Best way to watch One Piece? (video quality wise)
Hey, I'm someone who started One Piece a few months ago, I'm watching slowly (only finished Arlong Park recently), and so far I like it, but I feel that the version I have is not the best one in terms of quality, I have the toei remastered one in 16/9 but it feels ultra blurry for some reason, like it's almost as if they applied a filter to it, is there any better version than this in terms of pure video quality?
Thanks!
The 'remaster' of the first 206 episodes are just upscales, since the show has always been animated digitally. It's not a proper remaster. Upscales very rarely look good (even with the better upscales, you'll always find people saying the original looks better). Upscales are basically just stretching/spreading pixels to make the picture bigger and achieve a higher overall resolution. Even if it doesn't look bad, there are still compromises such as cropping, the picture looking less clear.
As for the best way to watch? Just watch on Crunchyroll's non-remastered versions or any legal non-remastered versions.
