Ep 182 -- no spoilers

[jay-apex.livejournal.com]

I have to admit, I'm not a big fan of the filler episodes. In fact, I can't wait until they're over so we can get back to canon stuff. But episode 182...man...that pulled at my heart strings. I must admit, I'm kind of liking the who Star Village arc.

I admit I have found I like this arch too... mostly because I love the Mother/Son drama they have going.... makes me all snifflie and honestly Naruto and Lee have been adorable....

I keep thinking.... "Come on Neji!! Let them help the Star kids!!" *laughs*

The only fillers I have liked so far are this one and parts of the Bikouchu (or however you spell it) arc.

I couldn't care less about the Star Village. I almost turned last week's episode off, I found it so mind-numbingly boring (but then the 'OMG IT'S NARUTO WHAT AM I THINKING? :O' kicked in and I watched it all).

I did, however, love the Anko filler and I love crack filler. Especially with Jiraiya. <3

Filler is just stupid. It's not even 'different', it's just rubbish. >:O

This was my favorite filler character.

My god... that filler ep with Jiraiya and the mail-nin... ohmygod that was so freaking hilarious. I love that perverted hermit.

[turnip-girl.livejournal.com]

That really was brilliant. I love Jiraiya more everytime I watch an episode with him in. ♥

He has a hairline to die for!

Ech. The Star fillers are boring because the Star villagers don't have fish powers like in the Anko arc. I liked the fish powers. XD

[weeaboo.livejournal.com]

HAWT.

i don't dislike fillers in general, but of course i wish they'd move on soon. i can't wait to see kakashi gaiden and naruto 2 in full color and animation (i'm really bad at following action scenes in the manga).

i'm not a big fan of the current star one, but i have to admit that the "natsuhiboshi kaze akai" song is starting to grow on me (really! i liked it when the mother was singing it. oh what the heck).

as for the other fillers. i like the anko one (see the icon?), the ramen cookoff, bikouchu, and kiba treasure hunt, among the ones i can remember. i just wish we get more team asuma. team gai's getting the most filler exposure, then team kurenai (at least kiba and hinata).

This episode, and the episode where Sumaru first sings the song to himself.. really both kinda tugged at my heartstrings, too. I really like this arc, because of the little backstory to it. Love the mother/son thing.

I have to admit that I am really not liking this arc. I find myself cringing (sp?) at it a lot, and it's my least favourite arc so far.

Or maybe it's just total Filler Fatigue...

I really think he likes that Sexy no Jutsu waaaaay too much XD Jiraiya/Naruto is the sex. lawl.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

So there's this special boy from a special village who has special powers

...what, like...say...Naruto? >:)

[amiyuy.livejournal.com]

Eh, we gave up on the filler a loooooooong time ago, back with the Curry of Life. -_-

[blooming-cosmo.livejournal.com]

I really like this arc so far. I think the writers are actually doing a good job with it so far. 182 made me keep going awwww all the way through. Actually I just really like the entire concept of the star village all together. Maybe I'm the only one here that actually likes the fillers even though I'm still anxious to see part II. All well...next weeks episode looks interesting.

[jay-apex.livejournal.com]

It's true that the whole "special kid with special powers" thing is overused in the filler arcs. But let's face it, it's overused all throughout canon stuff as well.

[jay-apex.livejournal.com]

Curry of Life was just a crap remake of Zabuza and Haku.

Lee can use chakra, he just can't do ninjutsu or genjutsu. If he couldn't use chakra, he wouldn't be able to open some of those 8 gates.

Nor would he be able to walk on the top of the water after the timejump.

[turnip-girl.livejournal.com]

He can't help being male. XD

I don't mind filler, myself. It's just a case of reminding myself not to take it TOO seriously. Honestly, it's nice to be able to watch my favorite series and NOT know exactly what's going to happen next.

I'm with you on this Star village arc. I LOVE the Natsuhiboshi song (I need to record this week's for everyone...) and the mother/son thing just tugs at my heart. I gotta admit, though, that the Anko arc was super awesome for learning about her past (I'm going to assume that they DID ask Kishimoto about that, seeing as she's an already distinguished character).

[domlandbubbles.livejournal.com]

Ooh! If you record the song I will be very happy!

[candela-ln.livejournal.com]

What episode number was that? I may just have to watch it.

[shigeruhiko.livejournal.com]

And not as sexy and hot. <3

[ronyu.livejournal.com]

ah, good to hear i'm not the only one "ripping" that song :) i like the female singer in that episode.

[tenshibattosai.livejournal.com]

The fillers are okay. I generally find them amusing ^_^ (Most of the time)

I love the lulluby though. Natsuhiboshi naze akai, yuube kanashi yume wo mita... etc etc.. ^_^ I (Strangely O_O) find myself singing it when I'm in a bad mood and it somewhat calms me down...

Can't wait for the filler arc to end though! X3 Kakashi Gaiden ONEGAIIIIIi! And then we finally get back into the original plot somewhat involving Sasuke ^W^
