Ummm, they did that. They did filler episodes for over a year. Not very good ones either. The ratings plummeted spectacularly simply because of that. Now, the manga is at least 100 episodes ahead of the anime, even at normal pacing. They could not show a single filler spot in an episode and have the thing run 75 episodes easily before they catch up to the manga. Still, the shows ratings don't strand a chance if the animators don't change their ways. Maybe if we all scream, "CUT THE BULLSHIT!" at the top of our lungs at the same time (I'm thinking maybe 10:00 am Pacific Standard Time), they'll be able to hear us in Japan, and fix this crap before the next episode airs. Who's with me?
