I couldn't stand how DBZ extended episodes, personally, especially with how the filler was.

Some people I know hated how Naruto's filler was, but I could always tolerate it. Naruto's filler arcs were all separate, short, straight-forward, and to the point. It wasn't one continuous filler arc, like that Bounto arc in Bleach (which bored me after a while, because that one story went on for far too long, imo).

For DBZ, they extended canon arcs by using the "I'll power up for 20 minutes which takes 10 episodes to get through while everyone stands around, staring in awe at my awesome power" method. I couldn't stand that. I'd rather have short original filler if a series needs it than extending something significant like a canon arc.

The powering up of Naruto today with his fourth tail coming out just really made me think of the whole, "I'm powering up, you all stand here for about an hour until I'm done" thing that was common in DBZ.
