What's ahead for the anime: The Bear Country

[LeafNinja]

Yeah, it's a sad thing, looks like the filler is going to go on longer than we hoped:

A new upcoming arc deals with the Bear Country and Hidden Star Village. An interesting addition to the lower shinobi villages.

Feel free to rant and cry all you want, I think Studio Pierrot has just about lost all good faith we could give them.

Well I can honestly say this is the worst news I've heard all week.

are those the bastards in charge of this.... they should be transferred to WOW (atleast i think thats a studio, it was in the credits of fmp)

This intro started on Episode 154. That means Episode 180 should be the new intro, but that site only shows up to 179. Is there proof that the filler is going beyond that?

[LeafNinja]

Episode 179 is the first episode of the new season. Based on past arc episode descriptions, 179 in no way sounds like the final episode of that arc. Don't get me wrong, it could be, but this seems to be pointing to the fact they're extending the fillers more than they once said.

Perhaps they wish to go right from the first Part Two arc into the second ongoing arc without filler? There is only a few days inbetween these two arcs in the manga, not much room for filler in the future.

[Zek]

Well they'd better, at this rate the filler is coming up on a straight year.

I can't wait for the bat country arc (http://houston.metblogs.com/archives/fear3.jpg).

If they don't stop these fillers soon, Naruto is going to end up like DBZ. It's as simple as that.


Having allot of useless fillers can sometimes be a big pain.

I wish that after SasukevsNaruto fight that they would have taken all their time making a high quality new arch or a spin off in the same world, in another place.. maybe some of the adventures of the first or second hokage.
This hole season is the worst thing that has ever happened to Naruto and frankly it has destroyed it's credibillity... I havent even bothered watching the last 3. I just can't take it anymore. I don't understand why I can going so fast from being in love with a show, to being absolutely sad about what they are doing to it.

The more Fillers the better I don't like the original story the fillers are way better and way cooler
