One Piece thread (Spoilers)

Neh. In my opinion, One Piece would be a far better anime if they'd add in some damn filler, or take a significant break to let the anime fall quite far behind the manga, so they could do 2-3 chapters an episode like fairy tail does. I can stand the pacing in the anime anymore (not that manga is much better).

Once the anime essentially degraded to this (Just replace the golden sun characters with One piece characters)

I gave up watching it.

I disagree, the manga and anime are slow right now because it's a lot of information he's trying to push in. It's in one of those budding stages where a lot of stories are about to open. The anime is following exactly what the manga is doing, lots of talk. My friend doesn't read the manga and still enjoys the episodes, but it's all opinionated at this point.

Also they had filler with ace/luffy. I'm sure they will have a filler arc after they deal with the arc the manga's currently in.
