In all fairness the first 200-300 episodes are like 2 decades old at this point, pacing and animation standards were way different then. That's what onepace.net is for, it's the "fan edit" which is to say abringing the anime to match the manga much more closely, so the pacing is substantially better

Yeah i was actually complaining about live action prestige tv for streaming which demands a big time investment before anything happens but doesn’t even bother giving you wild nonsense to tide you over
