I guess the question becomes -- is one watching a show to enjoy one's self, or is one watching it to have an authoritative opinion of the show?
If the viewer enjoys a show better without the episodes that don't advance the story -- and his priority is enjoyment -- I think skipping episodes is a very valid way to watch a series he otherwise wouldn't have enjoyed. If the viewer wants to have an authoritative opinion on the entirety of the show -- watching the complete product is obviously better. Keep in mind that almost all weekly TV shows -- especially ones aimed largely at children -- are designed to be enjoyed even if you miss an episode here or there. Sure, you may not get the entire experience, but you are getting a valid experience. I bristle at the suggestion that any one way to watch a show is "wrong," so long as the viewer enjoys himself. With me and Shinkenger, I don't think it's an outright bad show, but it's a very poorly paced one. That's a perspective that you can't have firsthand without drudging through the so-called filler of the show, which brings about the idea of having a full experience. Coming from someone who really enjoys the production side of things, I just think every episode should be given a fair shot due to the work that goes into it, with the caveat that it's within a show you either enjoy or see some sort of merit to. (there are shows I will watch just for the spectacle of whatever I feel might be going wrong) Which I guess goes back to what my stance on experiencing a show: firsthand lends itself to a more robust understanding of a show. (though I get that's not something everyone wants, but as a content creator myself, it's something ingrained into my thought process) Last edited by Aoi Kurenai; 02-24-2014 at 09:23 PM.. |

Most people assume me negative when I'm just critical. For me discussing what is wrong with a show reaps much more rewarding discussion than just 'it's good', I don't intend to come across as contrary but the internet has this weird mentality that to criticise something means you hate it.

Anyway, like I said earlier, Kyoryuger is one of those series that as very little filler. In fact, maybe 10 episodes of the entire show are true filler and they are so spread out that it really does not matter. |

Gaim hasn't had a single filler episode yet.
Well I've already skipped ten episodes of Kyoryuger, and have a lot more to skip yet, so this show has LOADS of filler.

Besides, comparing Rider and Sentai at that point is just not right. Sentai has a structure much different from Rider, basically because we have a team focus, while rider has a story focus. Kamen Rider has ONE character to undergo the most development within the story, which is the main rider. Most sidekicks or secondary riders don't have stories as fleshed out as the main rider, the exception is when those stories are linked, like Eiji and Ankh's in OOO. Sentai, however, has a team of characters that has to have about equal development and focus (depending on the author, of course, not all of them have the same amount of it, but that's still the idea behind it). The filler episodes in Sentai are usually character development episodes. For example, the cavity episode in Kyoryuger is basically the set-up for the friendship between Souji and Ian. At the same time, it introduces Ramirez and Ankydon, who are minor characters and thus don't have their own character episodes. Episode 11 was a character episode for Ucchi, who showed his true character in this one. This is also the episode that introduces his problem with women, which is used occasionally later in the show, for example in episode 32/33. We also have the origin of the name "Ucchi" in that one and some general introduction of his actual character traits that will appear throughout the rest of the show. People shouldn't expect the same pacing as in Kamen Rider for Super Sentai. The shows may have been written and invented by the same people, but they're still two different shows. |
