after reading ur message I can surely say you don't read one piece manga because anime fans don't notice because I also didn't notice but after reading manga I watched episodes and then i noticed because I already know story so I focused on animation SFX and music and SFX were really bad compared to any anime that is airing right now ๐Ÿ˜

Old doesn't mean bad, and unrealistic doesn't mean bad either, they're just terribly overused.

Sorry to inform you but Good SFX means realistic so if it isn't realistic it isn't good if you don't believe me google it ๐Ÿคฃ

If sound effects sounded realistic, most of them would be very disappointing, not even those of Hollywood action movies sound realistic for this very reason, if you think otherwise then you're a lost cause.

yep if you talking about pre time skip then they were no problem that time but you know animation improved after that and there is wano that's peak animation for one piece but SFX didn't improved a little it's old SFX even used in dragon ball 1989 so it's that old it doesn't suit new animation if you think that way

Example :- Bleach Thousand Year Blood War animation improved a lot as well as SFX every single aspect and in one piece animation is improving day by day but not SFX not a single time!!

I am not going to say it's bad, but it's not that good either. It's the same thing which they used from the beginning of the series so it's pretty boring now days. due to the sound effects being so over used. so I think it just average.

But for me at really doesn't matter cause it doesn't ruin the experience, at least for me.

There are 1100 episodes, it gets used to it, I also got used to it but then I caught up with the manga, then did not watch the anime for the whole year, watched some other anime, good ones, then I came back to it and couldn't tolerate the SFX ๐Ÿฅฒ

It's probably the weakest part of the production. The teleport sfx always takes me out of immersion because I think of Dragon Ball.

Yeah, I see what you mean. The SFX is definitely old compared to other modern anime, but for me they still work well with One Piece’s style, I just started Wano so maybe I can change my mind a bit about what I've said when I finish it, but for what I've seen I have no issues with the sfx whatsoever

Most viewers don't care if the SFX sound realistic or not, they just needs to sound awesome and not too repetitive.

Wow you are in the deep end with this shit. For me I am not watching one piece for music or SFX shit like that I do not really care. I am watching it for the characters and the storyline and they are on the point every single goddamn time. And music wise when they need to deliver they deliver. wano soundtrack was very good and if you don't think that you are just stupid. Maybe it uses the same thing that it use like 25 years ago but I could not give a less of a fuck.

and if you are enjoying the Manga more than the Anime then just read the Manga. But why are you complaining like the its end of the world.

Yeah its not that good but your making way too much of a big fuss out of it.

first soundtrack and SFX are different if you don't know that and I love soundtrack of one piece no issues with that SFX are shitt and only big issue bigger than pacing and if most of people don't know what's Good or bad SFX then I'm happy I'm not one of them just sharing issue and want that to fix before final war only request to toei !!

Well, their sound design is 25 years old and hasn't changed much.
It's fine as it is, but good sound design would make One Piece even more enjoyable to watch.
Voice acting is top tier(JP of course),
everything else sound-wise is average.

Don't worry, a lot of people share this opinion.

Even a former freelance animator (of One Piece) (Hone Hone/Shigetsugu Sota) shares the same opinion, lol.

Most other people who don't share the same opinion either just don't really care or they are already just that used to it/too used to it to mind it and/or to see see/notice the actual quality of it.

I think people don't notice because there is going on a good story they are more excited about i ignored when I was watching only anime but after reading manga you notice things other than story , btw when did you notice anime problems?

I think sfx for devil fruits are very good but I think they should still redone the sfx because of sometimes ruined the immersion in some episodes like in 1071 when luffy was transforming in to gear 5th and these sfx were so mediocore that I thought Goku appearead in wano transforming into super saiyan. But also there were plenty of good sfx as well.

Idk.. you can see/realize it even Pre-timeskip in some arcs (e.g. Enies Lobby, Skypia, Thriller Bark, Marineforr).

And it's mostly the overall pacing, padding, etcetera.

And Fishman Island, Punk Hazard, infamously Dressrosa, etcetera are all just pretty infamous for it, lol.

Yes the actual sound effects are bad. They haven't changed since 1999, which is practically unheard of in anime. Toei can obviously afford to compose new sound effects but they're either being cheapskates or they believe that the current sound effects are nostalgic. Either way a lot of things about One Piece are out of date.

I don’t think they suck, I think they’re just simply dated. They’re using the same sound effects that they have been using since 1999. At the time these were decent, but anime has developed to a point where the sfx are a lot better than they used to be. Toei is still using the same ones, so in comparison to what’s coming out now they’re simply not that good.

@Loaf_dontcare I may have misremembered it, but I did find someone who also thought Toei mentioned something about upgrading their SFX, but it might've just been for the Fishman Island remastered version.

One of the One Piece animator did criticize Toei's SFX team few months ago for their bad and outdated SFX though.
