Same man I'm like on ep 360 (around chap 450) and avoiding one piece online like the plague bcz of spoilers so far google has spoiled 2 character deaths Edit: !!!! SPOILER WARNING: DON'T READ THE COMMENTS BELOW IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN PAST THE IMPEL DOWN ARC !!!!
Exactly, manga is also full of consistently great art, whereas the anime has some pretty funny (bad) art, animation and voice acting in some parts. The only big advantage the anime has over the manga is that there's some REALLY good moments in the anime, specifically with it's use of music. For an example of something better in the anime than in the manga, look at the end of the fight against Crocodile.
@@markitosevans1955 I'm guessing you watched One Piece dubbed? That's really unfortunate, I'm usually not a snob about subs vs. dubs but One Piece is an example where watching the dub objectively makes it a worse show.
Strange. I‘ve been reading One Piece since it‘s been released in Germany. That was like Feb 2001. That was before 9/11. It‘s been over 21 years now and I‘m no longer a student, I‘m a married man in my 40’s with my own family, my own property, a degree, a good job, yet I‘m still reading One Piece on a weekly basis. At the weekend, WaNoKuni finished with chapter 1053. Weird to imagine that we old folks already followed the series when this three passionate guys were still toddlers and I‘m being generous here. 😅 Someone claiming he caught up to One Piece in the last 3 weeks seems mindblowing to me considering I myself have dedicated half of my life reading the manga in realtime. 😂 Since the story seems to steer towards its final set of arcs now, I begin to ask myself what to do once we can read the final chapter. It will be a once in a lifetime experience though, that much‘s for sure. I can’t imagine how Oda himself will feel once he finishes the final panel and lays down the pen for good. Certainly a big part of my life, reading One Piece. I‘m curious to find out how it feels when it’s all wrapped up. Crossing my fingers for the most possible epic series finale ever! What is the One Piece? Soon we‘ll all find out! ✌️
I caught up to op in just 2 months... Funny how naruto was the reason I got into one piece. I didn't even know it existed before 2020. i saw op from a naruto powerscaling video and have been following it ever since. Two years have passed since this journey began I can't even imagine how you had to wait a week fir 21 years! Crazy isn't it. I'm almost done with my college now, so i dont have too much time to relax. But when I do, I will definitely be reading the next chapter of one piece. I'll be on this journey with you till the end :)
Wow! What a genuinely heartwarming comment. Thank you! 😊 Being a dedicaded One Piece fan somehow makes you a full-fledged member of a real-life Strawhat Grand Fleet, doesn't it? 🥹 I'm looking forward to unravel all remaining mysteries with all of you! 👍
No body may read this but I love to talk bout one piece I started watching One piece when it was in the Punk Hazard Arc and I was like 16 or 17 at that time the 1st 50 episode felt super childish to me the syrup village arc was kind of boring but then comes the baratie arc omg luffy punches thru don kreig shield and Zoro declared his loyalty and that got me hooked up then comes the Alabasta arc and after that My whole world was One piece I woke up in the morning watching one piece episodes after episodes I was feeling like I was the part of the crew Luffy became my best friend It just took me 2 months to complete anime and reading the manga then watching the movies When ever I feel down just go back to youtube and start watching one piece funny moments and it makes me happy Still today I get goosebumps whenever I rewatch that luffy punching celestial dragon scene I can't explain in words what's one piece is to me
One piece is a passion. Even though i can name countlss flaws in the anime i still watch it every week for the past 10 years and its still my favourite story with my favorite charachters
Oda designed a pretty meta narrative, where the protagonists themselves cant wait to get to one piece and find out the end fo the journey (for us the end of the manga) and discover the secrets of the world, but Oda made sure to address that in manga almost speaking to readers and breking the 4th wall in one of the most memorable moments of the series (Luffy telling Usopp to shut up because he doesnt want a boring adventure). Also seeing Rogers finale fowitr example. Im sure when one piece ends, it wont jus tend and were going to be left with this void or whatever, Oda will make sure to address the audiences feelings looking back on the journey (because for us reading the manga was also a journey) and will give his thoughts through whatever meta narrative he uses with Lufyf and the Strawhats
I love one piece but it defo is too long, but it’s worth it cos the plot is that good. I don’t get why people don’t think it’s not a valid reason to not watch a show.
