Gasp... Vegeta! wrote: Does anyone know the reason the fillers are so constant? I figured once the manga was wrapping up, the fillers would slow down and stop. But no, they're sending fillers out like there's no tomorrow. I mean, if they want to throw other side-stories in to elaborate on what some other characters have been up to, they could have just added some featurettes near to or after the end of the series without ruining the momentum in the canon. It's at the point now that I don't even look forward to Naruto episodes each week anymore. Any momentum that I enjoyed is gone, and it's such a pain to have to re-amp myself after being so dissappointed every two weeks or so. And I was quite a big fan up until recently. Just, the amount of fillers since the start of the ninja war is getting to be too much.

If I have to guess, one of reasons could be Boruto-movie. It will probably be advertised through opening and ending credits like most Naruto-movies were. I would also guess that there's going to be at least one more opening and ending credits before the end of anime.

That's just my theory, though.
