User blog comment:TVthePunisher/Bleach Episode 287...start of a new filler arc?/@comment-1368674-20100818204453

weirdly enough the most recent episode had a lot of filler in it (Harribel story) If I recall he killed her straight and no massive flashback (like in the anime). So we are already sort of fillerish. The filler episode (well I heard it was just one) is coming right as Ichigo enters FKT, which I guess the timing is ok with that (though its good I have heard it is only 1 filler episode).
