| Saturn is a bum who only got regen going for him. Kizaru is the one who radiates aura. Bro is up before Luffy, which should tell you a lot. All of should be familiar with the anime pacing by now. Just because there's a streak of good episodes doesn't mean it's the standard. Sooner or later it's bound to get worse again. This for one as transition episode was ideal to be "sacrificed" The staff gotta prioritize. Also regarding catching up to the manga, things only getting tougher with less One Piece chapters to adapt each year. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I’m exhausted from watching nothing but peak, episode after episode. I can’t take it anymore… IT'S JUST TOO MUCH PEAK!!! Jokes aside, this is shaping up to be the best arc in the entire series imo. Never in a million years did I expect a side character like Kuma to have such a profound impact on the story and us. His journey has completely wrecked me. The resilience he and Bonney have shown in the face of unimaginable adversites is nothing short of incredible. If Kuma isn’t 'Father of the Year,' I honestly don’t know who is. |

| Toei's dragging things out like crazy, man. This is pushing it. |
 |
| The episode was one of the worst episodes in op anime which is actually very rare but well I understand why they did this episode low priority considerin in this chapter nothing much was happening and this was the final chapter before the main core of egghead second half will start and I trust them they will do justice as usual and seeing the pv for the next episode I can tell will be great like the usual toei piece. 5/10 episode |

| I ordered a pizza to enjoy while watching this episode...I was expecting to see Luffy, but nope,another flashback that already aired like two weeks ago, lol.I ended up skipping to the end, then switched to another anime just to finish my pizza. What was the 6 month hiatus for? It changed nothing. |
 |
| Got through this episode pretty fast since most of it was skippable flashbacks we literally just saw over the past like, 10 episodes ๐ญ |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| So, they are gonna drag it till 1140 to animate the main panel. Also, 1 chapter per episode is kind of shameless? Kuma's backstory was very unnecessary, too. Sheesh, gotta wait 2 more weeks. |

| @krizeki look my post about it https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2226120 |
| I hope next week they show us Kuma's flashback again, I think they haven't showed it enough times. They took a break for some months and they keep dragging the show anyway, what the hell come on Toei. |

@jacobPOL I don't expect anything outstanding in the next episode. The preview looks good, but I think it will just be slightly better than episode 1126 (considering the chapter being adapted in this episode). However, I have high expectations for episode 1140. I hope Michibata will direct it.
Btw, 903 (Sumo guy episode) is the worst One Piece episode ever. And no other episode can beat it.

| @Wayne_Flow as long as the direction is great which was always the case in toei piece then I don't mind if the episode is a bit limited with animation, because what op needed is specialized direction in order to capture Oda sensei briliant visual storytelling in animation medium and they were always doing great to perfect job at it, direction in anime is often times more important than sakuga fest animation often times (it's always welcome obviously) but when direction is poor/mediocore then even this high quality animation cuts can be still underdelivered due to poor/mediocore direction. And considering what will be happening next in egghead island events then the specialized direction is needed a lot. |

| @Wayne_Flow also the recap that lasted 4 to 6 minutes long as an alternative formula opposed to filler to make actual episodes 4 to 6 minutes shorter in runtime in comparison to usual anime episodes post timeskip always was perfect with thanks to this having the flow of 1.5 to 2 chapters per episode depending on how many pages or if they will adapt 1 chapter always was perfect and this is what they would be adapting if they had full episode runtime and by comparing anime and the manga side by side 99% of the time they were always panel by panel in terms of plot progression thanks to this while creating no filler arcs "unoficial hiatus" route. |

@jacobPOL not every One Piece director is Ishitani, Koyama, Michibata, Shishido or Matsumi. There are very promising directors (like Eri Hyun or Sho Matsui) There are just good directors (like Hazuki Omoya or Tasuku Shimaya, for example). And there are mediocre directors.
| @Wayne_Flow Some directors are mediocore I agree like Yoshihiro Ueda for example but even many of these mediocore directors has been improving more and more, seeing their improvement in comparison to their previous episodes like for example Yusuke Suzuki has been dramatically improved his skills ever since the sumo guy episode. And these episodes of one piece directed by some mediocore directors are still night and day difference than Sunghoo park's every project, I consider Sunghoo park to be the worst director he lacks vision he lacks style, look at jujutsu kaisen season 1 directed by him vs season 2 by Shota Goshazono in which season 2 is night and day difference in comparison to season 1 how Goshazono aproached the source material and how he took full advantage of animation medium in order to capture the gege akutami cinematic style of his paneling in animation medium to the fullest potential and this is what season 1 should have been if direction would exist. And also the fact that that it was also Shota goshozono debut in the worst possible times considering terrible production schedule yet how much he was pushing the direction to the fullest potential was breathtaking whereas season 1 was just uninspired motion comic with music and voice acting added on top of it that heavily undermined very well done original 8 volumes of the source material. |

