oh god, where to start. At first i liked it, it was my childhood fav. anime but as it aged I slowly lost my interest, but it was still enjoyable, until I caught up to the weekly uploads (in dressrosa) it started to feel like Eternity till something happens and often come out of the episode like nothing has happened.

It became a habit of mine to summarise each episode after i finish watching and most of the time the summary is just a couple of words, ex: luffy hit kaido

And don't get me started on the inconsistency, imagine watching a full 20 min of bad ... or mid animations with the goofiest sound effects and some silly side character designs that just disappear after thier arc ends and we never hear from again after they just spent the whole arc developing its character and making it the most intense drama past just so you could (or could not) find a 10 out of 10, 5 minute clip in the end of the episode.
A good example of this is senior pink, goofy design, sad backstory, cool fight with franky, never saw him again.

Pacing is a big problem even the studio can't fix easily even if they wanted to.

But i got a suggestion to fix it, a good example of an anime adaptation, is a silly as it sounds is solo leveling.
Hear me out as of right now with the only the season that aired (season 1) they already covered like 40 chapters and solo leveling chapters are much longer, but they didn't cut any content in fact they added MORE content than that of the manhwa, in the manhwa it could only be deduced (was only mentioned as text).

On the other side every one piece chapter is like what, 20 pages? Even less sometimes.
That's ridiculous if you need to milk a 20 min episode of those couple of pictures.

I will willingly continue it despite being my most frustrating series to ever watch purely to see the ending. not saying that it is a bad series but the negative parts are currently out-weighing the good parts

I will take responsibility and say that the animated one piece needs a better studio to take over, or for toei to include like 2 or 3 chapters in each episode to improve the pacing and if they needed to take more time to not catch up with the manga then that is a downside i will gladly take instead of this animation that will forever be remembered like this, so that or pass it to another studio and show it as the masterpiece as it was intended.

A franchise as big as one piece will for sure get a rework that will greatly cut the number of episodes and and improve the overall quality of the show. And i will be one of the first to watch this rework.

But as of right now i will keep the score low but i might change the score when it ends depending on how it ends; if it ends.

It was great and all that good animation with good art style, kind of a new concept, and that's the score to prove it but it lacked two major things, big plotwist, and the motivation for the act.

Without spoiling anything, the plotwist was very predictable, as there isn't much other people to blame, so the viewer can easily suspect the right person without actually having proof, like personally I figured it out like halfway through the anime, so I wasn't surprised when he/she revealed the truth.

Secondly, there was no background as to why the killer was doing this or anything about his/her backstory (no motivation), ... and the spider string part in the end doesn't really explain it well.
