Now it looks like it tries just to prolong anime at any cost, regardless if the episodes are successful or not, instead of focusing on some exciting ideas, which would become a nice extention of the manga plot. There were already these nice ideas shown, like Rappuden part or Karin's IT dream, although their execution was more or less poor. Tenten's Road to Ninja dreamworld already was unnnessessary, and then came this boredome of Jiraya Handbook, which is a way too twisted (actually a filler inside a filler). At least they could've made some interesting stories of other characters' dreams or extent the battle against Kaguya with new scenes or flashbacks (her/Hagoromo/Hamura past and whereabouts). But no, Jiraya Handbook spam, and that's enough. Bingo. You know what I would've liked to see? Maybe an IT dream w/ Suigetsu on the hunt for the 7 swords of the mist. If SP insists on a plot involving Jiraiya, then fine, how about a flashback to when Orochimaru left the village and showing how Jiraiya tried to bring him back. As you said, a flashback for Kaguya/Hagoromo/Hamura's past. Actually now that I think about it, this would've been a perfect time to have something like this given we'll be right at the beginning of the Kaguya arc when we get back to canon. While I don't think the fillers are anywhere near as terrible as you guys think, it's the lack of creativity that's disappointing.
