    Drawn out battles and filler, try Naruto. The last, I dunno, 30 or so episodes have been filler and it doesn't look like that's going to change for a while yet.

    tnx will try

    Bleach is another one you should probably try out.

    Lots and lots of battles between super powerful warriors in that series.

    I was the same actually... totally got hooked by it... then those filler episodes with the vampires made me completely lose interest.


  • Registered Users Posts: 911 ✭✭✭sharingan


    Theres quite a lot of these Shonen Jump-style fighting shows.

    You could always try Dragonball GT .... *choke*

    As everyone else has mentioned, theres Naruto & Bleach. Yoiu could also try Yu Yu Hakusho & Hunter X Hunter.

    Yep... it was pretty rubbish... but Baby had his moments though.

    And the Super Android 17 was cool.

    Would it still be worth watching?

    Or is the manga better?

    I've never read the Manga.... but it's a pretty good action anime... it's starts out with the first 16 or so episodes being very episodic.. then it suddenly goes into a big long running epic storyline very much like a dragonball saga.

    The fights are very well animated and fun to watch... and don't drag out as much as the Dragonball fights.

    You have stuff like going Super Saiyan though... as most of the characters have their own special swords with special powers... and they all 2 different levels of power they can power their sword up to.

    You mean the bounts? Or whatever they're called. Yeah, what a crap story arc, but still far more interesting than the random filler crap Naruto has been going through for well over a season. Naruto anime must be miles ahead of the manga.

    got some Naruto episodes but there in jap is there english episodes also out ??


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,092 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    Watch anime in japanese, apart from Hellsing where both are acceptable but the English is better.

    aww buttt im to lazy to read :S


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,808 ✭✭✭Stokolan


    I used to always go for the dubbed versions of anime but after reading post here about the japanese versions being better i have never turned back :)

    Bleach is great im even enjoying the fillers there not as bad as what people make out, Im right up on the latest ep 82 and 83 was released today afaik.

    Naruto was good i managed to stick with it to ep 166 but lost interest after that. I did watch the first few episodes in both jap and us dubbed (think for toonami) and ill have to say the jap was better the dubbed version had a lot edited out. Even started to learn some japanese so as not to depend on subtitles :P

    Actually the manga is going off with the good story and the anime is ars*ing about.
    The anime goes straight from the fight between Naruto and Sauske to two years later. All the characters are grown up with more moves and abilities and the like ^_^

    I figure they are slowing down the anime so they dont run out of story in the middle. ~shrug~

    Im just catching up to the filler eps of naruto now...ive been warned theyre not so good :rolleyes:

    This is the best way to do it I suppose, that way we get to see all the relevant story without filler.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 344 ✭✭Cosine


    Even better is that I've a friend who's really into both the anime and the manga. The first episode where the anime starts to follow the story again and I'm bound to get an email :D Saves me having watch any more filler


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,227 ✭✭✭awhir

    lol.



    Let's take DBZ. When everybody just goes 'grrrrr' and 'I can't believe he is so powerful' for a complete episode.


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    Filler episodes are episodes made only for the anime series and aren't actually part of the Manga storyline.

    The Garlic Junior Saga in Dragonball Z would be an example of filler episodes.

    Ha... that's not filler... that's the main plot of the series.

    I remember it well. If dragonball has no storyline then there is no filler? :)
