Good filler? (Naruto)

[Zeus]

So, instead of their usual "force you to give up on the series" level filler, Shippuuden decided to do a 4-ep recap of the entire first series (first 135 eps; the last 85 filler eps don't exist) before the big battle with the Allied Forces (if you don't know what that is you don't need any more details).

For once, I actually didn't mind the filler too much. It was OK to see a quick recap - mostly the Naruto-Sasuke story - before the big battle considering it's been what, 5 or 6 years since the last series ended?

Don't get me wrong, it ain't no real eps. But it sure as hell beats Guy getting seasick.....

I don't really think of recap episodes as filler. I mean it is filler, obviously, but I'll never take issue with something just refreshing me on what happened in the past.

So I can't really call it good filler, I'll just call it good recap.

RIP Bleach Anime, you won't be missed with your 75% filler run. lol

Actually found something that covered why Bleach had so much goddamn filler, almost nothing happens in the manga per chapter, so almost every anime episode was 2 chapters.

In comparison Naruto usually floats around a 1-1.5:1 ratio, spikes up to 2-3 on occasion.

I haven't watched the Bleach anime in over 2 years. I stopped caring a long time ago

I saw a post saying in the latest chapter of Bleach where Kenpaichi took out 3 random guys in one page, that could be 3 episodes when it goes to the Anime.
