This post contains spoilers for a piece.
of Ichiro Oda a piece Widely considered the greatest shonen manga series of all time. Not only does it have an incredibly large fan base, but it's also the best-selling manga of all time. Based on the latest available data, the a piece The manga has sold over 500 million copies, making it the only title to achieve this milestone.
Netflix's next hit anime is officially the greatest shonen series of all time
The greatest shonen anime of all time is coming. It will surpass everything out there right now.
While the manga is phenomenal, the anime is a different story. The last couple of arcs have been incredible, but that hasn't always been the case. In fact, a case can be made Toei Animation really ruined a piece of anime.
One Piece anime has terrible pacing

One Piece anime has an incredible pace

Toei Animation is responsible for the failure
One Piece anime has been airing since 1999, and since then, it has released more than 1100 episodes, which is a very high number. Such a large number could easily deter potential viewers from watching One Piece anime, especially in the current era where an anime season has a maximum of 20–30 episodes.
But how did it happen? A piece ends with more than 1100 episodes? The answer is quite simple. It was because of the choices made by Toei Animation that the anime was so slow and dragged out. The pacing was fine until the anime got to the logtown part of the Eastern Blue Saga. Some episodes cover only 10 pages, which makes Painful episodes to watch.
One piece anime quality went down over time
Unfortunately, things continued to deteriorate over time, leading even enthusiastic fans to hate the piece. For example, Oda covered the entire Dressrosa arc in 102 chapters, while the anime took 118 episodes to do the same. The Whole Cake Island arc has 78 chapters, and Toei took 95 episodes to cover it.
Even Wano, who many fans consider better than the other arcs, has the same issue. In the manga, the Wano Country arc ended in 149 chapters, while the anime required 191 episodes to complete. The Egghead arc, which is the most recent, has 68 episodes, and has been adapted into 70 episodes. After a little calculation, it's clear that Toei Animation almost converted a chapter into an episode.
A Fragment: When the pacing slows down, explained
Being one piece's main problem, many fans are surprised when the anime's pacing is really bad.
A new generation of anime has mastered the art
But it falls short of the standard set by some of the better anime released in the past few years. For example, Solo Leveling covered 110 chapters in just 25 episodes, making anime fans fall in love with the series. The episodes had excellent pacing, so viewers didn't feel like they were watching paint dry. Gachiakuta is another example of an anime adaptation done right. The first season had 24 episodes, and they covered 87 chapters. Viewers were delighted with the adaptation, and they praised it on every social networking site.
By taking a slow approach, Toei Animation ruined the One Piece anime. There is no doubt that the story is phenomenal, and the action sequences are amazing, which is why fans are not mad about it. Unfortunately, the Elbaf arc will be no different, as it has been confirmed that the anime will maintain a pace of one chapter per episode.
A one piece remake needs to happen soon
Not long ago, it was confirmed that the One Piece remake would be produced by Wit Studios, which previously worked on titles such as Spy X Family, Vinland Saga, and Attack on Titan. While some fans may think it's unnecessary, there's no question that a piece needs to be recreated.
Witt Studios president, George Wada, revealed that there were two reasons for the One Piece remake. He said one of them was the old 4:3 format. In the 90s, the pattern may have been acceptable, but it is now outdated. Second, the studio wants to improve the pacing tremendously. By solving these two issues, Wit Studio will make One Piece anime more palatable for viewers.
Unfortunately, the studio hasn't shared a release date for the project, which suggests that production is a long way off. Witt Studio may have its hands full with other projects, so it's running behind schedule. The studio shared new character designs for the Straw Hats and various islands. Hopefully, an update will be shared in the next one piece day.
