Offical Countdown to the end of fillers!

[Animeniax]

B*tch b*tch whine moan. Wow you kids like to complain a lot about the quality of free stuff.

I'm pretty new to the world of Naruto, but I appreciate every episode and half-hour of entertainment that I've gotten from Naruto for the past few months, and all for FREE. Do you people think it's easy to make anime? All of this complaining about "fillers" is disgusting and pathetic. These "fillers" give us a look at other characters and situations that you wouldn't get in a normal story arc. They are a good way to lighten the mood between some dark and troubling storylines. Or would you rather have them go from fighting one super villain to the next without any breaks in between?

Yes I agree the quality of the "fillers" could be better, but all of this whining is just unbearable. Appreciate Naruto for what it's given us, and quit being such a bunch of babies.

Do you honestly believe that we care about what Mr. "HAY I JUST REGISTRED 2 TEL U ALL WAT I THINK ABOUT THIS CUZ MY OPINION IZ SO MUCH BETTR THAN URS" #8142842, i.e you, think?

[masamuneehs]

... i actually liked that new guy's post...

No, obviously I've seen too many people's loudly voiced opinions on Naruto, fillers and general, to really care what some stranger has to say... but I've often felt a similiar reaction to "0h go$h plzz make f1lerrs stop!1" posts. Critiscizing certain aspects, saying where you think they can improve, that's one thing. Bitching for the sake of blowing off hot air on the other...

People, by nature, take for granted what they have. However, what we've had recently with Naruto is a steaming pile and apparently half-assed attempts at this so called 'insight into characters' (everything we've seen more of in fillers has basically been established beforehand) So I suppose I both understand what the new kid has to say and still retain my firm disdain for the majority of the fillers.

new guy could have used some more tact...

edit - obviously my opinion, as long-winded and diplomaticaly worded as it is, is just another log on the flames and I would just like to thank whoever actually takes the time to read and consider what I often write. while it is just the opinion of one person I do put thought and effort into it to communicate as best I can and maybe stir some thought and conversation in others. Sometimes though I feel like an orator, more so than any one member of a forum should have the right to be.

Yeah, pretty much.

[Darth Arrow]

When is the damn 3rd Naruto Movie showing? after ep 200?

Premiere date in Japan is 5th of August so you can count from there.

These "fillers" give us a look at other characters and situations that you wouldn't get in a normal story arc.

Any halfway decent anime should already have covered all you need to know about the side characters. Anything else is just someone else's (as in, someone besides the original author's) take on the series, which in a lot of cases, is either wrong, or executed very poorly. A fanfic with a high budget, if you will. At any rate, most of the filler hasn't been about side characters. It's been about Naruto. Using the Rasengan and farting. Over. And over.

They are a good way to lighten the mood between some dark and troubling storylines. Or would you rather have them go from fighting one super villain to the next without any breaks in between?

What you just described is acceptable filler material. A short break in between canon material to buy a small amount of time and offer a light-hearted episode to fill that time. That's not what this filler is, however. You know it. In fact, most of the filler thusfar has been as you say: seeing them "go from fighting one super villain to the next". I actually enjoy the shorter filler arcs (like the Kakashi mask one, or the one about the Lee/Gai impersonators) every once in a while. But we've been putting up with crap like the Baka Brothers, Raiga, and the Hoshikage for over a year now. That gives us few options:

1. To stop watching (as I and many others have)
2. To continue watching the filler, keeping a critical opinion of what you are watching (as any intelligent anime viewer might).
3. Watch bad filler and accept it just because it's "Naruto". I personally find that to be a far less mature way of going about this situation. However, it's probably not as bad as 4. To bitch, moan, and yell "OMG FILLERZ SUCK". So I agree with you in that respect, I think. Just don't tell us to sit back and accept the scraps we're thrown.

I'm pretty anxious to see what happens after the time-jump, not to watch Naruto pander to kiddies who will gobble up every retarded episode they get.

[RyougaZell]

I wouldn't mind this fillers if they didn't have Naruto in every damn episode doing his Sakura-cosplay -> "Sasuke-kun where are you!!"

LOL

Darth Arrow:
Hmmm....
Ep 191 begins in June... until August 5th is about... 9 weeks... lol... yes... Ep 200.

XanBcoo:
I've readed better fanfics, hehe.

[Darth Arrow]

Hmmm.... Ep 191 begins in June... until August 5th is about... 9 weeks... lol... yes... Ep 200.

Well, new season should begin somewhere around ep 208 (at least if you count season as 26 eps as usual) so let's hope they get back with the storyline no later than then. (and I hope AonE catches up with the show during the summer )

[RyougaZell]

Didn't the season start at ep 178 based on the new opening?

