How does Kishimoto Feel about the Fillers?

amy

Does the guy hate them, or even care?

I don't think he cares, so long as he gets paid. I wouldn't.

I think he takes minor bits and pieces, but nothing more.

I read that he liked those fillers, but I think he probably wass forced to say it from shonen jump

How could an author not care about any content added to his own work. The idea of this reeks of sloppy reckless unprofessional-ism and I for one highly doubt he could possibly be that detached from his own work. I would tend to think that while not absolutely fixated with every passing moment in a filler he is well aware of what transpires and pulls desired content to his conscious when he plans the future. He could very well be at a loss for ideas, roll back to a filler then become completely inspired off some random action by a character.

Fillers make Kishi a saaad manga-ka D:
Um. I agree with kusogitsune:
I don't think he cares, so long as he gets paid. I wouldn't.
I've heard that Kishi didn't like that there were trains in the first Naruto movie.

Doubt he cares.

he got paid so he's like whatever

i heard in a interview that he never missed an episode of the anime which includes fillers and he says he gets inspired from the fillers

I know he accepted Matsuri, but what else did he take from the fillers?

Hiruto, Kishi didn't borrow Matsuri from the fillers. The filler team based her look on a background extra. Crazypants. Stop spreading lies.

Well he said that he doesnt really have time to watch tv so i am not sure if he really has an opinion for them. I would have to say though, if i was him, that I could go two ways. They are good because they give me more time to get my manga ahead of the anime, and also bad because they dont portray the story very well.

I doubt Kishi cares very much, if at all. :/

i think he cares about the fillers not bcoz he likes it but hate it

Last time we talked, he said he was considering suicide.

I really doubt he's one to care, as long as it doesn't mess with an idea he's working on right now.

I don't think Kishi will be sad.

Supposedly he does watch them.  I think if it was me, I'd be a little frustrated to watch someone take my creation and twist it around like the fillers did, although I can't help but wonder what, if any, input the anime team got from Kishi on it.

Let's hope Kishi didn't have any input on the fillers. Otherwise, that could spell disaster for how the manga plays out.
