#this is just a filler episode but still

I'm going to go off about some random filler episode that's supposedly at least somewhat Deidara centric, because...????
Shippuden ep 457 "Partners"
Right off the bat. Deidara's voice is....so deep. I was a little surprised because I haven't properly heard it in so long
(my timestamps are broken so...it's not exact.)
3:03 his height difference with Pein is surprising... You'd never really notice how short he is unless you looked into it. Really, Deidara has quite the aura.
4:04 Although I LOVE his half up half down hairstyle, I also loved his low ponytail. Realistically, it doesn't make sense for him to just switch up his style like that, he coulda kept it for a little longer, you know?...but they don't really care, I'd think so. (but for the fact that we see him tying his hair up, which is pretty pretty, it's forgivable you know)
(Timestamp inexact) For a few seconds in the overhead frame where they overlook the sand disc, I notice that Deidara is now wearing his socks. This is set in the past, so Dei wore beige "khakis" and sandals instead of the classic dark desaturated blue pants with matching "ninja shoes" with those.... Socks that have a stripe going OVER the shoe. So in this shot, he's supposed to be wearing his old clothes. It's not like he could just go "Hey wait here Danna, I'm going to go change my pants." (Which is weird and out of character, I should also mention that he already calls Sasori "Danna" despite having met him just today, which means Sasori has done NOTHING to earn Deidara's respect just yet. The disgrace.)
Also, Why'd they send the new kid out for the important mission of "take down the rogue member of our group"? To be fair, Dei has spark. Power. And they know that, but...? Oh, gee. It's a filler episode...
Somewhere around 5:20 Deidara opened up his cloak to reach out for clay. There are so many errors in these few frames? First of all, his nails ARE NOT supposed to be painted black yet! Why, did they just stop along the road, halting their important mission to get his nails done? Ludicrous. My attention is pointed to his clay pouch since he was reaching for that, and the chain dangling between said pouch and the belt is missing. At least they remembered that he had only one pouch on his left side at the time. He still has the bottom half of his cute kimono jacket but... It's that dark, desaturated blue like his new outfit. And he has the crop top and mesh undershirt above the belt now so HUH????? They didn't forget his new, shiny ring but they did forget the consistency of his clothing and... It's just kinda sad. Feels bad for the animators.
I should also mention that within the frame, his front hair fwips and flows, exposing his other eye sometimes. Though there isn't anything drawn there, which is fine enough, but in the next few frames when he turned to look at Sasori to his right, Deidara SUDDENLY has his eye scope even though at that point, he was fresh in and probably didn't develop it yet. (Okay but I kinda found it endearing how enthusiastic he was to perform his art.)
Somewhere in 5:30 something, Deidara's face is a lil derpy which is cute
Orochimaru appears. Knows Deidara immediately, calls him a kid which Deidara's opposes to. Look...orochi is like... A grandpa compared to him, so, that's fair enough to say, isn't it?
Sasori sent Deidara to go lookout, which Deidara looked annoyed about. Sasori said that Deidara, unless he had any grudges, wouldn't have any reason to fight the snake man. Which, fair. At that point, he probably held nothing against...but he looked and sounded miffed about it. Maybe just because he wants to preform his art and not because of a mysterious grudge? I don't know. This is a filler.
...well crap I ran out of image slots. Here's to hoping your imagination still works because I AM NOT DONE!
Sasori is fighting using a dead guy's corpse, Orochi summons said dead guy from the grave, Deidara looks somehow cute looking down from above. But he's also supposed to be handsome...hmmph.
Dang. Feels bad for the third Kazekage over there.
NOOO THE IRON SAND RAINED UP AT DEI AND ended up destroying the wing of his ride somehow...? He's coming crashing down.... Poor guy.
9:00 Deidara is raining explosives! Not much to comment.
In the subsequent scene, he's descending FAST into the ground. Which means you can catch his eye scope EVEN IF HES NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE IT YET
He's...getting a nice chance to shine, even if it's futile. Go, go Dei.
"After you two die, I'll resurrect you both in the same way."
...
Well...not you though, snake.
Gee, the Kazekage really has it rough being Sasori's puppet and Orochimaru's pawn at the same time.
5:48 something Dei's flock of creations are being sent after Orochimaru www, he gets to have his scene and his signature line is said! "Art is... An explosion!" And sounds so enthusiastic too!~ so glad he's happy here, blowing up the sand disc thing....
...though there is one thing to mention. And it's that his ring, though on the correct hand and finger, is on the upper part of his finger just under the nail for some reason.
Man, that explosion was so dramatic.
Heh, everyone's having a holographic zoom meeting. No comment here... Well, one. Deidara. He's very cute there.
Oh. Second half. Hidan's there. I find it funny how he has a modern day jacket as his original fit... Either that or he hasn't got a top on. Inconsistencies. I much prefer the jacket though.
Now....many a minutes later. 18:55. Deidara's there, fleeting cherry blossoms. Deidara's doing his thing, performing his art. He blows up a castle! He looks very happy, he's in his element, he's where he's supposed to be! I don't know what art makes him feel like...but it seems to be good.
Dei... always so flashy.
There isn't Deidara anymore, so, I'm signing out.
#this is just a filler episode but still#Deidara#naruto shippuden#akatsuki#i wrote this in four something in the moening im sorry#feels bad for the animators#at the very least#Deidara's good looking#never pause naruto you might just end up with an inconsistent character design#comeon. share your weird episode nitpicks too...or not?

