A Gecko Ending is not the same thing as filler. I can't say about Blue Exorcist, but the second half of the first FMA is nearly all vital plot episodes (it's the first half that has dead-ends, like the Psyren episode). It's just a different plot from the manga. But that is not filler. |

That should've been first place on the list. It was hilariously awkward and at the same time adorable, especially considering who the players were. And while we're at LoGH, there's young Mittermeier's proposal to Evangeline. Where he bought roses (yellow roses!) and cake, but not a ring. Made even more cute/awkward in the manga where he tries to hug and kiss her but the huge bouquet of (yellow!!) roses is in the way.... |

Yessssss Wolfram x Yuri making #1 makes me so happy. Regardless of Yuri being straight or not, the interaction between the two boys is just too funny. And the way that whole proposal scene played out.....! xD

Don't watch it, it got the nickname Code Trainwreck for a reason. I could only watch it on Adult Swim's website because I could only take a small portion of it at a time. |

Absolute agree. The first Hunter x Hunter is a masterpiece in terms of filler. |

I read the first Moribito novel, and the anime seemed to end the same way, even though it took a few non-canon detours to get there. |

On the poll, I voted for DBZ, since the fillers were more bearable than the ones that I've seen from Naruto and Bleach.

Right, which is why I was talking about FMA. *le sigh* Did I have to bold the part I was obviously referring to? Edit: fixing some formatting errors. Last edited by vashfanatic on Sun Nov 20, 2011 10:35 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Sorry about that.
I thought you were responding to the other poster in the order that person had framed his/her post: Moribito, Blue Exorcist, then FMA. So.... I thought your first response was about Moribito. Sorry. |

A lot of people in this thread have a misguided grasp of spoiler tags. How the heck are people supposed to know what spoilers are being avoided if you're not giving a show title first. Putting the show title under the black bars helps nobody.

Nah, it's cool. I had to go back and edit one of my earlier posts because I didn't read someone's post closely enough. It happens to all of us. But yeah, I get irked when people mistake "the story went off in another direction" with "filler." And obviously filler is somewhat in the eye of the beholder. If an episode doesn't advance the plot but nonetheless has very strong character-establishment, is it really filler? If it provides a thankful lighthearted reprieve after a series of agonizingly intense episodes, is it still filler? Or are these both filler, only "good" filler? And if your series is almost entirely episodic with maybe just a few episodes in an overarching storyline (see: Cowboy Bebop) how do you determine what's filler and what's not? I still vote, hands down, for the first season of GitS:SAC. There was an overarching plot of the season that took up quite a few episodes, but the non-plot ones were dang good too. That said, I'd forgotten about some of the arcs in Moribito, and yeah, Kamiyama Kenji writes himself some good filler. |

Heh, I thought of LoGH immediately too. You kind of wouldn't expect that show to have a "cute" side to it too. |
