Naruto Anime: We heard you liked filler...

[Funka Genocide]

So we put some filler in your Naruto so you could watch filler while you Naruto.

You're welcome.

I'm really bummed out about this recent barrage of horrible, boring filler. I mean I guess everyone likes money, and its not like Japanese kids are going to stop watching Naruto anytime soon, but I know the manga has a ton of actual storyline to work through that the anime has only begun to touch on. I'm wondering what the damn holdup is.

The preceding Pain arc was, in my estimation, totally freakin' awesome. I mean despite the whole "Shark-Jump no jutsu" thing, it was nearly perfect.

So anyone else eagerly awaiting the return of ninja Jesus and the further escapades of The Sauce and co.?

Didn't Shippuden have filler at least somewhat related to the main story?

If they're doing Has-No-Point-Whatsoever-Filler again, I'm kinda glad I'm not following the anime at the moment.

Especially since this filler is pre-time skip stuff. We needed more filler hell?

[Gregness]

Shark-Jump no jutsu was which one again?

[Fifthfiend]

I watched that Pain fight on Youtube, it was hot to death.

Best thing since Naruto beat the tar outta that sand kid.

[Menarker]

Shark-Jump no jutsu was which one again?

Probably the gravity bomb jutsu that effectively decimated the village of Konoha, turning a completely thriving city into rubble. It got better though and due to numberous circumstances, deaths were at an all time low, if not none Pain used his final jutsu to revive those he killed to life.

They haven't jumped the shark yet, for they still have to animate http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v135/aerozord/Untitled2.png

Isn't that just the whole show?

[Jagos]

It was actually good until the chuunin exam.

Then it went from good to "holy shitastic"

Yet another reason I watch One Piece almost religiously.

Does not compute.

Does not compute.

I want your Man-Babies, Krylo.

But yeah, the filler's dragging the anime right back to the shitpile, when it has finally started to clean itself off. And there's still at least one more week of it.
