| The pacing got really bad at the start of the Dressrosa arc IIRC... Still enjoyed it. |

| Watch it for yourself if you want to know. Everyone will tell something different. Also, there is no outro in one piece since long ago. |
| Everyone will tell you something different. For me, I think after the timeskip is when everything starts to drop off a bit. I've just finished the Fish-man Island arc, and that was loooong. I found it hard to engage in the arc/characters because in every single arc theres a character that you're almost forced to care about, and in that particular arc, it just didn't happen for me. Of course, watch it for yourself and see what you think. Personally I still really enjoy the anime now in the later stages just because I need to know about how the story progresses to where it is now. Also the characterisation of the crew make it so much easier to watch as I care so much about the characters. |

| I love how only 6 minutes of an episode is new content while the other 18 minute are wasted on the opening, flashbacks, long stares, and still-frame panning. |
| During Thriller Bark, the show starts to drag out shit for a min and gotten worse by the timeskip. |
| I think this really depends on how your experiencing it. It my humble opinion i think one piece was a series designed to be watched in huge chunks at a time. Watching weekly is something you really don't want to get involved in so i imagine if your binge watching it. The pacing won't bother you as much, recaps can always be skipped and so can openings/endings if you can't stomach them. The series over all pacing does get very stretched out in the NW saga arcs but the way filler is implemented into the series is more relevant to its plot and elements presented where as in naruto for example you get alot of nonsensical filler padding/episodes that take you completely out of the experience. In other words one piece uses its filler as a way to prolong or stall the pacing of the arc by either incerting some sort of comedy moment or just extra fight scenes. Fillers are "relevent" to the story though. Recaps i think is fans worst concern and with the show TOIE gets crazy with them towards the 2nd half of the series. But as i said, you can always skip them and it won't break the momentum of the plot that much. We are currently watching a sort of intermission kind of arc with huge bomb shells and lots of plot development, how ever TOIE is using most of the time to showcase lots of flashbacks because of many returning characters. Again this is purely your choice and you can always choose to skip these. But that is one example. Also many added scenes in the anime were far better then what the manga entailed so its worth it to check out of some awesome moments, (IE dressrosa, katakuri, big mom, kaido, etc) On the other hand, oda designed the story of one piece to be a more adventure series but the pacing of the manga has always been more plot oriented then the anime. How ever even ODA has indicated that he will intentionally leave gaps in the manga for the studio to fill in later with original material so that is from the horses mouth him self. It is really NOT that bad as people make it out to be because i guess its alot worse if your sitting through on a weekly bases watching an arc unfold over the span of years then it would be to just binge watch the hell out of it and enjoy the epic journey. |

| The HIGH BUDGET shows as early as Enies Lobby where the recaps last up to 8 minutes. (though this is still regarded by many One Piece fans to be one of the best arcs in the entire series.) Animation and pacing quality stays solid until the time skip. It's supposed to take the biggest nosedive around Dressrosa, but I'm not at that arc yet. The current episodes will sometimes adapt only one chapter or even half of a single chapter per episode and it's pretty abysmal. However, I love the characters so much that I'll endure it all for them. |

So all the "animation quality after time skip is bad" don't apply anymore. As for the pacing, it always have been similar since they entered the grandline. Nothing much changed after timeskip except that the arc became longer both in the anime and in the manga. But the overall pace of an episode is closely the same. I remember people complaining on the pacing when we were in the water 7 arc. Nothing much has changed as of today. |
| After the timeskip |
| Never, it gets better with each episode. |
| Post-timeskip for sure. Fishman Island and Punk Hazard are where Toei starts the bullshit and Dressrosa is where it’s impossible to not notice. Downright unwatchable. |

I remember people complaining on the pacing when we were in the water 7 arc. Nothing much has changed as of today. What he said is honestly spot on but let me add a bit to it. I think the way many fans percieve the anime is quite different on a weekly bases and also if they are manga fans because they are always looking for content to match up exactly to the source material. Suddenly TOIE throws in some original content, and the fanbase just flys off the handle thinking "this is filler, omg the story is not moving" when in actuality some of that filler just adds certain light hearted moments or parts of the story that are need to expand upon that oda him self could of very well added to the source material if he so inclined to add more characterization or comedic relief. Anime only fans are not blinded by this and enjoy what they see at face value where as manga fans, perceive it as just being another way to pad out the story with material that was not in the manga. Now mind you there are moments in the series where it becomes unbelievably obvious, but to say water 7 had flaws regarding pacing is just ridiculous. That is where people are obviously bitching and complaining because its not exactly panel to panel pacing. Its honestly a matter of perspective in that regard. So knowing that there will "always" be complainers that are not satisfied with the series not matching up with the manga is a given anyways. I can't tell you how many anime series i have watched in my day like Full metal alchemist, Inuyasha, love hina, to love RU, world god only knows, Ghost in the shell and i had absolutely no familiarity of the manga or source materials at all but yet i still absolutely enjoyed it. In fact some of the filler in inuyasha was pretty damn good. How ever i had no idea it was filler. The original FMA series was an amazing philosophical and darker representation of the FMA universe and story and i loved it. Our minds have a tendency of being often per-swayed when we have certain expectations to follow when viewing and watching anime when trying to follow source material. |
