>One Piece anime will become biweekly starting from 2026. It will only have 26 episodes per year.Basically fuck you, toei. They fear Wit remake
Was this the last long running anime series adapting a manga?
>>283357737detective conan?
>>283357756Oh yeah shit. That takes very frequent breaks for reruns though.
>>283357687Weekly anime is dead now for real
>>283357806weekly anime only made sense back when everything looked like astro boy. frankly the death of weekly anime should have happened with the turn of the century, but better late than never
>>283357687>Doing that NOWtoo fucking late lmao
>>283357834It's fine if the story is finished and you just adapt it all the way
I didn't know the OP anime was still running. I thought it was pure manga now like Bleach and Naruto were towards the end.
>>283357905Naruto’s anime never stopped
>>283357869if that was true studios wouldn't keep forcing their animators to do crunch time when doing adaptions of completed manga
>>283357687Damn, end of an era. Toei really got scared of the new age of seasonal adaptations resulting in modern hits.
If only they did this like 15/20 years ago. But better late than never I guess, I'm glad I can hopefully avoid relying on fan edits if I ever want to watch the anime.
>>283357687>>283357979Wait, rereading it, they want to do one episode per manga chapter? Isn't that what they're doing now with shitty results? I thought they should do at least 2 chapters per episode to have decent pacing.
>>283357834What about south park
>>283357687How much story does a regular chapter cover? 10 panels?
>>283357687One chapter per episode makes no sense when they're only doing 26 episodes a year. And what will they run in One Piece's slot when its on break is it just reruns?
>>283358008They did one episode per panel.
>>283357979funny about the fan animations is that they're almost no different from the actual episodes in terms of quality. i happened to stumble on those boruto ones
>>283357737I think Black Clover was the last one that was nonstop with no seasonal breaks but it endedDoes Boruto count?
>>283358037it's on hiatus, but i heard TBV anime is already in production
Good, now Twitter can masturbate over the overanimation that looks like shit even more.
>>283357687>one anime episode per one manga chapterWeren't they already doing this? They had the worst pacing known to man because they were stretching a chapter to 22 minutes. They are doing this just because of Oda's declining health and breaks.
>>283358308They were doing less than a chapter per episode, because Oda only does 3 chapters per month. While 1 chapter per episode is far from ideal, especially if there is any fighting involved since that will be over so quickly, it is still better than the current absolute state of the anime.
>>283358358even with break they had they were still doing half a chapter?
>>283358492plus a recap every 12 episodes
>>283357687Toei actually respecting One Piece instead of selling it like a cheap whore? Honestly unbelievable but I'm glad they are finally do it. Only took them a quarter of a century
This is happening because the legal battle regarding dragon ball just reached a concession that ensured Toei would never make another DB anime ever again
>>283358659Fucking great.
So the pacing will be even slower lol>>283358358No, they were already doing 1 chapter per episode.
>>283358030I think he meant One Pace. Impossible to watch the anime without it
>>283358714One Pace have a lot of weird jump cuts.
To be honest that was inevitableThe anime was dangerously close to the manga for a long time now and with oda declining health that Gap couldn't really be widen without ether a year and half of filler arc (no way that would fly now days)or stoping the series for Long period (impossible and would cause high losses for all parties involved)
>>283358021what about south park?
is it becoming biweekly, or it is releasing in weekly batches? regardless, it's good news as long as the quality and/or consistency improvesI don't think the pacing will improve like some people are expecting, part of why they're doing this is because of all the breaks Oda's been taking, so the anime need a little extra time to not catch up. it'll likely continue at the current pacing of 1 chapter = 1 episode
>>283357834>>283357869>>283357934eh, seeing how flexible the adaption can get, the anime back then wasn't as faithful as it is now, most of the time they just take the premise and characters and spin it into whatever that can allow it to meet the 52 episode format criteria, keeping the beginning and ending most faithful while the rest of the episode usually an anime original MOTW format. In some case it became something completely different like akazukin cha cha. I don't know when, but by the around the time dragon ball get adapted, anime has been more faithful to manga, at cost of relying on the filler arcs. For some reason, they seem to avoid seasonal breaks during those era.
