Oda's reportedly taking a month break after this week to recover from eye surgery.

Whoops I forgot to edit that part to be more specific. I mostly agree with you, it seems...

Also I've been mulling over the latest chapter and I think regarding a certain ancestor...
 
 
Also it just dawned on me that Imu is "Umi" backwards.  I know that "umi" means sea in Japanese, which means we might've seen Imu's presence pre-timeskip and didn't even realize it...
 

 
A veritable force of nature.

Yes! I've been saying this since post-Dressrosa. Too many flourishes and extended cuts ruins the visceral nature of the attacks. The seizure-filled special effects are blinding, distracting and borderline nonsensical at times. One Piece is a bit more gorunded and doesn't need all these auras and fluff. When we do see haki manifesting in black lightning and extra stuff like that it looks epic because you feel the characters had to reach a really high level just to manifest these effects.
 
If Zoro and Luffy can just generate DBZ SSJ auras casually it doesn't feel like One Piece. Hell, we didn't even see Zoro's direct attack that finished King, which in the manga was an epic ranged slash that sliced through King's Imperial Dragon. In the anime it's just blinding explosive flashes to the aftermath.
 
Look at Zoro vs Pica and tell me if this isn't more visually grounded while still being epic?
 
 

For those who watched the latest One Piece anime ep 1062. What do you think? As cool as the animation and fight was. I don't really like that it's not grounded in "One Piece Reality" . It's too much ... it's as crazy as DBZ it doesn't represent One Piece at all or what it should be.

The fight actually made more sense to me in terms of following the action then it did in the manga at spots. However, I do agree in many ways it was gone from physical duels to beam spamming and insane mystical feats. 
 
I do have to say I am glad they gave Zoro and Sanji's big moments such decent budgets, even if I am not a fan of the constantly glowing swords.
