Oh wow, I wasn’t expecting the Loguetown remake to be done so soon! Fascinating to hear about the cut manga material as a manga reader who didn’t watch the early stuff. I think your decision to include that material is a great one.
And more Little Garden to boot! Good to see these shorter earlier arcs rolling out gradually, filling current gaps. Also looking forward to seeing more Water 7, but obviously that’s a longer ride we’re in for!
Re: Almost looking finished, that’s pretty exciting! Once Water Seven is done, all that needs to be done is Baratie and there’ll only be one ‘gap’ left (from Drum Island to Skypeia). A far cry from a couple of years ago where to watch the series you’d have to endlessly switch back and forth between Piece and Pace, once Water Seven and Baratie are in the bag you’d only need to switch twice to bridge the gap.
