>pre time skip: the most entertaining and gripping manga Ive ever read, some of the most ludo moments and amazing writing of any media Ive consumed>post time skip: Ive completely lost interest, having to force myself to keep going, also all the character designs are completely ruined and look retarded nowam I the only one? I felt the same exact way about dragon ball vs DBZ, and naruto vs shippuden. almost like these time skips are the in story canon points where the author runs out of good ideas and motivation and jumps the shark to keep the money train flowing.
>>284642114I felt the same about Fairy Tail, everything after Tenrou just felt... offalso the changes in art style are never to an anime's benefit
>>284642114I feel like Franky Robin and Chopper especially were flanderised by the timeskip. One Piece as a whole seems a lot more derpy in it's dialogue than it used to as well but maybe that's just me
>>284642246Grand Magic Games and Tartaros are two of the best, if not the best two arcs and both are post-TS.
>>284642114>every series>only mentions the most mainstream anime ever
>>284642114>OG vs DBZ>timeskipDo you realize there were multiple timeskips in OG too, or are you just repeating the opinion of your favorite e-celeb?
>>284642114Dragon Ball already had two timeskips before DBZ. The fuck are you talking about?
Timeskips are good, they are a battle manga's way of telling you when to stop reading.
Yozakura family got better with the timeskip
>>284642114Some post timeskip arcs are hit or miss, but then there's WCI and Elbaph, which have been incredible and personally WCI is my favorite arc of the story.
Tokimeki Tonight and Hinamatsuri stayed consistent or got better after their time skips.
>>284642114One Piece still has better reception than slop you think is better.
>>284642114>every series gets worse post TSAhem:
>>284642114I still haven't decided whether to go beyond Impel Down. I stopped at the part where Ace dies, but I know about Sabo; I read it when it came out, but I got spoiled that he's not dead, and that makes me not want to continue.
>>284649117You did everything right
>>284649117Why did you even start reading One Piece if you decided you were going to stop a third of the way through?
>>284649600Oh, I've only read a few random chapters of the manga; I know about Sabo because I read those chapters out of mere curiosity that year.I liked early One Piece because it was on TV and I found it entertaining.
>>284643008Just like WCI and Elbaf are post-TS in OP.
>>284644183I mean, the piccolo to piccolo jr timeskip is when they really start shifting to just casually throwing ki attacks outYou can tell something's changed and now it's just all going to be about ki.
>>284642114The one thing I noticed is that pre TS Sanji while having silly moments was somewhat serious most of the time, post TS Sanji is just a comedic relief character with his "Heart Eyes/going crazy over girls" gag being spammed nonstop the opposite is true to Zoro, pre TS Zoro had lots of silly moments an emoted a lot, but post TS Zoro almost never changes his facial expression and doesn't do anything silly
