The Art of Anime Fillers

CleffyII

After watching the Naruto, Bleach, and Dragon Ball Z fillers I have discovered the science of Long Term Anime Fillers.

• The IQ of all the characters suddenly drops below retarded levels as they fall for the same exact thing over and over again, while at the same time they seem to forget how to do stuff they have done before.
• They must repeat things you already learned about them from the actual story arc multiple times.  Repitition is the key to understanding.
• They're will be a ramen cooking challenge!
• It must above all else go against the story arc.  The main character was off in an un-returnable realm where they are "training for the final battle that determines the fate of the world?"  Well I think its plausible for them to come back for a 4 month period of time to train for a Ramen Cook Off.
• They will add 3 extremely annoying characters for comic relief that they will try ernestly to keep in the series.
• The actual story behind the filler cannot consume more then 1 minute of thought.
• All moral outlooks will no longer have shades of grey, there is only good and evil.  However, people will blindely perform in thier extreme regardless of how they were before the fillers.
• All new introduced sub characters and maybe some already introduced ones will reveal they have the same exact tragic story of the main character in order to form a sort of connection.
• They will introduce telling an alternate story in the guise of another subcharacter in which following thier story might be interesting, but they will completely drop it in order to further ruin the original story arc.
• Most importantly, everything that has happened or was happening before the fillers no longer exists.

ehh i dunno. After seeing some episodes where all they did is talk. Or those episodes where goku would say KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-KAAAAAAAAAAAA-MEEEEEEEE-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH for half the episode ....... i think it deserves to be on the list.

The first bullet made me laugh.

I so agree with it 100%, though.

Recaps... but each character gets their own episode...

Ohh ya, I forgot about the 5 minute recap, and 5 minute prelude in a 23 minute episode.  Also the several minutes of screaming.  I can't believe funimation was stupid enough to actually show the Naruto Fillers instead of just skipping it and going straight to Shippuden.  I mean fans are going to lose interest after 2 years of the same 3 episodes played over and over again.  Also the Recap Episode.  Sure its good to use one when the series is 52 episodes long.  But when they are recapping the last 6 episodes with 1 whole episode...
