The second part of the Japanese Naruto anime series, Naruto: Hurricane Chronicles, has been given an official air date from an official reliable source, the pages of Shonen Jump. According to the full page ad, a one hour special featuring the characters with their new appearances will be airing on February 15th, 2007. This episode will essentially be a sneak peak of what is to come shortly after the airing of this special. It is thought that this will finally bring about the end of some of the longest fillers in anime history, that have so far stretched 80 episodes since May 25th, 2005.

Episode 216 of the Japanese Naruto anime series, the first episode of the final filler arc entitled: The Disappearing Craftsman, The Targeted Shukaku.

YAY ITS ALMOST OVER!

yup bleach fillers are done. 110 is new arch and its looking good

Although the bleach fillers were pretty good anyway i think. Naruto fillers on the other hand are pretty terrible and it made me hate naruto actually. So i really hope they end soon

yey for bleach!
but still they showed these mod souls from fillers to 'wrap it up' i guess. Hope they don't appear again...
Btw, watch Gintama! It's naruto and bleach (and other shounen) parody and better than both =P

Only like 3 episodes were good and worthy of saving onto my phone:
98 - Kenpachi vs Ichinose (uninterrupted fight with awesome music and kenpachi badass-ness)
100 - Soi Fong ninja tactics vs Mabashi
108 - Ichigo vs Kariya final fight

The rest was an utter waste of time, especially the first ~20 episodes or so. I'm so glad we're back on the manga arc.

I so wish they animate Ninja Gaiden arc. The one about Kakashi's past how he got his sharinghan, the old friend he talks about. I just know the fillers end around febuary 10thish and it starts around 3 years after. I really don't like the fillers i quit the anime because of that reason alone.
