filler filler and more filler
20๐ 14๐
In t.v. series that are derived from other forms like books or comics, fillers are episodes that did not appear in the book or comic. The creators of the television show make up episodes (that are normally really bad) and air those episodes that because they just needed to air an episode and they couldn't use a real one. Fillers can also be used to give the television show creators more time so that the book or comic creators can get farther ahead of them so that they don't catch up to the book or comic.
Something that i would like to point out is that the anime Naruto which was derived from the manga Naruto has had about 3 seasons of fillers because the anime nearly passed the manga.

A term used by anime fans to refer to episodes or segments devoted to content irrelevant to the episodes that the filler is sandwiched in between. These are usually made to allow manga writers and illustrators to catch up with the work, to bridge gaps made by hiatuses, or to be put in place of chapters delayed to later parts of the series.
