Tried watching One Piece at 1.5x speed and it broke my brain

Decided to speed through the Dressrosa arc at 1.5x last month because 700 episodes felt impossible. Made it about 12 episodes before I had no clue who was fighting who anymore, and the pacing felt even worse somehow. Anyone else mess with playback speed for long shonen or do you just tough it out at normal speed?

Honestly this is peak comedy because My Hero Academia at 1.25x is the only reason I survived the training arcs, but Dressrosa at 1.5x is pure chaos. You sped up a tournament arc where half the cast looks the same and there are like nine different fights happening at once, of course your brain gave up lol. The pacing somehow feels worse because everyone is screaming their moves in fast forward while you still can't tell who's punching who. I tough it out at normal speed these days, mostly because my pause button gets more action than the actual episode.
