>>1849408no I have not, considered it, but have way too much going on to start from scratch on the mana (I wouldn't read it in any other way, ch1-current). I never really noticed the pacing problem until I caught up and then it killed me.
I know the reason they go into so much detail is because they don't want to catch up but I absolutely hate that in shows; it is pretty much filler at that point. I'd much rather see them create really awesome, entertaining episodes and then take a 3-4mo break (I know, a death sentence in the anime world and I'd be castrated for saying such a thing) at which point they pick it back up again when they have the CONTENT to work with. As of right now every episode feels like a chore hoping to see a glimmer of some buenos.
>>1849405I also really like this theory, though I doubt it would play out that cool. I've always just believed that the D. lineage was just from the old group of people from the void century who were wiped out by big bad Gov't; most likely these people originated from somewhere else way more mysterious/unique (other world/planet???). they brought with them all these crazy new things that brought the current world into its current "age" (dials, DF, haki, etc) and the Gov't freaked out and killed them all as they felt they were losing control of their kingdoms and wanted to remain the aristocracy. idk those Poneglyphs just give me this mysterious, otherworldly vibe.
