Is this the World's fastest Donut? (One Piece latest Ep 870, spoilers)
- Thread starter Principate

Oof... not gonna lie, that was awesome. I stopped watching the anime almost 10 years ago and have been reading the manga exclusively ever since then. Scenes like these almost make me want to start watching again.
Then I think about how they adapt less than a chapter per episode and am fine with sticking to the manga and watching some snippets that are animated like this.

Nice to see the anime finally doing something cool again. Was the rest of the episode reaction shots, slow pans, and repeated jokes?
The better question is: how is it still so good?
Granted, I think its best days are behind it, but it's still damn good.
Exactly this. The series is at it's best when the crew is together and that just isn't happening post time-skip.
Alabasta remains the height of the series for me, followed closely by Water 7 and Thriller Bark.
It's shame OP has lost that sense of unity and adventure for me, but it's winding now so it's only natural.
Always great to see top tier moments animated. I still long for the days of filler arcs when you could essentially treat the anime like it was on break and come back to well-paced episodes.
I don't really understand this. One Piece has never kept the crew together as a rule. They always get split up into smaller groups.

Oh snap. They animated this part already? Didn't this just happen in the manga last year?
I don't really keep up with One Piece anymore (stopped around Christmas 330 or so) but I remember someone mentioning Luffy getting bodied in the manga. I read it and the art was good but the panels were just too busy for me.
The animated it beautifully though.

Wacky Pirate adventures. Operative word being wacky. The adventures involve exploring highly surreal and cartoonish world.
Yeah, I'm a manga reader too. Looking forward to that day lol. Even when it happens we've gone years like this. Even if we were in the world of One Piece, you go a little over two years without seeing your friends and when you do, you get to Fishman Island and split up almost instantly!
They have never split up to go to completely different locations before the time-skip. They were always on the same island and split up to accomplish certain goals or defeat certain foes. And my favourite parts were always them just chilling on the flying lamb together. They haven't been travelling together on the ship for years now.
Oh, man, One Piece sakuga always feels so good. Can't wait to watch the episode later tonight.
Hard to believe it's been a year since Snake Man.

The most current arc reunites them for the first time in years IRL. They split up near the beginning of the Dressrosa arc in mid 2013, and now are all present in Wano as of 2018 (all but Sanji were present together at Zou, but that was very brief)
One day when I'm old and disabled I will watch all of One Piece and finally witness the Great Anime.
Until then these videos are still plenty entertaining without context. That's a fast donut!

To be honest outside of this particular episode the anime kind of blows.

Nah it blows after Shabondy. Up to that point it's fairly decent.
I used to love the anime but had to stop watching when they started to change the pacing to 0.75-1 chapter per episode. Every event gets stretched out (/drum roll) and loses all tension with horrible pacing and 10 million reaction shots. The only way I could stomach Fishman Island was to watch the One Pace version, I hope something is done like that for Big Mom arc but I haven't checked in a long time.
I wish the animators would stop making Luffy's arms stretch the length of stadiums whenever he's in Gear 4.
End of Amazon Lily is my personal cutoff point I tell people. Impel Down comes off as much more dark and serious in the manga plus the animation after Amazon fully tanks and stays consistently bad.

They've been adapting manga chapters into episodes at a rate that's close to 1:1 for a while now. It sucks. They probably want to keep the anime a year behind the manga so that they don't have to rush production.
Loved that fight. The animation kicked some ass.
Still not gonna watch the anime consistently tho.
...yes. lol

This is too harsh this like less than half the fight, the fight itself is well animated and takes up over half the episode. There just some poor quality flashback filler and Sanji filler that makes up the rest.
It's actually less than 1 chapter an episode now, probably because of Oda taking regular breaks about once every 4 weeks
To be fair not a lot happens chapter by chapter. But It got to suck waiting for the big moments to be animated

The stretch after this though is back to-back entertaining stuff with some of the best chapters this manga's in the mini-arc.
Though the Reverie stuff also literally included places in the manga where they remind people of what went on with certain characters, and you just know they're going to stretch that the fuck out in the anime
I thought the chase was stretched a bit thin, but then again that is one of the things animation helps with.
Yeah the next arc is hella entertaining and interesting.
