As bad as the fillers in FT might be, they still have one massive advantage over Bleach fillers (not that they are much better than FT fillers to begin with....):

FT fillers happen between arcs.

The Hueco Mundo arc is interruped with fillers twice (or at least twice at the point I've reached so far in the anime). The first filler arc (about Lurichio and the Bakkutou) was at least put into a short lull between fights, but in a very trollish way, with the narrator saying something like "Ichigo defeated Grimmjow, but the battle has just begun. The fate of the world still hangs in the balance... but now for something completely different!" *argh*

But the director really nailed it with the Zanpakutou rebellion's placing. Ichigo just exchanged some blows with Ulquiorra and RIGHT SQUARE IN THE FUCKING MIDDLE OF A FIGHT!!!!!! they put a full filler arc! WTF is wrong with those idiots? Is this some kind of twisted experiment to see how much they can push the viewers?
