[Question] Your thoughts on Oda's pacing this arc

[Naruto D Luffy]

Please give your 100% honest (anonymous) rating regarding Dressrosa's pacing in poll

 

[TheHokage]

The pacing is alright to be honest it's just the amount of breaks Oda has had makes it seem like this arc is dragging.

It's not that the pacing is bad, he has just shown a lot of characters. People would complain if he didn't show other characters as much so he is giving them their time to shine so now people complain cause he is actually showing everybody fight

 

[shon93]

The pacing isn't that bad..he's just showing things people don't want too see...last chapter was the worst in a long time for me

 

[Joon]

So many names to remember. >.>

This. The pacing is pretty good but it just seems a bit slower/longer cause of the break we've had. Dressrosa is probably going to be the longest arcs we've had and probably the best. I know the ending of this arc won't disappoint, seeing how FI/PH had nice endings/closures.

 

[Punk Hazard]

I like the pacing, I just wish he'd focus on one event longer for each of the events. Meaning, I wish he didn't transition as quickly.

Pacing is the best of all big names in manga.

Name me any other manga which has more going on than One Piece in a single chapter. Look at the amount of panels and text every page.

HxH, post-hiatus. Pretty much chapter 341 and above, it's more dialogue heavy than OP. But as a series, yes OP takes it.

 

[MugiwaraBoy]

5/5 nothing wrong with it really, some parts could've been faster and what not but still we can't expect constant action.

 

[Dr Strangelove]

Some parts were slow, some pasts were decently done. What more is there to say?

 

[Gintõki1]

It's alright. The only thing that i don't liek that he jumps from a event to another.

 

[Olorin]

I think the pacing is great because I always think of how it would work if I read the entire arc in one go, I've reread DR about a month ago and I think that it works extremely well (except some of the colosseum fights)

 

[I'm stupid real stupid]

Good pacing

 

[Naruto Power]

to many damn breaks every time anything is going to happen in the story in the last two years theres a break. I get it oda needs to plan his story but damn thought he would plan it more than a week to two weeks ahead. just think how many more years op is going to go. you are still going to have 4 to 5 more arcs for luffy to become pirate king.
plus is this still going to be for kids or pre teens or is the story going to mature like the people who have been following it. wb manga was beast. hope my the end luffy get like gold roger happy go luck and care free like a kid but one you threaten something he likes/loves and evil beast beats you down only difference is roger would kill luffy just wants to beat up.

I've never had a problem with Oda's story telling, this arc is no different, loving every moment of it!

HxH post hiatus is dead. It's just back and forth theorizing. You might as well go read Plato and write you own plot story in it.

You're the only person I've ever heard say that. Everybody else says that HxH has risen to the top and I agree completely. Togashi is setting up for an amazing arc and letting us see some of the top characters and how they think. He has to introduce a whole new continent and is letting us get some information about it before we actually see it

True and Togashi is starting off this whole "new world" (Dark Continent) the best. It sounds a lot more intimidating than the New World in One Piece but overall the NW is a lot more enjoyable for me.
