Allwynd said: ... in all departments. Animation seems worse than before. 870 is the best animated episode to date excluding the films The art style is uglier than it was in the first 300 episodes. All the uniqueness of the main characters is completely gone. The way main and supporting characters looked, was a bit cartoony and they all seemed like they had flaws, but were still appealing. The way shoes looked - big and bulgy was also unique and cool. Even the generic cannon fodder enemies looked good, now they all look very mediocre and like copies of each other. The design of villains is also somehow more generic and boring It's not worse, just different and more modernized. Also no, characters like Perospero, Katakuri, Mont D'Or, Younger Streusen, Cracker, Amande, Tamago, Pekoms, Carrot, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, Jack, etc aren't boring. The colors look really washed out and horrible (at least in the Whole Cake Arc, where everything is supposed to be bright and colorful). For example something red, like Luffy's shirt before was bright and vibrant, now it looks like red, but something is wrong with it, like it's not colorful enough. The colors look fine, stop exaggerating. The characters, especially female ones all have giant tits, tiny waists and too perfect faces. Kinda agree but this doesn't mean the show is worse for it. The plot somehow has become slower and more boring that it used to be before. Arcs take twice as much and overall the story seems to be dragging. Because they will catch up to the manga otherwise, a long filler would help fix this but that's just not good from a business angle, just read the manga since it's faster to get through. One thing I don't understand is why everyone thinks that Ace being killed is a big deal. He never got much screen time. They showed him once in Alabasta and then when he fought Blackbeard and lastly in Marineford where he is about to get killed. Only THEN, they showed his childhood, and even after seeing that I still don't care that he god killed. He was never important to the story or anything and then they TRIED to make it look like he was very important, but it still didn't make him any more important. He was Luffy's brother, a member of the D clan and the son of the former Pirate King. Not that being more important is a determining factor in him likable to most of the fans. I really love One Piece, I started watching it in 2008 and have been following it non-stop for 11 years now, but the show is starting to annoy me in pretty much every aspect, especially how slow and ugly it has become and I'm on the verge of dropping it forever. Drop the anime and read the manga. |
| You only noticed it now? After the time-skip it has become total garbage. Stick to the manga. |
 |
| That is why I dropped anime , only manga is worth reading |
 "I want to show that woman the true Yoshikage Kira. I want her to hear how I feel deep inside. That I want to take your slender neck into these hands and strangle you to death." |
| I'm convinced that the current episodes look a lot better than Dressrosa arc and arguably better than pre-time skip episode. Maybe you don't like the artstyle? Or maybe your memories of the past episode got blurred and you mostly remember the sakuga. One Piece always had goofy and unrealistic character design. Also the arcs became longer in the manga too. |
| It's quality dropped over 10 years ago. When it comes to the anime anyway. |
| Congratulations, you finally realized it.. I already realized it since like 10 years ago, so I dropped it ... One Piece's plot took to long to develop, and every arcs are basically redoing of formula of previous arcs too ... |

RandomFacepalm said: i feel like now they're just spewing garbage at us and expect us to take it all in. I hate how they're doing things. Pacing wise, i know one piece has horrible pacing... but recently it's even worse than before. I still have hope though. But one thing i would not mind at all. is One piece just turning into a half year anime instead of a full year, that way we can expect some good stuff It's not going to happen, and it's not just Toei's fault |
| It has its moments, dressrosa was the one where the quality dipped alot. |
 |
| would u rather have dressrosa pacing for the rest of one piece, or an extra long ass filler arc, like longer than bleach which lets the manga go ahead while the anime sits at place |
 |
| Its toei animation, so what do you expect? Almost everything they've animated has been quantity over quality, and they've cheaped out one piece hundreds of episodes ago. Its pretty bad when you have a 30 second cold open, 2 minute opening, and 3 minute flashback composed of clips that were already animated from the previous episode. |
| I disagree, the only thing that has actually gotten worse is the pacing. Current episodes are adapting the manga at a slower rate than before, but the anime is a lot more enjoyable when you marathon it instead of watching it weekly. All other “flaws” you mentioned are subjective and post-time skip all that changed was more modernized art/animation. The anime is on par with the manga imo if you can get past the slow pacing and I don’t think the arcs have gotten worse at all, Whole Cake Island had some of the best writing in the whole series with Big Mom’s backstory and I think she’s one of the most creative characters Oda has ever created. Animation for WCI has been pretty good too for the most part. The only time I can agree the animation fell off was during Dressrosa, but most quality issues aren’t as apparent as they were then, you act like the animation didn’t have inconsistencies since the anime first aired lol, the animation was never perfect. |
| I hear that alot from some of my friends who are watching it My brother is obsessed with one piece but even that couldn't make him go on with anime any more and he just reads the Manga now. |
| Stick to the manga. There's a colored version available and you should be good to go. The anime is a lost cause with few episodes that have good animation in it, not to mention the horrendous pacing. Art was never Oda's forte as girls will always seem like stick figures with balloons. |
 Truly a Divine Comedy  |
| I like One Piece series,i've been a huge fan since i started it,the adventure and all but as all people said after timeskip the animation and the not needed scenes and recaps....have started getting worse and worse...though i still follow the series and the manga of course , the beggining after time skip wasn't so bad,i think it all turned very meaning from the dressora arc when luffy took pause 3 eps to breath so he can fight again and all those stuff. |

