One Piece to One Pace:

The latest episode of One Piece was so bad, so slow, so dragged out, so full of filler, that it was basically unwatchable.  The only way to salvage this series is to watch the One Pace version alone.  Previously I've been watching One Piece for the first time, and One Pace for the second, but this is impossible.  One Piece is now so bad, so slow, so ridiculous, that it's become a parody of itself.  Only One Pace is authentic One Piece anime at this point.  Only One Pace is a great anime.

It didn't used to be this way.  In the beginning, One Piece would routinely cover two chapters of content per episode, just like One Pace does now.  But now One Piece has settled on a routine of .5 chapters per episode, 1/4 what it should be.  It's horrifying.  It's painful.

They've mutilated this series.  This manga does not deserve such an awful adaption.  Thank God for the fan edit.  Due to One Pace, there's no reason why anyone has to put up with this show any longer.

At their current adaption speed, I would expect 12 episodes of One Pace per year.  A monthly anime series as opposed to weekly, sort of like what we saw from Katanagatari or Emiya-san no Chi no Gohan.

It's a lot less One Piece than before, but a lot better One Piece than before.  I'm okay with that.  The fact is the anime is only 40 chapters behind the current chapter of the manga, so they can't go any faster than one episode a month anyway.  But it does mean One Piece will no longer show up in my weekly anime/manga situational report.  It's no longer a weekly show as far as I'm concerned.
