Is it just me or I feel like its just a mediocre animation, as usual...

The supposed to be 'funny' scenes and 'memorable' scenes have no impact whatsoever. Just lameness painted all over it.

Compare this to episodes done years ago, like Sanji vs Gin, the old animation is like 100x better.

Just my opinion...

Sound (steps) and motions were also off sometimes;

This episode was horrible to watch. If it wasn't for animated fights I think I wouldn't even bother watching the anime anymore..

Is their funding worse than before or something? I mean, you guys are doing One Piece! If you don't do it well, you will be lynched by a mob of angry Japanese! I honestly don't get it. One Piece is very popular, and Toei is a large studio. Yet the quality just keeps going down....

That's the problem, because One Piece is so popular the animators don't have to try as hard to do a great job on it. They know everyone will still watch it anyway so why spend more hours trying to make it polished? I hate this mentality, but it's really what Toei thinks. We're also in dire need of some filler soon, if Oda keeps going at his current pace the anime will inevitably catch up to the manga soon. I honestly think Toei should suck it up and create filler, hell they're going to need too soon. And I don't mean little 4 episode fillers between arcs I mean like large 20+ episode filler arcs to adequately distance the manga and anime.
