![]() While there are good queer characters, I don’t see enough of them, and I’d hate to see progress in media representation stopping because heteronormative society thinks it’s already good enough. I definitely wouldn’t say there is “plenty” of positive representation, especially in anime. “As for having queer people who are villains, there are also plenty who are heroes or simply background characters.” Anime has villains who are queer, or Chinese, or Christian, or anything else, but also heroes who are also any of the above? I call that a good thing. It’s a question of fair standards held equally across the board. “Never associate a queer person with something unsavory” is about as sensible as demanding the same for Chinese characters – which, the Chinese government do exactly that – or the same for Christian characters – and there are so many examples of so-called Christian villains in the media, but do you see us getting butthurt over it, or do you see us denouncing such villains as un-Christlike? If you have a problem with anime having both good and bad characters who are queer, including those who are pedophiles, then it seems to me that you are demanding favoritism of the worst sort. They are always portrayed as good, upstanding people and victims of hate and prejudice. Meanwhile, in the West, across cartoons, television shows, movies, comics, and more, there are hardly any villainous queer characters at all. That said, I do wish they would freaking cut it out with the accidental intimate touching of any kind.Īs for having queer people who are villains, there are also plenty who are heroes or simply background characters. The innocent guy who does it by accident is also generally given some violent consequence for it, and this is supposed to be seen as funny. Sexual assault is deliberate, and it is generally framed as something bad, complete with violent comeuppance. When it’s literally an accident for the character to grab a boob, that’s not sexual assault. Since the series is known for its intricate plotlines and mysteries, the anime has faced criticism for its momentum-breaking fillers.I agree with most of this, but a couple points of order: The longest detective series, Detective Conan has an INSANE 440 filler episodes, out of its 1039 episodes. 1) Detective Conan: 440 Filler Episodes (out of 1039) These fillers have been heavily criticized for being too irrelevant at times. These fillers usually expand on side characters, with some filler plot lines becoming their own arcs too! Out of the anime’s 720 episodes, 294 of the episodes are spoilers. Naruto is one of the most popular shonen anime, and perhaps the anime most known for its fillers! While the main story focuses on Ash’s journey to becoming a Pokemon Master, the fillers focus on world-building and simple sub-plots.įans have also criticized Pokemon fillers for slowing down the series. Pokemon, perhaps the most iconic anime franchise ranks third on this list! 3) Pokemon: 231 Filler Episodes (Out of 1085) The series was supposed to carry Naruto’s legendary legacy, however, it has tarnished it in the eyes of the majority of the fans, making it an infamous series.įurthermore, the conflicting power-scaling in the cannon and filler episodes of the anime had left fans bewildered at times, spawning multiple memes. The anime has 182 filler episodes, out of the series’ 245 episodes. While it hasn’t been many years since the Boruto anime premiered, it has already found itself on the fourth spot of the list. 4) Boruto: 182 Filler Episodes (Out of 245) Still, the Bleach anime has a dedicated fan base and is generally considered to be a great adaptation. Many fans have criticized these fillers for slowing down the momentum of the series and deviating from the main storyline. ![]() ![]() Again, nearly half of the anime is filler. The fillers have helped fans in developing a deeper bond with the extremely lovable Sailor Scouts, even if they don’t affect the main storyline! 5) Bleach: 164 Filler Episodes (Out of 366)īleach, one of the Big 3 anime is known for its supernatural power system and amazing characters.
