Jinbe, as far as I know the weird changes in art/animation style every 2 or 3 episodes were present for hundreds of episodes. We have some talented people like Ishizuka, Inoue, Shingaki, Hisada, Ide, Tate (although this one gets a lot of hate because of his style), Kawamura and Nakatani while the rest like Deguchi, Yamashita or Fujita are noticeably weaker in comparison. I don't deny that the anime has the occassional bad art problem (this is true for the older epiosdes as well), but I'd say that the first group of directors does a great job 90% of the time and even the bad ones can deliver at times. Honestly, I vastly prefer the new style of the anime, but what I' like to change is the pace of the series, throw in a filler arc or 2 after every canon arc and increase the amount of chapters/pages covered in a single episode, because even though for the most part it is possible to make a good episode using only one chapter in some action oriented arcs like Marineford it is neccessary to cover more, so that things don't move too slow. In the end I do agree that the manga is the better choice even though really enjoy both.
