(close if not damn near the quality of film Z's animation) & better pacing. Again, this is just my wish and my view on things. The most obvious choice for now if it goes on a long filler arc ( 1 year ) or hiatus.
L0l do you have any idea what that would cost to achieve Movie Z quality every episode ?
Fun fact: One regular episode (20 minutes) of One Piece now costs 100.000 dollar as it is in the current quality. The budget for Film Z was 30.000.000 for 1 and a half hours.
If you spend that amount of cash every week for thirty years, how do you ever expect to make that back ? By selling Dvd's ?
Manga is not anime, so Oda won't be covering those expenses.
One Piece is not like Attack on Titan where the entire franchise stands on a good anime. The manga is monthly and there are only a few episodes in a season.
most obvious choice a hiatus or 1 year break ? Get real, there is no way in hell that will happen.
Toei milks One Piece all day long. One Piece is in every commercial break and every store. One Piece will never be on hiatus.
Filler break of an entire year won't happen, what is the last time we had a long filler in One Piece ? Right, there are no long fillers in one piece.
Maybe after Dressrosa they get a small filler adventure of like 10 eps. but every episode already is padded with filler. it's 1 chapter : 1 episode so with that ratio and the incidental filler breaks Toei has nothing to worry about catching up.
The format like it is, is here to stay. So get used to it, no madhouse or Pierot. Toei till the end, and judging from next weeks preview we can't complain about that. Dressrosa is one of the best animated arcs in the series.
