I wouldn't care so much if the directors didn't suck at making up their own stories and were better at avoiding conflicts with the original story. Although I have to say Naruto is doing a better job of it than bleach >.<

I know little about bleach, but i agree, the directors do suck. Remember the Courier ninja episode, where Naruto powers the boat with Rasengan? That was where the fillers killed Rasengan as the coolest move in the show.

I have to disagree. The Bleach fillers were exceptionally better than the Naruto fillers. The few times that the Naruto fillers had any interesting storyline were the Mission intros.

Yeah...going with Lyrs on this one...Bleach filler were better than Naruto fillers...ugh...they made ramen...using the Rasengan...why...

I can't argue since i haven't watched much bleach, but i can agree with you both, the filler using rasengan for stupid purposes such as ramen and speedboating was some of the worst anime i have seen, and ive seen quite a bit of anime, even some old school stuff.

Ratings are fine in proportion to how the industry is doing.

Here's the "general" unsupported foreign sentiment:

Lastly, but not least important, is basic demand and supply logic: If the targeted audience continues to consume the product, there must exist a demand for it. If there exists a demand, keep producing the product. If the demand becomes less than the supply, lower the supply.

That's rather disappointing that the Japanese don't mind.

Maybe their standards are lower then ours? How good is their other programs, such as education, news, and game shows? Is everyone commenting here from America?

It's more that we have this mentality of Filler = Not the Real Deal, therefore, Not enjoyable.

Furthermore, we do have less anime exposure then them; however, the audience in foreign markets also tends to be much more varied than the 10-12 year olds in the Japanese market.
