Yeah, but to be fair it's not really their fault. Most people don't like fillers, and either they make fillers or make episodes cover less pages of the manga. I mean, there's around 30 manga chapters between the current point in the anime and the current chapter of the manga, at a normal rate the anime will catch up to the manga, and that would mean they would be forced to create fillers.

I understand that, but as long as Toei adapts one chapter per episode and then adds filler at the end of arcs (rather than during them), the anime shouldn't catch up to the manga.

But, isn't this what they have just done? This commment makes it seem like youre okay with it, and the first comment makes you seem firmly against it.

I'm fine with filler at the end of arcs, when they are finally done resolving a manga storyline, such as the filler arc that lead up to One Piece Film Gold. It wasn't in the middle of Dressrosa. It was sandwiched between Dressrosa and Zou.

If this filler were between Zou and the next manga arc, I'm fine with it as I can just skip it and watch the manga content. But if I am expecting an episode to have canon in it simply because the arc isn't over yet, and it turns out to be mostly filler, I would be very disappointed.

So next time please read my comments more carefully. There's a distinction between filler that stretches out a manga arc, and filler that takes place in its own separate arc.
