One Pace [Season 1 Episodes 890-891]

One Pace: The Streamlined Way to Experience One Piece

If you’re a One Piece fan, you already know the struggle: the anime’s pacing can be painfully slow at times. Enter One Pace, a fan-made project that recuts the original anime to match the manga’s pacing, stripping away filler scenes and tightening up the storytelling. It’s like the Dragon Ball Kai of One Piece, but made by fans, for fans.

I recently checked out Episodes 890-891 from One Pace’s Season 1, and here’s why I think it’s a game-changer for both new and veteran fans.

What Is One Pace?

For those unfamiliar, One Pace is a non-profit project run by a dedicated team of 52 editors. Their goal? To fix the anime’s notorious pacing issues by removing filler, fixing animation errors, and even correcting subtitles. The result? A version of One Piece that flows smoothly, just like Eiichiro Oda’s manga.

Episodes 890-891, for example, are part of the Wano Country arc, a fan-favorite storyline. In the original anime, this arc suffers from drawn-out scenes and unnecessary padding. One Pace trims the fat, delivering a more dynamic and engaging experience.

Why Fans Love It (And Some Don’t)

Scrolling through discussions on Reddit and MyAnimeList, it’s clear that opinions on One Pace are divided—but mostly positive.

The Pros:

1. Time-Saving:
2. One user on MyAnimeList put it bluntly: “Not everyone has endless patience to watch the slowest-paced anime in existence.” One Pace cuts down the episode count significantly, making it easier for newcomers to catch up.

3. Another fan mentioned using One Pace for arcs like Dressrosa and Punk Hazard, where the original pacing is notoriously sluggish.

4. Closer to the Manga:

5. Fans who’ve read the manga appreciate how One Pace stays true to Oda’s vision. As one Redditor noted, “You won’t miss any important plot points by watching One Pace over the original anime.”

6. Mobile-Friendly (Sort Of):

7. A hot topic in discussions is how to watch One Pace on mobile. Some users shared workarounds, like streaming via Zippyshare or using third-party apps. It’s not perfect, but it’s a solution for those who don’t want to sit at a PC.

The Cons:

1. Missing Anime-Only Content:

2. Some fans argue that One Pace cuts too much, including well-loved anime-only scenes. One commenter on Reddit admitted, “I’ll watch the original for Summit War because One Pace skips some great moments.”

3. Accessibility Issues:

4. Unlike official streaming platforms, One Pace isn’t always easy to find. Fans often have to rely on torrents or niche sites, which can be a hassle.

5. Purists’ Perspective:

6. A few hardcore fans insist that One Piece should be watched as-is, pacing flaws and all. “Watching One Piece just to catch up is dumb,” one user argued. “You lose something important by skipping scenes.”

Episodes 890-891: A Case Study

These episodes cover a pivotal moment in the Wano arc, and One Pace’s version is a breath of fresh air. The original anime tends to drag out fights and reactions, but One Pace keeps the momentum going.

• Tighter Action: Fight scenes feel more fluid because unnecessary pauses are removed.
• Better Pacing: Emotional moments hit harder when they’re not stretched thin.
• No Filler: If a scene wasn’t in the manga, it’s gone—no distractions.

One Reddit user pointed out that these episodes were combined into a single, seamless cut, avoiding the jarring shift in animation style that comes later in the arc.

Final Verdict: Should You Watch One Pace?

If you’re:
– New to One Piece and daunted by 1000+ episodes,
– Rewatching the series and want a faster experience,
– Frustrated with filler,

…then One Pace is for you.

But if you:
– Love anime-only content,
– Prefer the “authentic” experience,
– Don’t mind slower pacing,

…stick with the original.

Personally? I think One Pace is a brilliant alternative. It respects your time while staying true to the story’s heart. And as one fan perfectly summed it up: “Anyone should be able to enjoy a series the way they want.”

So, whether you’re Team One Pace or Team Original, the most important thing is that you’re enjoying the adventure. Because at the end of the day, One Piece is about the journey—not how fast you get there.
