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

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

now ive finished the series im actually going to go on record and say im pretty sure if you enjoyed the owl house or amphibia you'll like jentry chau vs the underworld (its on netflix). it starts a little slow with high school shit but it picks up FAST and gets crazy. honestly felt like a lot more than one season of content in 13 half hour episodes. also its just fucking gorgeous and the music is amazing. and some of the characters suck morally in a way stuff in its bracket can be afraid to do which is fun

#words and things #jentry chau #ill reiterate it's not gay (centered) tho there are queer characters #and there is definitely body horror from the demons and possession but its cartoony due to. being a cartoon #also full disclosure i only watched like eight episodes of TOH and none of amiphib but i live with people who watched them lol #so i know what their overall arc and vibe was and saw some of it in passing #also clearly i wasnt that into either show & i still liked this i just think if you Did like those shows it's really likely youll like this #this show has exactly 0 filler episodes something is happening at all times lmao #the filler stuff being unappealing to me in TOH and SU is what made me drop off those shows #dont get me wrong there *is* a time and place for filler but *their* filler just didnt appeal to me personally #even if i liked where it was going overall it just made it easy for me to lose motivation for them yknow #and i think if jentry chau had filler like that it would be the same for me

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

Just a little thought I had about the finale.. I know the teaser feels like it’s just another silly episode without much plot or character development, BUT, I’m holding out hope. IF Nandermo were to become canon, or the Guide were to have an actual satisfying arc, or the documentary crew were to become important, (insert other plot-line that needs a conclusion,) etc. etc.. They definitely wouldn’t allude to any of it in the teaser.

The teasers never prepare you for the big plot stuff, in fact, FX seems to go out of their way to make every episode seem super normal before it airs. The past two (9 and 10), as well as Nandor’s army, were teased to be the usual light-hearted, fun episodes. But we got a lot of huge plot moments in those episodes! The teaser for Sean’s episode this season didn’t remotely imply anything about Lazlo and Nandor having to cope with the fact that humans die. That episode got pretty heavy, despite the trailer making it look like we were just going to be following around this demon and watching the vamps struggle to un-possess Sean.

And, not to mention, the teasers aren’t even 20 seconds long.

SO, if you’re feeling pessimistic because of the direction the season has taken, I totally get it. But ffs, don’t take the teaser too seriously. I guarantee a lot more is going to happen than just Monster-bride search and crime-fighting in stupid outfits.

#and if nothing else we at least know for sure the Guide is going to be in this episode #that’s a win I think #I’m still nervous as fuck #but they wouldn’t just air a filler episode as the show’s big finale #wwdits #teaser #wwdits season 6 #wwdits spoilers #nandermo thoughts #wwdits finale

From a fanfic-writing perspective, One Piece is incredibly frustrating on a few counts.

The first is that... One Piece is actually pretty damn good, as far as stories go. So trying to nudge it into something "better" is pretty much a lost cause overall.

The second is that One Piece has this huge and incredible world that's filled with lots and lots of things... that we never see. As in, outside of the very local environment of the Strawhats, the world is incredibly vast and largely empty.

Basically? Because of OP's good story-telling, it's really difficult to really add someone new to the Strawhat-crew. But because everything outside of the Strawhats are both incredibly unknown (in the Grand Line anything can happen) and incredibly disconnected (the world is too big for people to really stumble into the plot "accidentally" with any frequency)?

Trying to write a non-Strawhat fanfic is a bit like just... inventing an entirely new world of vaguely pirate-themed shenanigans from scratch. It ain't fucking easy, is basically what I'm saying.