| I only watch anime for entertainment and manga for the actual story, not gonna defend one piece anime cause manga is way better than anime. |

| I feel like we are not watching the same anime. |
 |
| Congratulations, it took you that long to realize one piece anime is garbage after time skip, you should read the manga |
| One Piece ended with the time skip. That's all there is to it. |
 |
| I've noticed that as well. Toei's animation has always been on the cheap side except from when they're making shitty captain harlock remakes but the show looked best 15 years ago during the switch to HD. Also since I binge watch the series after each arc ends, I'm not fond of their decision to slow down the pacing to remove the filler arcs. The emotional impact/number of episodes ratio has been reduced as well compared to before the timeskip. |

| about one year later and the overall quality is worse than 2019, Wano arc animation and art style is pretty good though, the backgrounds are interesting and colorful and the character design is nice. The problem is the pacing and the retarded action/plot/story/whatever. I feel that when we'll get to Raftale/Laugh Tale arc, we will be already super bored |
    |
| Drop the anime and just read the manga. That's the right decision. |
 |
| Ok,I agree i also don't care about Ace that much as a character.He's kind of uninteresting when you compare him with all of the other colourful characters. I do disagree on the fact that all post time skip arcs are more boring than before,considering WCI is one of my favourite arcs and lots of post time skip arcs i actually like more than pre timeskip.I just feel like the animation quality drop didn't affect my opinion of post timeskip as much as other people did. I don't like Wano that much so far,so take that as you will.I just feel like it has less interesting elements than WCI,since WCI felt so unique in comparison. |

twoego said: Huh, I wonder. Whole Cake Island had the best animated scenes in the entire anime, though. It had many many amazing moments. Overall, WCI is perhaps even my favorite arc. People tend to belittle it for silly reasons, just because others do, don't get on the hate train. Same,my favourite arc period.To me it's underrated and overlooked because people have such a bad opinion of post time skip arcs in general. |
|
| i agree after the timeskip maybe animation dropped some how , but hey after the hole cake arc the animation improved a lot and i 'im talking about this on going wano arc , i almost read the manga but after i saw zoro fighting those guys i totally changed my mind . One piece is getting better . |
  |
| I has. I was a huge One Piece fan since 2007 until Dress Rosa. But that's when it went to shit for me. |
 |
| This aged. Toei has been doing a 10/10 job on a 10/10 flashback |
 |
| after 913 episodes and 20 years, i dropped it sometime ago. its repetitive, the last Arc with big mom was garbage. only Luffys fight was awesome but more dragged out like an DBZ fight and the GEMA 66 backstory of Sanji. tried to watch it again, but getting bored after 5min and realizing, ive 60 eps to go and this arc will be at least streched to another 70 slow paced episodes. maybe after 20 years i am too old for this kind of anime. |

ExTemplar said: I has. I was a huge One Piece fan since 2007 until Dress Rosa. But that's when it went to shit for me. Really Dressrosa is kind of in my top 3 arcs I didn't watch Dressrosa as it aired so it was kind of fantastic for me. |
| I am done defending this series lol, all i can say is this. If you decide to continue, be it anime or manga, the "final arc" is something that is truly going to be special and I would think before considering to drop it forever especially after you put so much time and years into it. In my opinion, the final arc is most likely going to be a story that is very tightly woven, only focusing on the major plot development moments that have been set up throughout the whole story. It will probably have the scale of a saga like the emperors story but far more interesting. |
