Those times where you didn't know what fillers were, and why the quality in storytelling would suddenly be down to garbage level. I still think that season had some of the worst fillers I've ever seen in anime, TBH.

It would be so easy for them to do something horrendous. I remember how excited I was for new Slayers, and I dropped it like hot potatoes before episode 10. I think I don't learn from my mistakes and I still get excited for stuff that will most likely suck ass.