[Darth Arrow]

Didn't the season start at ep 178 based on the new opening?

Well, in that case the next season should begin at ep 204 (again assuming that the season is 26 eps long), I've been waiting for AonE's subs so I don't know if the opening has changed.

I agree its annoying to always read people bitching about "OMFG FILLERS ARE TEH SUXORZ!" when they can just stop watching (thats what I did). I personally would rather have them stop the show for a while than show something shitty that will ruin the series. I think what they're throwing at us is infact worse than nothing. And anything we learn about the characters is not from Kishimoto, so we're not really learning anything about their TRUE character. But I do agree its annoying at this point to here people whine and complain just to let out the anger. There are other animes to fill our time with and we can just spend time on them instead (e.g. OnePiece).What I am a little cranky about is that I haven't seen a decent ep. of Naruto in a year and there's still going to be a couple of months before I do.

[DB_Hunter]

I'm pretty sure this is in the forums somewhere but can anyone suggest a good torrent site? I started watching Bleach instead of Naruto but since that has hit fillers as well need to move on. Oh yea, and with the torrent site a list of good anime's to watch would be nice.

[Terracosmo]

I agree its annoying to always read people bitching about "OMFG FILLERS ARE TEH SUXORZ!" when they can just stop watching (thats what I did).

So you are saying that just because we watch it, we can't bitch about it's suckiness?

What do you guys want us to do, pretend we like it?

Because apparently it isn't annoying to read praise..?

[Edort4]

I cant stand people that bitches and complains about people that bitch and whine about fillers. We could be going on forever like this...

You dont have to pay a shit to argue about something, criticize it or even whine. Did you pay to criticize the criticizes of this forum users?

Most of the people here whine and bitch about these fillers because they like the real naruto show. This last year wasnt the real naruto, it made a downfall in the series quality. If its something we like its just common sense to be mad seeing how they're butchering the series. Some other people just ate all the shit thats given to them and say: oh its naruto! it must be good whatever it is...

So if I have to choose between the bitching babies (with arguments) or the "naruto" fanatics I chose to bitch as long as this crap fillers are made.

Have a nice day

DB_hunter: I usually use animesuki page to get all my torrents if it hasnt been licensed.

My point is, if you dont like it, dont watch it. Unless you can make a laugh out of it (which I know you've done). But otherwise, why would you watch it if you think it sucks so much.

[Terracosmo]

Hell if I know why people watch it, I do because I love the series at it's core and because I have nothing better to do. Nontheless I am going to bitch until the world ends if I feel the episodes deserve it.

I don't know what people complaining about complainers are hoping to accomplish. They are not only hypocrites, they are also incapable of realizing how hilarious it looks since a new person just like them posts every month, and their words don't change shit.

[DB_Hunter]

Cheers Edort... I don't what it is but I had forgotten about that site I used to visit like 10 times a day last year. Also I remebered about box torrents as well.

[DarthEnderX]

Terra hit the nail on the head. The only thing more annoying than people bitching about how crappy fillers are, is the people bitching about those people. Who, congrats btw, have managed to fill the entire last page.

I agree its annoying to always read people bitching about "OMFG FILLERS ARE TEH SUXORZ!" when they can just stop watching (thats what I did).

I can't begin to fathom the type of psyche that doesn't watch the a show anymore, but continues to read individual episode discussion threads about that show.

And then complains because people are giving their opinions on the quality of the episode. It's a discussion thread, people are supposed to say what they thought of the episode. If it sucked, they should damn well say it sucked. People bitching about the crappiness of the fillers isn't whats getting old, it's the crappiness of the fillers that's long since gotten old.

[saman]

so, erm, 16 filler weeks left? did i miss something, or is db just being presumptuous again?

[Naruto_Fan]

i would think that DB is jokin around again like they usually do...

remember like infinity weeks remaining, e^99999 weeks remaining, etc..?

basically, the answer is that no one knows for sure. but we're all gettin a feeling that it'll definitly end within an 1~3 more epi because summer starts really soon and in that oh so famous interview, they hinted at naruto "grown up part" (i.e. part 2) starting at the end of spring (i.e. beginning of summer).

also, we dont even know if ____ gaiden will be put into it. if they do plan on doing it, then next week or the week (....6/7 or 6/14) has to be the last epi for filler so they can at least start _____ gaiden on 6/21 (i.e. summer officially begins). _____ gaiden will probably last 2 epi (i.e. cover 3 chapters per epi) and then they'll hopefully move on to the part 2 episodes...

BUT

then again, this is what i'm assuming based on feelings, the interview, and the fact that summer officially begins on 6/21...

Referencing the gaiden is a spoiler. Since this was established at least half a year ago and people are still doing it, I'm going to start increasing the warn % of each occurence.
