** Hikaru is actually based on Shidou Hikaru, the heroine of ''MagicKnightRayearth''; also, Eriol Academy is named after Hiiragizawa Eriol from ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura''. Plus the manga has newspaper clips of how the CLAMPSchoolDetectives have vowed to investigate the disappearance of three girls from Tokyo Tower (Another ''Rayearth'' ref.)

To quote the actual Filler page: \"Filler episodes are entries in a generally continuous serial that are unrelated to the main plot, don\'t significantly alter the relations between the characters, and generally serve only to take up space.\" Angelic Layer does not have Filler. It very explicitly falls under Adaptation Expansion, which I have given a more thorough explanation of.


* AdaptationExpansion: The anime expands the roles of several characters, allowing for more in the way of CharacterDevelopment.

to:

* AdaptationExpansion: The In adapting a short, five-volume manga series into a 26-episode anime expands series ([[OvertookTheManga and before the roles manga even ended, no less!]]), a lot of several content had to be added to pad the show out. BONES opted to provide a few new characters, allowing improved development, backstory and personality for existing characters, a more in arc-based narrative (as opposed to the way defined beginning, middle and end of CharacterDevelopment.the manga), and even [[spoiler: a more tragic explanation as to why Misaki's mother can't see her.]] And astoundingly, [[TropesAreTools fans and critics alike have both been rather supportive of these changes]].
