No wonder TV Tokyo and Studio Pierrot is mliking the Naruto Franchise for all its worth. I see lots of filler in the future. I mean the recently animated Itahi backstory was based off the two part light novels and they can still animate the Kaskashi, Shikamaru, Sakura, and the two part Sasuke light novels. If they want to then there are a lot of thing they can do. Lol.

Hardly. While the anime's total run has had its issues, the recent run has been the most exciting I've ever seen it before as a whole. More exciting animation, a direct focus on characters and plot, great music, etc. ...Though, I am watching it in Japanese. While the English dub isn't complete garbage, the cheapness of its latest localization completely legitimizes most of the complaints from English dub fans. It's a shame, considering how much I've enjoyed it lately. And considering Pokemon is still so big, even after all the disaster predictions, I think it's hard to say it's gotten that bad. As for Naruto, cool. I liked it, but I stopped watching all the fillers. My students have enjoyed it thus far and the products are still fun to collect, but I do have to say the manga's war arc felt way too drawn out. The ending arc was great to end on, at least. And Youkai Watch. I'm just not getting it. I like it. I don't love it. I've played the first two games now and while the second game was better than the first game, I just couldn't get attached to any of the youkai. The anime is so filler-like, the manga is so... childish... and the games are better, but even then, they're not really as entertaining to me. Might just be personal taste. I simply haven't been into Yu-Gi-Oh in a long time and Gintama... I read almost a dozen volumes of the manga and about 30 episodes of the anime and I couldn't find why it's so popular. Its comedy might just not be my thing. I know I've seen clips that made me laugh, so maybe it's just the beginning that's slow... hmm... |

DragonBall, Z's, fillers and Super were much better at doing this in a less tortuous and redundant way. |

Given this, it's no surprise how ridiculously stretched out the Naruto anime has become. The conventional wisdom is that anime based on concluded mangas don't need filler, and that's true, for story purposes. But when story takes a backseat to profit, you can bet they'll do everything they can to delay the finale as long as possible.
And when they finally get to the end, well...Boruto already had a movie, so a TV series isn't out of the question... |

Yeah, I also love watching naruto and seeing that it still does this great, I'm glad that the anime won't be over anytime soon ^^ The mugen tsukuyomi filler had it's flaws but since the itachi and the kaguya arc the anime is really exciting again! |

Holy cow are you serious? You enjoy this pile of filler episodes with a few cannon sequences in between? Excuse me if this comes through a little rough but I can't understand that at all. But obviously you are not alone considering Naruto is still TV Tokyos main goat |

same as you two. I hope they continue still for quite a while, it's always nice to see insights or side story, that rather not see it. |

You need to go deeper. 30 of 300++ episodes of Gintama is not enough to make the conclusion. And Gintama is not all about comedy. |

It's still awful, they need some new and fresh, a new main character. ash and team rocket must go now , but that will not happen |

So, Bleach no longer part of the TV Tokyo's Top 5 profitable anime there's a big chance will never adapt the final arc.

Umm... How can it even be on the list after 4 years if not running? All other Franchises have 4 years of advantage. But yes it doesn't seem like the world will be fair to us bleach fans. This year is our biggest chance though |

since Naruto is my favorite anime/manga i'm glad to see it kicking ass. i already read the manga so i know how the story is ending so i don't mind the fillers at this point as long as they don't destroy the characters.
gintama is awesome and i really hope they animate the rest of the story + the chapters they dropped during 2015. really wish they bring back Bleach though
