Yeah, and soon there’ll be 2 OP series that no sane person can catch up on. I think the argument that the original’s too long now doesn’t hold up. Because after a while, the new one also is incredibly long and the same argument can be made again for yet another remake.
Not really. Look at FMA, nobody watches the old one.
Then OP become a chores at some point, due to some fight lasting dozen of eps where nothing is happening.
People will commit to a long series if they enjoy watching it.
Not the best example as the old FMA branched off into anime-only original content for it’s second half. So Brotherhood is the only adaptation that covers the entire source.
The problem with the current one no sane person can catch up on is that it doesnt want you to catch up on it. The number of episodes is one thing, but the sheer disrespect that it puts on the viewers time is egregiously bad. Theres so much stuff to like in the anime, but its layered under 3 and a half minute OP, 3 and a half minute recaps, multi-part flashbacks occuring before and after mid-episode splashes, entire episodes in the middle of critical arcs that are just flashbacks, glacial shounen battle arcs, and somehow loads of cut side content despite its incredible bulk. A remake can right all of that.
I would say, just see how much shit Hunter x Hunter can do in 100 episodes compared to One Piece. Maybe it’s just me but every time I tried one piece the first few episodes were to painfully slow. So I tried an abridged version but it didn’t have all the arcs done in order last I remember. Now both shows are different so it’s not exactly apples to apples but HxH manages to make each episode good on its own, and throws in a cliffhanger like ending each time to keep you going, especially during longer sequences.
If One Piece just drops all fillers, that too is good. But One Piece also does what Fairy tail does (well, I read at least 600 chapters of one piece manga for this view) and that is having arcs where 90% isn’t that important with sporadic information drops and then the big showdown. And the anime mimics that. Some detours are fine, but One Piece often feels like it’s filled with detours until the important characters manage to get their asses to the final showdown. And it’s why I eventually fell off the manga. I lost interest in going through so many chapters to get the meat of the arc.
At the same time, no sane person can catch up how far it is now.
Good thing I’m insane

How long is One Piece One Pace version? Can sane people catch with that?
