How so? That is normal for any year long series. In fact, some series, like SHinkenger, have less than that. Hell, Go-Buster had only about 15 episodes that dealt with the plot. It is the same way with Kamen Rider. OUt of Black's 51 episodes only 17 have anything to do with its plot. Wizard only had a plot in about 12 episodes of its 51. Most GUndam series are the same way too. Sailor Moon's original anime only had about 16 episodes in its 46 run that were plot. That's just the way it is in Japan as that is what happens when a show is required to be 50ish episodes. Hell, in the five episodes I watched to ToQ, only the first one had anything to do with a plot. The rest were just filler.

Locke would agree with you on that with a page of text stating how western shows, which mostly come with fear of cancellation, do it better.

Well it's more about the journey than the destination. I don't care if Black and ToQGer are filler, hell some of the filler episodes are fucking awesome. Especially in something like Dragon Ball Z. I'm still enjoying Black and ToQGer right now and can't wait for more.

If I enjoy the fillers, as I did for example in Goseiger or Toqger, I'm totally fine with them. Long series without filler are pretty exhausting to watch anyway.

Yeah I think filler can be done well - GARO is a franchise practically built on standalone episodes but it works because GARO makes them so memorable. For every GARO, though, there is a show like Kyoryuger where you can skip like thirty episodes and get a better show for it.

Yes it does, because that is Japanese culture. That is how they do series. How many American TV shows even have a main plot? Not many. DC shows not withstanding, 90% of American shows aimed at kids are just random episodes with no over bearing story arc, especially in this day and age. Gone are the days of story driven shows like Gargoyles and Beast Wars and now is the era for random nonsense like Adventure Time and Regular SHow.

Yeah, there may be a load of random nonsense in Adventure Time but there's quite a lot of continuity too.
