| because they are just episodes that are made while they wait for the manga artist to make more chapters |

| Because the guys at the studio suck at writing stories. |
 |
| Fillers aren't always bad, I usually enjoy them. |
 |
| Wait till they're over. |
| I almost gave up Bleach because of this shit. The 2 Bount arc seasons are just too fucking unbearable, but the opening made up for it. "Tonight Tonight Tonight" is a good song. |
 |
| Because nothing is ever good enough for manga purists and their standards. |
| I like filler episodes, they a nice chance to flesh out the characters a bit without needing to really impact the plot. |
| Watch anime without fillers and/or skip the fillers then :^) Problem solved There was this guy some time ago advertising this site http://www.fillerguide.com/ might be useful Filler episodes are bad because they are rushed, and with litle input from the original author i think |
 |
| Sounds like a personal problem. |

| Only show w/ fillers I liked at all was Reborn, just because they worked somewhat in the storyline (had continuity). Others I've seen just cut into the middle, really kind of jarring. They were sub-par in writing too. |
 |
| Fillers can actually be good by hyping up the main story of an anime if done right. Say in a shounen anime, the current arc is finally at an end and the main protagonist is about to fight the villain, a couple filler episodes can intensify the battle because it makes the viewers crave for it more by adding the wait time. |

| Bleach's were godawful |

| They don't have to....but they usually do. Main reason is most studios don't try to hard at filler for fear of screwing up the shows consistency or contradicting something the writer was going to do later. Thus filler is usually "low impact" where nothing much of importance to the actual storyline happens. |

Thus filler is usually "low impact" where nothing much of importance to the actual storyline happens. I hate the filler stories where they try to add some villain that has discovered a way to conquer/destroy the world, when you know in reality the true antagonists would tear them a new one 24/7 and would not sit idly as these fillerfags do as they please. |
|
| There's usually 1 good filler for every 30 stupid ones. An example of a good one would be Naruto ep. 102 (Kakashi's Mask). That episode is freaking legendary, and it was funny as hell. |
 |
| I'm lucky I guess. I don't think I've ever seen anything that had fillers. |
| If you generalize, you're wrong. |
| it sucks because no matter how long it is it has no impact in the main story |

lionheart04 said: it sucks because no matter how long it is it has no impact in the main story That sounds about right. It's very, very, very hard to make something interesting if we know it's all inconsequential. |
| If you generalize, you're wrong. |
| Because you people automatically assume the original is the best, that any differences between the adaptation and the original (filler included) are automatically shite. |

| Some fillers are good but those are hard to find. |

| Good question. If I were to guess its because their writers are crap if the show is based off many a but even then that seems unlikely. An example of perfect "fillers" would be mushishi and gits SAC, but they are both episodical shows which are pretty much entirely comprised of "fillers". When I say filler I mean an episode that in no way contributes to the direction of the plot, something completely off topic. Thanks for not posting a piece of shit question btw |

| Not all are bad. I've seen some absolutely fantastic fillers here and there. But yeah, most are not that good. It guess it comes down to the writers of those respective anime just not being as good as the original creator. |

| Echoing MrAM's argument, while there are some bad filler episodes (I particularly hated the Temacu episode of the Johto arc of Pokemon. God, that was a pain to sit through!), there are some very very good ones (Popolocrois Monogatari 1998 comes to mind). I particularly don't mind filler so much, just as long as it's not annoyed, and I only found a few filler episodes of some series that really made me cringe. |
| They don't, you just don't like them. |
 |
| Because they do, deal with it. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

| Because your taste. Also guys stop with the "why my opinion is this" threads please. |
| its not made by the mangaka! |
| Mangaka writing the filler doesn't mean much. Filler are usually used for long running series in which the canon may or may not be as bad as the filler itself. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Fillers are fine as long as they're interesting or provide character development. Fillers are bad when the studio isn't competent enough to make a coherent story arc. What pisses me off the most is when a half-season anime has time to put in three fillers. Then we have a filler-filled anime with a rushed plot. Seriously, you couldn't just pad it out a little? |

Asap_ said: Financial and quality wise if you consider the art, animation, and pacing as part of the quality. And what's expected from an anime is different from a manga. The people who watch anime are different from those who read manga, etc.That's just from a financial standpoint, though. Qualitywise, they'd probably manage, since the manga sustains its popularity with just what it presents, which is the main storyline in the anime. |

| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
