You really think nearly 700 episodes worth of time can be cut???
@HulkTySSJ2 Yes, it should be quite easy to cut 700 episodes worth of filler/padding/recaps etc.
The OP anime might have 1100 episodes but it doesn't have 1100 episodes worth of content.

On average each episode adapts less than one chapter.
The pacing has gotten worse in the second half but even the first half was barely above one chapter per episode.

From start of the series to the conclusion of the last saga the manga took 1057 chapters.
With an average of 3 chapters per episode the new anime would need ~352 episodes.
With an average of 2.5 chapters per episode the new anime would need ~423 episodes.
(The current anime took 1085 episodes)

What about One Pace?
I haven't watched it, but am curious about it. Especially in comparison to your idea here.

@HulkTySSJ2 I've never watched One Pace so I can't judge the quality of the edits (e.g. how is the OST handled if they cut out scenes). It also won't fix any other problems like the animation and art direction(?).

I'd still recommend it over the unedited anime to avoid wasting time.

Of course the best way to enjoy OP right now is to read the manga but not everyone likes reading.

The staff is super promising. I'm not usually hyped for Netflix anime, but I can't help but look forward to this.

I'm quite skeptical about this project because of Netflix. Even without doing what Toei has been doing for years, releasing episodes in which openings and summaries take up a quarter of an episode and scenes/fights are drawn out in an almost comical way in order to be able to release one episode a week, it would still be hundreds of episodes.
Studio wit has a lot of projects in production or announced, producing something hundreds of episodes long means they will have to put other projects aside or subcontract them to other studios. Netflix doesn't have the best reputation when it comes to finishing series in a decent way, there's hope that it won't screw up the plot too much considering Wit, but if Netflix managed to complete an adaptation with hundreds of episodes, given the precedents, it would be a miracle.

it's much more likely that they'll produce a few seasons, up to a hundred episodes (to be optimistic) and then put the project aside when something else big catches the public's attention. Netflix has always done this, canceling series when they didn't set ratings records or went viral without caring about the viewers' level of approval, I don't think it will be any different for this anime. If we then consider that Netflix probably doesn't have all the rights to the merchandise like they do for other original series, they will cut it once it is no longer a novelty and stops attracting new customers.
