What is filler? (a must read)

Yedi · 11-02-2007, 10:37 PM

What is filler in the Naruto Anime? Well here is the answear, or almost the correct answear since i have not double checked it.

I am lousy at English so report anything which is not right and I will correct it as soon as possible.

Word from the creator:

Well actually I am just quite tired of those whom don’t know what is filler and what is not filler when they enter the manga section, so here you go with what is filler in the episode 1-135 ( the main Naruto story although it got some fillers in it and is show below).

Some episodes has mixed some chapters up and made me a bit confused but below here you found almost an “accurate” manga and anime comparing, notify me if you find something wrong.

Anime series

Filler can also refer to a term regarding some episodes of manga-based anime. Filler episodes are usually used to give the manga storyline time to get ahead of the anime story, as a single anime episode may use several chapters of manga as storyline material.

Anime fillers are met with many of the same criticisms as their television counterparts, as well as a few unique ones. Aside from the regular complaints, the fact that the series is based on a manga makes the possibility of plot contradictions all the more probable, since there is often little communication between the two groups. Moreover, in order to avoid such contradictions, the material of such filler episodes are even more limited than normal in that backstory or character development can't occur in order to avoid a clash with future, main-story-arc related material. Some series may even deviate entirely from the manga as a result. Also, long periods of filler can eventually lead to the cancellation of a series, which is the case with Rurouni Kenshin. Since manga artists tend to ignore any developments that occur in filler stories, fillers often further cement the division between the separate anime and manga continuities which may be quite similar without this content, which is most easily noticed in the Dragon Ball series.

The series Naruto from late May 2005 to early February 2007 was filler (with the exception of the occassional scene) only to allow its manga source to get ahead. This comprises one of the longest continuous and perhaps the most filler ever in any series with well over eighty episodes in a row. As opposed to Rurouni Kenshin which went in a completely different direction and became extremely unpopular with fans the Naruto filler didn't make the anime series go into a different direction than the Manga intended to go. It did give some more insight into other characters, such as Anko, Kiba, and Hinata, and it showed the development of Naruto's relations with some of his friends. This left fans in somewhat of a limbo waiting for the anime to resume its normal storyline.

I got the question: Did you do this all by yoursel?
Yes i did this all by myself and cheked up everything so it were correct, altough i might have missed something else it is simply made by me, "Wawemaster is a bit of a witness of it".

You actually took your time to do all of this. Wow. That is just amazing. I wouldn't even tried. Well, if I was motivated perhaps.

mosaklavi · 12-02-2007, 01:12 AM

Its quite an accomplishment, just kind of sad that it actually had to be done.

Haohmaru · 12-02-2007, 01:21 AM

Maybe just a little late but still very helpful for Naruto newbies. Sticky!

likoftw! · 12-02-2007, 07:59 AM

Kigga · 12-02-2007, 01:10 PM

thebladegod · 12-02-2007, 11:50 PM

I don't know if ill ever use this information but it is a terrific job.

San Goku · 12-02-2007, 11:57 PM

No more fillers, please. Why did you find this? jk's, good find, but a bit late.

S3nChain · 12-02-2007, 11:59 PM

i noticed after the mission they went back to the manga in the last "filler episode".

a filler cause its somewhat off-topic from the manga and makes the mangaka money to help pay his taxes for the next episodes. also it gives other animators time to finish future episodes. thats what students here believe

kishimoto pays alot of tax though. i feel sorry for the guy

I'm thinking about to continue this when the real Naruto begins again and write what is filler in it.

CapnDonkey · 13-02-2007, 05:49 PM

Really good work. I would definitely read updates if you decided to go through with it. It's cool to see how everything is done differently from one genre to another (manga to anime to english version etc..)

Great work.

Yedi · 17-02-2007, 08:28 PM

Yedi has seen trough episode 1 of shippuden and Yedi noticed this:

- Khonomarus cat chase dosn't excist in the manga

- Some scenese are on diffrent places, but Yedi thinks they are not that important to mention.

- Yedi noticed that the first part of the eisode is a big spoiler.

- Yedi noticed too that Naruto and Sakura was about to go on a date at the old same ramen place, Kakashi left in the last second to read trough the book.

- Tsunade or her coworker dosn't make apperance such as it is in the anime.

WaveMaster · 17-02-2007, 09:23 PM
