I'll agree that it's annoying, but if they are getting to close to where the manga is I guess they have to do something...

And at least most of the fillers for Bleach are better than the fillers for Naruto...

(And I did laugh at that recent beach episode. That was just pure crack. XD)

[dbzmerciter2005.livejournal.com]

Well I think that any filler is stupid, so I'm with ya OP!

[andromeda-2.livejournal.com]

Someone hasn't taken their medication yet...>___>

I don't watch the anime fillers at all. I just stick to the manga. Especially considering the Quality Animation they have in the fillers...

[mekkio.livejournal.com]

But they have to do those filler arcs to give time for the manga to spew out a new storyline so they can animate that.

What anime needs is to take a page from its Western counterpart and have a break between seasons. One long continuous show, not counting breaks for holidays, can make any anime drag on from time to time. Plus, it would give the animators a chance to make smoother animation for their TV shows. Sometimes, watching the shows, I feel 75% of the animation is just lips flapping. Sometimes it's not even that.

It reminds me of this video;

[kuromitsu.livejournal.com]

Taking breaks would be the logical choice, but they can't do that. Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, etc. are all shows targeted at a young audience with short attention span. Take a half-year long break and during that time the audience will get bored of waiting, find something else and latch onto it. Loss of viewership = Not Good. Loss of interest = even worse. So they need to keep the show on air.

Not to mention the logistics issues these breaks would raise for the producers, the animation studio and the mangaka themselves. I mean, it'd be like "Kubo sensei, please write Bleach in a way that we have enough story for 52 episodes - oh and do it in a way that we can have a nice closure!" Okay, that wouldn't be so bad now... but it would seriously interfere with the storytelling.

[malik-chan.livejournal.com]

I might be wrong, but I swear they take season breaks for kids shows in the US. When not playing new episodes, they rerun them, which Japan could do as well. And I highly doubt a child's attention span is that short, most kids don't care as long as they see the show, so reruns would most likely work anyway.

[kelene.livejournal.com]

Word, OP. Motherfucking word.

[kuromitsu.livejournal.com]

*friendly pat*

I don't watch the anime (well, not more than necessary for my job) but I'm surrounded by people who do and it's fun to hear them rage and whine about the fillers. (Though the latest one sounds pretty lame even by my standards. I mean, really, an entire story about zanpakutou personifications? Eh? And they look so lame, too.)

[melayka.livejournal.com]

Generally IA completely, but I'm actually impressed with the Zanpakuto Rebellion thing they've just started. Hard to say how it'll pan out over the long run, but the animation/darker tone is pretty crisp so far - and plotwise, it's about side characters that are at least interesting/relevant to the main shinigami.

If you hate filler so much, just don't watch it. Pretend the show's on season break and go back to it when it gets good again. Simple enough.

[kurai007.livejournal.com]

LMAO, ILU

[jess880.livejournal.com]

I couldn't agree more.


I hate fillers...

[lunchy.livejournal.com]

No, you're not psychotic. Not at all...

What else would you want them to do, huh? Taking a break is like suicide to a younger audience like that. They'll find something else to cling to.

[malik-chan.livejournal.com]

They take season breaks in the US and as far as I've seen, shows for children don't die after the first season, that may be because in the US they play reruns during the season break. If Japan did this, I doubt they'd lose the audience.

[kestrellan.livejournal.com]

See, I've only just reached this problem with Bleach. I started watching it for the first time a few weeks ago. When I reached episode 63, I wasn't sure whether to carry on or just skip to 110, considering all the complaining I've heard about the Bount arc. Then again, I kinda hate missing episodes JIC I miss something important. I've now been trying to decide this for about 2-3 weeks. Advice?

[kuromitsu.livejournal.com]

I just finished watching the entire Bount arc (for work, not because I particularly wanted to see it), and I have to say - maybe I just take Bleach way less seriously than I should, but I actually enjoyed it. Yes, it's very silly but not much more than the original story (and I have a feeling that the writers were aware of the silliness as well and deliberately went over-the-top a number of times - in any case I had many laughs), the main characters actually play a considerable role (which means a lot to me because I couldn't care less about most of the shinigami and I'm pretty miffed about how they took over the canon story), it has overall nice music, and the animation is perfectly serviceable most of the time (again: it's not any worse than what they used to have in the canon storyline, at least most of the time). Oh, and I actually like the three new mod souls, I think they're cute. :D

So all in all I say it's not half as tragic as what people make it out to be. But then, as I said, I usually don't take Bleach particularly seriously, especially story-wise. And little Ishida never fails to make me go "aaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww~!" :D

[muchluvtoyou.livejournal.com]

Bleach fillers are generally awful. But this new filler arc seems genuinely interesting. Plus, the sexy zanpakuto character designs~ <3 you can't go wrong there.

[3goodtimes.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! Well, they'll have to stop completely when the manga catches up, but that'd be much better than the alternative. I'd rather let them animate non-filler episodes better on hiatus than sit through the utter crap they come up with while Kubo writes. Terrible stuff. One Piece's filler is at least watchable.

[foofighter0234.livejournal.com]

THEN DON'T WATCH THE FUCKING FILLERS, IDIOT!

[sevetenks.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah because the current stuff in the manga's been a work of freaking art and all.

[withoutshape.livejournal.com]

Oh, I like this one. So angry, without being wank.

*so lucky to be in a fandom that currenly has a magnificent not-actually-filler arc~*

[plumespixie2.livejournal.com]

THIS. THIS. THIS.

I only recently got into bleach... And only for the elusive Kuchiki-pseudo-cest ship and I am feeling your pain OP.

I wish I could find a comprehensive list of all the eps that byakuya shows up in... But if you miss like ONE episode sometimes you'll have no idea what's going on and other times you can skip 10 and you're right back where you started and can follow it.

<3
PP

[saintmaverick.livejournal.com]

That's exactly why I stopped watching the anime and now read only the manga. I feel you, OP!

[carnillvious.livejournal.com]

Yeah, because MURDERING the creator wouldn't completely stop the story and make it impossible to advance AT ALL.
If you really want to be a murderer and on a filler note, anon, go right on ahead. I realize this is an overstatement but...really? It's people like you that said those awful things to Hideki Anno.

[(Anonymous)]

Not that I condone murder, but Hiroyuki Abe is just the director, not the creator. He's replaceable. :P
