Chapter 1176?

The quality of the anime has some serious dips, but the manga is absolutely god tier from start to finish (or current latest chapter).

I think it’s more like a soap opera to the Japanese, that’s a guess though. It started in 1998 or 99, which means if you were 5 when you started watching it, you’re in your upper 20’s which is wild. I think there are people that cut out all of the filler of the anime that you can watch and the netflix adaption is about 4 years’ worth.

It gets good around chapter 81.

Then later you realize it was always good.

As a huge #OnePiece fan, I was enjoying it at the get go, but I have to admit that there were some moments where I felt it was slow, but I kept watching because of the way fans talked about it, the moment I felt completely in love with the series was at Arlong Park Arc (ep 31-44), especially with the episode 37, for others is later or early in the story.

I understand it is scary to get started after seeing the amount of chapters and episodes it has, it takes time commitment, it’s been almost two years since I watched the first episode, and it has been an incredible experience. You have multiple options to start.

• Read the manga. The source material. Official website to read the first saga for free

• Watch the anime. Fans complain about the pacing, it was annoying for me at certain moments, but for me, most of the time I didn’t notice it. It has the advantage of being more accessible, I would say, most people will likely watch on a streaming service with the dub in their native language. Watch One Piece on Crunchyroll

• Watch One Pace. Fan edit of the anime. This is a project that takes the episodes of the anime, and edit them to make them more truthful to the source material by removing filler scene, long reaction shots, stretched fights, fixing certain errors from the original anime (especially from the old ones, like color schemes since they didn’t know or errors that made the final version probably because of deadlines of being a weekly anime since 1999) and removing censorship from certain censored scenes. You can download the episodes by torrent or watch through telegram. Their website claims it 45% faster to watch than the original. One Pace official website

• Watch One Piece Live Action. Even though it has certain controversial changes that I don’t agree with, I loved how it opened the door for a lot of people to read the manga, watch the anime or One Pace. Watch One Piece Live Action on Netflix

The real One Piece are the friends we made along the way

Ask that matters is that we know the one piece, the one piece is real

When I had a kid at home who liked one piece I learnt that the show has no end. You can watch it while you want to and you’ll get a little story progression. You don’t need to start at the start, you don’t need to watch to the non existent end

It was fun to watch the first twenty or so episodes then jump to the current state (current state circa 2007)

It should be illegal to recommend shows with more than 1000 episodes.

If you like it fine, but I saw it and the pacing is straight up horrible even if the worldbuilding is neat.

There are battles that take literally more than 5 hours without counting the intros and recaps. Even my longest D&D battle was shorter, and those are freaking turn based.

Shonen manga is notorious for having winding stories with no narrative endgame planned.

Even the DBZ anime at 291 episodes is brutally long and drawn out, with a narrative that obviously repeats itself to the point of self-parody.

Everybody is gonna enjoy what they want to enjoy, but cmon.
