However, none of the filler titles that have come out so far even remotely hint at a de-fillerising of Naruto..
I'll still keep my hopes up for next season.. and then cross my fingers and pray that they won't screw the story up even more ^.^

You really cant go by anything they say ether from what they have said in meeting or what they say at the end of each episode. Correct me if im wrong but they first said fillers will end in may and isnt it june. Till they actually say this is the absolute last filler and the preview for the next show is actually about the main story do not bring your hopes up. Anyway the 16weeks is the best we got atm so if you really need something to get you going then look at that for hope cause if again im not mistaken that will almost mark another 26episodes since they changed the intro and end maybe that will be the new ones and thus the begining of the real story again. If you like i do dont really think this is the truth just forget about complaining and ride it out like the rest of us got to we are all in this together if you like it or not.
Are you talking about me? I've only posted in one-to-two individual episode topics since the fillers began. And I wasnt saying people cant express what they think about the episode, just that its annoying when you see a post and all it has is something along the lines of "O2MFG Tis EpiSOde SUCKED!"Originally Posted by DarthEnder
Since the fillers have been on for quite a long time, I just look forward to good funny fillers. Something really stupid but you can get a good laugh out of it. Like the filler with the postman ninja, or the chef ninja. I find myself watching those over and over again. For me the frustration of waiting for it to end, has passed. Though I do know when ever it starts up again, it will be something so good, that maybe it will be worth the wait.
What if that's what they think about the episode though? Especially when you take out the l33tspeak which I don't remember anyone actually using. If they think "This episode sucked!" then thats what I expect them to say.
I'm with you. Some of the fillers are forgettable but there are some that are well worth watching, and that's partly my point. We're getting all of this free entertainment and people are bad mouthing it because it doesn't meet their "standards". I remember watching episode 158 subbed by DB and these clever folk write at the end of the start theme, "Nothing happens in this episode worth seeing. We're sorry". But this is one of the funnier episodes I'd seen in a while and had lots of great moments to add to the Naruto story. Sure I'd like to see them get back to the main storyline too, but I'm not going to whine and complain about these episodes because they add their own contribution to make watching Naruto as enjoyable as it is.
I read your replies to my first post and here's an answer to the main points:
So who's worse, the complainer, someone who complains about complainers, or someone who complains about someone else who complained about complainers? Its a vicious cycle really.
Who came up with the ridiculous term "filler" anyway? I guess it's something that happens to any anime series that strays from the main storyline, but it's sad to see people stop supporting a great series just because it's hit hard times. Stick with the show and the good times can return. If you stop supporting the show, they definitely never will.
There's nothing ridiculous about the term. It's an exact word describing how these episodes fill the void between the end of the manga based main story and the beginning of the next stretch of the main story.
Lemme ask you, what the hell does it add to the Naruto story to watch 25minutes of Naruto getting lost in the storm with the kiddies or throwing shit over two "imposers"? I too admit that I've had a few good laughs to these ep's, but that's more because they are so.. crappy! Not that they would really be funny. But then, people have different opinions in what's funny and what's not, my younger brother seems to laugh at the filler jokes too, though I'm mostly annoyed by them.
I'm not sure if u meant this, but what I think you're saying is that filler's never end if people just abandon the series? Well, I'm sure that the makers of Naruto anime don't give a shit (and probably don't even know about) how many people watch FANSUBBED Naruto ep's. Even if everyone stopped watching Naruto fansubs till the fillers end, that wouldn't change a thing. It's the Japanese audience they're worried about, and I'm sure show has lost many fans just because fillers are mostly crap.
I agree with you in that it's starting to get ridiculous when people just whine about the "quality" of filler ep's. Like, come on! Fillers have continued, what, like six months now! It shouldn't be suprise to anyone anymore that they're quality is pretty low. I think it's pretty stupid to go to make a post only to say that "this filler ep really sucked" when most of them do and it's no news anymore!
actually, it's been over a year considering that the filler epi started in early may around epi 135 i believe. it's now early june so it's been about a year and a week or so since fillers started.
it's true and understandable that the anime studio doesnt really care about the fansub groups nor do they care about the many people around the world who watch the fansubbed episodes because studio pierrot most likely is interested in how the japanese people (in japan) react to each epi. with such super low quality epi where the characters in the series lookin like such fools and downgraded their skills, and the high chance that a big chunk of the japanese audience in japan who probably just gave up on naruto~
i'm sure that they realize how bad the show is right now and that if fillers continue, eventually the show will have to be cancelled.
they don't ever want that, especially with a series that is popular all over the world. i'm sure they realize the potential amount of profits they can gain if they stop with the fillers (soon) and give us good epis.
i dont know if u guys realize this, but maybe they're doing fillers to increase the # of dvd's in the series. i mean eventually, they're gonna release em all on dvd's. that's alot of money that they'd be pretty much stealing from us..
basically, i would have to assume that the fillers should be ending on the 14th or 21st because 6/21 officially is the beginning of the summer. and they did talk about the grown up naruto thing bein in anime form at the end of the spring/beginning of the summer so...yea
if they keep on doin fillers, then we'd have:
a. billions or even trillions of angry naruto fans (as if the naruto anime watchers aren't upset as it with with soo many fillers)
b. evidence that they lied
Welcome to Gotwoot, where we bitch about every little thing.
Not from us, we get it free.
Maybe they just want to have the manga be way far ahead, since there is a natural break in the story. Does anyone know what chapter the manga was on when the anime originally started? That might give us a hint.
The anime started in October 03 of 2002, by that time the manga was around chapter 120 as Volume 14 was released on November 01 of 2002. Volume 14 consisted of chapters 118 to 126. Just as a note; the story ended with episode 135 which correlates with chapter 236 in the manga. The manga is 70 chapters ahead of the anime at this point.

