Hi, I’m Rachel (Dickinson) Brownhill, the creator of Naruto Shippuden Filler Guide.
I’m a British film, voiceover, anime, and theatre actress, and like many anime fans around the world, Naruto has been one of the stories that left a lasting impact on me. This website was created to help other viewers enjoy Naruto Shippuden in the most efficient and enjoyable way possible.
Why This Website Exists
If you’ve ever watched Naruto Shippuden from the beginning, you probably noticed something quickly — the series is incredibly long.
With 500 episodes, it can sometimes be difficult for new viewers to know which episodes are essential to the story and which ones are filler. Many fans want to focus on the main storyline without getting lost in episodes that don’t advance the plot.
That’s exactly why Naruto Shippuden Filler Guide was created.
This website provides clear and easy-to-follow guides that help viewers understand:
- Which Naruto Shippuden episodes are canon
- Which episodes are filler
- Which filler arcs are worth watching
- Where each episode fits within the overall story arcs
The goal is simple: help fans enjoy Naruto Shippuden without confusion.
My Background
Outside of running this website, I work professionally in the performing arts industry.
I’m a British actress working across film, theatre, voiceover, and animation, and storytelling has always been central to my career and personal interests. Anime, in particular, represents a fascinating form of storytelling that combines visual art, voice performance, and long-form narrative in unique ways.
As both a performer and an anime fan, I’ve always appreciated how series like Naruto develop characters, emotions, and themes across hundreds of episodes.
Naruto’s journey—from an isolated child seeking recognition to a leader striving for peace—remains one of the most compelling character arcs in anime.

My Experience With Naruto
I first became interested in Naruto through its storytelling and character development.
Unlike many series that rely purely on action, Naruto explores deeper themes such as:
- friendship
- loss
- perseverance
- breaking cycles of hatred
Over time, I began rewatching the series and realized how difficult it could be for new viewers to navigate the episode structure, especially with the number of filler episodes added during the anime’s original broadcast.
This inspired me to create a clear, structured guide for the series.
