Honestly this anime is just so shonen it’s painful. Does anything ever happen like ever?
Today on one piece: A flashback to last episode, and the past 10 weeks or so of episodes, which were also flashbacks Next week on one piece: 15 minutes of people reacting to the atrocity that’s about to happen

One piece is genuinely very well written and has excellent characters, but the anime is just so deeply held back by pacing.

Jujutsu Kaisen and the new bleach episodes have been pretty good about not doing that. Demon slayer too, I think

It's not one pieces fault it's really Toei's fault for trying to force this into a weekly anime. It's not. At best it could be seasonal

I read the manga for one piece and honestly a lot happens every chapter it’s nothing but constant new information lore character building story it’s one of the best written pieces of media I’ve ever read as an English major. If your question is genuine I can name 6 events that happened in the last chapter without spoilers then for the anime the past like 5 episode were the Kuma Bonnie flashback which was some of the best character building in the shonen genre literally ever

Not to mention Bonnie as a character as a female character SIDE character mind you she got more depth and development than most shonen give main female character yes I’m looking at Naruto and bleach for having the most shallow female writing

I’m not saying it’s bad. It’s very good. the only annoying thing is the anime goes 1 chapter per episode, so they’re fluffing shit up so much to fill 30 minutes. If each episode was like 10 minutes long, I’d be way happier, because then they’re at least honest about how much actual story they’re giving us per episode, and not wasting time with 5 minutes of slow motion walking and crying.

Yeah that’s totally fair which is why I mentioned I read the manga I always recommend that over the anime I’m conscious enough to know the reason I still love and wait for every anime episode is because I love the manga so much so for me I can overlook the pacing for that reason but I still acknowledge the anime has bad pacing and you should just read the manga
