I think this is pretty smart, the original probably isn’t getting more popular, just the same people who’ve stayed caught up over the years, I’ve tried starting it, but that many episodes is quite daunting. Personally I’m much more likely to watch this as it comes out.
Took me 3-4 years to even catch up (no one pace or any other method).
It was cumbersome at times but I was invested for old times sake.If some 3rd party does a summary of every arc in ~1h per arc It would be like a very fast movie. But you’d miss even more subtle developments than with anime vs manga.
Absolutely.
I watched the Netflix show, it was fun, so I thought I might check out the animated series. And dropped that idea quickly again.
If I want to reach the newest episode I’d have to watch three hours a day (no exceptions, not even for Christmas or birthday) for 5 (FIVE) months straight. If I was twelve I might try that, but as an adult I don’t want to commit myself to so much time.
One Pace has almost all the arcs edited down to remove filler and keep the pacing consistent with the manga. It’s about 45% faster than watching the original anime.
It’s worth it though. I’ve been watching for about a year and just hit 600. The show’s writing alone is worth watching for, it’s some of the best that anime has to offer. There’s also not a lot of filler, roughly 10% of the show is filler and it’s not all in a row; it’s also stuff you can easily skip since most of the streaming apps organize the show by arc anyway.
As someone who used to talk shit about this show for over ten years, it’s 100% worth watching.
Cut out all the long ass character dialogues during fights and we can squeeze this into 50 episodes
I’m almost certain that at some point most of the time is wasted from extra long intros and recap portions. There were some episodes where there was maybe 10 minutes of actual new scenes.
Currently watching the English dub and it’s in the middle of the brawl with Kaido - you have to skip the first 5:30 of the episode to get to the episode title and then there’s the outtro which cuts a few more minutes off. It’s a 25 minute show in total so there is about 15ish minutes of new content each episode. I’m pretty sure Enis Lobby was even more egregious, if I can remember correctly.
Don’t get me wrong I love the show but damn they really pad out some of these arcs with bullshit like that.
No
50, probably not. Under 1000? Most assuredly.
Did they think over 1000 episodes wasn’t enough to keep up with?
The episodes must flow
