Actually I'm pretty sure the entirety of the awful writing for every Filler killed the anime like bad filler has killed so many other Anime!! Muramasa and Koga were empty as hell, never mind their powers being entirely silly!! And the Bakkoto arc was also awful in its attempt to do another Aizen, aka having Kibune take Gin's role of directing attention away from Amagai the real baddie!! What killed the Anime is that they kept doing silly out of nowhere stories and arcs that made the storyline hop around and made no sense in terms of continuity!! And this fear of not using Ichigo killed their development!! they basically took these Captains and veteran Shinigami and turned them into Commissioner Gordons for Ichigo "And invasion of the Seireitei, oh if only we had powers of our own, somebody quick, summon Ichigo!!"
 * Amagai's character and motivation was entirely bland, after knowing his Father's last words and then researching the Bakkoto he really should have guessed what had went down instead of the over elaborate plan that resulted in him using the weapon that killed his father, bah baaad!!
 * Koga Kuchiki was also a whiney bucket, running around half in tears because Ginrei didn't glorify him and build a statue in the middle of the 6th Squad!! Not to mention Byakuya's defection which was incredibly unbelievable I mean come on, in a Filler how are you supposed to believe that when you know in the Manga he's not bad and he does everything by the Law of Soul Society!! And let's not ignore the terrible Spirits between Kyoraku's and ukitake's that were just so bad they weren't even good in the "so bad its good" kind of way!!
 * The Invasion Arc was just a nail in a coffin for the anime as the anime-only writers were putrid!!


 * Sadly, some companies don't get the concept of "less is more" as if you make seasons, with breaks, of good story telling, then people will wait, they may not like it but it builds anticipation!! If people turn on TV and its bad stories and "ugh weren't they in Hueco Mundo....why is Rukia still in Ichigo's closet, while no other Shinigami is stationed there....what the hell is going on" people will start to lose interest and not want to turn the show on because of the lack of continuity and thus ratings begin to fall and fall and cancellation soon follows!!
