Hello everyone! This thread will serve as a compiled glossary of production comparisons, statistics, secrets are more that will be updated as more is discovered. I thought I’d create a separate thread as the Study of One Piece Animation thread is more of a discussion about the more recent episodes.
With nearly 20 years of episodes, films and specials, there is a lot of footage to go through.
If anyone has any information they'd like to contribute please do. We really need original broadcast footage. If anyone has footage on their hard drives, bootleg boxsets, or anything else it would be much appreciated. I’ll be keeping this post updated! A lot of this information was available on Kaizoku-Fansubs forum, however now that it’s down and a lot of the valuable insights are now gone too. This was important as some users would document lost footage seen at cinemas. About half of the information and comparisons made in the videos below aren't available on any Wikis yet.
