No it doesn't need to stick with the manga. An anime episode is roughly 2-3 manga chapters, which means that the anime would catch up with the manga and than we have about a year of fillers like Bleach had. So, I think it's better that we have a little bit of fillers here and there.i hate them, the anime needs to stick with the manga and it will be much better that way, all fillers are like the same, naruto keeps usong rasengan and getting his butt whooped, why not go into sage mode and finish it of easily
