I agree with some posters here. Some already had development. Also, because of that, we didn't really need that many episodes for them. Could be wrong, but I don't remember seeing all stuff from the first chunin exams like how the Konoha teams got their own scroll. If not there, why here? It would have been better to see more about the other main teams like Fu and maybe the girl who died serving Konan.

Again, like some said, it started good, but ended up being bad. However, I didn't like the idea of this filler arc to begin with because the main plot was almost at its end. That was even worse when I realized that it was an arc about chunin exams which I thought about and end up thinking it would have been a very long filler arc which in the end, I was right. I still was open to the idea because it seemed/felt like the anime creators were doing the the first part of the exams in less episodes compared to the first chunin exams if I am not mistaken.

When I saw the title of the last episode, I took a guess that it was the final filler episode. The episode was entertaining, but considering how it ended, in my opinion it made most of the filler episodes kind of unnecessary.
