In fact, let’s ramble a bit on Yu-Gi-Oh! since with its 224 episodes and 40% anime original content, it makes for frequent debate ground. It’s almost like your preferences are about their belief systems and world views.Īnd since I’m good at pissing people off, here’s my favorite shounen arc: Why do people even post this? What’s the value of these comments? At best, they have the audacity to think that their comment was informative guidance to show you the way so you can realize that what you enjoyed and found to be good wasn’t actually enjoyable or good in the first place (no, seriously, there are tools who think like this) so you can reform your opinion towards the generally accepted one, at worst it’s an aggressive dismissal of your right to say such things to begin with. And trust me, you’ve had the wonderful experience of “Man, I really liked that scene/arc where X happened” – “Uhm, dude, it’s FILLER!!!!” before. In fact, there are so many of them in their bubble of wishful thinking they don’t just think they get to decide what an adaptation should be like but also your opinion on them. I have no intentions of calling these people dumb as it’s unwise to aggravate the stupid but I’m seeing a lot of bias and no sense at all there.

Others are too stupid to read but will tell you the studio really fucked up by not adhering to the story they could have read, hypothetically speaking. Some of them have read the source material and if you don’t deliver a panel-by-panel adaptation, you’re done for.

Now this is something that upsets people because they want the manga experience without experiencing the manga. Or, as the anime community treats it – “something wasn’t in my precious manga so I must scream at the top of my lungs in denial while cursing at the anime staff inside my head”.

You’ve probably heard the term before: “filler”. But first of all, let me dig really deeply into why they’re not a bad thing per se.
