I love One Pace. It has allowed my boyfriend and I to actually enjoy One Piece together, because he likes to get through anime very quickly, and I’ve been caught up with Piece for a while. Kudos to One Pace — and Muhn Pace — for giving us a platform that we can both watch this peak story on.

However.

I started noticing it in Fishman Island. The anime was insufferably long there, of course, but Muhn Pace began to skip important details. Characters would respond to things that had occurred off-screen, or suddenly we’d cut back to a character and they’d be in a totally different place interacting with someone new. It was fine, mostly, but I thought that was because Fishman Island was just a drag.

But now that we’re in Punk Hazard, it’s ridiculous! It’s like the edit is intended to get you through the story as FAST as it can with as few details as possible. The problem of characters being in totally different places gets much worse, and you find yourself asking why Brownbeard is suddenly out of the scene or how Chopper ended up with Mocha, etc. There is also little to no downtime at all, as though every scene has to be a consistent climax from each episode. I feel like I can’t breathe, and every important beat comes and goes so quickly that nothing feels important at all.

Worse, why have we stopped skipping the flashbacks? Those were half the point of watching Pace. You’re showing me flashbacks from stuff in the previous episode, but also cutting out 3-second segments of a continuous scene instead of just letting them run? How does it make sense to leave in filler and cut continuity?

To be clear, this is Munh Pace. Maybe it’s different than One Pace; but from everything I’ve heard, it follows the One Pace edits, just with leas polishing (usually in the form of the music, which often overlaps itself in different keys or suddenly skips five seconds ahead now and then). I don’t know. Even my boyfriend wants to try to watch on Piece, and I’ll just fast-forward through repeated content. Seems like a better bet at this point.

With Dressrosa coming up, I’m worried. The pacing in the anime was pretty bad; but if the above is how Pace is going to treat it, I’d rather just suffer through the original version. Is anyone else having this problem? Pre-timeskip Pace was so solid! :(
