Apart from whether you want fillers at all, would you really want filler right in the middle of a story line?

You can check out Bleach and Naruto for those kind of abonimations.

In Naruto, the last arc had a shitload of flashback episodes, until it was hard to remeber how the 4th Ninja world war was going at the moment. And in Bleach they broke up the Hueco Mundo arc with three other full filler arcs, one of them even square in the middle of the Ichigo vs. Ulquiorra fight.

And to add insult to injury they started one of those arcs of with the story teller saying something along the lines of "The world's fate hangs in the balance! Will Ichigo be able to save everyone? But now for something completely different."
