I love it when animes go meta on you. Like when the old man in JJK is talking about frame interpolation being on my default ruining anime and giving it the soap opera effect. Lol.

Oh I remember this. They also had an episode where all they were talking about is what the next season should be about, with every character pitching in their suggestions.

Gintama is fuckin hilarious. One of my favorites.

It's honestly weird that they don't just wait till the source material has enough material to do the season.

Because long running anime makes more ad money from TV. Streaming might make filler episodes a thing of the past, but this clip is from maybe 15 years ago.

Might? I don't think fillers even exist anymore. The only old style shonen left are black clover and my hero

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Full filler episodes might not exist but one piece episodes are still 50% filler.

[–] Cybersteel@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Depends on what you mean filler I guess. Like padding or stretched runtime as opposed to whole filler arcs like in bleach or Naruto.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 months ago

I mean the things being talked about in the OP video?...

[–] mo_lave@reddthat.com 1 points 3 months ago

Are anime-original episodes considered filler too? Because the last episode of Makeine is anime-original, though the author wrote the story.

And there's also The Promised Neverland S2 and Wonder Egg Priority, from what I remember.

There aren't usually whole filler episodes anymore but there's a lot of weird fluff in Demon Slayer that wasn't in the manga.

[–] shani66@ani.social 1 points 3 months ago

I was going to argue the practice bleeds away audiences, but i guess this was for kids tv and kids are both stupid and left with not a lot of options for tv.
