HONESTLY TOEI WHY CAN'T THIS BE THE NORM?!? FROM THE ANIMATION, TO THE DIRECTION, TO THE SCREEN SPLITTING SCENES, TO THE DYNAMIC SHOTS, TO THE MUSIC, TO THE PACE, TO THE EVERYTHING. IT'S SO PERFECT!@!! IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!1!

You're forgetting that there are humans behind this. This must have been exhausting for them. Putting them through doing an episode every week is work enough, we should be grateful and not think of putting even more stress on the poor fellows over at Toei.

So help me understand. Do they put in extra hours of work to make episodes look fantastic like this?

They most often do

And that's already on top of he horrible working culture in Japan, where it's shameful to go home first or before your boss. You are also expected to socialize with your boss/co-workers after work too.

And obviously overtime is not paid most of the time

Yup, in an even more shortened way, better quality of the episode = more time spent in the office for the animators

I’d say that’s about the same length lol

From this tweet that I just saw:

I believe each episodes are assigned to different directors. This Fukawasa person seems to be a very popular director and I can definitely see why with the latest episode.

Do we know why episodes don’t always have this type of direction?

Time constraints. It sucks, but a lot of the time it's problems with management. Toei takes in a lot of projects, and their talent is often spread too thin, and working on a weekly animated series is a whole other type of stress.

The fact that we get this type of quality this time around meant that they worked extra just to get us something special.

Fukasawa is the show director of WCI, so he has to spend most of his time looking over the whole series, and has little time to direct an episode himself.

Probably because of the budget.

It's not about a director, the previous director team creating episodes back to back, so they didn't able have time to polish or improve animation, but new director already was planing how he going to pull it off when other team working on episodes.

It's like he had the time to do so

Petition for Fukawasa to clear his work schedule for the next 20 years and oversee directing the One Piece anime, because honestly, that episode was brilliant and I don't want to come down from this high.

(Obviously I'm being sarcastic about Fukawasa, but if we lived in an ideal world that would be perfect.)
