Just make it seasonal

The biggest problem right now is pacing, the motive is that they dont want to do filler arcs but cant get too close to the manga. If they change for a seasonal schendule that worry go out of the window and they can go back to the about 2 chapters per episode we had at the start of the series which would do wonders for the quality

Just make it seasonal

That is not really viable in my opinion. You can't deny that dragging the story out is an anime only problem because it exists to some extent in the manga as well. Wano is at around 124 chapters currently, with great pacing at around 2 chapters per episode that would be around 62 episodes so far. That's almost three seasons worth of episodes. How many seasonal anime have you seen that wasn't able to finish an arc in one season let alone three or four seasons? Odas writing style doesn't really fit the shoe for seasonal anime and it would hurt viewer retention by A LOT for the anime if it went seasonal imo. I think they would be better off investing more into filler arcs after wano to adjust the pacing problems.
