Dragon Ball and Z filler lists?

Post by sangofe » Mon Aug 01, 2011 3:56 pm

Hello, I wonder if there's a list for DB and DBZ anime episodes? I know a lot of filler's put into episodes so you can't really skip episodes, but some you can... Garlic Jr. saga is a good example, but I'm more unsure about DB, though.

We have our woefully-incomplete "Filler Guide" here on the site. I know Rach did a bunch more episodes than what I have up there, and they'll get added in due time (probably as part of a larger project which'll likely wait until next year).

Wasn't there an official filler guide in one of the anime daizenshuu?
I think it was the 10th Daizenshuu it was featured in.

I'd love this, but if you're familiar with the manga you can pretty much tell.

Despite popular belief, even Dragon Ball has a LOT of filler episodes and aspects in the mainline story episodes that are very much filler. However unlike Z they never had "filler arcs." I see people all the time cite Dragon Ball as having a severe lack of fillers, but everytime I watch the anime I see it all over the place.

But a filler guide would really be good for the people that refuse to engross themself in the manga.

Well that's not necessarily true, off the top of my head I can think of three: The Goku-Chi Chi wedding dress arc, the Pre 22nd Tenkaichi Budoukai solo training arc and a lot of the episodes which showcase Mr. Popo training Goku for the 23rd Tenkaichi Budoukai.

I wasn't aware those were arcs...I've always just considered those standalone filler episodes to be honest, but making arcs out of them make sense. I just never really heard of them be referred to as that way.

I'm currently reading the manga, and I'm on the start of the Namek saga, and I have to say, from my memory I actually really liked the DB fillers, apart the wedding shit. The solo training, mr popo training, holy water training with karin were all pretty sweet.