I do wonder if people who used to constantly complain about "filler" are finally happy now if they're enjoying the state of television series or if they're now complaining that tv shows only have 8 episodes per season like the rest of us
#i say used to#theres still people who complain about filler#and when i say filler#i do just mean anything that doesn't move the plot along#which technically isnt filler#the term filler and filler episodes actually means something else#its meant to mean something that wasnt in the original manga#and pads out the anime so it doesn't catch up to the manga

Not to be all 'back in my day' but I think the problem with TV today is that shows don't get 100-200 episodes anymore.
#stargate#sg1#stargate sg1#stargate atlantis#sga#like idk i don't want to be able to watch an entire show in a weekend#unless it's still ongoing you know?#like i cannot think of a show in the last 10-15 years that has over 100 episodes#that's not a medical drama#those seem to be the only ones#or anime lol#i just really miss good long tv shows with filler episodes#it was the best

something stupid
#erzajane#erza scarlet#mirajane strauss#fairy tail#kind of irrelevant thought#i just think there should be a filler episode#where everyone in fairy tail tries to bother mira until she SNAPS#and erza is the one who finally gets her to#idk something about erza probably knowing how to rile mira up still#despite the fact they no longer hate each other#is weirdly intimate#is it gay to only open up to one person outside of your family as you beat the shit out of each other#no?#darn…#yapfest#kibidoodle

Fighting DEMONS rn trying not to get invested in one piece to figure out wtf you're posting about!!!!
come here cyber.... we have this thang
#mp answers#i've been trying so hard not to be annoying to my bnha friends but if you will allow me to push this for this ask let me say 🙏#if you're afraid of the episode count for one piece the manga is a lot quicker read while being just as enjoyable because the art style is#an actual delight. its great its fantastic im absolutely in love with it#the series is soooo good and i know luffy can seem unappealing to people before they start but he's just SUCH a great character & continues#to be even now. the story is SO GOOD the characters are SO GOOD... theres so much lore and world building that its insane#if you read the manga we get 'cover stories' on what's going on with previous characters to see what theyre up to even though we moved on#from where we left them. a lot of these cover stories blend into the main story so well its just seamless#there's one where we get introduced to a character we dont see hundreds of episodes into the anime and they show up like; during the second#saga. the series is about traveling to other islands and every single arc has been tied to another in some way or form that shows up later#even if its sagas and sagas later- it still becomes relevant again!! it's a huge ongoing story and there isnt a single arc that feels like#it has no purpose (sans filler in the anime-but even then!! some filler arcs are really entertaining!)#it's emotional! its sad! its downright stupid and silly but GOD... you can feel the love that oda put into this series and his characters#and the emotions in the expressions and the messages the story gives off it just makes me UEUHGHHAHGHH!!!#it's all about the adventure and the romance of it all! its about the freedom it brings and bringing freedom to others!#its a series where treasure should be a focus given its pirates and the its a giant treasure hunt for the one piece and yet! and yet so man#of the characters treasures are things that are not coins and gems but people and promises and family and and#im going to EXPLODE i love one piece

