I'm glad that they're adapting things quicker. I'm just hoping that the reason that 1018 is not as exciting is because its mainly adapting the CP0 conversation.
I'm that the pacing will at least be a bit faster though. Hopefully this limits the impact on the production as well as improves the pacing for the episodes for even the weaker episodes.(which I still hope have good stuff, even if its only one or two big bits of action)
the copium is crazy...
afaik you expected rooftop to extend til 1020/1021. So you already lowered your expectations for some of those episodes, which i can get behind since nailing 6-7 episodes back to back is a herculean, unfeasible task.
But now knowing that they're
increasing the pacing which is *good* they don't need to nail 6-7 episodes (1015-1021) they
only need to nail 4 episodes. Which when looking at recent developments is definetly possible if the management is smart.
But now they can't even do justice to these 4 apparently and focus on making the Tama Chapter memorable?
That'd be unacceptable. The OP Team has 4 great PA's with Aoki, shiraishi, Tokita & Mineta. Give each PA 1 Rooftop episode and they can get good animators on it. Each of them has a few contacts, or they can work with each other & help each other out. Such a thing could've been planned out long in advance roughly.
1018 also has the title "against the yonkou". It will definetly cover the fight from 1003. I can imagine 1018 ending when the CP0 dialogue scene starts.
But yeah... I still don't see where your hopefulness comes from. I don't want to paint the devil on the wall consistently but if literally no one is even mentioning 1016 & 1018 that's extremely concerning.
Even 1001 was hyped up a week or longer prio and that just had 1 notable scene.
I'll gladly take everything back if i'm proven wrong. But all signs point to that conclusion, it's quite unbelievable honestly. again the thing that makes me angry the most is that they're going all out for the tama episode. At least more than for the rooftop episode prior. That's so crazy to think about
