The anime's quality has been heading into the shitter ever since the Saboady Arc. The visuals have been fluctuating so rapidly that there's no sense of the show's artistic continuity any more. It doesn't help that the anime has been ruining the manga's pacing for years now. I'm sorry, but Toei clearly doesn't give a fuck about the series anymore, at least that's what there telling me with the product. The only good animation I see for One Piece is non-canon stuff like movies or specials. It's false marketing at best, and outright laziness at worst. Don't get me wrong, I still think the show's brilliant, but until the studio pulls it's act together, I'm sticking to the manga thanks.
