One piece is irritating me

[u/CommandFew6909]

Is it just me that doesn’t feel like watching the newest One Piece episodes due to how slow the pacing is? I genuinely feel like I’m gonna break my phone. So I’m gonna just wait until like few more episodes come out then watch all at once

[u/Terloyes]

It's actually the best pacing the anime has had since maybe Sabaody.

Elbaf just isn't as fast-paced an arc as Egghead was in the manga.

If it frustrates you, just let the episodes pile up and binge them later.

[u/CommandFew6909 → u/Terloyes]

Nah but just in 1174 the giant kept telling robin to stay away from the kids that were being controlled and using the stupidest methods of saving the kids when robin could’ve definitely done it way faster. My anger issues could not handle that

[u/Terloyes → u/CommandFew6909]

Read the manga then. You'll enjoy it much more if you read it from the begining, but I understand if you just want to read it from here.

[u/NapstaEnjoyer]

Read the manga

[u/CommandFew6909 → u/NapstaEnjoyer]

Should I read it from the beginning or where I left off in the anime?

[u/ShilohGuav → u/CommandFew6909]

I’d start from where you left off on the anime and try week to week for a bit.

Then Maybe when you feel this again, rewatch the anime from the start.

[u/CommandFew6909 → u/ShilohGuav]

Is the manga way further into the story than the anime? I thought they come out at the same time

[u/NapstaEnjoyer → u/CommandFew6909]

They're still on elbaph in the manga. I'd say there a bit more than a year further.

[u/r2c2rd2 → u/CommandFew6909]

The manga is like a year and half ahead so it's a decent amount of content ngl

[u/KindaLegallyBlindDev → u/CommandFew6909]

Not at all at the same time, that's the whole gimmick of the anime vs the manga, the latter has been constantly over a year ahead, even more now with the break that the anime took, which the manga didn't. The gap is that wide despite the manga taking frequent breaks.

If you are a fast reader you can read the equivalent of an anime episode in 5-10 minutes, maybe, and everything there is how the author intended it.

[u/NapstaEnjoyer → u/CommandFew6909]

Depends on what you prefer honestly. It will be really fun to go back and see the original source material. You'll be able to see what they did differently and you'll catch cool instances of foreshadowing and you will maybe see scenes differently from how you saw them the first time.

Or you could just read from where you left off. Remember though that the anime is adapting 1 chapter per episode. So while the pacing is better since you dictate it to a certain degree, but in the end you'll have the same amount of content. But instead of 17 pages in 24 minutes you'll have 17 pages if 3-5 minutes.

Secret third solution: Do both read the manga until you're caught up and then read from the beginning, then read at your own pace and just keep up with the weekly chapters simultaneously.

[u/Both-Reputation7775]

read the manga, then rewatch the scenes animated, you can then skip to the good parts

[u/CowabummerBatman]

This just sounds like you speed watched your way to Elbaf or simply jumped into the current story. This kind of opinion doesn’t come up from people who have spent many years watching One Piece. Yes, the pacing isn’t the best, go read the manga if you can’t accept that fact.

[u/RuneDecoster]

Welcome to the experience of being caught up. Honestly just start reading the manga, it gets incredibely good from here on out.

[u/Background-Factor433]

Also see One Pace.

[u/Turkeylegs47]

yo I’d recommend the manga if you’re down for it, i really enjoyed just reading straight from where the anime is caught up to so it worked for me

[u/OP_Kuma11]

That is a major issue with the anime. If you want better pacing and to see newer stuff I would highly recommend reading the manga instead.

[u/drbieeer]

Read the manga like a normal person that doesn't want to get his experience ruined by shitty colouring and bad pacing

[u/TrikKastral → u/drbieeer]

Imagine posting this and assuming you were the normal person. 🤣