Seriously peeps, how can I feel mad with all that perfection that was given to us?
This episode had a lot of little things that made it so enjoyable, even if it felt shorter.
First off, we feel Chopper getting attacked by Xiono's racist assumption towards droids which was both funny, and something I'm sure that ended up with us wanting our droid kick that insensitive mofo's ass.
C-3PO making his appearance in the Mandoverse at Leia's behest, backing up Hera during her trial.
Ahsoka slowly learning her final lesson as she trained.
MORE General Skywalker, even tho it was holographic.
SABEZRA MARRIED COUPLE VIBES WITH THEIR INTERACTIONS AND ARGUEMENTS!!
OUR SPACE KIDS KICKING ASS TOGETHER AGAIN!!!
#i can go on and on over why i enjoyed this episode#but these are the highlights for me#with some honorable mentions being ahsoka hugging ezra#and thrawn being the mighty tacticool badass that he is#this felt positively filler imo#and it was just *CHEFS KISS*#ahsoka spoilers#ahsoka series#star wars ahsoka#ahsoka speculation#ezra bridger#sabine wren#ahsoka tano#hera syndulla#c-3po#thrawn#sabezra#ezrabine#nobody can argue with me on this#still one more episode BUT STILL#this may already be a new fav of mine

I take it that people calling Invincible Fight Girl slow have either never watched anime or only watch shows that are on streaming services.
#Invincible Fight Girl#the pace is just fine#why do people want things to move so fast?#let things breathe#let things have filler episodes/beach episodes#let seasons be 20+ episodes long#I've got adhd and I'm still disappointed by how consumers are just going along with the 8/10 episode model for tv/animation#I get it for hour long programs but 20-30 minute long shows???#I want things to slow down every once in a while

"Stan favors Mabel and Ford Dipper" WRONG!!!
#We see them interact less due to their personalities.#Mabel is attracted to Stan much quicker#due to her nature of getting on other's good sides and wanting to be friends#as well as outgoing.#While Dipper was still unsure about his feelings of this for all intents and purposes stranger#Mabel would have squeezed her way into his life already. Dipper is not good with people#and insecure#so he takes Stan's jabs seriously just like he does with Mabel. Mabel and Stan have a love language#that include a few insults that have no real feelings in it.#He wouldn't catch on and participate or (depending on when) tell him straight up he doesn't like it.#Dipper is in it for the mysteries and locks himself up while focusing on it. It's on his mind the entire show.#Ford wasn't meant to talk to the kids. He was even avoiding Dipper until an accident happened and he got caught up in the game of ddmd.#Not to mention that the episodes almost always contribute to the story#even filler ones. They may not progress the plot but they will reveal sides of characters or show them growing or changing.#Ford was in it so little that they needed to squeeze the most out of the time which led to little Mabel and him filler.#He didn't have any problems with Mabel unlike how Dipper had some problems with Stan so that wasn't an issue to address#they love each other ur honor#gravity falls#my ramblings

Contemplating the idea of finally giving the bleach anime another chance
#just saw that it has nearly 400 episodes (FOUR HUNDRED) which almost gave me a heart attack. in my memory it had way less episodes#because I probably only watched up to ep 50 or something#anyway.#apparently there is lots of fillers to skip (45%?) so it's only around 200 eps for me to watch#still. god that's so many episodes wtf#personal

