When Filler is GoodSometimes, filler is dreaded. It’s a time when an Anime fills in a gap with unneeded material, usually to give it’s source material time to give them more material, and fans start letting out a groan of frustration. But it’s not always bad. Sometimes, it’s good. This article would explore when filler is actually good, and by good, we define it as something that, in a way, adds something to the fictional world or plot of the show.

Are MMOROPG's Taking Over the Video Game Industry?Will there come a point where systems and consoles are obsolete and the franchises migrate to online instead. We’ve seen it happen with Legend of Zelda and Elder Scrolls. Might this happen with Pokemon? Kingdom Hearts? Will this repel some fans or bring in new ones? |
Filler Outside AnimeAnime is mostly known for filler, but sometimes, even books or movies, TV shows or anything else, can have filler too. This article would examine such instances and how they were received.

When Anime EndsSometimes, an Anime ends before it’s supposed to, or it ends in a poor way, a way devoid of any meaning. Surely it’s not just a decision on the part of the directors to discontinue it without giving a coherent ending. Anime like Pandora Hearts, Blood Lad, and Darker than Black gives that sort of vibe. Why does this happen, what options can a viewer explore if they want to satiate their hunger for more?

Pirates of the Caribbean- Should it Continue?Since The Curse of the Black Pearl, Pirates of the Caribbean has been a major franchise for Disney. However, ever since the end of the original trilogy, it’s sort of lost its original flair. Should it continue? What should Disney do to revive interest when the fifth one does come out?

Pirates of the Caribbean: Glory of PiracyFrom the first film, Pirates of the Caribbean has basically focused on the inherent code of piracy. But there’s a moral dilemma here. Does it defend piracy? Does it deplore it? What message does it send to kids who watch the movie? In the end, are the British Royal Navy really the bad guys?

Write this topicLink: Young or OldThe Legend of Zelda has always been about Link. Link is generally a young boy/man setting out to save Hyrule from the forces of evil, most of the time that being Ganondorf. However, the identity of Link is sometimes called into question. Is Link a young boy or a man? Ocarina of Time used both, but the Toon games like Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass, and Spirit Tracks use a young boy. Originally, it is well known Link is a boy. What changed for the creators to make him a man in Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess? And what changed to make them change him back again? What does this do for the franchise? Does it help or ruin it?

![]() Good question. I usually despise it when people come back from the dead but Han coming back… I’d be happy but at the same time, I’d be underwhelmed, disappointed. So… mixed feelings, mostly pissed off. | Gosh, the Main Character Is Dead!? So, When Do They Come Back? |
![]() I believe TV trope refers to it as Death is Cheap. | Gosh, the Main Character Is Dead!? So, When Do They Come Back? |
![]() Well, I dunno about the book but the movie implied he was brought back because God did it. | Gosh, the Main Character Is Dead!? So, When Do They Come Back? |
![]() a la Dragon Ball Z. | Gosh, the Main Character Is Dead!? So, When Do They Come Back? |
![]() I actually really hate it when characters resurrect in anything. The only exception was Gandalf and I made that exception in spite of my usual standards. I despise DBZ for that reason. I can’t stand resurrection freely handed out just because. | Gosh, the Main Character Is Dead!? So, When Do They Come Back? |
![]() Well, they didn’t really know they were aliens until later, in the heat of more intense parts. No time to show alarm. | Lilo and Stitch: The Seven Standards of Disney |
![]() And Nani is a major pain for Lilo 😀 | Lilo and Stitch: The Seven Standards of Disney |
Eh… if it is, it’s not part of the Disney movie. I never saw any such ending.
