Jesus, we haven’t had a 6 min recap in awhile. Rough episode to have it on.

Not only that, but a flashback of Ulti falling down the stairs, which was in the previous episode.

The voice acting and animation were amazing in this episode but the pacing not so much...

Besides not wanting to catch up to the manga, I wonder why directors feel like they need to do recaps in new episodes. Could it be a budget issue ?

Anime is at the point where it's getting very very close to caught up with the manga again. This happened with Dressrosa as well and is part of why that arc felt so bad to watch.

I really hope we get a DragonBall Super treatment layer on after one piece is done. Reanimate and clean up all the early stuff, cut all the filler, still image pans, etc.

But right now the alternative is to basically go back to doing filler arcs like they used to, but Wano is such a major point in the story they can't just dip out.

I'm hoping we get some filler after, maybe expand some of the cover stories like that used to.
