What episode did One Piece animation change?
The One Piece animation style noticeably changed starting with Episode 517. This episode kicked off the New World saga, right after the time skip. The changes included more vibrant colors and updated character designs to reflect the passage of two years in the story. It felt like a fresh start, not just for the Straw Hat crew but for the animation as well!

Episode 517, no question! That's when One Piece entered the New World saga, and everything got a slick upgrade. It's like the series hit puberty and came back after summer break with a new look.
Honestly, you need to watch from episode 1 to appreciate the animation evolution, but if you're looking for the major facelift, it's episode 517. The New World awaits with some sweet visual upgrades.
