End of fillers will be...
Okay... there was this anime lecture of "Studio Pierrot" held at our university here in vienna (you can read the announcement here: http://www.at.emb-japan.go.jp/English/default.htm (Culture - Events) - I already posted about it in my journal )
It was today at night and the producer and owner of the Studio answered questions after the actual lecture. Actually I planned to ask when the fillers will end but I was a chicken -.-". Then someone else asked ^^"
At first the producer was kinda confused (it's not like we should be able to see the actual japanese episodes *COUGHS COUGHS* but I am glad no one told him that we are kinda downloading episodes... I would've killed this person).
Well... his answer was:
"Naruto will grow in the series. This part... with grown-up Naruto will air Spring 2006 in Japan - there'll also be a new movie next summer. And we are currently working on a movie for Bleach."
So I guess after this whole filler season (26 episodes - I guess the last few will be Kakashi Gaiden) there'll be the time jump ^^".
Half of the actual lecture was about Naruto really (but most of it was basic info and such ^^"). He was surprised that even in europe this anime/manga is so popular and he loved the fact that some of us were wearing Naruto headbands XD". He also talked about a ramen-eating Naruto event held in Japan this year in summer and told us that people were waiting 3 hours to get those ramen O_o. I am not sure which event he was talking about (maybe someone who lives in japan has more information?).
What he also told us is that Naruto is a "surprising" (haha) hit in america. At least his company was surprised but they loved that fact ^^".
Ah well... he also talked about a few other series and about anime in general... like how long it takes to get a single episode done - with planning and everything (2 months!!!).
And some people were asking if the studio works with the mangaka. He actually answered that question with: At first they are talking about the manga with the actual author... ask him about character design and everything. But most of the anime-related stuff is the studio's decision...
I am still angry at myself that I didn't ask if they are talking about fillers and original characters with the mangaka first.
Ah well... What I actually wanted to tell you was: The timejump won't happen before spring 2006 sadly...
And I am glad someone else asked this question... I was too afraid to do it -.-".
