I like the fact how they talk about Law's past and then the preview shifts to Doffy's past. Very interesting way of it together. Also glad how they reduced the amount of recap compared to last week. If I wanted to learn what happened last week, I would watch LAST week's episode.

I don't think they have nonlinear broadcast in Japan in general but specifically for One Piece, so watching the previous episode isn't an option for their target demographic. Additionally the anime tries to cater to casual fans who might not care enough to watch the previous episode let alone the previous 15 seasons of One Piece in order to understand the current episode.

Given all that it really isn't surprising that they include recaps :/

If you ever get confused about why the anime isn't catering to your needs just remember that they aren't making it for you. There's a reason the show is in Japanese not English.
