Really... I still don't know what you guys are really expecting from this series... personally the only bad points I've seen are the clone fights which weren't done carefully.
Regarding Bleach-style: I'd say I'd prefer One Piece style, where they do an average of 1.3 chapters per episode, and occassionally take long breaks between arcs. Unfortunately, at one point, there was a fairly long arc and were fairly close to catching up to the manga, so they used some flashbacks to very early episodes to avoid ruining the momentum they built up. Also, they've had 3 filler arcs between arcs and maybe 20 filler episodes, usually at the transition between major arcs. Most importantly, their fillers don't suck. They aren't great, but they don't ruin the show (and the producers do a fairly good job of making it possible to skip fillers without losing continuity -- the Davy Back Fight and that Kamaitachi dude from the Apis arc showing up as the crew climbs Reverse Mountain are they only exceptions I can think of)

That could work for Shippuuden. They could go even faster, in fact -- the One Piece manga has a lot more talking than Naruto.

Bleh, I'm probably going to get some video editing software and cut out all the shit that wasn't in the manga. Maybe I'll talk to Dattebayo and see if they'll put it on their tracker too.
