And the pacing will still be ass

[–] pir8t0x@ani.social 3 points 5 days ago

For real 😭😭

Everyone should check out One Pace, it's a fan project to condense the One Piece animation down into the format and pacing of the manga. It's really good!

[–] batdad90@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

If they keep pumping out quality, like they have, I don’t mind the wait at all. Egghead has been a beautiful arc.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

26 episodes a year for the next 2026 years.

Man I reeeeeaaaalllllyyyy need to get back into it... I only ever got as far as episode like 450, then I burn out, and when I go to watch it again I start over lol so every time I see a new image I'm like wtf is with this white hair?

I don't want to be spoiled btw, I just need to watch more lol

[–] sga@piefed.social 3 points 4 days ago

Maybe try reading the manga (colored one if you prefer that). read at you comfort and own pace. and no filler.

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Try watching One Pace, it's a fan edit of the series that gets rid of filler and stretched scenes. It ends up reducing the overall runtime by 40% and keeps the quality up

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 3 points 4 days ago

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll have to look that up

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Post-timeskip is a massive improvement, up until a specific arc (dressrosa) which has, IMO, the worst pacing of the entire series. After dressrosa its hard to stop

[–] rainwall@piefed.social 0 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

As long as you include at least up to Zou the elephant, I agree here. That was the worst "season" in a show that has had many bad seasons. Just insanely tedious filler that served no purpose and had no actual stakes.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Given that i entirely forgot Zou happened, id have to agree xD

Dressrosa was just fucking painful... half an episode or more of recap almost every episode

[–] rainwall@piefed.social 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

The whole arc was basically 6 minutes of intro/outro and 15 mintutes of zoomed in reaction shots with maybe 3 minutes of plot/action that mattered. It was pure boredom.
