As word is spreading round, I heard there will be filler episodes soon once the current few episodes finish. This might not be true so I cant really be 100% sure about it, however if it is then what do you think about it?
I suppose it could help us understand about other characters besides Ichigo, and perhaps also their backgrounds e.g. how the captains obtained bankai, previous captains such as Kisuke, Yoruichi, Isshin (Ichigos Dad), etc.
Also the fact that the anime show is getting closer to the manga comics probably suggest there is a likelihood of fillers taken place or even large breaks inbetween episodes. Anyway I probably prefer filler episodes as long as they are appropriate and good to watch since the manga hasnt covered them yet.
