Since halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are in filler territory, they could do a special for each one w00t for corny holiday specials...

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?

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!!

(yeah I know there's no way in hell they'd do that...)

Yeah, they wouldn't do it for
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] )

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.

Thanksgiving on the other hand is a no-brainer.

Sorry, may I ask what is the difference between fillers eps and not fillers?

**el_boss** · Thu, 10-27-2005, 12:47 PM

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.

**2:25** · Sat, 10-29-2005, 08:41 PM

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.

***Deadfire*** · Sun, 10-30-2005, 12:19 AM

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.

**Naruto_Fan** · Mon, 10-31-2005, 11:08 AM

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:

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.
