    Fillers getting better??

    I was wondering what you guys think about this...

    While I was watching the new Naruto eps, I was like "Hey, this is not that bad".

    Now is it that the fillers and the writers are getting better, maybe they are listening to the comments about how the fillers suck( because im sure if we hate the fillers, so do they over there), or are we just becoming acustomed to these stories. I would like to think myself that they are actually getting better, using cooler chracters, more interesting villans, new ways to use moves.

    It seems like the anime team is actually trying. And I also wonder, kinda on another subject, do you think that they try not to make the filler characters better than the original cast on purpose? Maybe they dont want a huge following on them, or for them to take away the thunder of the main cast.

    comments?

    There is a reason they are labeled "fillers". They arnt getting better we are just getting use to them.

    I just watched episode 132,133 an hour ago and these two episodes were better than all of the fillers put together.

    That's also a bit unfair. Sure the fillers suck (I have not seen the last two fillers arcs), but you just compared them to one of those most visually entertaining and stimulating episodes in the series. 133 is gold. Pure platinum.

    I haven't seen this Team Gai filler arc, but I'm sure I'll enjoy the intro episode, which is bound to be horrendous, much more than I did episode 32.

    The fillers are most likely not getting better, though. You're just enjoying them more since you're secretly a massive Rock Lee and Neji fan, like I. So, anything involving them becomes pleasant and enjoyable to watch - as opposed to watching Iruka and uber Mizuki bounce around, fighting with kunai.

    Damm. I a have been caught. I like Lee as much as Naruto and Neji. In my opinion he is most under ratted character. My heart went out to him when he was crippled by Gara and to hear the news that he wouldnt be able to fight again. We all have a Lee inside us who wants to show others that we can succeed if we try hard enough.

    As for the fillers because you havent seen them thats why I will excuse you. Take my advice and put a bucket near you when you want to watch the filler in case you might want to puke in it.

    That bad, 'eh?

    But, c'mon .. the latest one has Team Gai in it! It can't be so bad, where it'd induce vomitting .. right? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

    It has Naruto too. I just cant hear him say these lines again and again.

    "I will bring back Sasuk"
    "I wont forgive you"
    "I will kick your ass"
    "Oritebayo" and it ends with
    "Rasengan".

    Man, you exaggerated so much with the fillers.

    Okay, the Sasame-chan and Field Country mission filler was bad, and GOOD GOD did it only get eight million times worse with the "Return of Mizuki."

    But, the Kurenai Team filler was golden, in comparison. And, I actually enjoyed it. Shino was hilarious, and great to watch. I was glad he was given some time to shine, and Hinata proved her worth - unlike some females. *cough*Sakura*cough*

    Plus, that second episode had me CRACKING up! When Shino was like, "Okay. Here is a picture of the insect we are searching for .." And, Naruto responds, while his eyes narrow as the flashback settles, ".. I've seen that before. I had no idea it was so rare. It was while I was eating my ramen, and one snuck out from under my food, and then there were swarms of them." And, the rest of them were looking at him like the biggest idiot. I was crying. If this filler arc was this decent, I'm actually looking forward to the Team Gai filler.

    They ARE getting better. Thankfully.

    I agree. I think they are getting progressively better - with the Stupid Bros. arc being the exception (but I never even bothered to watch the Rice country arc).

    There were things I didn't like about the team 8 filler though - namely Hinata's goofy jutsu, and the villians.

    And as I said in the most recent episode discussion, I didn't like Lee's fighting while unconcious, 'cause it makes a complete mockery of his fight against Gaara. He's becoming a gimmick.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    fillers are alright, but they just went over the line, but then again i guess they're trying to fill up the time between then and two years later.

    The team Gai filler would be alot better if they didn't manage to work finding sasuke into a completly irrelevant story arc.

    Yes.

    Fillers can't exceed the actual work of the creators. That'd be a form of disrespect.

    That doesn't mean the fillers have to be absolute trash, as the majority of them have been, though. And, that is what I don't understand.

    I'm going to say that the after the "Return of Mizuki" garbage with the Fat-Stupid Brothers the fillers only had one place to go....up...

    Recent ones have been better, though I didn't much like the search for the Super-Tracking Bug, even though it was good to see more Kiba and crew.

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    You're right about that one. After making Mizuki the star villain, and bullshitting their way into drawing a connection between him and Orochimaru, there was only one direction the fillers could have gone .. and that was up.

    I have not seen the most recent filler, with Team Gai .. but, I shall this weekend. I have them downloaded, I just have not dedicated any time to anime watching.

    Kurenai's Team arc wasn't that bad. At least, I did not think so. Hinata's own original technique was quite weird, and could have been better. But, you have to remember it's Hinata. She wasn't taught anything, since the Head Household considers her extremely weak and a waste of talent. So, I thought it was cute for her to define herself with her own training, and the ability to come up with her own move - which was something similiar to Kaiten (as it was described as an 'Ultimate Defense') and 64 Hands of Hakke, for the obvious reasons of her utilizing her hands to create that impenetrable barrier around her.

    Goofy, and sub-par to true Hyuuga, but still enjoyable to see. And, I like how we were shown some of her past training. She took a great deal of those Gatsuuga's. Ouch. And, during all that time, I don't recall Sakura doing shit except picking flowers and whining about Sasuke. So, Hinata definitely rose a few nothces in my book.

    Shino also owns. So, again .. I was happy for him to get some minutes of fame.

    Field Country Filler = Donkey Doo
    Mizuki &amp; Baka Bros. Filler = Purebred, stir-fried shit
    Bikouchuu Filler = Crap
    Team Gai Filler = .. 'eh, still haven't seen it.

    But, crap is more welcomed than anything relating to Mizuki or Fuujin &amp; Raijin, so lighten up. How much more filler can they really come up? The Kakashi Gaiden's coming soon ..

    I just watched ep 155. Anyone who thinks that fillers are getting better is a fool. This arc sucked big time.

    I am so annoyed at these filler writers and animaters. Are they part-timers or what? I am sure they get big bucks to write and animate these fillers then why cant they come up with better story line.
