Forum:Best Filler ever

I'm just jumping with anticipation for the next FILLER to come out. This weeks filler was interesting. Your thoughts? By the way, I'm talking about Episode 230 "A New Enemy! The Materialization of Zanpakutō " If you love Bleach and haven't watched it yet, what are you waiting for? Go now! OdoriZame 11:12, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't know about that, man. I usually take a break from the anime when they start airing fillers and go back to watching it when I hear it'll be new manga related stuff. Filler arcs don't have character development and their plot aren't that bright and interesting, in my opinion. In Naruto, it's subtle, they just add some new mission while in Bleach it has to be "while our friends are fighting fiercely at Hueco Mundo, we'll take a break and show you a different story..." Anyways, but this new one seems a lit bit appealing. We'll see Deimonos 16:56, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

when did you think this filler happened?Zankakku

I actually enjoy the fillers.

Granted...they are not up to the quality of the arcs derived from the manga but they offer a lot of interesting views of other parts of Ichigo's world. I'm big into Pen & Paper RPGs and have been considering converting Bleach to HERO system stats for all of the characters (HERO is the game system for the Champions superhero game for those in the know). From a RPG viewpoint Bounts make interesting villains and player characters too that are different enough from Shinigami to keep things interesting, for example. The Captain Amigai arc added some nice detail on the politics of Soul Society.

Anyway...fillers add depth to the show even when they aren't the best part of it.

Secondly it looks like this filler may break the pattern of so-so story arcs and actually be a good one. It CAN happen! Great Cthulhu 21:28, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

It looks like we might actually get a little character development in this filler! Right away we see everyone working with their sword spirits, including the struggles some of them have with that (Matsumoto's "Haineko" tantrum was funny, but also said a lot about how she deals with her sword). They've just been introduced, so I'm going to wait and see, but we might learn quite a bit about the characters from how they deal with the human forms of their swords.

Okay, okay... This filler, indeed, shows potential. The character design is also quite interesting, which I couldn't have said for the Bounto arc... Of course, I'll always be for the option of not making anime at all when story catches up with manga... Auron85 13:45, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
