Some of the fillers are okay/funny, like the one about Kakashi and his mask (which broke my heart actually because that was the episode right before Sasuke decides to be a butthole). But the three episode filler arcs just kill me. Especially because they always make out the other characters to seem kind of lame. And Naruto only uses his Rasengan and multi-shadow clone jutsu in those fillers.

I think I'm on episode 11 and there are just so many episodes to get through. I'm not even going to bother trying to read the manga for Naruto or Bleach. I'd probably just get lost lol
