We don't know exactly when the current filler arc will end. At least it'll end on April based on the new opening that will aired in this month. Also, Date claims in a previous interview that the anime won't stop even the storyline ends after adapting all the remaining events in the manga. About the animation for the upcoming events, since we'll have a film on August, I don't think that we'll see very well done episodes before that because most of talented animators in Studio Pierrot are working in the movie in this period. Let's see how the anime will handle those events and I don't think the anime will end in this year, maybe in the next year...
