I stress again, if you can't stand these "filler episodes" so much, why not just read the manga and be done with it? You'd know exactly what's going on with the story (in case you were holding your breath in anticipation) instead of being disappointed each week and complaining about it on these forums. I don't understand, do you really need this story in animated form in order to enjoy it? Why look down on "all of that shit"? Because it doesn't follow the manga to the letter? Big deal. It's still entertaining if you let it be, instead of immediately dismissing it as "filler" and "shit".Originally Posted by mage
I put "filler" in quotations because I think it's a bullsh*t term that's very disrespectful to the animation makers. They have budget and time constraints and it's not their fault the manga writer can't produce more storyline in a timely manner to meet the tv studio's requirements for production. I don't love the shoddy story-telling and poor animation either, but I enjoy what I can from it, and give thanks that they make it, and I will continue to support them until they do get back to better times.
