In an anime that is adapted from a manga series, '''filler''' generally refers to story content created specifically for that media that was not originally in the source material. This content often introduces original characters, but will generally not affect the main storyline following its conclusion. This most commonly occurs in ongoing anime adapted from a manga series when there is not enough source material ahead of time to be adapted into anime. | In an anime that is adapted from a manga series, '''filler''' generally refers to story content created specifically for that media that was not originally in the source material.

Certain anime series will often have a different ending to the manga's if the manga's run outlasts the production run of its anime. In terms of broadcast original media, filler can also refer to episodes or arcs that break up the continuing storyline, or small insignificant scenes that add to an episode's length. | Certain anime series will often have a different ending to the manga's if the manga's run outlasts the production run of its anime.
