Some series have filler that outshines the main storyline, too. Slayers is a partial example; a lot of the macguffin searching episodes were more entertaining than seeing yet another demon or crazy sorcerer wanting Ultimate Power.

I finished rewatching Godannar 2nd time through. Goddamnit is that an amazing little show.

I got to the OP in Daibanchou finally.  It's turn into quite the ridiculous game and I like it.

SO BISHOUNEN


BUT... I CAN'T STOP... TALKING LIKE THIS...


Card games.

I also finished the first three chapters of Inganock.  It's...certainly something.  It's quite relaxing though.

Except for the constant gold spiral staircase TICK-TOCK TICK-TOCK TICK-TOCK and the screaming mad man prince scenes.

Madoka is at least 4,696 times better!  Set your expectations as high as possibility so you can't possibly get disappointed.

I guess the new theory going around is that I am Nyarlathotep given my inherant ability to drive even the level headed Toonyman insane.

The large eyes are directly based on Disney.  It's more the shape and style.

Why the hate on Filler episodes? They're necessary. 

I don't think so.  They're really annoyingly common, but some series go without.

The seres that dont have filler episodes, often are deviated form the magna, or dont have one to follow. EG an anime only show. The few exceptions are anime series based on magna, rather late in their life, or are completed.

I'm thinking more just... short series that have a plot and then end.  Generally adaptations of something that's already finished.  These series have no need at all for filler (and are the kind I prefer anyway... I guess Detective Conan is the big exception, but that's episodic murder mysteries at its core anyway).

Incidentally I've been watching Katanagatari and... well, it's definitely something.  Different enough to the stuff I've watched in the past to keep me interested, but there are a whole bunch of flaws (main ones: disappointing fight conclusions, Togame having horrible generic tsundere software, somewhat formulaic structure) that keep me from saying it's great or anything.  Episode 4 was amazing though, and hopefully the last 4 episodes under the new Ali Project OP will be good too.

Yeah honestly some series has filler even better then the main story (Even outside anime... X-files was like this).

But really boring filler in a series that has a lot of it can really bog the experience down. It can make even the most exciting parts of the series seem boring in memory simply because you will recall the 10 filler episodes that came after it that were about sitting around doing nothing.

[Leafsnail]

Oh right and after watching another 2 Katana episodes I'd like to renew my objection to the terrible tsunderism virus.  When you compare Togame in episodes 9 and 10 the results are ridiculous why do you have to turn a character into a horrible childish cliché when you are clearly capable of writing them properly

Yea, but that not the fault of it being filler though, thats the fault of the production studio, and we dont know what constrains they have to work under to produce the filler episodes.

Plus some magna, have their own filler, like Bleach does. Fucking bleach. Fuck you Tite.

No of course not... but if the main plot and filler is bad you don't care... you just move on

If the show is great but the filler is terrible... PAIN!

[sonerohi]

So.. Deadman Wonderland. It is just sort of weird. But I can't stop watching. It appeals to everything: Just everything.
