When does One Piece get better animation?
One Piece's animation quality starts to improve noticeably around the Enies Lobby arc (Episodes 264-312). But it's the time skip, starting at Episode 517, where you'll see a more consistent upgrade in animation quality, thanks to better technology and budget increases. The Wano arc, starting from Episode 892, is where the animation reaches a whole new level, with a more fluid and vibrant style that really does the epic saga justice!

Honestly, stick around until Episode 517. It's a game changer. The post-time skip episodes show a noticeable bump in animation quality. They finally got the budget they deserved!
The animation gets a serious glow-up during the Wano Country arc. It's like they went from flip-phone quality to 4K overnight!
If you're waiting for Studio Ghibli levels of animation in One Piece, you're watching the wrong show. It gets better, but always stays true to its unique style. The Wano arc does look pretty sick though.
