On the one hand, congratulations on reaching the 1000 episodes mark, One Piece anime. On the other, if the pacing of the anime hadn't slowed to crawl after the time skip, we needn't be here yet. Though perhaps given the inherently long natures of Dressrosa, Whole Cake Island and Wano, we'd only be a hundred episodes lesser even if with more chapters adapted per episode.
Also I have no idea how anyone plans to physically own the anime or the manga at this point. Both can take up the space of an entire bookshelf at this point. |

Sure, its been a ride, but it would have been better had they adapted the 1000th chapter on the 1000th episode, which they had 1 chance to do. Instead they kept it slow and only adapted the rest of 989 up to page 5 of 990. The real celebration will be around episode 1010 when chapter 1000 will air. Unfortunately, I assume they'll treat it as a normal episode and won't promote it like they did ep 1000 even though they promoted chapter 1000 heavily it last year. |

So with the praise of the Oars stuff, are we just going to forget that they just re-used the exact same flashback from only 2 episodes ago?

1002: I actually found that during all the non-X-Drake scenes the animation quality took a pretty sharp nosedive. Weird-looking stills/frames really gave the feeling of "Okay, 1000 was two weeks ago, back to the regular junk now".

This fight between the Akazaya and Kaido was easily one of my favorite battle scenes from the entire series. Toei is just knocking it out of the park with the big climactic moments in this arc. It's been an absolute joy to watch.

I think you (Anime News Network) should consider changing how you do episode reviews.
Due to OP's pacing, it feels like most reviews now are just "here's a summary of things and bits I found cool". I don't blame the reviewer. I am assuming that writing in depth about an anime that routinely adapts less than a chapter per episode is difficult. Not only that but I wouldn't be surprised if the reviewer is only getting paid for these short lengths as well. These reviews (in my opinion) aren't very interesting due to these factors outside of the author's control. Please consider reviewing more episodes at a time. You could do two episodes at a time or even four episodes at a time once a month. With so little happening each episode, and with the reviewer having to open and close each small review, it just feels monotonous. Grant Jones deserves a chance to show his writing/critic chops; this current format isn't doing that. |

Agreed. But Luffy is the “man” who will become Pirate King.

I actually second the motion someone already mentioned and you seem to prime in this review...you are talking about Wano and One Piece week after week after week. This week's double review I think actually serves you better. It gives you more to talk about and has some bigger moments to discuss.
I would be fine with switching your weekly reviews to a bi-weekly schedule. Especially if it gives you more time to dig into themes and ideas. I would at least test it until the end of Wano. Just a suggestion, but doing so might get people more engaged with these reviews especially if you have a hot take or a interesting ideas/thoughts on some big moments. |

Ngl, Wano ark is getting tediously boring. Doesn't help that next week's episode is a recap. Why so many recaps? As the boys in Letterkenny would say, pitter patter. Get to the final fight with Kaido. All these little side fights and ice oni drama is kinda meh.

I stopped reading the manga not long after Wano started, shortly after Kaidou kicked Luffy's while barely noticing him. Doesn't this describe pretty much every One Piece arc? |

Lame! Hated this episode. Why is that clown still alive when they had such a great episode where he was killed. Wano fatigue at its worst with them pulling off this bullshit.

So hey, could we maybe NOT blatantly spoil the gotcha moment from last episode right in the thumbnail and description on the homepage? Not everyone gets the chance to watch the new episode within 24 hours of it being released. I usually watch with a group of friends later in the week, but now I know exactly what's going to happen without even looking for it. This should be a no-brainer, guys.

I really hate how the fights are filled with useless vfxs.
It's so god damn confusing, why do they feel the need to add all of that mess? Yeah, sure - "they're not really here", "that is just an artistic choice" ... uuh... no? It's a mess dood... come on, man... damn.
I know, right? There were an enormous spoiler in the homepage, some days ago. Guess they just don't care enough? |

Even if Film Red didn't exist, it would still be worth remembering that one additional reason for these anime tie-in episodes or more generally speaking for "filler" episodes as a whole is significantly more practical and reasonable than that acknowledged in the review.
To put it in simple terms, the teams of animators responsible for bringing you all that good animation quality during the Wano arc can still use a break from time to time to catch their breath. They're not machines, so any opportunity to have someone else step in for a couple of weeks is valuable from their perspective. You'll get back to all of that Wano content sooner rather than later. That said, this particular situation is slightly awkward. I assume the original plan was for these couple of "anime only" episodes to air before the official premiere of the movie in Japan. That didn't happen, apparently due to the unexpected delays in the broadcast schedule when Toei's servers were compromised earlier. Therefore, most people in Japan were able to go see the movie without first looking at these episodic preludes, which are thus confirmed as entirely optional rather than obligatory. They can still give you a little extra context for the film, but particularly if you're outside of Japan or France, which is more or less ironic in this specific case. |
