Yeah, nah, I think this episode is a lot better than that for a large number of reasons.(they're both great episodes)

Firstly, the snakeman episode had a really extensive recap and a long fairly meandering flashback before we actually got into the action(the action starts at like 7 minutes in).

It was roughly half way through the first half that Luffy and Katakuri actually begin fighting. The first half of 870 has the best highlights of that fight from Masami Mori and Koudai Watanabe.

The second half then starts off with a rather slow and uninteresting filler scene with Sanji and Pudding before going back into the action again. The filler scene sort of kills the pace of the episode a bit, but it doesn't stick around for two long. The action in the second half is excellent, but not quite as strong as the highlights from the first, and the finisher is broken up by a small filler scene as well.

1062 on the other hand goes right into the action fairly early at like 3 minutes in, and it doesn't really stop.

Sure, there are a few dialogue scenes and very minor flashbacks, but once the action gets going, it keeps going until the end of the first half, which is actually the shorter half of the episode.

The second half starts off with a flashback which is a lot more interesting than the filler scenes in 870, setting up some further emotional stakes for the fight, before it hits the ground running, and just doesn't stop until pretty much the very end of the episode.

The second half of 1062 is even stronger than the first, and has animation highlights from Vincent Chansard and Yen BM that are not only longer than Koudai Watanabe and Masami Mori's scenes from 870, but also just miles more impressive.

So yeah, I think its more than reasonable to say that 1062 is the better episode overall.

Its not really surprising either.

870 was the best the production could do during WCI.

1062 is the best the production can manage during Wano, which has a much much stronger production that has been building up steam over more than 170 episodes. I think there is no better evidence for that than the fact that 1062 came following off the heels of 1061, which was another absolutely amazing episode production wise.

In contrast, what came before 870 was 869, which was a lacklustre and rough around the edges episode.

And this Zoro fight is badly written in the manga and then it’a animated with a bunch of colors and DBZ effects… And it made shit up and changed what was written in the manga

One piece animation is really weird haha

Compared to most anime that have season anime and one graphic identity for all of it, OP has numerous animators with quite different styles. It’s a bit disturbing. Make you wonder how One Puece would look like with season anime and consistent animation and a coherent style.


Sanji animator and animation really suited Sanji while this one suited Zoro

animators dont change their style because an anime goes from seasonal to weekly or vice versa.
The reason why the One piece anime has different styles is because....
the anime allows freedom. As simple as that.
Animators are artists. They want their touch on their sequence, their artstyle to flourish and show the world.

Which artist wouldn't want to work on a show that leaves their art (and now this is an important word:) uncorrected?

That's what seperates One Piece from most other seasonals. This "consistency" in style you're talking about, is Animation directors ensuring all characters are as on-model as possible. While it allows a quality assurance for weaker Animators - basically improving on their drawings - veteran or special animators run fear that their cuts may get corrected and their work butchered.

I'm not saying this would never happen on One Piece, but the likelihood of that is 10x lower because of the production philosophy the Wano team has been adopting. That's why so many talented people want to work on wano. Not because of budget or because the manga is so amazing. Sure they play a role for one or the other person working on the show. But it really is this artistic freedom that draws in everyone. The other stuff like Good scheduling the team managed to established, actual decent pay (for anime industry standards) and a cool series for some are just bonus points.
If one piece would restrict animators artistic freedoms and go for coherency and consistency, you 100% best bet you will end up with the vast majority of the staff leaving.

Prime example: My Hero academia after Season 3. This is exactly what happened there.
