  Wild opinion but i read the manga so idk maybe its different for you
context: I think all the problems you point out aren't unique to one piece, all the classic anime share the same problems with long drawn out plot lines, frequent training montages, flash backs to shoehorn in an explanation for the upcoming plot twist, filler episodes to keep the audience interested while they wait for the new manga to come out.
  Modern anime has the opposite problem, they try to make every episode action packed at the cost of character development and story telling. >
  
  The new season of Bleach is what I consider a good combo of action/ storytelling pacing. And im actually digging the training episodes >
  
  Nah the new season of bleach sucks so far.  None of it makes any sense and nothing fits with any of the previous seasons.  It's like a spinoff of bleach set in an alternate timeline where nothing that happened previously matters at all.
  Its visually pleasing but the story telling is sub par.
