"Alright guys, we need to take a break from animation and illustrating. So, let's start making episodes that have nothing to do with the story."

To keep the anime from catching up to the manga. If you didn't notice, there are 3-4 chapters in every anime episode, and they come out at the same time. It's basic math.

They don't want the series to end in Japan, so they create fillers to add more episodes..

They don't want the anime to be at the same point in the story as the manga. It's not that they just stop everything else during that time, they're still working on other things, but they're stalling the release. And obviously...they still have to animate the fillers so its not like they really take a break.

To Prolong Episodes. The Fillers are designed to Keep the Episodes from catching up with the Manga.

I personally think that the war was rushed through. you would think that the edo kage's would be a tag more epic and drawn out. I for one am happy that these fillers consist of battles from the war not shown in the manga :D

without the anime alot of holes would be left in the story. We get to see the sound 4 fight again and charcters tht haven't had a 1 on1 in shippuden and you are mad that? GTFO

Do you know why it's called filler? CAUSE IT FILLS IN THE GAPS

To stop the anime from overtaking the manga. When you think about it the anime and manga aren't that far apart.

They are rushing the canon stuff like the Mizukage's steam imp which took only like 15 minutes in the anime just so they can get to the filers faster. This is so that they can milk the series as long as possible and make as much money as they can.

To keep the anime from catching up with the manga. Most production companies produce the episodes in advance and generally have an entire arc done before it's even aired. Just look what happened with Bleach it caught up with the manga and the anime got canned.

Although its gonna start back up soon.

[Fill]er. It is used to fill the anime, which as a result, makes it unable to catch up with the manga.

shorter = boring to me. Without fillers having a franchise is impossible. Fillers aren't good to most people cause they focus from the manga and then the anime. IF you watch just the anime.. and not know there is a manga.. fillers = 100% enjoyable.

I mean look at Deathnote.. so short.. led to me being bored of it.
