Man I reeeeeaaaalllllyyyy need to get back into it... I only ever got as far as episode like 450, then I burn out, and when I go to watch it again I start over lol so every time I see a new image I'm like wtf is with this white hair?
I don't want to be spoiled btw, I just need to watch more lol
Try watching One Pace, it's a fan edit of the series that gets rid of filler and stretched scenes. It ends up reducing the overall runtime by 40% and keeps the quality up
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll have to look that up
Post-timeskip is a massive improvement, up until a specific arc (dressrosa) which has, IMO, the worst pacing of the entire series. After dressrosa its hard to stop
As long as you include at least up to Zou the elephant, I agree here. That was the worst "season" in a show that has had many bad seasons. Just insanely tedious filler that served no purpose and had no actual stakes.
Given that i entirely forgot Zou happened, id have to agree xD
Dressrosa was just fucking painful... half an episode or more of recap almost every episode
The whole arc was basically 6 minutes of intro/outro and 15 mintutes of zoomed in reaction shots with maybe 3 minutes of plot/action that mattered. It was pure boredom.
Maybe try reading the manga (colored one if you prefer that). read at you comfort and own pace. and no filler.