I feel Clone X being Cody would be as emotional as it possible being Tech, because... the last time Crosshair saw Cody, they were fighting side by side. And Cody protected and helped Crosshair during the time, when all other regs ignored him.
Having Cody/Clone X call Crosshair out on "You could have been one of us" also has a double meaning of him trying to make Crosshair see the other side from S2.
I know people want it to be Tech and it probably is, but gods, having him be killed off and then brainwashed and revealed at what is gonna be the way mid/late part of the series is... oof. Especially since I doubt they'd kill him off AGAIN as a mercy kill because he's too brainwashed. That means he'd need to be helped back to normal again and there won't be enough time to handle that properly in the show.
But the latter is a problem in the series for sure; too many important things happen off screen and are often solved within one episode. The show isn't allowed to breathe and take things slow.
(Cody being revealed as having been brainwashed is of course bad too but like it or not, he's not one of the main characters of the show. Rex having to deal with a brainwashed Cody could very well be what forces him into retirement.)
Just my two cents.
And why is Echo ALWAYS sidelined in this show?!
#maybe they were too fed up with people calling everything filler in s2 and decided to always move the plot forward now#i really miss the old series where there was like 22 episodes at least in a season; and fillers ARE important#the bad batch#tbb season 3#tbb critical#tbb spoilers#i love tech; he's my fave character but at this rate I don't think his return can be done in a satisfying way#like yeah sure theyre soldiers and handling things this and that way; but it's still a tv show; the AUDIENCE needs to see these things#you cant just hide everything between episodes and pretend its fixed afterwards

the dash got me mourning what ted lasso could’ve been,,,,
#FILLER EPSSSSSS#I think they needed a full episode set in the clubhouse#maybe they spend the night and have slumber party#but also maybe they still are worried it’s haunted#And beard is there flickering lights on and off and hiding just bc he’s bored so he’ll convince them of ghosts he’s seen roaming the halls

Natalie’s episode where she finally addresses the generational trauma and unhealthy relationship with her mom hit me so hard. “I feel like everyone’s mad at me all the time. I ask people if they’re alright way too much. if someone starts to feel sick, I feel sick. made myself sick to make you feel better” I really felt that. The way we see how her being the strong one, the way she seems to have it together unlike her brothers but her trauma responses are less apparent and are going overlooked, because she’s trying to fix everyone else at the expense of herself. It isn’t a good thing or a healthy thing and no it is not “so sweet” that you take care of people at the expense of yourself. Nat acknowledges that but it’s hard to stop that natural instinct you have to help everyone around you. To burn yourself out trying keep everyone everyone else warm.
#nat is breaking the cycle but she is still a little broken herself#i related to her so much in this episode and people who think the episode was just a boring filler missed the point#natalie berzatto#the bear#nat berzatto

the “born to be a winner” pokemon opening is so interesting to me. fun fact: iirc, this is the only english dub opening that has its own original animations, rather than just being a mixup of the original japanese animation! so western audiences were actually introduced to characters like clair before the original japanese audience!
and yet. it still pulls some clips from the show? which is interesting to me? maybe they couldn’t afford new animation for certain bits and didn’t feel like pulling from the original japanese opening (which it also pulls from) for those parts?
idk. it’s so fascinating to me, this opening is an enigma to me. this is also the only interesting thing about the “johto league champions” season.
youtube
#no seriously why is THIS the only season to get this treatment. its literally a contender for worst pokeani season to me#its so mindnumbingly boring and has some baffling episode choices and its just the worst of boring johto filler#i mean ig its cool that its got a good opening to make up for that but still#echoed voice#Youtube

