This news literally made my eyes water. Im so damn happy to know that after the Anbu arc we will have nonstop canon to compliment the Juubi arc. Hopefully this doesn't affect the quality of the animation that we've seen recently. On the flip side of things however, this does kind of mark the beginning of the naruto-apocalypse if the anime if going to be filler-free for 2014. Like the article you linked said, the anime is only 50-somthing chapters behind the manga, so if the studio feels that 2014 be filler free is risk-free, then that can only mean that the manga is most likely going to end towards the end of this year. At the very latest, early 2015. My happiness is gone now. Im sad. Thanks for the post. As*hole.
