One Piece: Gyojin Tou-hen

Absolute ass! As one may know perfection is not in human nature, however human could come as close as 97percent of perfection. By having experience, knowledge, imagination, creativity and critical thinking.

To think they could fumble hard on such a simple work was not on my radar. From not being able to give a proper flow, to cutting important manga panel ( they cut my beloved Hancock panels (*sob, sob).

Animation
The first episode was good in term of animation. But afterward it got below average for some reason. Maybe they are saving for later episodes (fighting episodes?) Which is better than nothing, I ... guess.

Even though toei has been letting down one piece from the start. Yes from the start. If it weren't for them one piece could have been so much popular, however it may be the time, finally for one piece to go seasonal, Finally. Tears in my eyes of happiness. (The good thing that came out of this).

Should you watch it?
Absolutely! It's new one piece content baby. The opening and ending are new and good. Can't I use emoji here?

it feels off, and I'm entirely sure why, but I have a hunch... is it too fast now?

I guess the animation is not entirely new, it's the same one from the original, just cut and stitched together differently. and so, its panels that were created with a much much slower pace in mind, when sped up 2-3x, it ends up feeling odd. I would have loved to see a complete new animation, but maybe some other time

at least for the first three episodes—"Return to Sabaody", One Pace feels much better. it is slightly slower, 32-33 minutes per episode instead of 23 but covers the same ... content and flows better

that being said, I'm still glad this exists. adds a little color, a little diversity in the ways we can watch and re-watch One Piece

This was genuinely such a waste of time and resources I could not have been more disappointed. They had an opportunity to finally turn this "quantity > quality" anime into a "quantity > quality" anime that would compare to the likes of other shonen anime (ex: Jujutsu Kaisen, Bleach, Naruto) in terms of BASIC visual flow, exept they failed miserably and achieved neither.

The frame rates per second are as low as ever and they in fact seem even laggier than the original series. It looks like they applied a phone filter to make all the images "prettier" but all it did was make them look ... un-realistically warmer while the detail hasn't necessarily improved.

This show has so much potential if the animation could only reach the basic standard, but they've decided to go the milking route and deny that possibility even after announcing a "quality remake" making this otherwise good show impossible for me to watch.
