Bth the whole of post time skip pacing is bad. But if you’re only finding it bad now then you will be fine.

Wait, it took you until WCI to realize the pacing was shit? Did you just skip past all the post-Enies Lobby arcs or something? The pacing never gets better in general; a couple of episodes in Wano adapt more than one chapter and therefore feel better paced, but those are very rare.

I personally thought that enies lobby or whole water 7 saga was perfectly paced

I find reading the manga and then using the anime as a refresher helps keep me distracted from the anime's sluggish pacing in places

The Anime does this thing where almost half of a new Episode is the Opening and then the recap....+ the Ending-Song, later. So it's bound to move on a very slow pace....to make more money.


But it's fine, in terms of the pace of the actual story. I like how Oda builds up his Arc's and Im quite used to it, at this point.
If we talk about Whole Cake Arc? I find it to be quite refreshing in terms of pace. We got lots of Drama with Sanji going on, in between the normal early stage of an Oda-Story. If anything I feel like Dressrosa was worse in that regard.

Immediately. Alot of flashbacks that are a single panel in the manga always take up minutes. It also has that Shonen trope where web something shocking happens, the camera cuts to every single character's face one at a time for a reaction shot, which takes so long. Not to mention the first quarter of the episode is taken up by the 3 minute long intro, the expository dialogue from the narrator, and then the recap. That's 7 minutes out of the 21

The only time I disliked the pacing was in Nami`s arc with Arlong. Goes over that backstory too many times.

Enies Lobby is where it started to go bad, Thriller Bark is where it went bad, Post-Timeskip is where it went shit, Dressrosa's pacing was horrendous, Wano is where it started to get better but still is bad

Enies Lobby's episodes starts at 5-8 min. mark

Thriller Bark episode count is double the amount of chapters it has

Dressrosa only has 8-10 mins. worth of mins content (despite having 23 mins of runtime each episodes)

Wano is adding anime canon ("filler") scenes for the off-screened and shortened scenes in the manga (Oda's pacing for Wano in the manga is faster than usual). The anime pacing for this arc is still bad

People who watch the Anime instead of reading the manga are beyond help anyways. The One Piece Anime is so bad because if the bad pacing and even good animation can't help there

Wait….how did it take you this long to realize that the pacing was bad? Well sorry to break it to you but the anime pacing is shit, it’s one of the main reasons I bridged off to the manga

For me it was around Enies Lobby when Luffy was fighting Lucci and I remember thinking to myself "Man, this shit's kinda slow, why are there so many recaps, and specials and fight interruptions all of a sudden".

What an odd question. The pacing sucks when you're watching One Piece, of course.
Well I for one already loved Lain.

No, the pace is fine. You wouldn't even notice a decline if you binge. Weekly viewers who only receive a certain amount of content once each week and wish more progress was being made are the ones always complaining. When bingeing, though, you just move on to the next episode. Not a big deal.

you're already way past the point where the pacing sucks, but you probably haven't noticed it yet because you still haven't caught up to where we are now. once you start having to watch week to week, that's when the pacing really gets to you

The pacing begins to deteriorate after time skip. And a possible help to survive the bad pacing is to watch One Piece at 1.5x speed.
