End of the fillers

Naruto’s finally returned from filler hell!! I just watched the one hour special opening (comprising of two episodes because each episode is normally half an hour) of the new series, 疾風伝, which starts off rather nicely with a premonition of what’s to come. I wish the episode weren’t interrupted with so many omakes, but I guess the producers had to extend the episodes to fill up the TV timeslot. 仕方がないな。

Speaking of which, Bleach has also returned to the manga plotline some weeks ago. Now I’ve only watched a couple of them Bleach fillers which aren’t so bad, and I guess I have to watch them eventually to catch up with the new arc because the writers seem to have integrated some elements of the fillers into it. Now I’m wondering if I should bother catching up with the mangas at all.

I’m so behind all my anime/manga right now yet so unmotivated to catch up because these series aren’t complete yet. I like to watch stuff at a go and despise having to wait weeks for cliffhangers to be resolved. ( >_< ) I guess with Naruto and Bleach there’s not much choice about it because they’re hugely popular Shonen Jump series which means they usually go on and on, allowing the mangakas, publisher and TV production companies to profit until one or more parties get sick of it.

Anyway, it’s nearly 2AM and the first day of the new Chinese year. Just want to wish all fellow Chinese a very prosperous year ahead.