@Assistant to the Regional Manager nah what I’m saying is it’s worth watching even if it’s long, but to appreciate one piece you need to watch it all, but some people simply don’t have the time to watch a long series and one piece isn’t even finished so there’s that too, it would take people a long time to watch it. And what I’m saying is that people think that it being “too long” is not a good enough reason to not watch it when actually people may actually want to watch it but they simply are unable to watch it because it so long
I started watching One Piece after I overheard someone in a class I had say they watched the entirety of The Office over ten times. I thought "If you can watch this long show a dozen times, I can watch this super-long show once."
It shouldn’t take 5 years to read One Piece. Totally not Mark read most of it in 5 months. And he’s reading it as part of his channel, otherwise he’d be done already.
I think there is a great benefit to the way he is reading it. reading a chunk at a time, and then going back and analyzing that chunk and talking to people before moving on. It is very effective when trying to digest all the details and information Oda puts in the manga.
Yeah I think it's way overhyped how long it is to read. Even if you read 50 chapters a week, which is probably 4ish hours, you can be caught up in 20 weeks, which is less than 5 months. And 4 hours a week isn't much at all. If you read a volume a day, which is like an hour you can be caught up in 3 and a bit months. And then once you're caught up it's like 35-40 chapters a year that you read in like 5-10 minutes weekly. It's not really as big of a commitment as people make it out to be.
one piece literally seems so short when you catch up the story feels like such a small part of the world has been discovered but the you realise you read 1000 chapters
It seems like a nightmare. At the time i started they literally release the 1000th episode. Thought it was going to be a chore and it ended up being the best journey I’ve been on
Yes! Everyone that has watched One Piece, has to have complained that One Piece has so many episodes, but you end up wanting more episodes once you reach the end. It’s also hell when you catch up to the anime cus you have to wait for weekly eps.
@@builtdifferent3745 damn, i just remembered Fight Together and why its one of my favorite Openings of all time! And i don't even think its Op 14 its Op 11 i think 😅
Honestly??? I recommend the manga obviously but tbh one piece isn’t family guy or something where its just going on forever for money’s sake. Everything has a payoff and so its not just 80 arcs of characters dragging their feet. So tbh the anime community with rushing to finish anime but like??? If you just start one piece, whether you wanna finish it immediately or take your time its all up to you tbh. Just start and when you get bored or tired, take a break and come back to it in a month. That’s literally what ive been doing with naruto for years. I still ain’t officially done with the series but tbh i dont mind. Nothing worse than forcing yourself to watch something you lost the spark for.
@@theradionicrevival8068 bruh yes why rush/ this goes to everything music films anime video games programming painting mix martial arts etc etc / why bother watching an anime when youre feeling like its work while watching it its almost like they are just watching just to say they watched it
@@thefallenonezz7540 pretty much, i still haven’t finished naruto and i’m okay with that tbh. One day i’ll get in the mood to watch it again, and i’ll just pick up where i left off. It really doesn’t matter how long or how little time it takes for me to finish as long as i go at my own pace and have fun
I mean its just a amateur numbers for araki tho (the author of JJBA) he’s gonna hit his 40th year being a mangaka in 2022 but still both of em are awesome mangaka
I started One Pace in January, Im almost caught up in Wano, the feeling that in just a few more hours there wont be aay more for a week is terrifying to me. its an amazing series
I personally disagree. I tried getting into it and i couldnt. It couldnt hold my attention. But i can really only get into psychological anime or anime that makes you think.
@@ThePeacePlant depends when did you drop it?! Because the further you get , the more question about the world you get and you won't be able to drop it once you are hooked .
Problem with One Piece is the burn out you start to feel after watching same thing for Hours its speacially after time skip thoes hand ful of arcs felt like torture you would say why binge watch yeah so i got these friends who forced me to catch up as fast as i can I still think Pre time skip one piece is better
@@figmentcocktail3607 i liked it right away, and it just kept steadily building in goodness. I don’t think I can point to a specific part where it got good, it just always was (for me)
Man, this is so relatable to me it's not even real. I put off getting into One Piece for years, even tried to get into the anime at one point before stopping after Whiskey Peak. When the pandemic started and I didn't really have anything else to do, I decided that I wanted to catch up just before chapter 1000 dropped. Man, am I happy I did. Just getting started on Wano now and it has easily become one of the best experiences of my life being able to just blast through this masterclass of story telling. Can't wait to be caught up so I can join in on the discussion happening in the community soon.
