Anime to manga progress

[thesh00ter]

i know i'm askin' again but i just want to know the current rate the anime is with the manga. i also wanted to know if it's gonna catch up or is at a position that it can't catch up to the manga because the way the manga is released compared to the anime.

For the last 10-somethng-odd episodes, the anime has maintained behind the manga for 35-chapters give-or-take worth of material.

More so than Naruto and Bleach is One Piece close to its manga counterpart.

However, it's able to remain at this 35-chapter distance because Oda always fits a crapload more stuff in one One Piece chapter than Kishimoto and Tite do with Naruto and Bleach, repsectively.

I expect a filler arc after the current anime arc, but I'm not expecting ANYTHING near Naruto & Bleach length in filler. Probably 10-15 filler episodes at the most.

It's very probable that they'll animate the sidestories (the ones on the first page of each chapter) as the Baroque Works one seems plot-relevant now.

cool. i guess it's a Toei thing. Hopefully Perriot will take some pointers from them

One Piece fillers kick ass so it don't matter :)

Correct you are.