>>283357687Oda's health is priority
>>283357687>One episode per chapterBut that's the pace they are currently doing
>>283359114>For some reasonI can only assume it was because the networks would just give their timeslot to something else, and wouldn't necesarily be willing or able to give it back right away if the thing that replaced it was pulling decent numbers and still had plenty of episodes left
>>283358845Probably, I've watched other anime edited down that way. But truly, TRULY a weird jump cut here and there is superior to Toei punk hazard and dressrosa, the legendary 43 flashbacks of Rebecca, its just madness.Egghead and Wano (once the actual attack on Kaido starts) maybe can be fully watched in their Toei versions but the previous ones are series-killing flaws
>>283359010>I don't think the pacing will improve like some people are expecting, part of why they're doing this is because of all the breaks Oda's been taking, so the anime need a little extra time to not catch up. it'll likely continue at the current pacing of 1 chapter = 1 episodeThis, Oda has been doing 30~35 chapters per year for quite some time now, the anime will always catch up in a weekly format. Even a biweekly format wouldn't allow them to do 2 chapters per episode since they would be making 24~26 episodes per year
>>283359198Yeah. Also because the TV station was on the production committee, and they wanted a show on the air.
>>283359010>>283359272based on xitter's translation of the official announcement, 1-to-1 is the plan
>>283359115The anime has nothing to do with Oda's declining health.
>>283357687Too bad this won't unfuck the horrid pacing of the previous 1000 episodes.
Long running manga should've always been adapted as one or more 30-60 minute tv specials / home video releases covering one arc at a time.
>>283361120it won't unfuck the pacing going forward either
>>283357687>The reason is that the production will adjust to a pace of one anime episode per one manga chapterThat's already what they've been doing for the longest time. I also don't expect it'll actually improve the quality of the episodes at all.Either way, this was inevitable given how close it was getting to the manga and how many breaks Oda has been taking.
Why is everybody treating this like its going to improve anything? Like >>283359176 said the anime is already going at a snails pace. The only thing this will do is let Toei work half as much and maybe do the occasional zoro color-sakuga a tiny bit more frequently, even after a 3 week break the anime's quality doesn't change in the slightest so why would making it bi-weekly do anything?
>Basically fuck you, toei. They fear Wit remakeHowever, the official brochure that the Japanese received at the event did not include the name of WIT Studio on the list of production committees.
This explains why the recent IG Port financial report was not profitable.Because WIT Studio cannot enter the animation production committee of One Piece.
>>283357775and tons of filler meanwhile for one piece they rarely had one after post timeskip ive heard because rating always low when theres filler Japanese audience dislike it
>>283357687Why the sudden change now? The anime has been awful for years>>283358659Seriously then who gets to make Dragon Ball now?
>>283363063Akio and Capsule Corp get to decide that
>>283357687>>283360182>>283363063But that changes nothing.After the 6 month hiatus they also started airing the anime again in April this year and so far they released 24 episodes. Considering there'll probably be some recap fillers left this year they'll end up slightly over the 26 episode mark by the end of 2025.They've been adapting one chapter per episode since the previous hiatus ended and now they'll do the same thing again with the anime continuing in April 2026.So what exactly changed?I mean I get that they want to keep their distance from the manga while also not working their staff to the bone and maintain somewhat acceptable quality but still they're just going to do the same thing they did this year.Why are they trying to sell it as if it was some kind of exciting new change?
>>283357687thank god, now I can maraton this shit
>>283363133it changes the fact the production won't have to scramble random recap episodes to fill in the gapsa proper regular schedule, with proper planning, should make the production smoother. and notifying the fans about the change means everyone will be on the same level, instead of people being annoyed at the random recaps
>>283357687does that mean toei will now adapt 2 chapters per ep instead of painfully dragging out a single chapter per ep making the anime feel like a documentary instead of a shonen?holy damn finally, would still be better if they just straight up made One Piece into a seasonal show just like all others though
>>283363527>does that mean toei will now adapt 2 chapters per epNo?Read the OP pic again.They'll keep the one episode per chapter pacing.
>>283357687>>283357806Japs are shifting into episodic movies after the success of Demon Slayer and Chainsaw Man
>>283360182lmao what the fuck
>>283363786>episodic moviesThat only works for already successful anime, so you need at least 1 season out
>>283364162Like Girls und Panzer
>>283357687Oda probably told them that the Manga would be ending soon, though he doesn't know how much longer that will take in reality. Still, they can't afford to take a 6 month break to let him get more chapters out, so they are going with this. Very upsetting, but oh well.
>>283363433Do you *seriously* think that we wont still get recap-episodes?
>>283365311yes, I do. there's no reason to make those, the anime will just stop airing while they don't have new episodes
>>283358659>This is happening because the legal battle regarding dragon ball just reached a concession that ensured Toei would never make another DB anime ever againThis is great news!
