Did you guys not see the golden cup or whatever it's called at the end of the last episode?

They were pretty much admitting they were just sticking filler in the middle of the plot without any shame or implication on the story. They're blatantly just going to go right back as if this never happened.

And at this point it really is a matter of A) Screwing up the main storyline B) Putting the anime on hold for a year or C) Fillers.

Seeing as they can't put it on hold since it'll just get forgotten and replaced by the next (shonen is it?) anime, the fillers that don't screw up the story doesn't seem too bad. Although I'm not sure if I can be bothered watching it, I hate the filler characters that remained and I felt the bounto arc is a letdown compared to SS and HM ones.
