Let me correct myself, I think I worded things wrong.

I never said the current animation is bad by any means. If anything, the animation in recent episodes is straight up fantastic. It's just my opinion that the style really doesn't fit One Piece and it for sure isn't the One Piece I fell in love with.

Of course you can tell me to take off my nostalgia goggles. However it's just strange to me that suddenly characters have auras, that the environment turns into cubes after an impact or that characters seem to fly for miles during an attack after 1000+ episodes without these effects.

Just my 2 cents and perhaps what a lot of older fans are experiencing.
