just posting here to vent over this shit.

Honestly, I'm really done with Toei stretching out episodes and overanimating the shit out of fight scenes. Like, you're never going to top Gear 5, you made sure of that. Just give it a rest.
Toei has been doing this half and half chapter adaptation since the controversy with Ennies Lobby which almost had One Piece pulled off the air because they caught up too quickly with Nico Robin and had to do flashbacks for a month.
Also i am surprised that there is criticism of the recent animation trend as it was far worse with Archipelago where it went to highly detailed animation and the animators kept dying where the scenes would look bad at points especially with Dressrosa with Law and Doflamingo where it was poorly animated not just in some frames but in just scenes alone.
Since Wanokuni the animation changed for the better. No longer are scenes slowing to a crawl where it is drawn out like a DBZ episode or a PowerPoint showing illustrations, it's fluid, it has a sense of style it looks like the number 1 ranked manga in WSJ for decades. Also it looks visually interesting to watch as a whole. In Egghead the Arc is being animated by Digimon staff and Precure as well. It makes sense for the Arc to look the way it does.
As for being mad about them extending scenes and being slower on adapting chapters. I would prefer them doing that than the Peirrot alternative of catching up so quick with Bleach that you need to make up arcs that sidetrack or skip key scenes or Naruto Shippuden where you are looking at the same flashbacks to where there is only 3 minutes of story in it you need to watch to get to the next episode because it has filler in it.
