Yep, they started the Richie Rich/The one where Bolt become friends with the fire lord's son arc at 148 episodes. 65 was when they finished the chunin exam; which means it been 83 since then.
It took about 50 episodes of filler to get to the chunin exam, and 83 to get to the the start of the manga's original content.
Naruto ended it manga content on 135, and had filler till 220 where they then switched over to shippuden...Which is 85 episodes...
...The filler arc they just had was only two episodes less than the Great Filler arc of Naruto everyone complains about (which if people forget is where most of the interactions Naruto and Hinata come from) when they talk about Naruto. Holy kitten.
Edit: Sorry had to step away for a moment. So this is the first episode they have that is actual adaptation of the manga; I don't count the rehashing of the movie. 1/148 of this anime 16/148 or 4/37th if you count the movie. Also they are starting the manga story...but the manga story still hasn't gone anywhere. They will either have to stall again either after the Richie Rich arc or keep going into Nail and hope those idiots finally get a boot in the rear. Or at least get to a point they can put more filler in naturally. At least 30 months has passed since this anime has started and the manga still has barely started.
