Yes, there are many things I should be working on instead of this, but it was too funny, and I had to post it before I forgot. XP So, anyone who's watched any anime – though my inspiration was Naruto Shippuden – will agree that there are too many gawddamned filler arcs, am I right? It's especially annoying with where the Shippuden anime is at right now, because I've read the manga and am caught up with it, and I'm only watching the anime to see the animated versions of each of the arcs I know are coming up, particularly one of them, which just so happens to be the one that's next in line to happen. And so, because I'm anticipating it, what do the animators do? "Okay, time for a crapload of really bad fillers!" Of course, now they're going to finally get back to plot next week. Yay!
And thus, this song was born.
This is, as the summary says, a parody of Michael Jackson's song "Thriller", and though I've based it largely on Naruto Shippuden, it can very likely go for most animes out there, including (so I'm told, though I haven't yet watched enough to know for sure) Bleach. Some of the lyrics of the original song are left untouched, and if that's true, then it's only because they fit so incredibly well. I've tried as hard as I can to make it all rhyme, but there are probably a couple places that I didn't manage to work that in, so just bear with me, okay? Enjoy, everybody!
Filler Arc
Close to another arc,
But something evil's lurking in their minds.
The animators
Have sent a filler sneaking up behind
You start to scream
But anger takes the sound before you make it.
You start to freeze
As the pictures start to flash before your eyes
You're paralyzed!
'Cause it's a filler!
Filler arc!
Somebody save my eyeballs
From the crap that's on the screen
You know it's filler!
Filler arc!
You fight for mental health
'Cause of the killer
Filler
This week.
The vid is loaded,
You realize there's no time left to think.
You will be shown it,
The episode will leave you on the brink.
You close your eyes
And hope that this is just imagination
But all the while,
You hear the filler music on the screen
Wants to be seen!
'Cause it's a filler!
Filler arc!
At least the hero's safe,
Because he's vital to the plot
You know it's filler!
Filler arc!
You fight for mental health
'Cause of the
Killer
Filler
This week.
The lame villains crawl,
Original author just doesn't care.
'Cause he gets his money,
It's a fact of his life
(A billionaire)
Still, it is pissing you off!
They're out to get you
The animators know that you are mad
And they will torture you
They'll make you scream til you wish they were dead
Now is the time
For you and I to cuddle close together
All through the night
I'll save you from the terrors on the screen
I'll make you see
It's just a filler!
Filler arc!
And pretty soon the anime
Will get back to the plot!
Yes, it's a Filler!
Filler arc!
So let me hold you tight
And share a
Killer
Diller
Chiller
Filler
Here this week
It's just a filler!
Filler arc!
And pretty soon the anime
Will get back to the plot!
Yes it's a Filler!
Filler arc!
So let me hold you tight
And share a
Killer
Filler
Ow!
Darkness falls across the land
The filler arc is now at hand
Fans all crawl in search of blood
To murderize the writers (good!)
The lamest arc is on the air
Though fans will riot for many years
And animators far and wide
Will make sure no one takes your side.
And though you fight to not keep watching,
Your eyeballs start to shiver.
For no anime fan can resist
The evil of...the filler!
End
There, what do you think? I'd say it pretty much sums up the crap we loyal fans have to go through. XP I hope you all liked it, please review!
