Message: [QUOTE="PrismRed, post: 53563, member: 131994"] It could technically. If I have to explain what a filler is, it would be 'a way to present a story to viewers, without changing the status-quo or narrative of the main plot' whether an episode could be considered a filler depends on it's capability at affecting the direction of the main story, it may be canon, it may not. I'd borrow your case for example, OG Gundam did have an episode where most of the major character hangs around, that would be when Amuro met Lalah and Char for the first time, while it is more lighthearted compared to the other episodes, it does serve a purpose later on when [SPOILER]Amuro accidentally killed Lalah, which justifies Char's reason on fighting Amuro.[/SPOILER] Now Imagine same situation from that episode without all the stakes and tension, you got [URL='https://myanimelist.net/manga/15018/Kidou_Senshi_Gundam-san']Mobile Suit Gundam-san[/URL]. So yeah, it pretty much depends on a lot of factor, the most important thing is whether the filler serve a purpose to how the story works in general. It doesn't always have to be unentertaining, I mean it cease to be a filler when done right, no? [/QUOTE]