>>283365422But if they've promised 26 episodes a year then they'll still need to deliver on that promise, one piece has gone on longer hiatuses than 2 weeks, so they'd need something to fill the time when this happens.
>>283362828???
>>283357687THANK GODFinally they're gonna stop dragging shit out like crazy.I would have preferred filler. At least I can skip it on rewatches.
>>28336589626 is the amount of episodes the anime already aired this year, without counting any recaps. there's no reason they'd need to fill in time next year, since they'll know ahead of time what their workload will be. unless something out of their control happens, obviously
>>283357687>one episode per chapterThat sounds slow as fuck.What'sthe ratio like at the moment?
>>283358008That is what they did for the last year, yes.
>>283358659Source?
>>283358574Yeah, they're still selling One Piece like a cheap whore. Just slightly more expensive.
My question is, how the fuck is it still going? What can he possibly still do!? Wasn't this supposed to go on for only like...10 years or something?
>>283366067>26 is the amount of episodes the anime already aired this yearFuck me thats grim. Well with some luck you're right and we'll see the anime improving, though i'm still sceptical
>>283366049>Finally they're gonna stop dragging shit out like crazy.They won't. It's still 1 episode 1 chapter pace, which you already have.
>>283366496>production will adjust to a pace of one episode per chapterThat suggests it's not currently the case.
>>283366483The anime started when the manga was around 100 chapters in in Loguetown, there's absolutely no way that Toei had any idea that LOda would drag it out for 1200 more chapters from that point on
>>283366346>What's the ratio like at the moment?one episode per chapter
>>283366569One Piece is The Simpsons of Manga...
>>283366547I don't care what it suggests when reality informs us that this is the case.
>>283366591Unironically the anime has a similar arc of quality as modern simpsons. Amazing early on which kept going for almost a decade, then decent before turning into absolute dogshit
>>283366655the OP anime was a lot worse 10 years ago then it is now
>>283366569Seems reasonable if it took 100 chapters just to reach the grand line.
>>283366570So they're only pretending this is a new direction?
>>283366483Well you see, when you shit out 30 new characters each arc, your arcs tend to get really long.
>>283366680It had a much more reasonable pacing, and was therefore better by default.
>>283362763>THE one piece
>>283366655That's why it's a shame the Wit anime will not likely animate the parts of One Piece that actually could use a remake. At least it'll be nice to see pre TS One Piece with good animation.
>>283366874no, it didn't. Dressrosa adapted 0.86 chapters per episode
>>283367004Okay first of all, there's no way it's that high.But also, I did just read 10 years and thought about early One Piece and not Dressrosa. That's on me.
>>283357869Fillers were not bad. Shitty fillers were.
>>283357687I still don't understand why they are remaking an anime that has not finished yet
>>283367127picrelatedWhole Cake was slightly worse, at 0.82 c/e
>>283357687I better not see a single other motherfucking recap episode
MHA has done irreparable damage with the seasonal formula
>>283367238irreparable goodSeasonal allows for better quality and pacing.The old formula was for preserving a favorable time block in the cable television era and led to all sorts of bullshit to make sure you had an episode every week.
>>283367127>>283367230also, the pacing has been close to 1 c/e ever since Ennies Lobby, 20 years ago (56 chapters, 46 episodes; 1.2 c/e)
>>283367258Nah, I think what MHA does is what more anime should do If anything. What has actually done irreparable damage is shit like Chainsaw taking 3 years for anything and it's simply a movie.
>>283367258Toei did. I don't think there'll ever be a new weekly anime after Black Clover.
>>283367223The voice actors are already aging and retiring. By the time the anime ends, many of them will be dead. It's now or never.
>>283367273It also allows some anime to actually finish rather than cancelled at 26 to 52 episodes, or ending when they get caught up with the manga. Something like Sakamoto Days would never get completed with the weekly formula
>>283367318The seasonal format sucks, the source material wasn't created with it in mind and it leads to compromises that are done for arbitrary reason rather than reasons that have to do with animation specifically. It's just scheme to monetize an IP while screwing over the original creator and possibly even the animation studio handling the anime, and giving record labels an opportunity to further screw over their artists.
>>283363133>Why are they trying to sell it as if it was some kind of exciting new change?Most people are drooling retards so it's not like they'll pick up on anything you said. Otherwise, it's free hype.
