You know, I’m not going to fault a show for… reaching like this when it has to put a
new episode out every week. That’s just the nature of the beast, and the reason
why TV shows are broken up into ‘seasons’ in the first place. To be good, staffs
can only put episodes out weekly for a season or two a year, at most. When a show runs continuously for years, everybody should accept that the price of getting a regular ONE PIECE fix
is that it just won't be good sometimes.
It hasn’t jumped the shark. There’s no slide
in quality. It’s just that the staff has their ‘off’ weeks…
And this might’ve been one of the worst, honestly. I saw 22
minutes of screen time get filled up by... actions, but not plot. None of it held any
significance for me. Didn’t care about Rebecca still being in the gladiatorial arena.
Didn’t care about the toys making an incremental step in their plot against
Mingo. Didn't care about whatever else happened. Surely, that’s a result of me taking a break at the end
of the Punk Hazard arc (which maybe hasn’t
even ended?), and that means this show often only works if you’ve been watching for the past hundred
episodes. So, it’s just… content. And so
much of it.
At times like, it makes me think of the one EPIC MEAL TIME episode
I watched, where the dudes made a casserole out of a dozen big macs. One burger, on it own, might be appetizing; but when it's lumped into that overwhelming mound, it doesn't even look like food, anymore. It's just... matter.
Watch "the End of the Match?! A Surprising Result of Block D!" and decide for yourself, then read my thoughts on the previous episode.
