The anime is mandated to only cover ONE manga chapter per episode.
On one hand, this prevents anime-only filler, which is the trap Naruto and Shippuden (especially the latter) fell into.
On the other hand, this gives the anime some serious pacing issues, which are a major reason I could never get into it. A manga chapter that takes 8-10 minutes to read, tops, is stretched out across at least 22 minutes.
Not that it'll matter here. It's Netflix. It WILL be woke.
And the thing people forget is: One Piece started in 1999, right after Oda finished the first arc(the east blue arc). Pacing issues have ALWAYS been a thing. While I am a bit more wary around netflix, especially after what they did with Jojo(just dump it all instantly)...I'm cautiously optimistic. People seem to forget how the series had fillers for ages, now they just stall but the fillers were still intrusive. I've always said I want a reanimation of One Piece with current techniques, with better pacing and seasonal like MHA or Jujutsu Kaisen. So we've gotta wait and see, I'd hazard to guess it'll be at least better than the anime we currently have. If it'll be great we gotta wait for.

Usually, for a battle manga it would be 2.5 chapters per episode ish. the fan project one pace made a great comparison. It is absolutely ridiculous how long they stretch out one attack.
Oh my God, that's atrocious. Glad to see data back up my gut.

The thing is I prefer the Naruto approach, because if an episode is filler I can just skip it but i cant skip an episode if they stretch it out.
