Despite Naruto Shippuden being in fillers despite that, they are much more bearable and more story related than almost every other filler episode. Itachi is now the main focus in this bout of fillers, and last weeks episode really surprised me. It seems that the value of the production has increased somewhat as well as giving finer details to Itachi and Ataksuki. Many smaller details are also given to the other members too, Kakuzu's inherent loss of partners, and some past members that where never actually revealed. I quite liked Akatsuki when they where a lesser known entity working in the shadows. These current fillers may just be what Shippuden needs before it's final push to it's completion later this year.
I won't fret over it, all good things have and end, Shippuden is no exception. Perhaps once it's completed Studio Pierrot and TV Tokyo could look into getting Bleach back into production. It was infamous for running into fillers due to it catching up with the manga more and more often. D-Gray-man and Berserk at set to air later this year, so there is still much to look forward to, unless you are already enjoying some of the shows airing this season.
