Filler episode has a bad reputation in the anime community. It can ruin the anime like Bleach and Naruto. But, are there any filler episode that you considered good?

Real talk: the filler episodes from Inuyasha where they come to the present time are the definition of pointless filler, but godammit I had fun with them and they're still the episodes I remember the most fondly to this day.

I actually consider a lot of naruto filler to be good, and almost all bleach filler to be good.

In the case of naruto the filler that was just flashbacks were shit, but there was some anime original story filler that was awesome. I believe Lee vs Shira was filler, and that was awesome.

In ththe case of bleach instead of random filler episodes they made entire filler arcs and most of them were solid imo.
Lolicons are scum.
BABYMETAL is more metal than Metallica.
Naruto is objectively the best anime ever.
HxH 99' is decent. HxH 11' is bad.

Remember that Naruto filler where he pissed on Ino? I don't think it's the best, I just want you to remember it.

The filler when Team 7 tried to uncover Kakashi's real face

A lot events in the Moribito anime were filler that was not in the novel and it was freaking' fantastic stuff that you wouldn't even guess it wasn't part of the novel since it fit in so well and worked to develop the characters greatly.

Episode 19 of Romeo no Aoi Sora. Very heartwarming and well written.

Some other good ones were the gambling and the blacksmith filler of Moribito.

Episode 7 of Classroom of the Elite is one of the only times I can remember not being angered by a filler.

This. I hated that filler as a kid, but as an adult I love the hell out of it. It's just such a silly idea

I have not seen many shows with filler, the only ones are probably Naruto and a bit of Dragon Ball. But there was a filler episode in Shippuden where they showed Shikamaru going through the stages of grief over
and the tone and music were just done so well the convey the pure sadness and loneliness of it, and it just ends with this almost horrifying screaming and sobbing from Shikamaru behind a door. I found out quite awhile later that it wasn't in the manga and in fact a filler episode.

This is the second time today I’ve found out something I thought was cannon in shippuden was actually filler.

People miss out on so much good stuff using those filler guides :3

The greatest filler episode of all time is the one in Fairy Tail 2014 where there was the zombie Ichiya's. Anybody who thinks otherwise simply hasn't seen the episode.

Remain one of the best Naruto filler.

HxH 99 really has the best filler of all time. I like several small filler like when Killua tried to kill the injured bird and he argues with Gon & Mito, and when Pakunoda pass a group of cats who represent phantom troupe. Those are really beautiful and touching.
