I just made a discovery. It must probably be a coincidence. Studio Pierrot, the animation studio producing the Naruto series had started producing Naruto filler episodes since the beginning of this year. Is it because they concentrating more on Tokyo Ghoul season 2? Tokyo Ghoul season 2 started just about the same time Shipudden went filler. Studio Pierrot is renowned for several worldwide popular anime series, such as Naruto, Bleach, YuYu Hakusho, Tokyo Ghoul, Beelzebub, Great Teacher Onizuka and several others. Tokyo Ghoul season 2 is expected to end in five weeks, about time Shippuden went back to its main story. Looking back this has happened before. Bleach, went to fillers when Shipudden entered the Pain arc. Another reason could be the anime catching up with the manga, but not this time. Naruto manga was already over in November. Moreover Tokyo Ghoul season 2 is not directly following the manga and the manga creator of Tokyo Ghoul, Ishida Sui, is working with Pierrot at the moment in altering the story. Coincidence?
