The anime is stiff and dull and boring to watch or listen to.

I haven't kept up with Shippuden, but I like the original. I liked what I saw/read of Shippuden but I just haven't stayed with it.

I liked it up until the Pain Arc... afterwards... ehhh.
I liked the last two episodes but they're filler.
And it seems we're in filler land for another two months.

[Hakudamashi]

I think it even beats Dragonball in terms of filler.

DBZ is much better than naruto

[TheGameNinja]

Naruto has waaaay more filler than DBZ. If I remember right, the filler arcs in Naruto were just as long as the non filler.

what does filler mean?

what does filler mean?

Well, there's two definitions. First, episodes or entire arcs of episodes of an anime that are not included in the source material. Naruto filler are episodes that are not based on the manga. Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya filler is episodes that aren't in the light novels. An example is every episode of Naruto after Sasuke leaves the village to go with Orochimaru.

The second definition is just added in bits to fill time in an episode. Excessive screaming in DBZ or extended transformation sequences in Sailor Moon.

Filler is generally frowned upon since it rarely adds anything to the show. But, it's necessary for a show that's based on a manga that is still being written. Once the show catches up with the manga, there's nothing else to do but either go off the air for a few months or make up something.

Bakuman. is an example of a show going off the air instead of resorting to filler. But, this is risky, since time slots on Japanese TV are sold off to the highest payer, and once its taken that show basically has it til the show ends. Giving up your timeslot means you risk not getting the same audience you had before.

Then again, there's Bleach. Bleach had filler that was actually much better paced and even animated than the main story. The manga has so little substance that one chapter is about 10 minutes (if that) of one episode. Frankly, if Bleach had just ignored the manga and the anime done its own thing with the setting, characters, etc. I think it would have been a much better show.