I have a big google doc thing where I keep track of media and stuff (putting everything in loosely ranked categories), which is mostly just for my own reference so I know what tv shows I've already seen before, etc. and I never really look back through it, typically just a quick "okay, watched two movie in the past 8 months, need to quickly slap them somewhere in the lists. okay. done. save document. exit". But today I was actually reading through some of the old notes and there are like... MULTIPLE places where my comment is basically "It would have been good if it were about elves" or "I wish there was a fantasy show made in this same style" or "It's well made, but I just keep thinking about how I would like it more if everyone was an elf or was in old 1700s costumes" or etc like...... lol.... Most biased media ranking system on earth blatantly made by someone with an extremely hyperspecific range of narrow interests. It'd be like if a food reviewer only had 5 foods they actually liked, so they'd just go to a pizza place and be like "eh, the pizza was okay, but I just think it would be better if it was cereal instead. :/ ...2 out of 10"
#Which.. I mean... I am allowed to be biased because literally it's just for my own personal reference (or occasionall#y to send to friends or something if we're discussing the topic) so like.. nowhere am I saying 'I am the god of perfect taste and these#rankings are objectively the absolute truth and everyone should have my same opinion' or anything#BUT still.. it's funny to me sometimes#'Succession would be 100x better if it had the same cast/character quirks and shaky camera style and#acting choices/weird dialogue and general concept etc. EXCEPT it takes place within an elven noble family or something#managing the family business and everyone is in fantasy costumes now'' like.....okay...... but it's NOT that way..soo... thats not the show#''I like the acting style/general tone of Fleabag but i don't care for any of the characters or any of the subject matter and I wish it was#set in the 1800s and had vampires and was about magic instead'' okay..... again... you are making up an entirely new show in that case lol#OR my other beloved typical complaint ''The concept is good but theres too much plot and action and not enough people just sitting#around doing nothing and exposition dumping world and character lore'' ''this needs more goofy sideplots and filler episodes''#''this Drama was too dramatic I think it should be more lighthearted & people need to sit around doing nothing just being weird more often'#''the Action Movie was ok except for the action scenes - which I skipped through all of- but I liked the costumes and worldbuilding'' etc.#ERM sorry your plot has too much plot. also elves have to be included somehow. bye#BUT SERIOUSLY!!!!!! I literally genuinely believe that any show I like (or even dislike) could ALWAYS be improved greatly by#putting people in fantasy or historical costume/setting/etc... why the FUNK would I want to see bland jeans and cars and cell phones#when I could see elaborate velvet cloaks and fantastical landscapes and interior design and innovative takes on historical or#magical technology or etc. etc. etc. I LIVE in the modern day. I see it all the time!!! BORING! stinky!! boo!!!#ANYWAY... another social divide for me.. People love to bond by discussing media. which is hard when I'm like#'I literally will not watch something at all unless it fits into one of these 10 extremely specific categories which are all i care about i#the entire world''.. I say this and yet I still dislike most fantasy or historical things I've watched lol. ok TWO main criteria then!!#it must 1. be in a different world or time period. 2. be goofy silly. Nothing ever has BOTH. It's always overly serious boring drama action#fantasy/history stuff OR it's comedic lighthearted but with modern day characters... WHY.. anguish and woe and so on..#ANYWAY jhjnk... at least I can make that divide. Some people seem to project their own personal preferences and get really emotionally#defensive if you say you didn't like something - as if the fact that they DO like it is some Objective Truth or something rather than just#opinion/preference based. I can still easily say ''this is well made/well written/acted/good in a technical sense/has a lot of#points of appeal that most people would be drawn to/etc'' and admit that it's a GOOD show probably. I just PERSONALLY think its#bad because my tastes are very narrow. Some things ARE actually made badly but. things are not bad INHERENTLY just bc they dont suit ME lol#Better to recognize/accept whats odd about you and be peacefully aware of it than just being mad at everyone all the time for not fully#agreeing with you even when you're the one with the Weird opinion in that case lol.. I am right though :3 but.. lol... still. i get it
