The worst fillers are the ones where Irrelvant filler-created characters get more screentime and development/backstory than the canon ones.
This is pretty much almost every filler arc
The Sora filler arc was so f*cking bad btw
I agree. No one cares about SPs self inserts.
I must say, I went into this one with the expectation that a good idea would be ruined by the non-canon characters. Once they started using sand, I think [Sooooo not canon!]. The focus on Fuu was nice, though, I hope she gets more time.
BUT when I could see Shira was going to be the focus I cringed. But, he's not too bad a character. Probably because he's a Rock Lee clone, who lead to more Rock Lee screen time, and so that's generally great (for me, this whole filler has basically been team gai so far its great). I think it's because he's based on a canon character that he isn't so bad, they basically don't have time to develop a full character that we care about, so using Rock Lee as a comparison point seems to work. Plus, he isn't some overpowered idiot. Gotta say, when he stopped Lee's kick I was a bit worried.
While I like that Team Gai are the focus, I feel like they're neglecting Sakura, and the other leaf ninja. And considering how much SP loves Matsuri, I'm surprised she hasn't been shown much [Not that that's a bad thing...]
Before this started I was hoping Gaara wasn't Kazekage so he and Lee could have a rematch. I'm glad however, that Lee and Gaara have acknowledged their fight throughout the filler
