I think this idea that the choreography has always been bad is massively exaggerated. Back when Oda used to give fights the necessary page count for actual exchanges to take place and back when his line art wasn't this rough and sketchy, fights did consistently look pretty cool. Here is a...

Mostly had the scene that precedes the final kick in mind, the barrage of hits with the cool sketchy animation style. But yeah, the last strike could have been much better.

At least anime gave us one really cool sequence out of it. The only climatic action scene with no over the top aura lightshow or DBZ style zooming at 700mph in the whole arc.

Does this matter? He was still an unstoppable monster they were completely powerless against. Surely an acknowledgment of the WG's hidden strength from any of those guys would have been warranted considering they experienced it first hand. I could get behind that somewhat if the hunting...

Unless Oda decides to go for a memory wipe kind of situation after the facts (which would bring its own problems), he's written himself into one hell of a corner here. I was already iffy about this genocide game being a regular thing the celestial dragons do considering how much suspension of...

Most of the asterisks in this fight are in support of Kizaru's performance tho... He was not in it emotionally and was dealing with internal struggles. He was constantly distracted by the need to pursue his mission. He was explicitely told to not cause damage to the facilities. So despite...

My point is that Kaido isn't some entity with a pre set level of power that exists beyond the reach of Oda's pencil. If he wanted awakening in his skill set, a simple writing adjustment would have done the trick without any need to overall make him any weaker or stronger. Basically, awakening...

Never really understood this justification here. One Piece is a story. If Oda wanted to write awakening as part of Kaido or Big Mom's skillset, he could have simply made their base powers weaker and more limited and reserved the full breadth of what they can do to awakening. No need to even...

Looks much better with the paler purple for the face.

This was beautifully made from start to finish. Animation was full of life and personality, the whole premise with the focus on average people and their perception of the SHs is not only fun with tons of potential for humor that was very well exploited (the bar scene lol), they also managed to...

Woah wasn't expecting purple skin lol Cover looks pretty good though overall...

Cool to see Ishitani directing the "Fan Letter" thingy. Lots of personality and life in the presentation. Anyway, hope the break will lead to better pacing going forward. As normal as it's been for OP, the 1 chapter per episode standard isn't a great viewing experience. Only a couple of...

Hopefully they return with 2 or chapters adapted per episode because this is a good opportunity to let the manga get even more of a lead and somewhat fix the pacing...

Tbh seeing how little Oda cared in portraying the drastic jump in strength between G2 and G3 and between G3 and G4 in the Kaido fight, I see very little point in the partial G4 thing. It just doesn't feel like a very exciting improvement when Kaido was reacting to G4 the exact same way he was...
