Not only the anime Naruto but other animes too... These are not
consider fillers because it's trying to tell you
THEIR life within the 2 years before finding
Sasuke. Without these eposide, viewers cant seem to feel for the
characters more. This is anime, unlike manga where you can see
moving pictures, sounds and emotions. Manga might be interesting
for you because they get to the point... why? Because drawing in
Manga is far more easier then creating anime. In Manga, you might
want see what happen quickly but you cant really
'feel' it.
For example, some of you might hate the 'curry of life' episode,
but without that episode, how do you know that Raiga is also from
one of the seven swordmen of the Mist? That is also where Kisame,
one of akatsuki is from. It's trying to tell you that Raiga is
different from the rest because he save the little sick boy
(Ranmaru) etc.. you can feel more emotion from this.
To me, these are the element that make the anime more
interesting... showing Naruto's righteous side, stupid side
etc..What makes you think that 'Naruto' anime is about saving
Sasuke? or about Akatsuki? If so, it should be 'Naruto the Sasuke
Saviour' or 'Nukenin* of the Akatsuki' For those who dunno,
'Nukenin' refers to missing ninja who betray their village. The
title stated 'Naruto' so it about Naruto's
LIFE..
What is really consider as a fillers is the 1
hr episodes consist of the 'Top 5' battles.. This is then a
fillers.. Because they got nothing better to do and they got into a
live studio showing their past battle.. There is also one whereby
Orochimaru even got interviewed... This is what you can call.. crap
fillers. Because other than these, the rest is actually within the
storyline.. and if you cant accept the storyline, it's better for
you to give up watching anime. If you just want to know what happen
to Sasuke and Akatsuki, you might as well read a storybook or even
read a spoiler.
PS: Even storybooks have fillers too, you cant expect the writer
to write as simple as "hero's friend turned bad, then the hero
fought with him, the friend regretted and they live happily ever
after." See without your so-called fillers, my story just end like
that..
