To everyone who doubted me on here when I said they were gonna watch 2 months of Naruto filler, here’s your answer lol

Steffen

This just solidifies my choice to never watch naruto, why would they make a show with atleast 8 fillers in a row

Zachary Longworth

I get their explanation in the beginning and it’s 100% their call but man does it sting to start watching filler right before THAT arc.

Acesoldia

It sucks..but fortunately I can at least watch Frieren

Steffen

Yes, but a show having so many fillers even die hard fans complain about them, or having to keep a list of what to watch and what to skip, is not my kind of indicator for a good show

bondbond53

That moment when you wait for the Pain arc for 6+ years and now that it's about to happen you still have to wait 2 months because of *checks notes* filler...

Andy N

Seriously?? I paid money to get up to date on Naruto and this is what my money buys?? Filler??? Really??????

Brandon Brenlla

Normal people binge Naruto and skip filler.

Joel

And the world shall know "".... for another two months

Bob

fuck me what a time to decide to post filler lol. dont think we ever got it before tho?

Exan Highlander

No double episodes for a ridiculously long and long dead anime series, then this 2 months long filler episodes reaction was the final nail in the coffin. The current time slot that Naruto was taking "all these years" could have been given to other anime or live action series by now. Good thing Dr. Stone already concluded and one of Vinland Saga best episodes is coming this Friday.

The filler exists because the show was catching up with the manga, it's not a fault with the story itself. The manga is a lot more fast paced, it's not its fault that the anime inserted so much filler into it. At least now people have the option to skip the filler arcs entirely. Yes, it's a pain, but again, the amount of filler is not a fault with the original story.

bondbond53

'Shall know FILLER' *everyone gasps in fear*

Ksweets

Hey feel free to die on this hill but don’t use it as an excuse to watch Naruto. If the filler was important enough people would say watch it. In fact you even have the option to watch it if you want to no one will force you to watch them. But they’re really bad so people suggest to skip them because 1. They are not part of the shows original story. And 2. The REALLY REALLY suck. But no one is making you choose to watch or not watch. So next you say you don’t wanna watch Naruto how about you be a big boy and just say it’s cause you don’t want to instead of making up some lame excuse about problems that don’t exist

bondbond53

Don't worry guys all of your complaints will be chalked up to being toxic and wanting to impose your will on their Naruto experience when we've been waiting 6+ years to reach this peak of the story with weekly 1 episode releases. After all these years our input is valued at 0. Sure do what you want with your channel but don't maintain that you care for community input

Yuion

Its just funny to see those comments week after week for years. I say its a mentality thing. I dont even consider the naruto slot to be anything but. In my mind when naruto finishes the slot just disappears. If you think about it like that, its not a wasted slot :D. In the end you and I cant change it so just make the best of it. believe me. Its healthier

Temperistic

Why not watch the filler on your own time instead? Why piss off your patrons? I don't understand.

Ahmed Ibrahim

This is on most important fillers considering whom it concerns so I completely understand their decision. I should’ve when Aaron said last week we’ll be back with 144 instead of 152 I was just hoping lmao. PS: Spoilers The other tailed beast besides 1,8, and 9 are literally never shown unless you watch the fillers which honestly becomes one of my biggest gripes with the show later on. So fuck it I guess.

Joe Smith

Hey guys, seeing how people are upset about the fillers, I feel like a good compromise would be to do double episode reactions for the next 8 weeks. This way you guys can react to the fillers, and also stay on schedule after 8 weeks (and therefore have people be less upset).

Brandon Brenlla

This 100% reactions are for fans who want to see other fans react to the story. Who tf wants to watch BW reactions to filler for 2 months right before Pain? What a terrible idea.

bondbond53

Well apparently it was decided on Discord years ago so neither Patreon or Youtube fans matter, only the select people on Discord that were there to decide who God knows if they're still watching

Brandon Brenlla

This is one of my main frustrations when it comes to BW. Honestly if I had been working with BW I would have straight up told them that reacting to Naruto would be a bad idea. Because you’d understandably get fans who think that watching this show once a week is insane given it’s over 700 episodes long and it’s pacing so they’ll ask for double drops. Bw got two ways to deal with this. By cutting their losses and saying long form shows like Naruto are just not viable with their adamant once a week schedule and not reacting to it or giving in and watching 2 a week. They chose none of those options and decided to ignore the community and watch at once a week for 10 years which I get why people think it’s crazy cuz it is! Then what’s a bigger issue they decide they’re watching filler too to break the momentum the show was starting to get. No community input on this either except from 6 years ago when they made a list with fans on what filler to watch and what not to watch. You weren’t there 6 years ago for this very important decision? Well sucks to suck and I doubt those same people 6 years ago are still even here. I love BW I really do I wouldn’t still be a patreon if I didn’t but the criticisms and frustrations are valid and we’re only ever given the “you guys are toxic” line by BW, their mods, and BW fans and it’s frustrating.

A. Saffari

I would say this filler does cut the momentum of the previous episodes but we also get to know the tailed beasts in these episodes. They skipped filler in the past, so it was a decision to watch these eps.

Jake Beaumont

new Doctor Who full length episode page is on the website is blank

cody skater

well i guess i will see guys in 2 months lol probably cancel the patreon subscription till then as well. money is a bit tight atm and naruto is the only reaction i'm following and i have zero interest in the filler.

Jake Beaumont

Yep doctor who full length not showing up at all. Blank page completely

David

Please do double drops for the filler arc at least.

