If anime's frame-by-frame faithful to manga, there's no point in watching.

It's more of a pacing issue, than anything else. These were filler episodes, but they were essential filler episodes - since you really can't end the series in the middle of a big story arc. I recognize the fact that the pacing had to be adjusted, but I would rather that they had spread the filler material over several episodes. The filler wasn't as noticable in Ep. 20 because it had a decent balance of parody and traditional material. The problem could have been avoided with the right planning, but that's water under the bridge, now.
I'm looking forward to Ep.22.
