One Piece’s Fishman Island Remake Dubbed Rushed by Fans

Fans May Finally Begin to Appreciate the Pacing of the Original Series

When the Fishman Island Saga remake was first announced , fans were initially quite excited to see the arc remastered . Toei ’s brio quality has meliorate astronomically since the Wano Arc and the remakehad the voltage to amend not only the visuals but also the pacingof the bow .

However , now that the remake has finally been exhaust , fans are quite shared out on the issue , with some loving the novel changes and others being less prepared to continue watching it as seen in this post on X by a fan calledSoul_StormOP , which has garnered quite a fleck of tending . The master beef that many lover have with the remaster is its tempo , which is beyond ironic given howOne Piece ’s pacing has been the biggest criticismof the serial for over two X .

Eiichiro Oda has a utterly justifiable reason for One Piece ’s sluggish pacing it is oddly exactly what makes the series as great as it is .

However , as the office above states , removing these scenes make the story feel much less impactful . Though they may seem like a waste of time , not properly set up the stage with establishing shots or not dwelling on a character ’s interactions and reaction when call for greatly accept aside from the tension . While the original series doubtlessly has certain moments that are drawn out far too much , the real reasonOne Piecehas never failed to make even the most inconsequential moments sense impactful is that the series has alwaystaken its sweet time and perhaps the new remaster may ultimately aid rooter prize this fact .

One Piece’s New Remaster Isn’t As Bad As It Seems

A One-For-One Remake Would Be Impossible

While some critiques of the remaster are valid in that the first episodedoes contain a few embarrassing cuts here and thereat the beginning , the episode is still a fairly accurate adjustment of the manga , which is what fans have been wanting for the longest time . Admittedly , the first installment itself was wad with two and a half episode deserving of content from the original serial , which signify it does keep the story fairly compact . However , despite fans ' complaint , there is arguably a very fairish explanation for why the remaster is maintaining such a warm pace .

A one - for - one remaking of the pilot would not only be pointless , but alsologistically impossible . WithOne Piece ’s Egghead Arc being on hiatus until April 2025 , the anime presently has 22 weeks at best to air the young remaster , that is , not consider any broadcasting issues that could cause delays . However , the original Fishman Island Saga is 57 episode long , which means it wouldsimply not be potential to cover the entire saga in 22 weekswithout keep a tight pace of 2.5 episode of the pilot for every episode of the novel remaster .

Overall , though it may not be perfect , One Piece ’s new remaster is still an splendid way to fill the void until the anime render with the exciting Egghead Arc in April . If anything , the remaster will continue to deliver on the visuals , which should be reasonableness enough for fans to continue support the remaster , as it may yet surprise rooter in the future .
