Pacing is what now
This was supposed to be a fast paced sequence, what slow pacing does to a person
interesting detail even the snow next to Loki’s head melted because of the heat from Luffy’s Gear 4 steam

I think this is an interesting way to batch release episodes.
a 42 min episode on an avg would give you enough content while also keeping actual pacing of the story tight.
A normal ep is 20 mins long covering 2/3 chp, let's say they cover 50 chps in 25 eps.
And since the length of every episode is practically double that, ep count could easily be cut in half, changing practically nothing.
The way of presentation is geared towards people who always had complaints about its length. A person who might be hesitant to try a 25 ep season/batch(20 min eps), would have a higher probability to check out a 7 ep batch(~40 min each).
Especially for live action audiences, not only getting modern production for anime but also *presented* as a live action series.
Now the only problem I see is batch release, if they release the next batch in 6 months to a year that would be great.
My theory is that the pacing would be tight as expected but it sounds like a split cour situation and they do the next 50ch (finish Loguetown) later.
the difference is crazy good, now ik they still got plenty of flaws. But a big thanks to Tatsuya Nagamine, who started this change from wano(in the department of animation).