MaaikeBrownie

They know that almost no one wants to see the filler but they just don't care... I'm honestly pretty disappointed

Brandon Brenlla

They keep saying “it’s okay to be frustrated with this decision” and then do absolutely nothing to help remedy the situation so people aren’t frustrated lol

Rando calrissian

This is literally everything I wanted to say

Mbet

I wish Blind Wave dropped shows like Naruto how The Normies did because this is ridiculous. I wish that if they wanted to watch the fillers that they just react to it as like a separate series (cause I actually like the filler) and continue the main (canon) one. I think it's crazy to do this because it'll take 8 extra weeks to get back to main story. So this release format is just so frustrating...

GodUsopp

Just so you guys understand how much of blue balls this is, this is like waiting for your favorite reactors to start the chimera ant arc and then having to wait 2 months instead but I like that you guys are invested and thats whats most important, this next arc after the filler will hit even harder when you are invested with these characters

KBM

well hopefully it's Raid 2 this Friday otherwise I might just cancel a 4-year active sub for the next few months.

Kare

Not a person who watches this type of content, so can someone explain what "filler" Is? I've read all of the replies, and it didn't help. No real reason for me to know other than I'm nosey.

Brandon Brenlla

I love how they pretend they care about community input too btw lol the only community input they care about are the ones that parade what BW wants to do

Sky Alderson

Instant unsubcribe for me. I already thought doing only one episode a week for a show with 400+ episodes was a ridiculous and predatory technique to get subscriptions for as long as possible, and now 2 months of filler is the straw that breaks the camel's back. I prefer waiting 3 months instead of 2 to see the rest of Shippuuden for free and will give my money to creators who 1/ need it more, 2/ are more respectful with their subscribers.

Brandon Brenlla

Let me explain to you how Gintama explains anime filler “When an anime catches up to a manga that’s still running, it must take a roundabout path to stay within the reach of the manga before it can rejoin the manga. However there are a number of risks. The anime could buy enough time for the manga to move on, only to be cancelled. Or the manga ends right when the anime’s about to rejoin. Or the anime and manga rejoin too early, and the anime has to diverge again in no time. Or in the process of diverging, the characters or setting in the anime become so different, that they can never rejoin again. Then that’s when they just shamelessly remake the anime from the start again.” TLDR: basically the anime makes original episodes to give the source material (the manga or another word to call it comic) time to make new content and the “filler” has no importance at all to the actual story of the show.

SufferBoi

Why is watching 1 episode per week worse than not watching it at all though? As a huge Naruto fan I'm just glad they're doing it at all even if it takes forever. It's not like I'm gonna die any time soon and be unable to keep watching the reactions or something lol. I'm sure if you asked the One Piece fans they'd be grateful to even get what us Naruto fans are getting.. Like obviously I would love if we got 2 per week but to say it'd be a better choice to not do the show at all is just wild to me lol

Joe Smith

to be fair naruto is in its own time slot, it was never chosen by a poll, they just added it on as an extra show.

Joe Smith

I would say that this specific filler in question does add some extra context to the story though.

Shady Username

That's not what people are upset about

Kare

Oh interesting! Sounds like it's like British shows making a holiday episode between seasons (but in a grander, more complex scale).

Ashleep

Happy to see you said this, @SufferBoi! I am not an anime watcher so I have learned a lot from the comments under this post, and I agree that a series reaction taking six or ten years to complete is a crazy commitment. The main thing I keep coming back to, though, is that fan subscribers are aware of the show's' length, and (after at least one month of subscribing) also aware of Blind Wave's weekly posting approach. They can therefore plan when to subscribe/unsubscribe from Blind Wave to ensure they're paying for what they each feel is sufficient content. I understand people being upset if the episode decisions and schedule weren't communicated clearly enough in time to make monthly subscription decisions. Beyond that, "them's the breaks" of the reaction phenomenon.

Chaos T

It's a weird decision to start watching filler when that hasn't been a thing since the crew starting reacting to Naruto or any other anime. They lost a subscriber.

Shockzz1234

Yes but the holiday episodes are usually good. Fillers are usually not good at all.

Kare

Point taken!

Shockzz1234

I don't even care about Naruto that much (as in, I don't watch every reaction, but i watch the episodes i remember being good) and this has annoyed me lol. Why would you even contemplate this, let alone actually go through with it? Lol.

Brandon Brenlla

Cuz they do whatever the fuck they want and don’t care about anyone’s input, especially the input of the community lol

Clerf

Fat Fuckin L.

Woodsie89

No one voted for Naruto

Angel Molina

Really guys, you’re going to start reacting to the fillers now? Of all times we’ve had filler in this show? We’ve waited 6 years for you guys to reach this point of the story, and you guys are you going to botch it and ruin the momentum with this filler arc?

Cadmus Lochlan

It's just 8 episodes, yall. At least your show is being reacted to.

Daz

That’s lame of them

Daz

I just know the comments are gonna be crazy when this hits YouTube 💀

Daz

8 filler episodes over 2 months. Right before the arc that everyone has been waiting 6 years for them to see. Thats a dog act on their part 100%

Steffen

Dont use "i will have to keep a list to know what to even watch, otherwise it will be terrible" as an excuse? Okei i wont, its a fact, not an excuse that i im not intrerested in doing that. Just because the problem has a solution, it is still a problem. But also just dosent seem like my kind of show, and dont want to watch 1000+ episodes of anything. Having to keep a list is just the iceing

Crusty

Nah fuck this

Jjop017

Ironically, I remember the Normies getting backlash for only doing two a week and complaining it would take them years to finish. I don't think those complaints really disappeared until BW started reacting to Naruto at one a week and made the people complaining about the Normies' model actually appreciate it more.
