When Did One Piece Switch to Digital Animation?
One Piece made the switch to digital animation starting with episode 207, which aired back in 2004. It was a pretty big deal because it marked a noticeable upgrade in the animation's quality and color vibrancy. Before that, the series used traditional animation techniques since its debut in 1999.

Actually, I liked the old animation style better, felt more 'pirate-y' to me. But yeah, it switched in 2004.
2004, episode 207! The show definitely got a facelift with that change, colors popped more and everything just felt smoother.
