      You just need to cut away <roughly 75% of it>.

      Hey now, there’s no need to bring Farscape into this. (I’m joking. But Farscape was famously adapted into a very watchable re-cut that throws out a great deal of the original film.)

        You take that back!

        I never knew about the recut, but presumably it gets rid of a lot of the monster-of-the-week content?

        I don’t think any of that was actually bad. It didn’t move the overarching plot along all the time, but that wasn’t the point.

      Ain’t that the truth. There used to be a shortened version of Naruto on utube that was like a third the length of the full versions, with out lose of any content.

        There’s a fan project recutting One Piece like that, and Dragon Ball Z Kai was an official series.

        I think anime has switched almost entirely to a seasonal format for related reasons. Filler just doesn’t serve a purpose if you don’t need to regularly fill a time slot on a live channel.

      sometimes i watch with 4x speed. most times 1.25 or 1.5. they really like to stretch some things out. “go parn. save deedlit. i’ll deal with it.” “are you sure?” “go parn.” “are you sure?” “go parn.” “are you really, really sure?” get in the fucking robot. shinji

    After reading basically all of the comments here, I’m gonna dissent and say that the first 300eps of one piece are great and I disagree with people saying they aren’t. The show is not a speedrun. I loved the openings and endings. Skip the recap when it grates on you because over time it gets longer and longer; I remember some episodes having like 6 minutes of recap, which is absolutely unacceptable, regardless of how complex the war-like battles with multiple factions are.

    I was greatly saddened by the decision to get rid of outros, and the double length into drags. The show can admittedly be slow in a lot of places, but nowhere near as egregious as a lot of people make it out to be. I LIKE shows that take it easy and have world building and vibe building.

    If One Pace does it for you, though, all the power to you. That’s a great project.

      Yeah, I’m always surprised at how common the opinion “one piece gets good after 50 episodes” is. One piece was pretty fun from the very start to me. Later episodes actually get worse for me because of how much they drag. I had to switch over to One Pace in dressrosa because I thought the actual plot was amazing, but I couldn’t handle the pace of the actual show.

    🐒 The One Piece is REAL! ⚓

    All episodes up to Episode 37 showcases well of what the entire series is all about.
    If you are not into it by 37 episodes in, I don’t think One Piece is for you.
    I’ve also seen one too many haters turn their tune by then.
    I no longer watch the series at release, instead I watch with other reactors that I feel like calling my Nakama.
    🥹 Beware: prepare to cry & bring a towel to catch those tears. This series can & will draw raw emotion out of you.

    I would not watch 36 episodes or play 150 hours. But…

    … don’t dismiss something too quickly. I watched One Cut Of The Dead, and the gimmick of that movie was (I thought) that it was filmed in one take. But holy shit, bad acting, bad sfx, and super cheap production quality. Dropped it after twenty minutes.

    And then I read fantastic reviews, thank god spoiler free. So I sat down again, started it, and somehow made it through the first thirty minutes. And holy fuck, it had a brilliant pay off! More than worth it to pay attention this half hour!

    With anime I give them three episodes to get me hooked. For games I draw my personal line for 5 hours.

    But not 36 episodes. Or 150 hours :)

    I got bored after 8 episodes.

    I thought it was so cool since protestors in Nepal used the pirate flag thing in the Gen Z protests, so I was like: did I miss out on a great Anime?

    Nope, boooring. (no offense to the fans, but it just aint for me)

    But the opening was cool tho…
