the manga or is it one of the official pics for the anime? Because I don't recall the manga being in color, but that just might be where I dl it. Anyways, cool pic. I personally would like to see more of em.
Nice pic. He almost looks like he could actually pull something off also other than by accident.
it looks like he got some booty
On second thought, maybe I'll create another topic so people can discuss the images without it interfering with other people who visit this topic.
Ero-Fan: The image was fan-colored based on other colored references.

140 days or exactly 20 weeks left ( that means only 19 or 20 to go)
1. so what is the countdown at? , please tell me its a 1 digit number
2. the perfect naruto game doesnt need more characters, it should be naruto hero 2 with a 4 player mode!!!!
did anyone forget they release 2 episodes of naruto at a time once every 2 or so weeks
that might take a few weeks off the waiting. correct me if im wrong cuz i ver well could be....
in my opinion next filler should be funny, but not great
more like once every 26 weeks.Quote:

And besides which those episodes are almost without fail right after or before them taking a week off. So youd end up in the same spot.
OK... SURVIVING...ONLY...4 MORE... MONTHS LEFT... Good old Nartuo... less than 20 more not so bad fillers...that's all... I CAN MAKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
16 Episodes left for those keeping track btw.
So will the hour long special be considered as one or two episodes?
I think two since they're skipping a week to put it out that way.
Who other than me hopes that Naruto -never- references/flashbacks anything from the filler arc once it's over?
Most probably the fillers will be forgotten once the fillers end. Remember they never actually happened to manga readers, so it would be unlikely if any flashbacks/references would be made. And I'm sure no one's complaining.Quote:

Yeah. Technically they could flashback to filler material, because anime is anime and manga is manga, and even if the former is (mostly) based on the latter, they are still somewhat separate things, as the fillers have proven. But honestly there has never been anything in the fillers that would be suitable or worth flashbacks. Well, if Naruto starts to hang out with Hinata, then perhaps...
Sorry I stopped counting (I know it's my own thread!)
What are we up to with this new one out soon
is the idate and the whole race thing fillers??? if so i think it sucks that they can have flasdhbaks of that time b/c the rasengan naruto hit on the guy seemed stupid cuz it just made him do spins, plus sasuke has flashbacks on episode 107 of wen he got wooped by the lightning sword guy n naruto had to do the job [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] if flashbaks can go to fillers here maybe it il hapen wen the real episodes start at the end of spring , i hop not that would suk A$$ n a big one
Yeah, the idate arc was a filler. Couldn't you tell? C'mon, a fucking lightsaber, sigh...
Edit: @Below: At least the staff was more original.
Sword made out of lightning was stupider than staff made out of a monkey how again?
So, after the fillers arc, Naruto goes off for three years (they skip this) and the Naruto II arc begins, right?
Why couldnt they just make the filler arc him with Jiraiya for three years?
So what's the countdown at now? 2 more months...?
it works if you know the whole mythology behind itQuote:

The point is, elitists hate fillers.
Are Sarutobi Sensei ( the third) and Sarutobi Asuma related since they have the same last name?
no
We don't know wether Sarutobi is the Thirds last name at all, but considering how all the students call their teachers "Firtsname"-sensei, I doubt it is. Secondly, that point has been raised again and again, but as of yet there is no evidence supporting or disproving that they are related. Though I think they aren't as I'm sure that, if they were, we'd know by now. Especially at the Thirds funeral.
Why fillers? Some1 tell me.
omfg! totally, fillers are awesome, my purpose in life was to watch those awesome filler! we should forget about the main story and just e-mail those people who make them and ask them to make more of those awesome filler episodes!
seriously, i really hate them with a burning passion and i'm pretty sure 90% of the people here hate them as well. so, i dunno, think this thread is pointless, yeah?
Whee! Thread merging is awesome!
And um....yeah, I'm officially on vacation from Naruto until it gets back to story that entertains me. I've thought about downloading all the fillers and watching them at once, but I just don't think it would be worth it.
you're pretty much doing yourself a favor by doing so.
OK so the last episodes I saw of Naruto were that stupid curry of life arc... if I now start watching Naruto again from (is it next week or the week after?) will I have missed anything?
Nothing significant.
The only filler that can actually be considered decent is the last one, the one where Naruto teamed up with Ino, Shino, and Anko have a mission to go to the Ocean Village to kill a demon. The animation was way better than every other filler we've seen and it was sort of cool how they tied in Orochimaru/Anko's past in with the mission. But...thats it. The animation went down on the episodes where that bad guy summoned the Sea Boss (but this summon was retarded) and Naruto went Kyubi for like a minute to fight that guy and summoned Gamabunta.
Every other filler was total bullshit. The Raiga arc was complete crap and the Bikochuu arc was a step up from Raiga but still sucked. I mean, a guy who cries for giving funerals yet he still kills people anyway? Wtf? Thankfully, things are going to get really awesome again in Naruto once these fillers are done for good.