>>283367659>the source material wasn't created with it in mindAs if this has ever been an issue for animeonlies. And if you wanted to stick close to the source like this you would adjust the length of episodes to fit the content. And you would also release one episode per month for monthly manga. TV and manga are different mediums and they will never entirely match up.
>>283367182shonenslop is so formulaic that you can just add random crap in the middle of the story. the fact that some of the filler is better written than the source material is a bad thing, it doesn't mean filler is good.
>>283368564The problem was usually when the writers did something retarded that contradicted upcoming plot points and the whole show had to swerveOr make up an ending cause they weren't gonna get more episodes
>>283357806
>>283368611The problem is when writers don't add enough little girl characters
>>283360182Kinda crazy that all the complaining about the pacing actually got through to some exec eventually
>>283368771Is that why Oda has been ramping up the loli representation?It's funny because his lolis are almost always giant or big as fuck. >Atlas >all the little girls from Elbaph>S-Snake
>>283367182Writing good filler is extremely difficult. You can't do any real worldbuilding because that might be contradicted by the author later, creating plotholes. You can't do any character development since the characters have to remain in the position they are for the next canon arc. Same applies to progressing any larger plot threads. You also can't have characters that haven't interacted interact, since that might also be contradicted by the author later. The best you can really do is either:a) Create completely new character/s and have the filler revolve around them with the main cast being mostly ancillary. The two problems with this is that people are watching for the main cast, so getting them to care about these new characters is a hard sell, and secondly the fact that these new characters won't ever appear again outside of future filler, which doubles the difficulty for the audience to care about them.b) Have the filler be extremely low-stakes wacky hijinks with the main cast. This second option seems to produce the most well-liked filler, but there's only so much wacky hijinks people can tolerate, doing it for several episodes will grow tiresome.
>>283368813It's probably due to Oda's health rather than pacing
I guess the actual logistic costs of making every episode look like a movie finally caught up to them.
>>283369110Oda's been on the same schedule for like a decade by now. You get like 35-40 chapters a year depending on how often his breaks overlap the usual magazine breaks.
>>283357687Hopefully they stop making the anime altogether because one piece fans are normalfaggot pieces of trash.
why not just take the time to make if fucking good?
>>283369391It's not about time, it's about money. Nips will watch it regardless of how it looks, so why put any money or effort into it?
>>283358659What are you talking about?
>>283357687Oda's really doubling down on this wokeshit isn't he? Fuck this shit.
>>283369467the current One Piece anime is undeniably a high effort production.
>>283369637What did faggot retard mean by this?
>>283369730he meant to post some inflamatory nonsense to get replies from retards like you
Was Oda healthy in 1997 when the manga started?
>>283359010>it's good news as long as the quality and/or consistency improveslollmao even
>>283365422>there's no reason to make thoseThey're easy, they still go in broadcast timeslots for the same price as the other episodes, and toei is a dogshit companyThey absolutely will still jam in 2+ recap episodes.One at the start, one near the end. and maybe even one in the middle too.
>>283368696Your next
>>283369924No he was dead in 1997.
>>283357687Oh, cool. This has been a long time coming. Since the timeskip, at least. So, if we could get a minimum of 2 chapters per episode that would b->Production will adjust to a pace of one anime episode per one manga chapterThat's...that's what we have right now!? So, we're getting half the episodes with the same shit pacing? God, this series is fucked.
>>283358659QRD?
>>283368696This has been taking so many breaks to repeat old episodes that it may as well be too
>>283368696Do they keep making new mysteries every week, or else what are new episodes about?
>>283364162>That only works for already successful animeChainsaw Man S1 was a massive flop though.
Damn I'm gonna miss not watching one piece every other week now.
>>283366413>>283369525>>283373940I think anon is taking about this. Basically Iyoku's (who was Toriyama right hand man) company Capsule Corp is in a war with Shueisha over the ownership of the Dragon Ball IP
>>283374472Not in the west.
>>283363028Even during egghead it was almost 1 week 'new' and one filler.The pacing has been horrendous for years, they needed to go seasonal a long time ago, when the industry started moving that way. Given how long they've taken has probably done more damage to the brand because of the filler/reruns.Do wonder what it's already done to sales though.>pacing from hell for a long time>early sat morning time slot, help for decades>has an arc remade to fill up 6 months>instantly gets shafted to late night>still has filler and breaksBiweekly is a really bad move yet again, it's a schedule/routine that people will gradually just forget.
