We all hated filler episodes once — the moments between big fights, the “useless” side missions, the random beach days…But what if those fillers were the reason anime felt so alive?
In this video, I dive deep into how filler episodes actually made anime special, from Naruto’s goofy Leaf Village missions to One Piece’s legendary G-8 arc and Afro Luffy’s chaos. These weren’t just random additions — they gave us breathing space, built worlds, and helped us fall in love with our favorite characters on a personal level. And What If New Gen Animes like Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen had fillers and how it would have affected them.
Today’s seasonal anime focus on story pacing, visuals, and short formats — but in that evolution, we lost something. Something that made anime feel real, warm, and alive.
So let’s talk about:
– Why Filler Episodes are important for character development
– How fillers expanded the anime world beyond canon
– What we lost when anime stopped being “weekly”
– Why nostalgia for fillers shows the soul of classic anime
– From Naruto to One Piece — how filler arcs created unforgettable memories
