	'''{{wp\|Filler (media)\|Filler}} episodes''' are used by anime and other TV shows to extend the time between the individual {{wp\|plot point}}s of the major {{wp\|story arc}}s, or between the end of one major story arc and the beginning of another. The animators may simply make filler for fun, or because they have an idea for a one-shot. A filler episode is one in which nothing happens to affect the progress of the long-term story arcs or to develop the main characters, and no returning side characters, or other significant persons (other than the main characters), appear. They do not further the story ~~and are usually not worth watching~~.

	Any episode during a '''filler arc''' may also sometimes be described as a filler episode. A filler arc is a storyline (often, though not always, shorter than the regular arcs) in which, over a number of episodes, an adventure is detailed that is unrelated, or tangential, to the main story arc(s); often, the filler arc adventure does not derive from the original source material. Episodes in which permanent changes or character development occur can happen during a filler arc.		Any episode during a '''filler arc''' may also sometimes be described as a filler episode.
