To Davis-Lightheart and others like him:
When you have nothing constructive to provide, it's best to keep quiet. In the case of fan projects like this one, there are four options one can take as a reaction. The first is, regardless of how you feel to simply say nothing. The second is to just express it. I liked it. I didn't like it. The final two are to offer either a negative or positive opinion, but couple it with specific suggestions for improvement.
The people that work on One Pace sacrifice many hours of their free time per episode to work on this. A positive opinion even sometihng as basic as a thank you goes a long way for them as it lets them know what they're doing is valued and appreciated, that it wasn't a waste of time. On the other hand, a negative opinion just for it's own sake has no value at all. You gain nothing by coming on here just to say you didn't like something and neither do they. It's completely unnecessary.
I acknowledge that they work long hours and I said I respect them for that. That's the problem with opinions; if it's not positive, no one reads them. I can respect the people, and the hard work they do, but that is where I can stop. They've earned my respect for doing something about the anime that everyone complains about every day. They took action on something, and that earns my respect for sure.
Anyways, my opinion is a devil's advocate against their belief that,
"Well, "good filler" and "bad filler" is hard to define. In the end, it would lead to some people complaining that a certain filler scene was left in, and some people complaining that another was left in. It completely depends on the person."
My opinion is that being biased is the point of an adaptation, and that by leaving out filler scenes that work for the sake of animation and transitions you lose what makes an adaptation even an adaptation. And despite trying to please everyone, they still didn't please everyone with their decision in the end. I'm just saying the logic behind having no filler is flawed. They have gotten nothing but consistent praise since they started this project; one dissenter isn't going to stop them, nor does he want them to stop. He would like someone else to hear.
But if you want "constructive criticism". Take the Don Chinjao fight's beginning when they shortened the punch length, and giving it that awkward transition to the part after. It was still obvious that was to be an ending of sorts, but they shortened the impact and quickly followed it up with just a fight. As if the initial punch didn't even mean anything. Animation is not a comic, and if you do nothing but follow a manga with no room for longer moments, then you're not even making an adaptation anymore, just a motion comic.
Even in the East Blue days when there was minimal filler before the LogueTown arc, Toei would still add scenes that they believed made the anime a better anime for it, rather than just a cut and paste of Oda's comic. Whether they did or not is all up to interpretation, but that goes with every adaptation of a medium.
Also, this soft modding is probably more unneeded than my comment. My post exists still, and I'm not taking it down or changing it because you don't like it. I'm not changing my stance here.
And now here's the thing. I brought it up once, and everyone just let it die away, but you bring it up again and keep this conversation flowing.