@@byslow4563 My top 3ish at the moment are Water 7(I just include Enies Lobby in that), Impel Down, and Whole Cake(that one might be recency bias though). And of course Marineford is up there as well.
I think people don't realize just how well put together the world of One Piece is. Usually, when a series of any kind goes on for that long, it tends to go off the rails, add stuff that doesn't matter, or drop a lot in quality. But in OP, every single one of the almost 1000 chapters is integral to the story and it just continues to build upon itself. It's not just a collection of arcs that have little to nothing to do with each other.
One of the most amazing parts is how Oda sets up future arcs. Hey remember that character from 2 arcs ago that felt kinda one note? Yeah well they’re extremely important and without them an entire culture will crumble from corruption.
@@SevenIsaCannibal7 this, it blows my mind when i decided to read one piece from the start again and realized that there were A LOT of important characters that appeared very early in the series, like dragon for example, things like this show how well planned one piece actually is
If he think he's wasting time, Connor could easily just make a mini-series of being a One Piece Virgin. Totallynotmark and Animak from One Piece Virgin podcast are doin it right now. I follow that shit religously. Easy content and baits all the One Piece fans.
I’ve always said there’s two types of people: 1) The people who absolutely love One Piece and read it religiously. 2) The people who think its absolute dogshit and not worth their time.
A friend of mine introduced me to One Piece 3 years ago, when there were about 950 chapters. I just read it, and caught back all the story in 6 weeks, and now I just follow every chapter release. While reading it I was like "Oh, still 200 chapters before chapter 500", then 3 days later "Omg now only 100 left". I was surprised by how fast I was going through the story
I think manga is better than the anime cuz u dont have to worry about fillers, its way fast and u even get to see stories about side characters on each chapter covers...but still the animation in wano, voice acting and the anime brings the characters to life...i read the manga till wano and watched the anime after
I kinda get where connor's coming from, i was one of those ppl that stayed away from One Piece bc of the length, but bc of quarantine i just gave it a shot on a whim and read the manga (since my friends heavily recommended the manga instead of the anime to me) honestly it's legit one of the best experiences i've had, i even found myself actually forgetting what ch im already on or how long it actually is, cause u really get immersed in the story, it's so damn good
As someone who caught up to One Piece few weeks ago, i can confirm that, before you start watching it's probably gonna be "it's too much" and after you're all caught up it became "it's not enough"
@JOGLO JOSHEM I just finished Enie’s Island. For me, once Luffy put his hat on Nami at Arlong Park, I was hooked. I usually take a few days or even a week or two between arcs, but I’ll knock an entire arc out in like a few days. I hesitated to start it for years but now that I’m finally in to it, I’ve been blowing throw it.
Getting into One Piece after watching spoilers is truly a nightmare if you are that impatient, because you will be constantly waiting for characters to appear and fights to happen, meanwhile you are watching Luffy fight a clown
as someone whos caught up to OP, the way i would describe it is - 10 main characters from seperate tv shows get together and go on adventures influencing everyone they meet and helping each other achieve their dreams. I can almost compare one story arc in OP to a entire separate show
We gotta praise Oda for being able to single-handedly write a consistent and amazing story with such a well built world and that it's still running to this day
@24 Preetish Pratihari 11E i often wonder if people noticed. In alabasta luffy punches the roof of a cave early on. Then smack Crocodile in a bigger way. Dressrosa he breaks the ring in Colosseum. later smack doflamingo the land breaks the same way. Foreshadow king lol
@24 Preetish Pratihari 11E Really is. Attack on Titan also has an amazing foreshadowing, but Oda manages to build this world full of details in a span of 20plus years
I started one piece almost two months ago and im about to start the Wano arc. I literally work, watch one piece, and sleep. I dont watch anime anymore cause its just not as interesting as it used to be but one piece seem be the only show to bring that magic back
@@MrAxileas no usually when people say it’s to long are obviously people who never watched One piece because trust me One piece is no where near boring
I felt the same way about One Piece, especially starting out with the anime because the pacing is so different. Once I switched to reading the manga though, it’s gone by so past. I think I started reading in April, and now I’m around Chapter 925. Nearly to the point where I’m caught up to the anime and I don’t have to worry about too many spoilers. Great decision, One Piece is 10/10
I’m honestly thinking of that too, but it just sucks that it’s so long; I like having physical copies of volumes, but that definitely won’t be too ideal here.
