Fillers

Post by yoshmaster5 » Tue Jul 11, 2006 1:12 pm

We all know of filler episodes. Those episodes with no plot point, major character development, or much at all. The episodes, generally, for the Manga to get farther, or, for the video games to get farther. The Filler episodes can be good, annoying, or the bane of our existance altogether. However, a select few shine out for comedic value, or other reasons. So... just put your favorite fillers down, I guess. Mine, really:

Rockman.exe episode 41: ... everything is a neko. and there's a Godzilla cat vs. Rush battle at the end. :lol: Just... completely random.

BSSM 184: ... need I explain?
BSSM 79: NURSE MINAKO

Kodocha 23: And... Sana's half-sister is looking for her, and ends up wreaking havoc for Zeinjirou. XD

PKMN 16: ... Koujirou with inflatable breasts... need I say more? :lol:
-Adam Picard-
Blake? oh, like a coffee break!!
Poet? What is that? Is it tasty? Is it a popular new snack? Usagi, Stars 179

James: For some reason I'm seeing you in a nurse's uniform...
Steve: Thank you Jeff, that will be all. ... He's not here, is he? Oh God I've internalized him...
-Coupling; The Freckle, the Key, and the Couple who weren't

'Who will tell us about this? Oh, no it is didnt know New Orleans was underwater guy.'
-Jon Stewart, The Daily Show

"Plus, Act now and you'll get the Mood of Dick Cheney! Including Rage, *RANH* Irritability, *RANH* and Mind-Blowing Orgasmic pleasure! *RAAAAANH* Order now!"

Pocket Monsters. Battle Frontier's a GREAT season, the biggest problem besides the art, however, is how RUSHED it feels. There's hardly ANY fillers. And its few fillers suck. xD;; -ahem- To avoid confusing anyone, I'll use the dub names, okay? ^^
Kanto! Yay!
Pokemon Fashion Flash. Woohoo, Rose of Versailles cosplay. xD YAY, crossdressing, YAY, ROSES!
Holy Matrimony. JEZEBEL. >D
Orange! ... Er, well, the Orange Islands technically IS filler...
ALL OF IT? xD Yes. <3
Johto, Johto, Johto...
Just Waiting on A Friend - that poor poor Ninetales. ;-; Just an overall very eerie episode. ... And Lakoko was PRETTY.
The whole Lugia trilogy.
The whole Red Gyarados saga, but ESPECIALLY Rage of Innocence.
A Better Pill to Swallow. xDDD Come on, it's so PERVERTED. I love it. <3 SO. Much.

Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon

YES, the Nurse Minako episode! xDD -loves-
And the two-timing Minako episode from SuperS. xD

-off-topic- Yoshmaster5!! ^^;;;
Kojirou and Kojiro are both right, the u is at the end is optional, you could just put an accent on the 'o.' However, there isn't an accent on the first 'o,' so doing that's incorrect.

Ko-ji-ro-(u)
If it were Koujirou it'd be...
&#12467;&#12454;&#12472;&#12525;&#12454;
... Which it's not. xD
My Art - My LiveJournal

Zeta from Bulbagarden. xD
>>>Lucario learns a move called "Tonbogaeri". This is a move in Judo feauturing a kick to the groin. Yes, they''ve actually made "Kick Him in the Nuts" an attack. It should SO do 150% more damage to male Pokemon. XD

The "student film" from Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu. Even though it's the first episode, it's really filler, but it's funny as heck.

The one in Genshiken where Saki cosplays as the President and catches the guy with the hidden camera.

From Azumanga Daioh, the "Sakaki-san special," where they all walk through the park together and Sakaki has the vision of them walking on clouds.

And lots from Excel Saga:

-Bowling Musume, for the title alone.
-The one where the Ropponmatu live with Excel and Hyatt
-The one where they go to the pool and meet the little girl.
-Where E&H become teachers and lead the baseball team.
-Love Hena, also for the title, and because I really like the romance between Watanabe and Hyatt.
Things I think Are Funny Early in the Morning: If Batman were a Smurf: "Quick, Robin! We must smurf down to the Batcave and smurf the Batplane! Then we must smurf the batsmurf so we can smurf where the Joker is smurfing!"

The Croonerism Spate (explanations upon request)
Be careful with this one, there is a bit of a pun involved. Dr. Spooner described his visit to a castle: "In the center of the fortress was the Palace Court. The gated entrance to this area was the court palace."

Pokemon

A Chansey Operation- Just too funny, the best part is seeing Team Rocket behind the whole accident. XD

Beauty and the Beach- Everyone in swimsuits, and more importantly, Takeshi in swimming trunks. Instant win. Besides, Obaba and Kojiro with boobs is funny.

Cutie Honey

Dreams Torn, The Black Scissors- What can I say? I'm a sucker for zany 70's anime. Misty Honey kicking ass, and the wacky Scissors Land Theme park are just too cool!

Dororon Enma-kun

A Beautiful Rose's Thorns- This is what Enma-kun is all about, horror. This episode deals with a rose demon, Babara, stealing bodyparts from humans. Very creepy!

The Big O

Missing Cat- Very deep, and creepy episode. Besides, Eugene Grant is freaking awesome!

Also the fact that despite being set in Kanto, the writers don't seem to realize Ash has been through there before (i.e. no people from the first Kanto arc, Ash never goes back for his goddamned Pidgeot and Primeape, etc). They'd rather make up new characters and drag Hoenn characters to Kanto, apparently...

Also, more on topic, that Inuyasha mini-arc about the cat demons.

Also any Naruto filler with Hinata in it. Whoever makes the anime must like her (as opposed to the manga, where it took a good 40 chapters for her to appear after the timeskip, for like two panels, and she hasn't appeared since)...

off-topic-- We do see Takeshi's siblings and his parents again, though. (But yeah, we need more Kanto characters, yo.) And Saori recognized Takeshi as the Gym Leader of Nibi. When was the last time that happened?

Yes, I ADORE episodes 24 and 25 of Excel Saga. Poor Excel. ;-;

And the one with the little girl Cosette. xD

I dig the filler in DBZ. No one else does though... rude.

The Sakaki-san special kicks ass!

Oh, and Sailor Moon filler. I guess that's good to.

Well, Azumanga Daioh is mostly filler, but the New Year's dream episode is one of the funniest things I have every seen, especially Saki's dream. It was even funnier that she actually believed it.

Episode 20 of Sailor Moon where they go to the Beach house. Completely pointless but one of my favorite fillers.

Any of Minako's episodes. I don't know if they're considered fillers or not, but I usually really enjoy her episodes. Too bad she didn't get more.
