I’ve always been interested in One Piece but just can’t commit to that long of a show. I wonder if they plan to tell the story more succinctly (which might be difficult since my understanding is the story isn’t finished yet). If they do, I might check this out
I was really enjoying watching the anime with my brother, it was one of the only ways we could stand to be around each other lol, so I was actually glad it had 1000+ episodes. Then there was a drastic shift in the over-sexualisation. In the beginning there are crazy proportions and little clothing, sure, but it didn’t bother me much. Then suddenly every episode started featuring a woman’s shirt bursting open, or a guy would sexually harass/assault women in “funny” ways. Apparently the creator married a very busty woman and claimed all the extra focus on tits was a loving tribute to his new wife 🙄 I just couldn’t stand it anymore, which was a shame because I was still pretty invested in the story.
Do a search for “One Pace”. A good feeling pace is about 2 manga chapters per anime episode but the anime creators reduced that to 1 chapter per episode when they started running low on material. One Pace edits the anime to 2 chapters per episode and has it follow the manga more closely.
A sample of a scene from an episode with both versions compared:

you can’t condense 1000 20 minute episodes into a few hours
Definitely, but I’d be willing to bet a good chunk of those 1000 episodes could be cut without losing much of the plot.
I’ve never actually watched it, but my wife does, and I’ve seen enough to say you’re 100% right

Geez the pacing of the original is ridiculous. I could never sit through whole episodes of that lol. I might try out One Pace