@jacobPOL this episode had no recap. There are no episodes with long recaps after the break.
| @Wayne_Flow which sadly knowing they wasted oppurtinity a bit by not doing 5 minutes recap for this episode since this would make the pacing for the episode night and day difference. |

| @Wayne_Flow or look at also Monster ONA how this project is one of the most wasted talents and potential, the fact that Sunghoo Park had 6 month of production for just simple 20 minutes one shot episode with also having one of the most prodigy talents Midori Matsuda collaborating on this project yet he wasted all of it with no style/vision on the episode and how much he wasted Midori Matsuda to the point that I could consider this an insult to not only Midori Matsuda but also animation medium in general, the fact that very brief post credit scene with zoro and ryuma felt was night and day difference in quality how perfect it looked in comparison to the actual episode is laughable. |

| So many flashbacks:/ Will Kuma be saved!? If so it will be so good for Bonney:) . Straw hats will be in action from next episode, Let's see what plans Kizaru has.. |
| I'm laughing. I and a few others told y'all months ago that the Kuma flashback would be terrible due to how long and unbearable it already was in the manga, and the anime has made it even worse with its awful pacing. Yet some people actually believed that it would turn out better than in the manga despite Toei's history of screwing things up. Well, enjoy Flashback Piece. |
| Yeah. This episode is cool. |
 |
| flash-back... burst- call, wow |

luffy had been up before kizaru stfu child ๐
| @Shawn-20 I don't see Luffy standing. He has been stuffing himself with food without his back leaving the ground. Food he received from Kizaru. So yeah, it's pretty obvious. |

Should just do like 30 episodes of constant flashbacks back to back of stuff that happened a few episodes ago. And you know the best part about it? You still get people calling this peak, perfect and so on, like rly? Why do they keep lying to others and themselves. |

| Alright, so apparently two new mysteries have been added to One Piece. The first is the continuation of what Vegapunk was about to reveal regarding the unique properties of Buccaneer blood. The second is the mystery of who managed to feed Luffy without Saturn noticing. |
| God this pacing is so fucking annoying. |
| And so it begins. The drawn out episodes full of flashbacks or poor pacing. |
| kizaru didn't need to do franky like that but Wranky still tanked it pretty well. |
 |
| A lot of recap in this one but I suppose that is to be expected after the last episode covered over its initial chapter. But the Bonney and Kuma embrace was very beautiful <3 Plus Saturn's regeneration scenes looked really great IT'S BUSTER CALL TIME AGAIN! |
| As has been noted, very poor pacing this week. I understand why it happens, but it remains the reason why I can't give the One Piece anime adaptation higher than a 7 despite how good the manga is. Hoping for better with the events to come. |
| And we're back to terrible pacing again. Half the episode was flashbacks that we've already seen at least once, or twice, or three times. One Pace better do justice to this story. What was the 6-month hiatus for? This doesn't bode well for the rest of the series, if we are going to have what amounts to half-episodes with barely 10min of new content/animation. That "hug" scene even with all the BS flashbacks removed shouldn't have taken up half the episode alone. The milking of each scene is excruciatingly painful to watch. It isn't nearly as awful as Dressrosa or Wano but this really kills a lot of the hype and momentum. Any emotional or tension-releasing effect of the scenes is just reduced to cringe. Watch, next episode, the "getting cannons ready to initiate the Buster Call" is somehow going to take half of the episode. And then the second half of the episode will be more flashbacks as everyone worries that Kuma is dying or isn't recovering from his short-circuiting. Maybe a third of the episode won't be a flashback we've seen 3 or 4 times by now; one can only hope. |

edit: decent ep, barely anything happened, but almost 2 mins of kuma walking 10 meters reminds me of dress rosa. Pacing 404
Kumas size is also changing every scene lol (mostly his hands)/bonney looking 6-7 at age 12

| @MoimoiWa Dressrosa pacing was much better than anything from whole cake and afterwards, it went progressively worse after Zou arc ended |
| Toei pacing strike yet again, they really managed to drag out 6 pages into 24 minutes. |
| THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!!! |
