Oh neat, I didn’t realize there would get reviewed.
I’m also a bit mixed on the concept, but if any arc needed a remaster, it’s definitely this one. |

I thought this arc was the least enjoyable of the series the first time around, but I'm intrigued by the idea of a "DB Kai" version. I'm eager to see if this shortened version plays better. If the whole show was retroactively trimmed in this way it would make the series vastly more accessible to newcomers. I constantly have people tell me that they're hesitant to get on the One Piece train because of how many episodes it has.

Yeah, if I were to recommend One Piece to someone, I'd probably encourage them to watch the original anime for Fishman Island, flaws and all, over the remaster. Perhaps I'd reconsider if / when they do this for every post-timeskip arc, but I feel like the "fixed" pacing and change in animation style would be jarring if you went from pre-timskip to remastered Fishman Island and then back to regular One Piece. I guess you'd eventually return to the updated animation style, but the pacing would still be iffy. I'm also of the opinion that there's something endearing about the original, especially when you don't have to wait week-to-week for new episodes (until you get live, that is). I'm still in the middle of trying to catch up with both the manga and anime following a self-imposed hiatus, so I won't be tuning in for this remaster, but I wish everyone a happy journey. I still feel like a complete production hiatus would have been better, but I'm glad the anime has finally taken a break.

There were some editing mistakes that I really wonder how they could even happen:
- Fake Nami just teleports to Real Nami's side before Ussop's intro Also, even though I loved the ED, I think a proper full We Go!!! version was the way to huh.. go as faithfully as posible to the original run (they could have just remade the original OP with the new art instead of having to make a new one). Still I have to admit that I loved how fast this was after many, many years of dealing with the 1 or less than 1 chapter per episode. I lost it at Chopper thinking that Luffy just got a little fat or that Sanji was ok with Zoro going to Fishman Island on the wrong ship. Also, I really miss the New World base outfits for the Strawhats, Nami's jeans + bikini combo has aged better than I thought (I remember the outrage when it was revealed), I am a little less entusiastic of the weird leather jacket that Robin has, but she will get the superior outfit by Dressrosa's Special Edit Version. |

The flow of the scenes in this one is trash, is literally a clip show at times, the most obvious example is the teleporting Nami impostor.

Re-editing 2.5 original episodes into 1 is a bit too extreme, it perfectly shows that modern battle shonen pacing doesn't quite work with One Piece. The content is just too dense, you need some moments to breath, there's lack of build up and impact with pacing like this.

The point of this remaster is to give FI a visual overhaul, so if they're gonna do it again arcs like Punk Hazard and Dressrosa will get the same treatment. Heavily depends on Fuji TV and what they'll allow. (Dressrosa is very long) And I'd argue the pacing in here is more iffy than in the regular anime, the staff have learned to take advantage of the limited adaptation rate. They show things that Oda off screened, implied or skipped. This feels just a bit too rushed with bizzare transitions and cuts. But I'm still glad this side project exists. The show's production values nowadays are so high it's understandable the staff want to keep delivering such quality, not to mention the fact that they aren't working on this, it's a separate team. |

Even if you were to trim a lot of the fat you’d likely at minimum would still be looking at a 500-700 episode series. |

I don't think there's any theoretical cut of OP that's even slightly more accessible to newcomers. Anything over 100 epiosdes is gonna be a hard sell.

Putting "The One Piece" by Wit Studio into this. It depends on when you start. If newcomers would start it when it starts or close to that, then the eventual 100's of episodes won't feel like a lot. Of course it's too late to say that about the original series. |
