Naruto, Sakura, and Sai from the Konoha Eleven in Naruto Shippuden

Naruto is synonymous with filler, but it also shows why filler isn't necessarily a bad thing. The anime premiered in 2002, long before seasonal releases became the norm for successful shōnen. The weekly-release format was initially popularized by Dragon Ball, and it dominated for decades. Some series like One Piece still use it. A weekly-release anime eventually catches up with the source material, and filler prevents resulting gaps in airtime to keep fans satisfied and willing to return.

Related 10 Best Naruto Filler Episodes That Actually Improve The Series While many criticize Naruto for its many filler episodes, there are some that – shockingly – improve upon the original series. Meanwhile, Naruto Shippuden's"Paradise on the Ship" accomplishes this differently, giving characters like Guy and Yamato a much-needed spotlight. The filler, like the characters themselves, tackles the arduous path of temporarily setting sail far away from Konoha and its comforts.

1 Naruto Shippuden's Infinite Tsukuyomi filler blends seamlessly with the source material's initial dream sequences. Unfortunately, it doesn't show the same restraint. Across 23 episodes, only four characters' dreams are explored. Although Tenten, Tsunade, and Killer Bee's dreams have endearing bright spots, they're underwhelming. Tsunade's dream also lasts far too long, overstaying its welcome to trudge through Jiraiya's book.
