I can't believe the leap in art and animation the anime has made from the start of the Wano arc. Ever since they started using new directors and different line filters it's like watching a different show.
For the first time in a looooong time, probably since Enies lobby I immediately rewatched an episode.
First of the pastel art backgrounds are incredibly close to the manga. It now feels like something that adds to Oda's work instead of taking away from it. Second, the storyboard feels like you're reading a manga with how some scenes are introduced or how it changes from one 'panel' to the next.
Third, animation and shading are back. For a long time it looked like Moria sucked all the shades out of one piece. In episode 892 there is a scene at night and it just looks incredible.
Fourth !!! and maybe the point I'm most happy about. animation is back in the anime. How long has it been since Zoro's fight have actually been animated properly ? Please for the love of Oda, go watch episode 892. He doesn't appear behind the opponent with a sound effect any more. You aren't blinded by a flash of his technique anymore that prevents you from seeing movement. You can actually see Zoro CUT. BITCHES, UP.
Who remembers Zoro stepping over Hachi's swords in Arlong Park ? We're finally back to that level again.
Lastly, big shout out to the sound designers, the musicians, the new commercial bumpers and every thing else.
Wano got the respect that One Piece always should have gotten from Toei, please go watch it. The One Piece anime is finally great again.
11 / 10 would watch again.
