I didn't watch this filler at all. No interest whatsoever and I don't think I really lost out in the end. Perhaps the anime-only crowd likes these filler arcs, but filler is almost always nonsense.

When you think about it, filler arcs are nothing more than fan fiction written up by the anime team to prolong the show and earn them more money. And, the sad thing is, there is actually better written fan fiction out there than some of these filler arcs. The Kakashi Anbu arc was decent, but my god I got tired of seeing Rin flashbacks --- we get enough of that from Obito; I don't need it from Kakashi too.

No, it's high time for the anime team to move on from their hallucinations and back into the main plot.
