No, I know what a harem is, but I've never heard of a "harem term".

What is a "visual novel"? Is it different than a comic?
The biggest truths aren't original. The truth is ketchup. It's Jim Belushi. Its job isn't to blow our minds. It's to be within reach.

watch amagami anime. Fate stay night series
That is visual novel
It's different than comic because it has tons of route since the get go and all canon.

IT has tons of canon route since the get go because it's the original source. One source tons of route and ending.

I'm at a loss. You use the term "visual novel" and I've never heard of it. What is the definition of a visual novel?

Regardless, while they aren't visual novels, all sorts of things like that are adapted, such as video games, books, comics, graphic novels, and novels. All adhere to their source material to varying degrees. The fundamentals still apply.

I understand you don't understand and don't want to understand japanese terms and want to use confusing terms that's very vague and confusing to anybody. I'm done here.

The term is not confusing nor is it vague. Filler is material that is added to the story to FILL up time. How is that vague or confusing?

So we're back in circle.
Question, Do you even haves 100% certainty where episode filler where it is not? If not you're confusing people obviously. and i felt this discussion has become so much dragging this is like the discussion get back from the start of the conversation.

Yes, in many cases I do know for certain. With Dragon Ball, anything not in the manga is filler. In American TV, a standalone episode like on X-Files is filler as opposed to the mythology episodes. They fulfill the same criterion - to fill up time. There are some cases where it's not so clear or up to opinion if the material is filler/padding.

So you're admitting you're confusing people. You can only fill your headcannon as individual fake author to determine which one is filler which on is not with very subjective criteria. Yes you're confusing All the people by your headcanon criteria with has tons of possible outcome and very loose definition.

How is that in any way an admission or confusing? What are you talking about with headcanon? Until someone else has anything constructive to add, I'm politely bowing out.

IF one people said this episode is filler and one other said it's not. Your definition is very loose that those two choices answer cannot be determined ever. This is obvious and logical
Yes you're going in circle keep trying to do so and this is very stupid, so i'm out.
