One Piece Log: Fish-Man Island Saga

I'm aware and that my opinion is gonna be in the minority here but I don't think this deserves a level of hate it received Sure they cut some stuff out and it 100% isn't perfect but I'd still say that all of the majorly important story stuff and all of the important actions scenes are here, It's still all mostly here just cropped a bit You should definitely still rewatch the original over this but for a rewatch if you haven't seen the Fishman island arc, This is definitely for you I'd rank this a solid 7/10 nothing groundbreaking, The animation is a bit nicer in myopinion though

I'm really glad that Toei made the choice to remaster and release an abridged version of the Fishman Island arc. It was great to revisit the things that I forgot over the years and also see my favorite moments again. One thing I really appreciated about this version that by speed it up a bit, it made the pacing nicer and it got rid of the places that moved too slowly in the original version of the anime. However, there were times where things sped by a little too fast and I think maybe they need an extra episode or two to make the partsthat went a little two fast feel like they were paced better. That said, it still of course contained the pros and cons of the original version, but that was expected. I hope in the future we might see other longer arcs revisited in this format rather than trying to do something "An episode of Skypiea" that ended up making everything move so fast that it felt a little pointless and lost in the chaos. If you liked the Fishman's Island arc, this is worth checking out especially if it's been some years since you last watched it. If you aren't a fan of One Piece when it starts cutting stuff for time, then you might want to skip this special revisit.

One piece is just an amazing anime, no matter what arc I cry at least once. I know I don't speak for everyone but this anime will until I die hold dear to my heart. The anime always throws you for a loop and the from episode one not just this arc but the very first episode starts childish but that's the nostalgia and fun side then it ramps up and never lets go, the art is beautiful, the characters are unique, the serious moments draw you in feeling personal and making you wish you was there ( almost like a movie theater, very cinematic)the only difference between this and other shows, movie, anime, etc it doesn't draw me in like one piece. Making me forget time, and reality. I thank my creator Im able to enjoy this masterpiece and when it's over I will cry and gather the show from start to finish to pass down. 🙏

Oh boy, this 6 months break will be remembered, if not for the void us One Piece fan felt with minimal One Piece content, it would be for the fact that we were gifted a remastered version of the Fishman Island arc, in the Wano style. So many fans watered their mouths over this one when it was first announced, remastering none other than the cluster mess that was the Anime adaptation of Fishman Island, no other arcs needed a refresher more than this one. I guess, we can only get so high, huh. The remaster was NOT all roses and flowers, it started pretty hype andpromising, yes, but then, the half-baked edits were getting too frequent, hard cuts, non syncing sound cuts and way too fast pacing. yes, complain about fast pacing in One Piece, and with Fishman Island nonetheless. It was truly a bizarre case of Monkey’s paw. This is definitely a celebratory edition not meant for first-timers, and more so for marinated old fans who are asking for more. Overall: 7.3/10.