>>283374726The west isn't relevant, it's why the movie had a massive change in direction solely focused on appeasing the Japanese, while the S1 director got fired.
>>283367223The WIT series will serve as a simple update to the story with some additional Oda approved foreshadowing in the first half of the series regarding what will appear in the second half in terms of having certain concepts and characters be hinted at earlier, while Toei will eventually start producing arc movies to cover larger chunks of the original anime in it's current base level of quality using as much of the old voice cast as possible. This sounds bloated, but One Piece is very popular and the learned elders of Tokyo intend to milk the series as much as possible, and the live action proved to them that people are willing to watch the same story if it's repackaged in multiple ways. Expect a Whole Cake Island movie with updated animation within the next two years.
>>283358097I can easily see Boruto TBV anime ending up like Bleach TYBW at the rate of it's production. It won't fix an already bad manga, but it at least won't be 70% filler.
>>283375141A two part Whole Cake movie adaptation could be a good idea though.
>>283357687episodes were way too drawn outthis is a good thing
>>283357687>>283375141I wonder if they could just release 'reanimated' versions of older arcs like they did during the anime hiatus with Fishman Island
>>283367754I kind of agree with >>283367659 saying "seasonal format sucks" but for completely different reasons. It sucks because of how long it takes just to get a new season. If every new season came out yearly like every American show then yeah it makes sense to go seasonal but a lot of these anime shows are taking up to 2-5 YEARS, just to see a new season or any material. Pic related took a whoping 10 years even though its an original they've been teasing a sequel for that long. Your show's main demographic is already aging by they time they see another season and will have grew up or moved on by the time that next season rolls around.Not to mention Japan can barely put together the same team and studio who worked on the previous season(s) so the quality of each season is all over the place. Some shows get may lucky while most look like ass the more seasons it gets.
>>283357687The absolute state of Toei
>>283358933>The anime was dangerously close to the manga for a long time nowYeah, since 2008.I don't think it's ever been more than 40 chapters ahead of the manga since then.
>>283375919*ahead of the anime.
>>283369064>b) Have the filler be extremely low-stakes wacky hijinks with the main cast.I think the only episode of Naruto that I've ever watched was the Kakashi mask one.
>>283367182Almost all filler episodes were terrible. You can watch the 90 episodes between Sasuke leaving and Shippuden starting and MAYBE five of them were decent.
>>283376047Naurto's filler made me hate all filler. There was some truly gold stuff like the mask one but very rare and the shit that came after, especially with Shippuden was just nails on chalkboard bad. I actually went back to old long running show and rewatched those and didn't mind the filler in those. Its Naruto that clouded my views on filler.
>>283376047if one didnt know better, like half of the 5th Ninja War fights in the anime were filler
>ongoing >+more staying power>+better buildup >-shit everything else>+/- more episodes to keep up with>-too much pacing with plot that moves at the speed of a snail>seasonal>+/-better(or worst) adaptions>+less episodes to keep up with>-no staying power and forgotten within a week/month>-takes longer to produce where the results may vary>-zero pacing with plot that moves like a speeding trainI wish we could have the best of both worlds.
>>283376105Oh yeah that naruto filler was the worst.
>Let's cut down to 26 episodes per year>Without promising to cut out filler episodes or even recap>One year could be 50 to 60% fillerWhat else can I say except YAAAAAABBBAAAA DABBA DOOOOOOOOOOO THEY LISTENED TO US FOR ONLY THEIR BENEFIT.
>no break next week!> :D>now its biweekly
>>283378226The anime =/= the manga
>>283377809This. Now it's waiting longer with absolutely ZERO guarantee that it will be with zero filler.
>>283363133>So what exactly changed?Oda's release schedule slowed down more and more.
>>283357687>animeOh, thank fuck, I thought it's the manga for a sec.Nothing of value was lost.
>>283357687CHADgon CHAD is coming back.
>>283378226The new anime schedule is until the Egghead arc ends at the end of the year
>It seems that Capsule Corporation and Shueisha might be close to reaching a new rights-sharing agreement. While details aren’t finalized yet, the rumored arrangement suggests Shueisha could handle the manga side and Iyoku might oversee the anime and game projects.>2 new major animated projects being revealed in JanuarySoon....
Are you ready for twice as much forced animation
>>283378849The movement looks AI-tier janky.
when this shit ends? watched since its inception but got bored to death and never touched it again. 1000 episodes for a manga is insanity.
Why is Toei like this?
