Episode 373 (latest episode) animated manga chapter 633, if we assume the manga reaches the end at chapter 700 (which seems likely), there are:700-633= 67 chapters left to animate. If we assume all the next anime episodes will animate three manga chapters each (which is the trend), there are: 67/3= (aprox.) 22 anime episodes left. Assuming there are no more anime breaks (unlikely), the anime should reach chapter 700 on January 22nd.

The movie is going to get released on December 6th. Ummm... unless they start animating 4+ manga chapters per anime episode, we have a big problem.
