The problem is that the story-writers for anime additions, as I understand it, are sitting in A1, rather than the animation studio. So it was the very same people who came up with "Natsu eats a village", the Daphne arc, the KotSS arc, the Dolphin guy and their latest atrocity, the ESC arc.

Maybe A1 should try to really let Bridge try their hand on a filler arc. It can't be much worst than what A1 concocted so far.

If I had the choice between A1 doing another filler arc and hiatus, I'd practically beg them to go on another hiatus... unless of course the filler arc is animating one (or more) of the spinn-offs or Light Novels.
