So guys, yesterday, the newest filler arc came to its grand finale. Looking back, how do you rate the arc? Was it a pleasant experience or was it an ordeal you had to suffer through? Post your opinions below please.

I'd rather sit on a wooden stool, facing a blank wall for 3.5 hours rather than watch a Bieber concert or watch the second half of this filler arc
The arc had some good episodes and some bad episodes but overall I say it was good. Although the ending was kind of disappointing as they didn't show how Aijsai and Fu died even though we know Kakuzu and Hidan got Fu and Ajisai died on that S-rank mission.
@Super I actually liked the character development. Most of Shippuden has been focused on Naruto and Sasuke, so seeing the other characters get good character development over the years was great imo.
Wasted potential. I like how talked a little about how Takigakure got a tailed beast becuase it had excellent Jonin.
The Naruto worship was annoying. I wished we got more out of the bald priest guy. Make fight Gaara more before using the sealing tech, heck I would had him going on the offensive till Fu arrives and starts running interference forcing him to make said barrier and try a hand at sealing two tailed beasts.
Team Kazami was taken in a nasty direction. Just no on every level.

Not really, the majority of the characters that got "developed" had already been developed in previous filler arcs, so it wasn't really necessary to "redevelop" their character again. The many Suna nin were pointlessly included just to give the feeling there were more people present. :/
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.
The arc had a good start, got me really interested. Everything was gravy up until the middle to the arc. The first phase was a very sly test which waa nice soi we could see something different. I liked that they changed the area for the second phase too. But probably when Team Kurenai's time was up during the second phase, is where I started to dislike the arc. From there on it was let down after let down. I mean there were small things that were there, like errors of age and rank, the whole depending on Naruto to push forward, and other stuff. Its even worse that they didn't even finish the exam nor at least get to the third phase. I give this arc a solid 5/10.
To me, it was underwhelming, especially since the original Chuunin Exams were among my favorite parts of the series. Though, I guess it wasn't fair to expect the same from a filler arc.
I didn't like how the abilities of filler characters were either based off canon ones or random and weird.
I think the arc had promise, however it suffered from a rushed ending (which made the build up worse) & from fans wanting to continue with the main story (new filler arcs weren't really necessary at this point). The arc itself had some good characters, & it would have been cool if there were finals. Well it isn't like having opinions for this arc really matters any more, unless content from it gets used for some future game, which would be cool!
