This week is particularly bad because of last chapter’s cliffhanger plus all the warnings about spoilers, my hype levels would shatter a scanner

I think it will be another couple of chapters before the big Vegapunk lore drop, it feels like every time something big is about to be revealed in this arc, we have been cutting to Blackbeard/Morgans/Sabo/etc. Not that I mind, some of my favorite episodes/chapters earlier on in the series were when we would get updates on what else is going on around the world between arcs. Now it's happening all the time

I'm pretty sure scans were dropping on Fridays back when I first got caught up in 2017 during WCI right? Then suddenly they jumped up by a day or two, then have been flucuating between Wednesdays and Thursdays for the past few years.

Scans were friday drops for years, back from the late 00s early 10s. The Wednesday Thursday drops are real nice, a mid-week treat to help make it through. That said,

Yes :smith:

Oda leaves most chapters on a cliffhanger, it's just easier to not notice when you can immediately get the payoff. Granted, "Hello World, wanna know about that mystery I've teased for 20 years" hits different than characters reacting aghast to someone off screen.

Surprised there isn't a bad translation out yet, raws are.

Haven't seen the anime since season one and in Japanese. Is it worth watching if these movies are the kind of filler to expect?

Yes and no
The anime hasn’t had proper “filler arcs” in forever. What it generally does now is just go through the material very slowly, only covering one chapter per episode or sometimes even less. The quality throughout the series is very inconsistent with Dressrosa in particular being a really shoddy adaptation. At the same time, the anime has very high highs, especially in the more recent episodes. Yamato’s flashback about Ace has some amazing anime-only scenes that I rank up there with some of the most iconic One Piece moments.
I would not recommend watching through every single episode of the anime unabridged but there are parts of the anime that are very worthwhile.

Condariano's reaction when the marines go,"Well, that settles it, no need for an interrogation!" is amazing :allears:

When I got to that section of the anime I remember thinking,"Weird, I don't remember this part of the manga" but it absolutely felt like it belonged.

Wait really? I almost never watch the anime and I definitely “remembered” that happening in the manga: if that’s true and it’s anime only it’s always cool to identify false memories in real time. It’s honestly sort of scary how quickly your brain will just adapt and think something is true sometimes.

This is true, I often forget that not everyone reads Nami as a lesbian who is in love with Vivi, but has a girlfriend on every island she visits while still intending to settle down in Alabasta. Media comprehension is sadly at an all time low...
