User blog comment:TVthePunisher/Bleach Episode 287...start of a new filler arc?/@comment-117598-20100818190724

Beast Swords arc just looked like a perfect example of filler episodes. Even the end Toju looked crappy and not even that menacing. Also like after the episodes were being created they looked at it and were like "Wow, this dragged for way too long. Let's just end it real fast"
