nvm didnt see last post but still how can u tell if its a filler
If the content in the episode was not content taken from the manga, then it is a filler. Huge plot differences is one example, or episodes where nothing plot related occurs.
An intressting point about fillers though, is that many of you wouldn't know they were showing fillers if the manga readers hadn't told you. You all would have just been commenting on how bad Naruto had gotten and possibly dropped the series, not having any hope for a good storyline to return.
Somehting i'm curious about is why is telling someone what didn't happen in the manga not considered a spoiler. Not that I want it to be, but to play Devil's Advocate, isn't the point of banning spoilers supposed to be to keep the anime separate from the manga. If that's the case then the term filler is meaningless, as the anime just has episodes the manga does't have. However would you all still care about Naruto after this much crap if you didn't know there was a manga and that the show wasn't following the manga anymore?
Well the only thing keeping a lot of people even interested in the show is the aspect that someday it will move back to the storyline and wholesome Naruto goodness can be experienced once again.
But at the same time I think that if there was no knowledge of what is and isn't actually storyline material then we wouldn't have been as disappointed with the filler as we are. We'd have just been like "What the hell happened to this show?".
I can safely say though, that if there was no knowledge of filler and storyline progression, and no manga to compensate for the lack thereof that I'd have dropped this show long ago.
I agree with Fing. If I didn't know about the fillers, I would have dropped Naruto a long time ago. I mean, it's been more than a year, and nothing critial has happened, at all. It's just been a ton of short stories. The only person who got a new ability was Hinata, and I don't know if she'll still have it come non-fillers.
What they should have done is introduced a new villan. Actually show progression through a story, rather than a ton of little short ones. I think that wouold have made it a bit more beleivable than what we got instead.
My greatest fear is still that the whole Rurouni Kenshin incident happens again (Rurouni Kenshin controversy wikipedia source) and we never get it animated, or they rush it to try to get to the exciting bits in a bid to win back fans...
At least no one is falling for the speculation that the Anime company haven't even acquired the licencing rights for part 2 yet...
Personally, I'm trying my hardest not to give up and go to the Manga after downloading Naruto manga Chapters 01-255 (Part one is upto chapter 237) and having it already there...
How long is everyone else gonna hold out for? Considering they did make a new OP as well...

Honestly, if OP wasn't new episodes right now, and all three series(Naruto, Bleach, One Piece) were in fillers at the same time, I'd have given up on anime all together by now.
Currently I'm not watching Naruto, because I don't want these horrible fillers to scramble my brains.. Instead I just rewatch the Chuunin exam arc etc. to remind me that Naruto was cool.. and I keep my hopes up knowing that the post-filler storyline has enormous potential and that people here say that it is really cool..
With Bleach and Naruto being raped by fillers I can luckily survive with One Piece and some other ('older') series.
Perfect timing. I'm glad to see Naruto going back to real episodes just as I'm getting out of college for the summer. Good stuff is ahead.

since they use a new OP, i can see 2 thing:
1- the filler will remain for 1 whole season( around 25 episode ) because it is almost alway like that when they do a new intro.
2- they will make a new Intro, but will keep the same song, that a bit more rare, but it is posible (i seriously hope for this one)
but if they do not stop the filler within 8 episode(2 month), i stop watching Naruto for ever, and start reading the manga instead.
Actually 2 isn't so rare. They've done it to almost every opening so far. All the way back to
Haruka Kanata changing to show Sakura cutting her hair off.
For what I've seen ot the new intro and ED it looks quite simple to change the 'sprites' to the older versions..since the characters aren't really interacting with the background..
But there is no clue at all when the fillers will stop, right?
And I don't want to START thinking about what'll happen when the next arc (not the filler) is finished.. since the manga isn't that far ahead by then..
there will be another filler arc.. lolOriginally Posted by Harima Kenji
Err... what are you talking about man?
So far up to ep 186 we will still have fillers. There has been no more episode titles revealed yet.
Well, even in that case it would at least be a little different, when things would have changed, people would be older, possibly new people in; allies and villains (though I don't know since I don't read the manga). So, the fillers would have a different starting point. If the fillers continue now for another season, then it will mean more of the exact same stuff we have been fed for the past year.
Somebody else will escape form ninja jail -- just to make the fillers even dumber.

Well to look at it this way Fillers started at 136 (seems like a long time ago) currently we are at 183 so
183 - 136 = 47
So we have had 47 eps of filler. now most seasons in Japan last for about 22-26 eps (I'm thinking it's 24-26 for this show however I have been wrong before) so that means to have 2 Full seasons of filler we have about 44-52 eps. If they are only doing 2 Seasons of fillers that means this last arc will (hopefully) be it. Although he have all known that these fillers defy logic, so don't take my word for it. I just want this to end so we can stop getting these stupid "when fillers will end" threads we seem to get every day
image fail!
Maybe Naruto the anime will just stay a complete deviation from the manga from now on like an OVA. Perhaps "filler" as we know it is just the alternate universe story so manga readers can have their graphic intensity and kids can have their...well shit. Two stories out of one series. Seems like good marketing to me, that way the obsessed fanboys have to get both when they come out!
Well, whatever...now that there are 6 year olds running around my neighborhood with konoha hachigane...I've lost interest.
Anime is too mainstream now, and as well all know, when too many people become involved in the making of something, quality is lost. Yeah, there's still some good stuff, but there has been three times as much smegma for each decent series.
Anime and manga have been mainstream on Japan for 20 years and they still make good things. I dont know how the quality can be affected because more people from other countries watch more anime now. Its true that those new countries make their own anime-like cartoons that are shit but thats another thing.
Yeah. While I'm guilty of it sometimes, myself, still I don't generally think something being appreciated by the larger audience makes it worse by necessity. I certainly didn't start to watch anime because few people over here do (far less than in the US).
And like Edort said, anime has been very popular in Japan for a long time. And I doubt they much care how popular it is, or is not, elsewhere (although they probably don't mind the extra money from licenses). They make anime for themselves. Just like Americans make all those live action TV series for themselves, and people elsewhere just happen to like some of them enough to also watch them.
