... That's not filler. I know it feels like it, but that's pure Kubo writing.

No, one of the earlier filler arcs, right after Soul Society I think.
Urahara has a set-up where villains are attacking Ichigo, and its similar to how Genkai did it to Yusuke's group in Chapter Black.

I had forgotten about this weird fillerish episode about Naruto getting to the stadium for the final exam. Talk about killing the mood. We get a super tense episode about Gaara and then this.

I didn't mind it, but with how awesome The Dark Tournament was, it was kind of disappointing.

Equivalent exchange, for Naruto to have a dark and tense episode, it must also have a goofy and pointless one to compensate.

Damn you, FMA!!!!
I hear that basketball anime that's airing right now is pretty good.
With basketball being my favorite sport, It'd be cool to see it on Toonami.

I totally remember this being a thing people brought up years ago, naruto would have this super tense serious episode, and then the next would be a happy go lucky episode

I believe they aired prince of tennis, but I almost never watched it cause I had absolute zero interest in a tennis sports anime

edit: Okay, maybe hugs won't do the trick. Fucking Yashamaru
edit 2: Perfect Possession...it's a lion. it's huge

Did you get banned again or just busy? Either way glad to see you again.
Fair enough, I asked last night in a half asleep stupor after reading the xmas bowl in eyeshield 21. Apparently the anime adaptation is shit though.

At least you've returned. And just in time for Shamballa too.
Going back to Bleach for a second, I genuinely think the Fullbring arc was MUCH better than the current manga arc. I mean, it wasn't good or anything, and a lot of shit was just flat out not explained at all, but at least it told a story and had something resembling structure.
I really don't understand what people see in the current arc. Is it because of the promise that it's ending? So far the whole blood war arc has been a rushed as hell clusterfuck. The arc didn't even have any build up, foreshadowing, or world building to establish the coming conflict. Just straight from zero to "bullshit side characters are already in mid-battle against people you've never heard of and have no reason to give a shit about" IMMEDIATELY. It's like if the Soul Society arc skipped the 20 episodes of getting to know Rukia and then jumped over the whole "getting into Seireitei" part and had Ganju fighting Yumichika right off the bat. Or if the whole Arrancar/Hueco Mundo thing skipped over all the stuff in the world of the living, Ichigo's rivalry with Grimmjow, and Orihime's choosing to leave and launched straight into Ichigo fighting that ridiculous matador dude for no reason.
