My "problem" with percepting OP's padding differently is because I marathoned it whole during last summer so whenever I felt like things were dragging along I just skipped freely. This might have skewed my opinion of it but now that I actually experience it first hand I agree about the abridged version.

Because I also read the manga, I pretty much do the same thing for new OP episodes. I've found I only end up watching about 10-12 minutes of material each week...

A Kai treatment would be incredible, but that's so far down the line that it seems unrealistic. Especially considering that the anime could run for over 1000 episodes. Abridging the series one arc at a time while the anime is still going would be pretty cool.

It's definitely a victim of the anime's pacing - I remember it going by a lot quicker in the Manga.

It's 100% this. The arc in the manga went by just fine apart from the flashback chapters, but those always seem to last forever.

That's what I've been doing until now, but I can't resist the allure of the music.

Music kind of loses its merit when whole episodes consist of running forever and not getting anywhere, mooks repeating what just happened over and over, extraordinarily long shots of static scenes and reactions, or my personal favorite, EEEEEIIIIIISSSSSSUUUUUUU ad infinitum

I have a lot of hope that the anime won't screw this up but... I'm not confident considering how the previous episodes have been trending

I watched the newest episode and after skipping through all the crap, I think I spent ~10 minutes actually watching. It’s been that way for years now.

I usually watch the anime once a month so I can skip through and feel like the show did something. Granted, not much still.

Yeah episode 1000 was more or less a clip show

This series has so many very large or very tiny people or races that I'm convinced that Oda is just showcasing his fetish half the time. And honestly, hell yeah for that.

Never forget Big Mom had a Tontatta husband :stare:
