There is a lot to say about the one piece pacing and many people have done discussions and videos on it but there is one thing many people don’t talk about and I can’t understand is that, Why do most anime companies think it’s better to have the episodes of a anime go on as one big season rather then multiple seasons?
I understand that they probably just want to get out as many episodes as possible but at the same time I don’t think people understand that having multiple seasons doesn’t mean there just doing it to torture us.
Having many seasons helps not only with the better animation, it helps the number of episodes not go over or overlap with the manga, and it helps the pacing with 2-3 chapters with each episode. Because the one piece anime decided to still do episodes every week rather than have a season every arc or so, the pacing went completely down hill as each episode went barely anywhere.
