REVIEW: One Piece Season 6 Part 3 DVD

Man, as bad as some of the scenes look during this arc, they're freaking Bone's level compared to how the current arc looks animation wise.

Did Toei's animation department forget how to do proper animation as the series went along?

I think One Piece would benefit from a Fairy Tail style 1 yeah break

Probably, but I doubt that'll ever happen. One Piece is incredibly popular in Japan so they want to keep making episodes as fast as possible. Still, aside from a couple of episodes in part 2, they animation's never been so bad that it was a serious detriment.

Oh yeah i get it, people overreact on the One Piece subreddit all the damn time, every frame can't be prefect folks.

I understand wanting to see a good product and I understand the business have budgets too.

Things are never as easy as, "Well just make it look better."

some of the background music sounds like it belongs in Ranma ½ rather than One Piece.

It is not difficult at all to find stuff to talk about. Just talk about the episode and where they are in the story. They used to do commentaries for the big episodes like the character backstories, big showdowns, etc. The story is always progressing, new things are always happening, new characters are always showing up, and they don't have the same characters on every commentary anyway, so things happen between appearances that they could talk about. Honestly it has become insulting how the commentaries lately just have nothing to do with the show. This one was pretty bad, but Season 6 part 4 they just quit caring. I'd rather they didn't have commentaries anymore. It makes me feel embarrassed for even wanting to listen to them when apparently it's just a big joke for them.

It's a time thing. They're just so close to the manga they have to drag everything out and shit gets lazy.

The anime has proved a huge cash cow for Toei but with Oda stretching out the current Dressrosa arc as far as possible, there is more and more that they have to put into the anime episode while trying not to catch up to the manga series. Considering also that Oda talks a mandatory break from the series every once in a while, I don't think it would hurt to maybe have them do a special episode that has nothing to do with the main story every once in a while like a few years ago. I am pretty sure once Dressrosa finishes that they will insert a filler arc in there too.

They're ability to do filler relies on Oda not screwing them again. With Dressrosa he wrote it so the Strawhats HAD to arrive the following morning after Punk Hazard, while Doffy and the citizens were confused by the newspaper, so the filler was relegated to a two episode thing that took place in one night, now with the crew split up now it may become difficult to insert a properly timed filler.

...others make it look like [Zoro]'s keeping a sword shoved down his pants.
