Not really. Because now it's just episodic with no plot. With out the black & White story the audience would have a unsatisfying ending with no big climax in the last 2 episodes.

Maybe the mangaka was ok with black and white and people in Japan watched it for black and white too.

The manga is pretty much filler since very little of the chapters connect to each other

the anime itself meant to be episodic with no plot and that what makes it fun. we dont need unnecessary edgy teenager plot. they were filler character because they arent in the manga

also you are extremely incorrect if you think people in japan watched it for black and white

Japan's top voted best anime from NHK
https://myanimelist.net/news/50582644

Kekkai Sensen made it to the list even with so called filler. And white and black's relationship was a great contrast to Leo and his sister's relationship.

Some people consider episodes of cowboy bebop as filler because they do not connect to tell a continuous story as a whole. Some filler episodes of naruto have more plot than cannon episodes of Kekkai Sensen.

Was the none filler episodes of Fairy Tale fun?

This anime is better if it did not exist at all. No idea how it is rated 8.26

Juuni Taisen is already day and night better than this trash

Fairy tail cannon episodes feels like a filler episode to me. And filler episode are even worse

Also the mangaka Nightow gave the 1st director his approval for black & white anyways. So the original creator approved "filler " if you like to call it that.

I enjoyed the story of White and Black, as well as their interactions with Leo. But I'm glad they won't be coming back this season. Their story is already over and there is no point in stretching it. It would lose its charm.

that doesn't indicate black and white made the show popular, there is shit tons fanart of OC's of kekkai sensen black and white is hardly there, people dont care about those characters you might but they dont.

that would make cowboy bebop monster of the week type of show not filler

Filler means something to extend a story to fill time Black and White where not there to fill time they where their to have a story and they also built those 2 characters up through the whole shows run which makes the first season so satisfying. I mean there is nothing wrong with an episodic show i mean i love space dandy but having a plot does help you reach a wider crowd.

OF COURSE PEOPLE IN JAPAN DIDN'T WATCH IT FOR BLACK AND WHITE
THE MOST SIMPLE ANSWER IS HERE -_-
Most of people in Japanese who watch Kekkai Sensen Series are the fujoshis obviously (also the normal girls) -_- You can just only find 3-6 doujinshis that have Black, White, Zetsubouou in thousands of them about this Adult-men-love-hints Series. Very few of them watch for the other shits which were mentioned in the "How to rating a good or bad movie/series" Book (it doesn't exist)
The Japanese most of them watch for fun, shipping, drawing and making doujinshis
Example: Boku no Hero Academia, Mushishi, Bakuman, Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu, Ansatsu Kyoushitsu,...
You guys must be saw the NHK ranking right? Look at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th,...
Those animes full of gays, shitty girls, hints, blah blah
How do you feel about Kekkai Sensen sold 18k BDs for each vol and Boku no Hero Academia sold 5k BDs for each vol (ss1), Noragami sold 3k BDs for each vol (ss2)???

That was one of best fillers in anime, for my opinion. And i like, that creators show respects to White, showing her in OP and ED. Basically, in most cases of original story, characters just forgotten after their arc is over.

I think we've been watch Black and White enough in season one. I think we need more about the other characters development other than Black and White. There are so many interesting characters in Kekkai Sensen.

I'm kinda glad, to me what I want from this anime, is just the weird sureal nature of the world.

My favorite episdoe last season was just them running around town trying to find edible food that wouldn't eat them.

I think it would have felt pretty empty without them. When it was new the "in your face" style of this anime was enough reason to watch but now it feels like some show for children, funny to look at with no depth. (It was just 1 episode so lets see what happens)

I respect what White & Black did for the story and I think this next season would be better off if BONES tries for another overarching story. But I agree, I'm much more interested in Steven and Chain getting fleshed out.

Ditto. And why do people say there's no plot? The Blood Breeds are enough plot.

Juuni Taisen has an entirely different premise and it's downright weird you're comparing Kekkai Sensen to it. Perhaps that's why you have no idea why it's rated that high?