>>283357687Didn't they recut fishman islamd recently?How was that?
>>283379391I'm not saying One Piece isn't ridiculously bloated but your comparing an anime that's almost 22 years behind, LMFAO.
>>283377809Having filler is much better than stretching out the canon content, since you can always skip filler when watching the show later.Now, if only there was a source of canon content they could animate and easily expand upon...
>>283363028And yet One Piece's ratings used to compete with Conan's and now are way bellow it. That's why they're going with breaks now. The ratings fell enough it's not important to keep airing it all the tie.They really just needed better writers for the filler rather than dragging down the pacing of the canon content to hell.
>>283369064counterpoint: OG dragon ball filler was great and they didn't give a shit about any of these.
>>283363133>Why are they trying to sell it as if it was some kind of exciting new change?The break they did this time was supposed to be a one time thing, now it's confirmed to be the model going forward.
>>283369064>The two problems with this is that people are watching for the main cast, so getting them to care about these new characters is a hard sell, and secondly the fact that these new characters won't ever appear again outside of future filler, which doubles the difficulty for the audience to care about them.If they can actually create likeable characters, I don't think this is an issue. The problem is that usually even in shows with lots of filler (like Naturo getting stuck with almost 100 episodes of consecutive filler) the filler characters were still one offs, so there's this expectation they just don't matter.Bleach avoided that, but the issue there is that they couldn't even bother trying to fit later filler arcs into the main story, outside of the very last one. Even if you knew nothing about the manga, you got the outright saying the story was stopping and they'd be going back to a fake status quo to feature a filler arc.I think filler power ups is something that could be done relatively easily and is usually ignored though. You could aways incorporate the power in canon events by just tweaking action scenes, something that likely will be happening anyway if you aren't just taking the manga's choreography panel by panel, and then eventually show it isn't enough when building up to the next canon power up.>>283381186OG Dragon Ball outright changed canon scenes to incorporate its filler into them. Although I liked many of those changes aside from the early Pillaf stuff nowadays that'd be crucified by manga purists.Imagine something like a filler that introduces the next main villain and has him fighting the hero before his actual canon arc where they'd meet for the first time. That's the kind of stuff the DB anime pulled (with both Pillaf and Tenshinhan).
One piece will now win anime of the year.
>>283367223Because the current anime is shit>>283357854>>283378378>>283375818True lol
>>283381486>the current animeYou mean the old shit from East Blue - Wano. Because that's what's getting the most flack and had shit animation.
>>283381779Maybe to the average zoomer, but if you watch the old anime, it's perfectly fine up until like Enies Lobby. Yeah it's not as flashy and modern looking as nu anime but it's still watchable.
>>283381779Yes, but it's started to get worse post-timeskip mainly after dressrosa in terms of animatipn quality, but now after wano and egghead the animation got better but the direction is questionable, it's only good for some hype scenes, that's about it.>>283382324Pre timeskip it was alright but not perfect it's still pretty aged by now
>>283382324>>283382485The team now is way more talented than the slop we go pre time skip.
>>283382324>>283382485Pre timeskip OP will be forgotten when WiT drops their shit. Wano and onward will continue to be relevant though for Toei.
>>283375776Part of the seasonal plague is that studios are constantly being contracted to produce at least 240 minutes of a show because it needs to fit the seasonal format. Even if there's an anime original IP that could be made on a yearly basis, it can only become a priority when the studio is done producing 240 or more minutes of some shitty LN isekai that in the past would've been an OVA with half the total runtime. And that anime original show has to be at least 240 minutes long, even if it doesn't need to be from a storytelling standpoint. There aren't alternatives unless some rich as fuck streaming platform offers a studio ridiculous money and production time for no reason and no demands for a specific episode count or episode length.

instead of 2 months of depressing kuma ginny bonney flashback we get 4 months?
Back then they did that Strong 9 hour block that would have one of the DB shows (Kai,Super) and then OP. Now OP moved it's time slot to a different one in the last year but is running "year long" there with fairly frequent recap eps. Now that they're committing to the 26 eps a year I wonder if that slot is gonna alternate with a new DB show for the other half. Both shows are best off not being these really long never ending shows as they have been in the past.
>>283357979>I'm glad I can hopefully avoid relying on fan edits if I ever want to watch the animeAssuming that they'll stop doing the "showing the same flashbacks again and again" crap.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT THEY ARE FIXING THE ANIME PACING>one anime episode per one manga chapterwut?
