Just saying, Yota should have been a new character not just for us but for the cast as well.. why do they have to know every character they run into!? It's so stupid...
They have to create something that is within context of the story line and that is relevant even though it is filler. That is what the studio has always tried to do with naruto, is transition of main material and filler material so it acts as though its part of the story, unlike bleach which basically cuts off the story arc and creates a completely original story arc that does not transition into the manga storyline. You get what im saying?
maybe thats way i like bleach fillers more :D
Yeah because their like their own original stories in away.

I didn't even finish Bleach due to fillers and bs that was going on.
Now Naruto is on the same path, into nowhere. Thanks God for manga, or I'd be long gone, and good riddance.
Naruto used to be great show, still sometimes is, but characters like this kid, almost more fillers than canon are really not helping its cause. But hey, I'm just one person in a sea of viewers.
What do I think of this episode? It was plain awful. Only my opinion. Some may like it and that's fine, I don't mind people enjoying it. But please, for the love of God, stop defending it by saying: "Well, bleach was worse". Yes, it was, but Naruto is coming pretty fast to try and overtake that title.
I normally wouldn't mind fillers THAT much (I don't like them, but I usually just skip them altogether) but what's about to come in canon story is so good it pisses me off to no end that they're introducing characters, bringing filler arc guys into more fillers and making new FLASHBACK filler arcs.
So InoShikaCho fought Tobi, fought Asuma, fought sound village trio(OK, only Shika here) and now will probably fight the kid, all in a matter of, what, 1 hour? They almost died fighting sound trio. I'm pretty sure they lost most of their chakra there. No, wait, I'm pretty sure they were mostly done after first big fight.
But hell, keep throwing new fights onto characters. Why not?
Not to mention, why would Kabuto even summon that kid? Or some of the other guys. I'm pretty sure other villages had their legendary heroes. Why not get more of them? If they wanted to make fillers with new characters, why make those characters ALL be related to Konoha village?
Remember that fire girl that was from another village, she got betrayed, killed in a canyon by her own allies. Can't remember her name, but that was a good episode and that had almost no main characters AT ALL. It was a good, short backstory, decent fights and great emotional conclusion.
So, my point being, fillers can be ok. Hell, they can even be great, but not like this. Stubbornly making every single filler character an old acquaintance of Konoha guys just makes it silly. Why didn't sound three appear in forest? Why didn't the old-glasses guy appear next to InoShikaCho?
TL;DR: Don't compare Naruto and Bleach, PLEASE! Fillers can be done OK, Naruto has proven that before, but those fillers nowadays just make me hate the show.
When i was drawing comparisons between bleach and naruto, i was not comparing the content, or the filler material in general, just the way its structured. Out of the big 3, thats really the only popular shonen series i knew to compare to the likes of naruto cause both of them are very different. I am just saying if naruto would of done their fillers like bleach, sure people would of hated the fact that the canon story cuts right off, but in the long run you can go back and pretty much skip all filler and watch pure canon and not have to worry bout canon arcs being obsessively padded out with unnecessary filler.
But of course for people that are currently watching the show, i would probably prefer naruto's format over bleach, cause i wouldn't want to wait months and months just to get back to canon again. |
