So Toei hosed up the King Kong punch. Don't know why I expect better at this point but that was a really cool moment and instead of showing how overwhelmingly powerful it was, they decide to go with powerbeam struggle nonsense and managed to pace it out so badly Luffy doesn't even finish the name of the move before Donflamingo gets a long monologue out. Just once I'd like to get them to understand he's not supposed to struggle when he pulls out moves like that, it's cool because of the single decisive blow coming in an instant and it shows just how powerful it really is when he can overwhelm someone so completely. It's like Zoros insta win sword moves, except with fists and I don't understand why they don't get that. Asuron fucked around with this message at 10:20 on Mar 20, 2016 |

They get it perfectly well. They just need/want to pad screen time to fill in an episode, AND in a manner that takes very little budget/time to do so any other considerations take a very distant second place.

Allarion posted:The director of this one was the assistant director on movie 6 interestingly enough. I know that the assistant director on a live action movie is actually like a really different job than the director, if it's the same with animation that really doesn't tell us much about what this movie is going to be like.

I agree. I'm more or less completely done with the anime version of One Piece. It's some seriously amateur hour poo poo now; like they didn't even bother to animate Doflamingo falling down, the animators just literally put him in a prone pose and shifted the whole body down like dragging an image in Photoshop. Them playing the final music cues from the Luffy vs Lucci fight just made me miss how good the series used to be during Water 7/Enies Lobby aesthetically and pacing-wise in the anime.  It's bad. It's really, really super terribly bad.

It has reached the point where people will watch it regardless. They don't need to put in any effort. People will watch and it'll make money. So the cheaper to produce the better. I miss the catchy ending themes and anime only material. It's a drat shame. Even the earlier filler arcs where pretty drat enjoyable at times. G8 for example was loving golden from beginning to end.

It's just bizarre thinking about this from an American perspective since it's usually the A-list material that gets the budget and talent dumped into it and the B-list less so, but here it's the opposite.

I've been watching the dub anime with my sister and it's been our favorite thing. There about to finish up Impel Down and I'm getting scared. It sounds like even watching 11 episodes at a time wouldn't fix dress rosa. I at least want to get to the time skip but it's so hard to stay positive. Toei won't even d filler anymore just because that takes more effort with designing charecrs and backgrounds

You're about to hit the period where I stopped watching the anime. It just kind of DBZ's it where pacing goes to poo poo and they stretch out moments a whole lot. And it's only gotten worse for the most part, is my understanding.

It's unfortunate to hear how they turned King Kong punch into a struggle. They did the same bullshit to the Hodi fight where they made it look like Luffy was losing to Hodi before the final punch.

I checked out the episode because I haven't seen the anime in the longest time. Holy god drat poo poo, I have never seen anything so lazy in all my life. It's like they decided that even key frames were too much effort. The music is as gentle and vague as possible so they can slap it over the action with no effort, simple effects are thrown over still images and static images drift lazily apart to fool you into thinking there's some kind of motion to the shot. I'd love to know what the actual dollar value is for their budget, because these people are basically crooks cutting their product until it's 90% sawdust.

It's interesting you mention that, because that's the exact arc which made me give up. The pacing problems came into their own that arc and haven't stopped since. Up to that point they were able to squeeze in the 10-15 episode filler arcs to keep up. By Water 7 they just couldn't make those work without the stretching, and they started stretching the poo poo out of things. That still doesn't explain them doing so little with the cover stories as filler arcs too.

I've read that the Coby and Helmeppo training filler episodes at Marineford HQ and the mini-Buggy filler got low ratings so they gave up on doing any more cover art related filler.

Now it is a very sure thing, and they have no desire to improve it when people watch this poo poo anyway.

Even then though, we still had knockout scenes like Gear Second and a large majority of the fights during the arc, especially Luffy vs Lucci. Donflamingo vs Luffy should've absolutely been the part where they put the budget in if it was to go anywhere. Instead they cheap out and make it look like poo poo because they don't care. I wish they brought back the animator who did Gear second and the Monster Trio vs the Kraken to handle the important bits of the series. His artwork and animation is easily my favorite work among all the animators they have there and he really gets how One Piece is supposed to look.

Hey I just watched the King Kong Gun episode. While the final punch was dragged out, the last part with Corazon's warning was really well done with the whole "The D's are the enemies of Gods" line. If you haven't already definitely watch the episode where Trebol mentions the clashing Conquerors haki of Luffy vs. Doffy. The anime really emphasizes the start of Conqueror's battling like Don Chinjao predicted in the C-block fight.
