One Pace Lives:

Five months after their previous release, One Pace has finally released its next episode.  The delay is inscrutable but at least it's over.  Unless they wait another five months for their next release. . .

The One Pace project is to squish down the number of One Piece episodes by cutting out filler, which is scattered throughout every ep of the original series.  It's done very professionally and very well, to the point you don't even notice.  It feels like One Pace is the genuine release and One Piece the ripoff.

After getting used to One Pace releases, I couldn't stomach watching One Piece anymore.  Then One Pace suddenly stopped releasing so now I couldn't watch the franchise at all.  It was pretty awful but with One Pace's return all is well.

The two recent releases from One Pace are Enies Lobby 12 and Wano 8.  Be sure to update your One Piece archives accordingly.

I'm done with Index Genesis Testament (GT) 1.  The story begins with a tease of what we really want, Touma's humorous unlucky life and romantic development with Mikoto.  Then it veers off into an endless battle with super powered foes, which Touma somehow overcomes like always.  Very typical Index, but at this point I'm kind of tired of all the fighting and just want the school romance portion to be the entire story.  Also, 'The Will to Power' has been dropped from my music hall of fame due to not being good enough to merit 100 listens.
