Im finally tackling Naruto Shippuden, im on episode 75/433 gonna carch up before November :3 when does it end? 500 episodes?

I take it that you watched the Naruto series before that? I don't think it will ever end. It's a good anime. I just wish they would ease off of the fillers. It's not as bad as bleach though. 

At least Bleach had decent reason for filler, being within proximity of the manga and needing to add a little breathing room. Shippuden could have ended almost a year ago though. The manga finished November last year. It doesn't even make sense if they're trying to ease into the sequel series, as that was a one volume story that started and concluded already. They just dragged out the series because they could.

I wasn't basing any of the anime off of the manga. I measure anime by itself since I honestly don't read any manga. 

Bleach had random side arcs that interrupted the main story that had nothing to do with what was going at the moment. It was really annoying honestly and the storyline itself got boring.

Naruto shippuden would just dive too deeply into backstory or events in the past but they were related to main story at the time.
