Anyone know how many episodes this anime supposed to end? i haven't score it yet..is it 26 episodes?

while I was watching live stream of episode 9 I saw some 'moving text' that said "26 episodes", and someone else also saw the same... so I hope it's true :)

Although it's still a little early for a filler or even a summary of what's happening so far, errmm I actually liked this episode more than the other episodes.. o_O
I love it that this episode symbolically tells us the story of what has happened so far with a fairytale and all that.. And what a funny episode, I laughed at almost all scenes.. XD

Wasn't filler.

Some people should just learn the meaning of filler and stop spouting it at every episode where the plot does not move.

What the fuck, the director of this episode was the same of Overrun's episode #7?
I quickly skipped 5-10-15-20.
Retarded filler, 1/5.

Okay the ending scene with Sakura and the scissors, with her trying to snip off the tongue of the pheasant was really disturbing.

Not bad, but this should have been an OVA or something, and not part of the main arc. Oh well, it wasn't too bad for a filler.

I agree with you. Personally, I think that it would've been better if this is shown after the series ended as a special or bonus episode. Those who prefer plot development should skip this one & watch it when you have nothing else to do.

OK, Dandere sensei. Can you teach us all the real meaning of filler? I want to learn from you. Because AFAIK, an episode is consider as a filler when

- it doesn't contribute much to the plot development
- it doesn't contribute much to the relationship development
- it doesn't contribute much to characters development

A filler is not necessarily have to be 1 episode long. It can be in the form of (repetitive) flashbacks (Naruto comes in mind -_-). If the episode serve no purpose in furthering the main plot & it only consists of some random stuffs & fanservices & as for 'pure' entertainment, then it is consider as a filler.

Now, KwMs! maybe a rom-com but it's not a 4-koma strips like Azumanga Daioh or Lucky Star. It has its own 'real' main plot & this episode has no connection with it. Some people may disagree that this is a filler because this episode is included in the manga as an omake. An omake means extra/bonus & in anime, it can be describe as 'special' episode. Depend on the content, a bonus can be meaningful or it can be pointless. If it's something that can be skip without affecting the storyline, then it's definitely a filler for me.

----

Anyway, I don't know why but I love it when Misaki dress up & look like a boy. *sigh* Misaki...why can't you be a guy? Why must you be a girl? *deep sigh*

Takumi as oni is soo predictable. I can sense it eversince the beginning. And I knew it that the girls were not being kidnap. Has anyone here ever eaten a dog or a monkey? How does it taste like? :P

Enjoyable episode overall. Random and there were some definite funny moments that had me laughing (although there were some jokes that fell flat on me). I think it would be funnier/more enjoyable if I was actually more familiar with the original Momotarou story, but oh well, what can you do?

I kept comparing it to the Alice in Wonderland parody in Ouran High School Host Club, though, and I have to say I like the Ouran episode better. This episode felt like a disguised re-cap episode, whereas the Ouran episode had some meaning to it. If there was a meaning in this episode, then I missed it.

Filler is essentially anime-only material inserted into the series for the sake of extending it, either to add more to the story arc to fill the necessary episode time or to avoid having the anime overtake the original manga.

The problem with the parameters you described is that filler can have character development and plot, as well. I'm thinking back to the first Bleach filler arc (the Bount arc), in which there was character and plot development (even if it was badly done). Then you can have other anime that have episodes that are part of the continuity but, due to their nature, may have little to no character/plot development in an episode (think Azumanga Daioh or this season's Working); yet, those episodes are not considered filler.

What a lousy beginning... I was disappointed when the San Baka came and save the day *chank chaka chan!* XD Really if it weren't for them and Usui the Oni by the end then it wouldn't be awesome. I do agree it had its funny moments like the ending of wach Baka guy or Usui suddenly pulling out the Bazooka of his cape, Yukimura being an Old man or even Aoi-chan being the rehashed Turtle and later thrown back to the see 'cause he wasn't the same.

But you know something? I found Usui extremely cool and sexy this time! Man I'm sure tons of fangirls died over Usui-Oni... and the fanboys died over the Maid Harem just as the San Baka did hahahaha... I liked Misaki too... she was so...manly as always... man she has to relax and be more girly... Oh well I hope I see that one of these days... But she looked really cool with that ragged Oni Maid custome and looked cute blushing to Usui's words... Man her blushing matched the dress color hahaha... and... OHHHH SUBARU! Why you still wear long skirts... I wanna see our legs!

This ep is comparable to Mayoi Neko Overrun ep 7, except that this is a bit more random, parody to Chinese folk tales and confusing.

Actually each folk tales symbolize(summarize) the previous episode(1 to 8) that we watched....
Even If you don't know Japanese Folk lore,you can still barely somehow connect to the previous episode ^^
( because my brain doesn't has a good memory,so this episode is quite refreshing for me )

It literally took me a week to find the proper amount of boredom to finally watch this episode, and even then I had to stretch it over the span of two days. God what a terrible 23 minutes. If I was a die-hard fan of the manga, I probably would've enjoyed it... but I'm not. .-.