What about the people who bitch about people who bitch about the people who bitch about fillers?
Thanks. Currently, the manga is at 309. If they want to be approx 120 chapters ahead, it would be 236 + 120 = 356.
If we are currently at 309, then we have 356-309 = 47 chapters to catch up to.
That would fit the hypothesis for another year of fillers.
Again, this is pure speculation.

i for one (including pretty much everyone else here) definitely dred at the possibility that the fillers aren't going to end any time soon (specifically by the time the summer begins which is one 6/21)...
If we take into consideration the fact that this last chapters are even shorter (15 pages). The difference in chapters may be the same if we have another year of fillers. But the real content difference would be much shorter (20% shorter 4 pages less per chapter).
If they dont do the filler year now in 6 months or less they would catch up with the manga. Japanase tv dont seem to understand the "seasons" meaning so we have 2 choices. Full stop of new episodes release (maybe starting the series from the beging again) or another filler age. Making fillers so close to the real plot is much riskier (and difficult) than doing them now. And because I cant imagine Kishimoto working more (making again 19 pages per chapter) and making less breaks I guess that we will have to suffer another year of fillers.
The only solution that I see is to start making seasons or maybe airing 1 chapter per 2 weeks. But they dont seem to like this ideas they prefer the continuos airing of bad filler crap.
Im very negative about kakashi gaiden starting in june.
I thought the following from the episode were hilarious:
-Naruto being insubordinate to the Hokage
-The 5th mocking Naruto about becoming Hokage dattebayo
-Neji and Chouji show their teams some useful tricks, Naruto takes his team to the grocery store then gets them lost
-Each of the members of Naruto's team tries to take the lead, but end up at the same starting point
-Naruto tries the sexy technique and gets clobbered by Iruka
-the kids try the booby technique and Naruto mocks the "as expected from my student" concept
-Naruto is walking up the mountain and the kids are crawling along, then they switch to the correct camera angle and show Naruto using chakra control
It was a good light-hearted episode and definitely had something "worth seeing".
I have lost almost total intrest in this sereis all together. Until the fillers stop I quit, game over. I'm done with Naruto the anime.
I don't think you quite got my point there. You talked about fillers adding something to the story of Naruto, and that was the thing I criticized, because in my opinion, they don't add anything to the story. I can understand that you can laugh at these episodes, because peoples sense of humour differs greatly from each other (I'm into more "intelligent" humour, and thus don't like the Naruto fillers style of humour, but I understand some people do). It's good for you if you actually can get fun out of these episodes. That just means that you aren't so dissapointed with the fillers as I am.
Anyone who says that Naruto fillers add something to the story of Naruto should be shot on the spot.I don't think you quite got my point there. You talked about fillers adding something to the story of Naruto, and that was the thing I criticized, because in my opinion, they don't add anything to the story.
the filler don't add anything to the story.
so how much filler work are remaining? probably when school start again...
ps.. WOOO 666 post! im the devil! lol too bad i didn't made it 24 min ago, it would have happen the 06/06/06 heh
