They realized how much Japan loves One Piece and they put no effort in the anime knowing that Japanese would eat that shit up

One Piece

Around the Enies Lobby arc.

At first it was only One Piece that was plagued by fillers and endless bad animation. Then it spread.

Toei's executive management. More so than any other studio or production company, Toei outsources a fuck ton and loves cutting costs whenever they can despite most of their properties being among the highest grossing franchises in Japanese pop-culture; Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, PreCure, Sailor Moon, etc...

I dunno, I'd argue it began when Toei started getting American shows and shipped nearly 2/3 of the first three DB series to crappy animation studios.

But I agree that One Piece made it worse.

Isn't that new Tiger Mask show supposed to be pretty good? I haven't seen it.

Some of their shows still escape that fate and turn out great though.

Yes, it's great. Yes, watch it.

One Piece barely even has filler anymore and didn't have that much to begin with, it was other factors
