It's pointlessly slow though. There's slow with content, and slow for the sake of slow, and they're executing the later. Seriously, what is the point of spending 30 seconds panning to see the faces of background characters over everything that happens? They aren't adding to the experience, they're ruining the natural flow of the scenes.
Just watch the anime for the same reason I do... which is to see the animated fighting scenes. If you are reading both the manga and also watching the anime, the anime is not going to add to your experience at all except for those fighting scenes. You guys complain too much.
The moment I realise while rereading the manga that most, if not every, of Usopp's lies from the beginning did become reality at a moment or another during the whole story. I bow down to the greatness of Oda.

Thats what i do now but.. as someone that found out about One Piece via the anime really long time ago, its so disappointing to see how bad it is now.

give several examples please.
the only one I remember atm is the 'walking on the remains of the giant goldfish' lie, which came true in Little Garden when they left the place
It was one of the things the usopp crew said about him, he has the ability to make lies into the truth. He'll get an army of 80,000 or however much he says one day, probly take it from buggy somehow.

I disagree with it being slow for the sake of being slow. It's being done out of necessity to avoid catching up to the manga. You can either go the naruto way of filler arcs or the one piece way of dragging it out. It's a pick your poison type of scenario. Ideally for the best anime you would do the episodes at a normal pace but then this would mean a long tv hiatus at times which is something they're loathe to do. I still watch the anime but agree the pacing really dragged the fish man arc far too long. However I understand why they're doing it this way.
I watched the Fishman arc without waiting for each episode, as I'm quite new to one piece (I watched every anime episode in less than a month :p). I didn't particularly notice bad pacing.

I like viewing the story from multiple mediums with different dimensions. Like someone said, the music is pretty good. Plus there is something to actually sticking a voice and hearing a character talk then reading their lines in your head. Its fun and different so I enjoy both (though I might be more forgiving of the anime cause thats how I got started on OP in the first place :D)
Getting on the minority bandwagon. I enjoy it a lot too, especially because of the VAs, great - extended - dramatic speeches, and animated fight scenes. They might be slower, but I don't care about that, I just like to see all the cool moves, and clashes animated. While I think it's great to let imagination run free and let your mind fill in the blanks it just feels great to see moves and fruits in motion, it adds for me a lot.
I personally think the animation and overall quality of the anime has gone WAAAAY down. They also seem to be using a lot less material from the actual manga and instead redrawing a lot themselves. There's a huge difference in production quality between say the Enies Lobby arc and (very, very sadly) the Marineford arc for example.
I've stopped watching the anime during the Firsman Island arc, because I didn't like that arc that much in the manga either. Haven't looked back ever since, but I'll certainly join in again, when the Dressrosa arc begins.

Thats normal. Like I said earlier, the magical spot where the anime "becomes bad" for many people is the point at which they catchup and have to wait weekly. They rarely complain prior to that point.
