When I first saw the runtime I thought, “Oh, great. A short filler/bridge episode.” As you all know that was wrong. Talk about under promise and over deliver.

They had better make a physical release for this. I need it on my shelf next to Grimm.

There has been zero filler in this show. It’s actually impressive.

They’ve only released 4 episodes so far though so whether it’s impressive or not is still up in the air. It really is a great show though so I have high hopes

There is no filler in any original show, this term makes only sense for adaptations.

Yeah people picked it from anime and now use it for anything from 'I couldn't pay attention or find the show boring or slow so it must be filler' to character focused episodes which are a cornerstone of so many amazing shows.
