I think everyone collectively agrees hiatus > padded content. I stopped watching around whole cake island because episodes we're going a quarter chapter. I'm glad their finally starting to see this, I'm guessing the previous approach was starting to lose viewership or just not be as profitable as it used to be.

Which is one of the reasons why I typically recommend One Pace over the actual series to people. It fixes just about all of the issues I had with watching the series. It also makes it easier to get caught up if you've lagged pretty far behind the weekly schedule.

Thanks kind stranger! Just started the series and found onepace•me

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

what's one pace? Just the main story?

[–] CrazyLikeGollum@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's a fan made project that cuts out the recaps, the filler arcs, and most of the OP and ED sequences, keeping one of each at the beginning/end of each arc. It then condenses a lot of the story arcs and reorders some events to (mostly) fix the pacing issues of One Piece and cut down on the run time while preserving the original story.

They've got a website out there, but I can't link to it here, since it's technically a pirate site. No pun intended. It should come up with a google search though.

okay, that's great to know about. I'm always looking for supercuts, are there any other supercuts of super long anime like Naruto or bleach, because I started watching them and then I'm like fuck off. I'm not doing 900 episodes of maybe filler, I just want the story of premise I enjoy.

a fan project that cuts out everything thats not in the manga. so all the filler, but also added reaction shots etc. are gone

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

okay, thanks. how much does that cut the series down?

[–] CrazyLikeGollum@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They say it's about 40% faster to watch. Which they say currently saves about 150 hours.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

40% of it is filler? damn.

I'm always looking around for these supercuts, I'd love one of Naruto or bleach, I feel like half of naruto is unwatchable filler.

[–] lemonmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Thanks, no-tits!

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I made it up to like 950 then stopped.

[–] mo_lave@reddthat.com 12 points 2 days ago

The One Piece (hiatus) is real! :o

[–] Signtist@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This works out perfectly for me. I started watching the anime a few months ago, but I lost steam around halfway through, so this gives me some time to take a break before catching up!

[–] amzd@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (3 children)

You watched 500 episodes in a couple months?

[–] Signtist@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

3, but yeah. I'd have them on while I was working since the pacing is pretty easy to follow. Plus I'd read the manga back in the early 2000's, so I could remember the major plot points well enough without needing to devote my full attention.

[–] BakedCookie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

I watched from 1 to like 1040 over the course of a month or so. I had more free time back then.

[–] Chadus_Maximus@lemm.ee -1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Well usually it's supposed to take less than a month so he's not really doing anything impressive. 12 days of watch time when there are 30 days in a month. Assuming you sleep for 8 hours, you even have around 4 hours left for various activities!

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

There's over a thousand issues now right? I think they deserved a break.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Woah a fishman island remaster that fixes the sound, visuals, AND PACING?

[–] djsoren19@yiffit.net 3 points 2 days ago

honestly very interested in what the recut Fishman Island will be. I think that arc is probably the worst one in the anime, but I really love a lot of the characters, Fisher Tyger especially. I'm actually interested in seeing it touched up.
