it looks fun to watch that's what i'm telling you it's like buzz lightyear
that one was a good one this one's kind of more of a kid
welcome to your grand journey what the [ __ ] dude i can't get loose you two young pirates
are about to embark on a journey the likes of which you have never seen did you really knock
us out tie us up just to make us watch one piece that is not important what's important
is that you now embark on a path to glory come on man shall we begin one pace that was one piece
if i were to make a guess i would assume that most of you watching right now are either manga readers
or anime watchers manga is definitely a great way to consume one piece it's definitely the
most accurate version of the story and fastest way to catch up but a lot of people might argue
that the manga doesn't have that sense that the anime carries with all the music the animation
and the legendary to be continued at the end of every episode which i would absolutely agree
with however the toei animation adaptation of the manga isn't really what most people
would expect an anime adaptation to look like these days most newcomers to anime are very
used to the seasonal format where basically the producers of the show will take three to four
sometimes five manga chapters per episode and then condense it into a 12 or 24 episode season
because they take their time with these yearly or even longer releases the episodes usually
turn out being amazing with wonderful pacing virtually no filler at all and really beautiful
animations these are shows like my hero academia jiu-jitsu kaizen demon slayer or even mob psycho
100 and also like the recently released spy x family and the new upcoming chainsaw man one
piece's anime has been desperately trying not to catch up to the manga for nearly 25 years they
release episodes nearly every single week so how do the producers of the one piece anime prevent
it from catching up to the manga we'll take this scene for example this entire sumo match segment
of the wano arc takes up over four minutes of run time in that episode but in the manga it
barely takes up a full page the pacing in the one-piece anime is so atrocious sometimes that
a single chapter in the manga can be spread out to three episodes long for those that are curious
if the anime were to follow more accurately the pacing of the manga the anime should only
be like three to four hundred episodes which is still a lot don't get me wrong but not nearly as
much as the over 1 000 episodes you would have to go through to catch up to the series now i'm
speaking from experience here when i say that it can take up to a year sometimes to catch up to
the anime from episode 1. one piece is too long is the complaint i usually get from people who
are considering starting the series and i never give them [ __ ] for it because it's true and most
people just don't have that kind of time i don't want to speak for everybody but a lot of us have
jobs work school kids and some people just can't afford to put it in their schedule and
i can understand being enticed by shorter shows i mean i want to watch other [ __ ] too sometimes
not just one piece i know one piece fans will say things like well it's worth it once you finally
catch up to the series and you can just read the manga if you want to catch up faster but
most people enjoy the anime format over the manga format and even more people are not even manga
readers to begin with and also just saying that it's worth it at the end even if it is doesn't
automatically free up their schedule so what really is the best way to watch one piece creators
and fans across this community have pondered this question for a very long time anime or manga well
dear viewer what if you could have it both ways what if you could have the best of both worlds
one pace is a non-profit fan made re-edit of the original anime by toei animation its goal is to
present the anime in a way that's more coherent with the original manga basically they cut out
all of the filler episodes the terrible pacing the extended scenes and those crazy four to five
minute recaps at the beginning of each episode here are some absolutely amazing examples you guys
remember dressrosa right the arc that lasted 117 episodes long well guess what one pace was able to
reduce that 117 episode run time all the way down to 48 episodes and that's what like two seasons
of my hero academia and remember that sumo match scene that we were talking about earlier where
luffy beats the crap out of this sumo guy and wanno well check this out so one pace cut 4
minutes and 38 seconds from the scene and made it extremely more watchable i'll go ahead and leave a
link in the description for the direct comparison because it's absolutely insane in total one pace
reduces the episode count of one piece from over 1 000 episodes down to 417 episodes give or take
literally more than half of the entire anime some of the episodes are a little bit longer than
others to help with coherency 30 to 40 minutes and others will end up being as short as 15
minutes they haven't done re-edits of the entire series yet but they are constantly adding edits to
their catalog and eventually the entire series will be done the majority of the content is
already finished and they are constantly adding improvements to it and also i'm not the only one
piece youtuber that's advocating for this i think randy troy was the first one piece youtuber to
comment on this website like two to three years ago and since then a lot of other creators have
gone on board with the one-piece version of the anime to make sure this was actually legit i went
on the one pace website and watched the entire east blue saga from their catalog and the pacing
wasn't even bad back then but the experience was still somehow enhanced if you're a new one-piece
viewer or if you're trying to get somebody you know into the series here is my recommendation for
you start with one pace go to their website and watch all of the episodes up to little garden then
from there switch over to netflix if you have it for drum island alabasta and any of the other arcs
that currently aren't re-edited on their website the pacing doesn't really get bad until post time
skip anyway and they already have the majority of those arcs re-edited on their website the team
behind one pace not being completely done with the entire series is the only downside to switching to
this version at the moment but it's still a vast improvement over watching the original
toei animation version of the anime one pace is a fan project not a corporation with thousands of
different employees they're just a group of really really talented fans who have given themselves the
most difficult task of condensing almost 30 years of one piece into a coherent anime adaptation so
it's definitely going to be a little bit longer until it's completely done so once you've gone
back to netflix and caught up with all of the pre-time skipped stuff that's not on the one
pace website definitely go back to one pace and watch all of the post time skip arcs going all
the way through tawano trust me when you get to the post timeskip arcs that's when you really
see how significant of a difference it makes one thing is definitely for certain one piece
is a million times better than the toei animation version of the anime and i will stand by that 110
i genuinely feel that anybody who's watched one pace or anybody who will watch one pace in the
future will probably tell you the same thing the truth sucks but the reality is the people over at
toei animation only have one thing on their mind staying behind the manga and money the team behind
one pace is working incredibly hard on the series and i could not recommend it enough i've directly
linked to the website in the description below as well as the discord server that way you guys can
be notified every single time they release a new edit i really really hope you guys enjoyed this
video and i hope that i made some new one-piece fans out there for those of you who might want to
know how this amazing series was made i definitely recommend clicking this video right here
