How to use the filler checker
Search for a series to open its filler list. You get the filler percentage, every episode range grouped by type and a filler-free watch order you can copy. Tick episodes as you watch, or mark everything up to an episode in one go.
We never guess. Classifications come from MyAnimeList’s flags or from editor-verified lists with cited sources. MAL flags only mark filler and recap episodes, so where a verified list doesn’t exist yet, the remaining episodes appear as “canon (not flagged)” rather than being split into manga canon and anime canon.
Frequently asked questions
What counts as filler?
Filler episodes tell stories that aren’t in the original manga or novel, often added when the anime caught up with its source. Recap episodes mostly replay earlier scenes.
Where does the filler data come from?
From MyAnimeList’s per-episode filler and recap flags, refreshed regularly. When AnimeSparks editors verify a more detailed list (manga canon, anime canon, mixed), that list is used instead and its sources are shown.
Why isn’t every anime listed?
Lists exist for series with at least a dozen episodes and published episode data. Shorter shows rarely have filler.
Does it remember what I’ve watched?
Yes. Tick episodes, or mark everything up to an episode number. Progress is stored in this browser only.
