I totally agree. Alot of ppl prefer to be on Hiatus then Fillers which it is a shame and they kept comparing to Onepiece, Bleach and Fairytail .
I looked up this info and I will share it with you all:
According to an investigation by Media Development Research Institute Inc., a 30 minute episode of a TV anime in 2010 that totaled 11,000,000 yen (about US $145,214 at the current exchange rate) consisted of the following expenses:
(Note: All US dollar conversions are approximate based on current exchange rate.)
Original work - 50,000 yen ($660)
Script - 200,000 yen ($2,640)
Direction - 500,000 yen ($6,600)
Production - 2 million yen ($26,402)
Animation Supervision - 250,000 yen ($3,300)
Original Art - 1.5 million yen ($19,801)
Animation - 1.1 million yen ($14,521)
Post-production - 1.2 million yen ($15,841)
Art (backgrounds) - 1.2 million yen ($15,841)
Photography - 700,000 yen ($9,240)
Sound - 1.2 million yen ($15,841)
Materials - 400,000 yen ($5,280)
Editing - 200,000 yen ($2,640)
Printing - 500,000 yen ($6,600)
So even if they made money off fillers, they very well deserve it. For 4 episodes a month that costs nearly $600,000 to make. You can't depreciate that fact just because they make money off the manga and movies because producing those aren't dirt cheap either.
