I hate Oda's post-TS art and panelling. It's honestly atrocious in my eyes. Everything is crammed and cluttered. Most panels are incredibly zoomed out, and there's always a million random objects in the background of every panel. I also feel like Oda uses dirt/scratches on character bodies way too frequently and excessively. I suppose this applies mostly starting in Wano tbf.


I wouldn't be mad at someone saying pre-TS One Piece art clears the rest of these though.

Odas peaks are on par with the peaks of those mentioned here, and I genuinely may have put pre timeskip Odas arts (specifically Skypeia and Alabasta) art as number 2 (I like Kubos style the most) but current Oda? He’s at the bottom imo.

Looking at the five elders panel, that should feel intimidating but it doesnt. The lack of shading and detail in exchange for big double panel shots of multiple people has been a huge hit to Odas style imo.

These.
Pre ts he made some marvelous stuff. Post ts his art just feels alright.
I never find my self being stunned at how good his art is anymore. I can find my self stunned at some of the character designs (like the Gorosei reveal) and some flashbacks/development, but not the art.
The combat has kind of fell off too.
