So what is “filler”? Basically, if an anime is looking to buy time to give some breathing room to the manga or simply diverge from the source material, it will create original stories. In the case of Naruto, there have been some wild original stories for the anime, including Orochimaru building a Naruto robot, a ninja ostrich teaming up with Team 7 during the earliest days of the series, and an alternate reality story that spanned dozens of episodes.
What do you consider to be the worst example of filler from Naruto’s anime? Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me up directly on Twitter @EVComedy to talk all things comics, anime, and the world of the Hidden Leaf Village.
