Anime Recommendation and Suggestion Query

[neflight86]

Question: Someone recently claimed the One Piece-anime series now is really well animated, almost movie-qualtiy. If true, can anyone tell me what's the first episode that's that well animated and also what manga chapter this matches with?

I'm not caught up to the manga, I prefer anime, but I didn't watch the OP anime because what I see was terrible, both in actual animation and pacing. But if that changes later in the story, I'd happily jump back.

thx

The production shifted and became much better animated at the beginning of the Wano saga, so the last ~150 episodes or so. That doesn't mean the pacing is much improved, if you aren't down for a slow watch.
