FILLER EPISODERS

Filler Episodes are the episodes in which nothing happens to affect the progress of the long-term story arcs or to develop the main characters, and no returning side characters, or other significant persons (other than the main characters), appear.

These are also sometimes made to take some time for the original manga to create new chapters.
