Jman Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Not that the franchise is going on a full break. Season 2 of the Netflix adaptation is in full production swing, and a new OVA was announced as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sketch Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 Never thought I'd see the day but I welcome it with open arms for the sake of the pacing improving significantly. My one caveat is that it kinda sucks to do this in the middle of Egghead rather than before the arc started. I always dislike this kind of disruption mid-arc like they did in Bleach and Naruto Shippuden but it's a bit different this time because we're not getting a bunch of non-canon stuff out of nowhere. Fishman Island Kai wasn't on my bingo card but I like the prospect of cutting down that all that bloat from the original anime and they're going as far as to recomposite and recolor the whole thing and do new animation cuts. Seems like a lot of work, quite a lot more than Toei did for DBZ Kai. I'm salivating at the prospect of them doing this with Dressrosa or a trim down of Wano (obviously Wano alreadly looks great its just bloated) along with all the other post-time skip arcs. I'm all for them doing the same with Punk Hazard after they finish Egghead, that seems rather appropriate doesn't it? But if they don't remaster the living daylights out of Dressrosa that's a huge missed opportunity to make up for Toei's shoddy animation during that arc. If they alternate a new arc with a remastered arc that could essentially make One Piece a seasonal show. Though with the new time slot, its possible it will become seasonal even without remastering more arcs. And the decision to remaster Fishman Island and possibly other arcs after the time skip makes me a lot less concerned that The One Piece and Live Action One Piece will not make it to The New World and make Fishman Island, Punk Hazard, Zou, Whole Cake, especially Wano and Dressrosa more enjoyable to watch animated. One Piece fans are eating good. Anyone who whines about the main anime taking a break doesn't understand how good that will be for the anime pacing and the quality of the production overall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk.. this feels like a "believe it when you see it" deal. I'm not even entirely convinced the "remaster" part is going to include significant, if any, trimming, or if it's just going to make it look prettier. On top of that, even if pacing is improved, it's kinda already stained by its reputation. You're not going to get anyone new to slog through several arcs on the promise of "it picks up later.... like, way later." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not going to get anyone new to slog through several arcs on the promise of "it picks up later.... like, way later." Trimming is absolutely happening. They said it will be 21 episodes recut from the original amount (which is 58). That’s slightly more than a 3rd the original amount. I think at this point it’s more for the sake of being able to revisit the earlier arcs without all the bloat primarily for the existing audience. For new viewers there’s live action and WIT Piece. My statement about pacing was regarding newly adapted material like the next part of Egghead. But I suppose I should curb my expectations regarding that because Oda puts out less and less pages each year so Toei needed more of a buffer to compensate that or they’ll have to do less than a chapter per episode eventually. I shouldn’t expect them to suddenly be adapting 2-3 chapters per episode when things resume but 1.5-2 is pretty reasonable.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
