This should could really use a bit more sogeking. His theme songs were probably the best thing.

I'm actually fine with just having one real episode per month. In fact, they should probably just do that. Air repeats 3 weeks, new episode 4th week or something. Or make it one of those 12 minute shows, but keep the 4 minute OP. :v:

I have to assume that he's logia type and his body is made of string.

Doesn't this sound more like paramecia type? Like, Luffy's made of rubber, so you can't squish him, Doffy's made of string so he can just sew himself back together? Also, what's Buggy anyway? He can split like mad, but he doesn't look like a logia type..

TBH, just watch the sub, before you're done with all the 7 billion episodes you'll be fluent anyway.

Honestly the way I see it, they just sold the end of an arc as "the end of the series" to grab everyone's attention and then just continued the series after the usual timeskip.

Wait, there was another timeskip and they're just going on now?

Not that I haven't expected this but....

At least it's not a sequel? That could be good all things considered. I catch up on naruto once or twice per year (if there's any new non-filler episodes, anyway), and still find it fairly okay, if over the top lately.

Then again, OP is over the top as gently caress and it's one of my favourite things. :v:

Nosebleed explosions. Not quite dead, but very near.

Rewatching OP is great because you can set the pacing to your own preference by simply skipping staring and recaps.

Watching it as it airs is terrible.

As someone who followed OP for almost 10 years, I can say I'm very glad that one pace now exists.

My favourite OP episodes are definitely still from 1 and up 150 or so. There are many later things I really liked too, but those are the best IMO.

Yes I know that Doflamingo was a psychotic shitbag but he still got tortured and had his parents murdered in front of him so it counts.

Him being a total shitbag from the very start probably contributed to bad things happening to him in the first place so no, it doesn't count IMO.

That trailer looks amazing. Once again getting my hopes up for this mostly mediocre adaptation of a great manga.

I stand by my recommendation of just waiting for one pace episodes. I don't read the manga at all and it's still great.

cool though looking at it closer, Crunchyroll had HD versions (remasters? upconverts?) of the first few seasons so i'll probably check the both out

they're upscaled crops, op: https://www.crunchyroll.com/forumtopic-900459/one-piece-special-edition-hd-announcement

HD versions of the first 5(?) seasons do not exist, they're from an era where TV anime production just went all digital, but they didn't really think ahead about resolution, so there's no source of higher resolution episodes. Watch the 4:3 ones if you can, the crops are mostly fine but there's some scenes where it's quite clumsy.

skypia has a bit of good content in it, spread over like 100 episodes for seemingly no reason, which seems to have been a template for things going forward.

the fact that it comes straight after the best 150 episodes of one piece doesn't help either :v: water 7 and enies lobby are pretty good tho, which makes skypia even worse in hindsight.

at this point i'll reiterate that i'm super glad one pace exists.

IMO the first 150 or so eps are mostly pace fine, but if you're in a hurry one pace seemed fine to me. it also skips some fillers

watched the first half of wano by watching one pace last week and it was amazing. the wano kuni intro is so good. i still remember the sea going from normal anime style to classic japanese style however many years ago but i stopped on that episode since i watch by arcs, and then the next ep opens with 2 minutes of shamisen shredding and the entire art style subtly changes. it's such a great intro

unfortunately, one pace is only up to the oden backstory so i binged the rest this week raw, by which i mean, i probably scrolled over 60% of the show runtime. for the next arc i'll just wait for one pace to catch up because jumping around gets tiring if you don't want to miss poo poo

tl;dr one pace great, non-cut anime somehow has even worse pacing than i remembered, but when it's good it's probably the best of one piece so far
