I honestly prefer the anime. Not only is the animation phenomenal (and the soundtrack too), the slow pace of the anime is actually really favourable for me here (I’ve not seen much of the Wano arc, I just watched some eps to substitute for the manga, but the anime was too slow for me). In the manga, the whole Gear 5 reveal and fight seemed a bit too fast for smth epic like this, but maybe it’s because I’m not reading it weekly.

Also, for those who caught up to the manga, does Luffy just keep spamming gear 5 now, or does it show up in an acceptable amount?

It’s a respectful Spam. The ability is used alot in the upcoming arcs but each time theres a reason behind either why he’s using it, or why its being shown

Wano made the mistake of making Gear 5 very enjoyable to watch. At first I felt like the eyes popping outta the head was being over used a little bit, if anything

In the current Egghead arc so far, they’ve done a great job of making Gear 5 show the scary side of it as an opponent of Luffy. The scale and speed that he has access to is alot more fearful when you view it from the eyes of the man he’s tryna beat up. The laugh seemed so fun back in wano but now i could see how someone could get trauma from it😂

See this is what I like abt Gear 5, imagine ur ass is getting whooped by this random ass kid who looks like he got Marie Antoinette Syndrome and he’s just laughing throughout the whole thing.

Exactly!
Imagine this:
You are a Strawhat Opp and you hear that Luffy laugh in an echo and you cant find where is.
Whats goin through your mind is
1. Where he hell is he
2. Why is he laughing
3. I just hit him with the meanest right hook I have in my bag is he enjoying this?
4. Why is he laughing SO HARD
5. Why is the floor so bouncy

one of my biggest complaints with the manga is that the big moments never get any breathing room due to how much different scenes oda tries to cram in a single page. the anime does a lot to rectify this by making moments like the gear 5 or the honesty impact feel like a spectacle

i like both ofc but definitely prefer the anime version. i feel like the absurdity and wackiness of gear 5 translates better over to the anime and it feels more epic as well. elevation of the manga for sure.

Idk, I don't read manga and I just don't like G5 that much overall, Gear 2nd is the peak for me and it seems that it will stay like that.

I prefer Wano G5 in manga and Egghead G5 so far in the anime. I have to say I hate the sound design for drums and sound effects tho

Really it all depends on which you prefer. Some prefer watching OP and some prefer reading OP. I personally take manga all day, but the anime can be a fun watch
