Oh boy, this 6 months break will be remembered, if not for the void us One Piece fan felt with minimal One Piece content, it would be for the fact that we were gifted a remastered version of the Fishman Island arc, in the Wano style.
So many fans watered their mouths over this one when it was first announced, remastering none other than the cluster mess that was the Anime adaptation of Fishman Island, no other arcs needed a refresher more than this one.
I guess, we can only get so high, huh. The remaster was NOT all roses and flowers, it started pretty hype and promising, yes, but then, the half-baked edits were getting too frequent, hard cuts, non syncing sound cuts and way too fast pacing. yes, complain about fast pacing in One Piece, and with Fishman Island nonetheless. It was truly a bizarre case of Monkey’s paw.
This is definitely a celebratory edition not meant for first-timers, and more so for marinated old fans who are asking for more.
Overall: 7.3/10.
