| Most of the fillers I've seen are usually pointless. Occasionally I see filler that actually works with the series rather than "What can we fill 30 minutes with?" |

| Fillers are the reason why we can't have nice things. Then again, it keeps the anime from catching up too fast with the manga. |
 |
| Bad. Is there any other option? Some series have managed to pull of alright fillers, like FMA, but as far as I remember those were based on actual gaiden chapters and not just magicked forth by the producers. If they don't feel pointless, and if they don't constitute the majority of a season, they don't have to be bad, but they usually are as far as I am concerned. |
| Fillers that are fun and somehow contribute to the over-all story are great. Fillers that have no purpose at all and especially those that introduce a filler-only/ 1 episode-only character are episodes where I only watch the first few minutes to see if anything happens. |

| After seeing Bleach a bit, i got sick and tired of the fillers.. I just dont like them since they possibly have no plot reference =.= |
     |
| Always a bad idea. I honestly don't understand why they can't just let the show take a break and wait for the manga to get ahead. |

Relenus said: Always a bad idea. I honestly don't understand why they can't just let the show take a break and wait for the manga to get ahead. Because an anime studio is given a budget by the network, they have to fulfill it. If they don't then the advertisers will drop and the network will lose money. |

| I actually don't mind fillers every once in a while, sometimes they can actual have pretty entertaining material. I just hate it when series go overboard with them! |
| I don't mind on the start but when they get too many i start to hate the fillers. |
 |
| Hate, is not a strong enough word for what i think about fillers. Personally i would prefer them just to take a break, and not ruin a good show. |

philipkira said: Plun said: Am I the only one who loves fillers? Yes, love. LOVE is a VERY STRONG word =] Hate is a strong word. I do love fillers. I always watch fillers even though they're boring cause the fillers are sometimes enjoyable and hilarious. (Naruto, Bleach, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, One Piece, etc) |
| I just avoid any series that will potentially have fillers. If it probably will and I still want to know the series, I'll read the manga. |
   |
| After dealing with Naruto's 95 episodes of filler, and Shippuden's uneeded 3rd season of filler.....I grew to get sick of it and drop Shippuden itself. Bottom Line: Fillers=Bad IMO |
Plun said: Am I the only one who loves fillers? Yes, love. Count me in. I even enjoy the ones that are made by all fillers, such as slice of life genres. Maybe I don't really care since I usually read manga version or read light novel or play the visual novel game of the animes I enjoy to watch. |
 |
| I don't like fillers, but then again in some series I do like them in animes like, Katekyo Hitman Reborn(Has my favorite fillers and are very funny),FMA,One Piece and at very few times Bleach. |

| They are just inevitable. Necessary to the producers and the general public just dig it alright. |

| As in everything, it depends. After all, I've watched whole seasons of fillers. Whole series of fillers. And they are still enjoyable. |

| I sometimes wish they would just end the season instead of making 12 straight episodes of filler before picking up on the actual story again. Fillers can be so pointless and dumb. You just want them to END (most of the time, there's a few exceptions as stated). |

| if the fillers are neccesary then put them in but do it like one piece does ( a few fillers here a few fillers there) rather than a whole season. Also if the fillers are funny then i have no problem, but when they try to make a who filler arc thats when i get upset. |

| In my book there are two, no three types of fillers" - A very good serie with one or two fillers that are mostly pretty funny: don't hate em - A good, long serie with interesting and action-packed fillers: don't hate em - A good, long serie with boring, repeating and irritating fillers: ...Die in a fire Examples of the last: naruot's fillers atm and the fillers when they were cooking ramen and such (that level)...I say: stop production for a few months then and give us both a break... - Lith. |
 |
| Good fillers (as in episodes that have little to no effect on the plot) are really, really rare. But they do exist. Example: Episode 8 of Paranoia Agent. Effect on plot: none. Relation to the story: minimal. But still, one of the creepiest episodes of anime ever produced. |

Plun said: Am I the only one who loves fillers? Yes, love. Me too. If the characters are interesting, who the heck needs a plot anyway. If the alternative is clichéd plot twists, I'll have filler please. |
| Are we talking series with an exciting plot that randomly stops for a filler episode, or series that aren't very plotty in the first place and are mostly filler? The first usually annoys me, but I enjoy the second. |
| Depends on what kind of filler it is, I welcome some filler if it changes things up while still entertaining me. Sometimes a change of pace is just what a show needs. The only kind of filler that's always bad are the flashback episodes... I fast forward through these. |
| "fillers are a good way to get to know the characters better". I read something like that once. And I agree with it. I don't mind fillers much. |
| Like a lot of people who commented I don't particularly hate fillers, so long as they are entertaining. The whole 'lets go to the beach/pool' filler is really getting old. |
| I'm torn. Sometimes I dislike them, so I just skip them. Done. I usually just read the summary of the filler episode and decide if I want to watch it or not. |
| They're bad because they indicate that the author or studio have run out of ideas. Fillers = Very big quality anime. This anime will soo be getting a 10 out of 10 for sure. |

| i personally like fillers, just not too many in any one anime. they are really funny. what is don't like is recap episodes! those are boring! |
| Some episodes of a filler can be good somewhat but for the most part there not so good. |
| It depends - so much. If the concept of the filler is nice and amusing then i like it but if it's just random nonsense I'm most likely meh-ing at it. I've never skipped a filler episode of anything I watch though.. X3 |

| I have no patience for filler episodes. A colossal waste of time if you ask me. |
 May the DESU be with you! Always! |
| Overall, I hate them. They have the potential to ruin a series if they do them for an extended period of time. I can deal with 2 or 3 between arcs but if you on a 20 plus run of pure fillers then that is a big problem. |
 |
| I don't mind them... depending on how long they are and all. When the fillers came up in Naruto, the first few were funny little episodes away from the story that I actually enjoyed, but after a while, I just couldn't watch it anymore. |

Anyway I don't mind fillers unless they go against canon somehow. Only exception to this is like Chopper's rumble ball from One Piece. They animated that him eating two rumble balls had no effect on him at all but it was different in the manga. It was because Oda hadn't gotten to that part yet and the animators didn't know he had that rule. |

Fillers can contribute to a story? Ash-Falls-Town said: I like filler episodes so much that I created a club for fillers. Yep I like fillers. Many of my favourite series are series with large amounts of filler and in many of the cases the filler is what drew me to the shows. Filler episodes are usually the funniest episodes of the show and often show off the personalities of the characters the best because often it's outside of the usual stresses the characters experience in plot episodes. You do realize those "personalities" don't count considering they are filler right? Mawootad said: Good fillers (as in episodes that have little to no effect on the plot) are really, really rare.

The anime is the source material. There is no such thing as filler in source material. |

| I hate fillers, there just to kill time in an anime. |
 |
| It depends on where they are placed in the anime, what they are about, for how long, etc. Most of the time I don't mind fillers, but in some cases *coughNARUTOcough* they cause me to lose interest. |

Then you definitely haven't read the manga. http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/315.01/01/ That was the start of it. |
| I think fillers (to a limited extent) are needed. Having nothing but continuous story arc only serves to make the series go by too fast, and the quick pace makes it hard to stay up. And occasional 'wind down' episode (e.g. beach episodes) are needed for (often comic) relief. That said, artificial inflating a series to hundreds of episodes, without regard to the overarching story line, is bad. |