#this rant is brought to you by -> me poking at WaifuCollector again. trying to create a character who could do something #interesting SOMEWHERE. and coming up with a really fun power-set and character-quirks that could be really fun #only to realize that part of what makes the power-set and character-quirk so much fun is that they're entirely independent #as in - i effectively gave them a submarine that's going to bitch at them constantly. and superpowers to curb-stomp most things #so they'd be two completely deranged lunatics sailing around in the grand-line underwater - randomly popping up out of nowhere #causing chaos and destruction and confusion about what the fuck their deal is. before disappearing over the horizon again #still bitching at each other about things that makes no sense to anyone else. and might maybe possibly be a sex-thing? maybe?#just... this could be so much fun. please. why do i have to stare out into the infinite void that is OP's non-Strawhat world?#please just write this for me so that i can cackle about it. i don't want to have to try and figure out what they're actually doing.#... actually... maybe if i switch the pov once the initial dynamic and background has been established #switch it to the poor bastards trying to make any kind of sense of what they're doing. possibly including filler-episode Strawhats #where they basically spot Luffy. immediately start to bicker about something. then wade off into the sea like they're trying to swim #to the next island instead of sticking around. just... yes. i think i could maybe do something... hmm...#laughing #one piece #writing #stories

#ultimate obscure blorbo #polls #Round II #Hendrickson Seven Deadly Sins #The Seven Deadly Sins #Ok so fun story tangent #You know how when you are a kid you don't really have a sense of quality? Cause for me as a kid that was just that I had fun watching any #anime. regardless of quality #So I watched Seven Sins season 1 and quite enjoyed it. And when I went on Netflix one day and saw there was a season 2 I got hyped #and then I watched it and the “season 2” was like 4 filler episodes #So when the real season 2 came around I was already burned and that led to me realizing something about Deadly Sins.#It sucks #And it was the very first anime I ever acknowledged as being BAD #Which for reference at the time I still thought SAO was good so that should put in perspective how much I think this anime sucks #Henry Division #Paradise Killer

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

“Well, my interest is certainly piqued.” In the ancient puzzle game of horrors or in Phee, Tech? Both? It’s both, isn’t it.

#the bad batch #entombed #this is another super underrated episode #frankly I think a lot of season two is slept on #because a lot of it got categorized as ‘filler’ pretty quickly.#because I think people decided Crosshair was the plot at one point #season two is amazing #also just for clarification I actually think the potential for Tech and Phee to end up together is still out there #because I don’t think Tech is dead #I really don’t

Totally random Digimon thought, but I feel like one of my more minor gripes ( which I have a number of, despite it being my favorite season ) with Tamers is that I kinda wish they gave a bit more time for Beelzemon to go off the deep end, and actually showed it.

We mostly just got shots of him riding around, and that one scene of killing Chrysalimon/Infermon, but I think it we had a few more scenes where he's rampaging across the Digital World, destroying Digimon, it'd be a bit more effective. Maybe have him go after some he could've otherwise left alone, something weaker, due to him slowly losing his shit, and show a bit more of his general mental state, etc..

Nothing much, even just a few extra scenes of him doing anything but driving would've been nice, though. Otherwise he just kinda does nothing at all for episodes after evolving lol.

#Tamers suffers from pacing issues in general a bit lol #and random plot jumps #yes I know it's been re-written and all but still #they either needed a few more extra episodes #or could've gotten rid of some minor fillers here and there #I think some of the run time could've been used a bit more effectively to benefit all characters and story #text post #digimon tamers #I just finished rewatching 02 while being dead from the flu for days lol

What do you think devious duo or parrot doing?

Honestly? No idea. I've been pondering this, but I can't really tell you exactly what I think they might be up to.

Devious duo are probably just fooling around, just doing silly things. Maybe the carrot civilization is real, who knows... I hope Minute is still with them, though. <3

Parrot, judging by the ending of his POV, might be actually searching for stuff regarding the Director?? Seems like a very plausible thing for him to quickly get on the case of it. At least that would be consistent with his character, I think.

Honestly, I want Parrot to just be doing... nothing. I want him to sit back for once and give himself time to grieve, to finally have a chance acknowledge how many losses he went through.

#☆ inbox .#those are just my thoughts i guess #i am curious and im very patiently waiting for the other s2 povs #i wonder if we will also get small filler episodes like wemmbu's #i still hope we might be starting to get shorter videos in smaller periods of time but probably not #im excited for season 2 though!

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!!!
