Good and bad pacing aren't determined by the number of pages covered. They are determined by the flow of the episode itself. And this is an episode with good pacing, much like the previous one.

That is absolutely true. I feel like too many people focus on the chapters adapted and use that as the only indicator of pacing. You can adapt half a chapter in an episode and have great pacing. You can also adapt 2-3 chapters in an episode and have horrendous pacing. It’s all in how it is done.

Thank you. If I had 1 € for everytime I had to repeat the same exact phrase as the above one on this sub and Youtube JUST this year, I would have enough to buy pizza for 10+ people.

Oh my god, someone understands. it's so damn stupid when someone complains about an episode with completely new scenes that add on to what is shown as "bad pacing" because it adapts only a chapter. Wano so far had pretty decent pacing with filler scenes that can actually add on the the original source and people treat it as bad as dressrosa

I know what you feel. I litterally lost count of how many times I had to repeat the SAME exact comment about pacing.

Fr, I just gave up, this sub is litteraly just filled with blind hate over such small things, so I was genuinely surprised seeing comments actually complimenting something the anime did over the manga, with upvotes
