I agree and disagree. For one, I like big stories, it grows with us. However cutting processes for several manga is kinda weird. Let me give 2 examples:

One piece: ofc it's best to give a while before making something into an anime. However, looking at wano arc, people wouldn't wait 3 years for the anime to come back to have 15 episodes and it would be done.

Dragon ball: the pacing is awful, everyone makes it a gag joke. However, you can make an anime that is good (z) but has weird pacing so people don't have to wait 3 years for new episodes and, once that story is done, just redo the whole series with better graphics and not changing the story, just helping the pacing (Kai) and fans will eat both.

So to sum up, I think they should keep doing it like they used to and then do a remaster with better graphics and keep feeding the people instead of spending hundreds of thousands on new anime that's basically all the same. Nowadays I go check the catalogue and there's 200 anime for basically the same story (Isekai, don't kill me, not my thing) and there's no flavour in that. Just pick manga that are good and make animes out of it even if squeezing the most from them. Would be a much better process.

And tbh, who wouldn't rewatch the whole Naruto series if it had 50-100 episodes instead of 500? Or one piece of it had 200 instead of 1000? It gets many more fans excited to see it, can help fans enter without the "f*CK I'm not gonna watch 1100 episodes and counting" and they don't need as much content.

Proof of this is Fullmetal alchemist. Just check the original (okayish but let people enjoy it while it was coming out) and the brotherhood (perfect masterpiece)
