I'm sure your all sligtly angry about the all of the naruto episodes featuring filler content which has nothing to do with the manga but and personally after watching episode 97 I was afraid we were going to have to suffer through a filler dumb filler story arc.
Although it seems that who ever the hell controls the anime series has decided to go for someting completly different. What we seem to be getting is content from the manga fleshed out with other filler material which actually has helped to develop the various aspects of the storylien alot better then what we've seen before in the manga. There is only so much story and character development that can be accomplished in one 19 page manga chapter each week.
For and example we got to see a rather touching scene in which Sakura was not a complete bitch. She actually gave Rock Lee some support which supports his motivation of why he wanted go through the operation even though he knows the grim statics. We also got to see Konoamaru mature a bit. Originally he was angry with the fact that he was only ackowledged as the Hokage's grandson but when his grandfather was killed off suddenly he became afraid of no one knowing or caring who he was. He saw his grandfathers legacy being cast off and could not emotionally deal with the idea of any sort of regime change. So the question i propose is what topics would you guys like to see expanded upon in these filler episode content.
I'll get the ball rolling by telling you someting I would personally love to see. I want to see a mini story arc following Garra back in the sand village. We can see how he comes to terms with his fathers death. He didn't have the best relationship with his dad but now that he's turned a new leaf what will he think of his dad. It would be great it would feature Garra going traveling throughout the village talking to various people who knew his father. Throughout the episodes he would have a completly different picture painted out of the kind of man his father was. He could learn how his father was a stern but loving man who unfortunatly inherited the title of hokage during an era when the sand village was facing a drastic decline so in order to protect the village he loved he was forced to make many difficult decisions. Such as binding his third child with the incarnate of sand. Well you get the idea so sound off and talk about what you would like to see.
