ok ok I may have overreacted it's just annoying to hear the same shit about the one piece animation because does quality over quantity really matter?
the true reason why the animation is a little drag is because of dressrosa arc.
this arc was the longest the manga didn't even reached half of it while the anime started because of that they had to cut a single chapter into three or four episodes. during the middle of the arc in the anime the fans got tired of it since it's been over a year in the same arc some even consider dropping one piece because of hearing that the same arc was still going in the manga. because the anime fans got tired of it they stopped watching it decreasing one piece anime popularity meaning a fraction if not half of the one piece anime only fans didn't pay to watch one piece. I presume the one piece anime popularity was decreased around the years if 2015-2016 because it was still on dressrosa while the manga gained higher popularity it even broke a world record in selling the most manga copies in 2015 which is why the anime only fans completely dropped the one piece anime and started reading the manga instead because they heard it was getting hyped in the manga.
in other words half of the one piece fans dropped the anime around 2015 and only caught up to it when dressrosa reached it's climate so toei barley made any profit from the one piece anime at least a year but after fishing dressrosa toei made film gold which rose the one piece anime popularity slightly in japan only but during that the most epic and hyped arc has started in the anime zou arc which brought back some fraction of the anime only fans and the popularity began growing back during that arc until the hyped moments finally made it into the anime and it brought up the new and old anime fans but still wasn't enough.
but I am very certain in this current year the one piece anime will be better if not the best because of the upcoming whole cake arc and wano county arc along with the major tease of elbaf arc and it will bring the entire world's population popularity to one piece because the manga is so juiced up with hype it can be used to drown the entire world and the one piece anime is still starting to grow but it will grow furthermore with the influence of the manga and vise versa because dressrosa arc was a mere appetizer compared to the upcoming feast of the new world.
you can check the statistics of one piece popularity because my statistics were mere assumptions I'm sorry for offending anyone I just tried to imply that wether the animation is bad or shitty it doesn't change the hype of the story of one piece because quantity always triumphs over quality if you like the anime watch it if you don't then don't watch just don't complain about it like a little child because to be honest the anime is better than oda giving two weeks worth of blue balls
