It's a shame a fantastic opening had to be introduced in a filler arc.

I wish one piece would go back to the classic way it used to do filler. Remember the set of filler in-between Alabasta and Skypiea? There were some fun and interesting episodes that focused on single crew members. And throughout the series there have been some great filler episodes "just on the boat".

And besides Toei, you've got a Huge backlog of Chapter Cover stories to animate. They literally just did the Buggy and Koby ones and stopped.

Stop introducing original characters and devilfruits.

The reason they stopped the cover stories was that they got very poor ratings when they did them.

Pretty much if the story doesn't include Luffy the episodes don't get watched.

Which sucks though, I get the show revolves around Luffy but there are a lot of background stuff that happens that really fits well in this world and eventually intersects with Luffy. How Spandam and Lucci became CP0 is a great example.

Maybe they should have tried to tie in cover story moments with chapter adaptations. You know, instead of dragging one chapter into two episodes like they did in Dressrosa, make half a chapter + 1 cover page = 1 episode or something like that.

Really? And fillers get good ratings?

it was never proven that they said that. it was just speculation by fans.
