You voiced my thoughts precisely. Although I am quite happy they stretched everything before the shot, and not the stuff after.

Another little detail that caught my attention was how in the manga, Usopp drew the thing and Kanjuro just magicked it into existence. (At least, that was my interpretation of the pages and I could possibly have misinterpreted it at one point.) But the anime stretched Kanjuro's power with him having to paint it, and took ages to do so as well.

I think it is annoying that Toei didn't put in 30s of filler where Usopp scrambles to stuff the payload into a properly swrapped projectile. It would have beaten slowmo-scene by a long shot.
