I haven't really minded the extra filler. The manga was alot more hectic, but that's because alot of the big clashes are seeing were pretty much skipped, or were only given a panel of a clash starting. I don't think its a bad thing, giving more time to animate whats going on in each of those clashes, so long as it doesn't do a Bleach, and dedicate entire episodes to crappy uninteresting characters fighting other crappy uninteresting character. Also they tend to go overboard with the Hancock stuff.
