Yes, even one piece has alright pacing as slow as it is. The actual issue that studio has is with animation quality and maintaining tension. I don’t mean to say that toei cannot animate for shit, in fact, they’re on par and occasionally surpass powerhouses like madhouse and bones plenty of times with how refined some of their better animations have been given that they do not produce a lot of sakuga or cgi clips. It’s just that the consistency of their work is always hindered by all the shortcuts they keep taking.