@@Stryfe52 I read it on color now and it's been quite the experience. Though having physical copies would be amaz9ng but i dont have the money or shelve space lol
dude i have a question for u why do u like op anime so much i mean i know different people have different taste and opinions But if you like the mangas that is one thing but the anime have so much problems Like op anime . Has bad pacing everyone knows that ( dresrosa one of the top arc in manga is ruined in anime thanks to the garbage pacing ) , fillers i am not talking about filler episode but biller scenes in cannon episode there are many op episodes which has 5 to 10 min of cannon content and the rest are just fillers ( dont get me wrong if these fillers/anime original is actually good or atleast ok then that's good but most of the time they are bad and makes the episode worse ) , anime recap syndrome ( there are so many episode in op where the first 5 to 7 min of episode are recap of previous episodes ) , animation i personally don't have problems with anime but many say op have a bad animation
That’s why I really dosliek the small series that are only 12-13 episodes I’m one of those guys that like the shows like one piece, dragon ball, hxh, I like having a lot of episodes
I started one piece late last year and it didn't feel like a daunting task to me, idk why. I'm almost caught up now (after many long breaks) and i kinda don't want to catch up, especially since it's in its last arc. It's so good and there's so much depth, especially later in the series that i don't want it to end/wait for the weekly release. If you haven't watched it, don't think about how long it is, just give it a try and keep watching if you like it, discover the world at your own pace and fall in love with the characters on your own time, it will always be there for you.
@@chbastard9666 I mean it depends on the arc like Naruto and Bleach while they could definitely fall into that for the most part the episodes were usually at least 18 minutes or more(and a full 2 if you were watching filler) so if like two thirds of those episodes were Bleach and Naruto that'd be way more than that
That was me back in 2008. It was a decade since I've stopped watching anime. Then, two of my friends started to argue which one was better: Naruto or Bleach. I watched both of them and couldn't reach a conclusion. So, I thought to myself, "Why not give a chance to One Piece"? One month and 380 episodes later, and went to friends I said: "You're both wrong. You lived a lie. One Piece is the only salvation.", and they laughed out loud. Until this day I NEVER convinced someone to watch One Piece. **cries at the corner**
@@locksley12 IKR!!? it's such a good anime, tho its one of those shows where new things happen every episode (which are the cases). they don't exactly involve anything of the main story, only happens in few episodes apart maybe, and the movies are fucking god tier.
Took me about a few months to watch the first 300 episode of One Piece but from 300 to 1000, went much quicker than from 1 to 300. Currently at episode 1002. Greatest anime of all time
Nice dude. I went from the start and wanted to keep up with with friend of mine who is at 1000 and forward. I can say, once I passed episode 80-100 and past that even 200-300 the show truly made itself better
@@BOB_BOBBSIN dude i have a question for u why do u like op anime so much i mean i know different people have different taste and opinions But if you like the mangas that is one thing but the anime have so much problems Like op anime .

Same, dude. It took me a few months to go from the start of the anime to the end of Arabasta, then I took a break for more than a year. One day, I decided to pick it back up and caught up in like 4 months. Once I got to Enies Lobby, I was hooked. I watched 100 episodes in some of those weeks.
i started One Piece at the beginning of quarantine. 5 months later I'm at the Zou arc (after 700+ episodes) yes, it never occured to me that I could just read the manga... and I never regretted it
@@vince791 i’ve done the exact same thing and i caught up maybe 2 weeks ago, in the month of august i watched all the way from the start of punk hazard to the end of dressrosa ( it was like 250 episodes)
Every time people complain about One Piece being too long and after they finally catch up they wish it was longer. It might seem really daunting at first but once you're in you're hooked for life.
But its like eating wagyu steak everyday, yeah its really fucking good and really really delicious and its can be different way to prepare it to make it exciting but its still steak. Too much of a good thing is still too much imo.
My greatest anime achievement is making 2 friends watch one piece 💀One is caught up and one is currently in impel down. Took a lot of convincing and hyping them up using minimal spoilers
I got 1 friend into it and caught up and 1 to read up until Arlong park (where I told him he could stop if he really didn’t like it). The friend who got into it loves it and regrets not taking my recommendation earlier. (The one who didn’t like it has a serious hate towards anime and manga because it’s “cringe” so I’m pretty sure he’s just being stubborn but whatever. Who knows, maybe he just legitimately doesn’t like it and that’s fine too.)
Saaame. In Highschool there was a friend of mine that loved Naruto, and everytime I mentioned One Piece he would complain that it's too long and he didn't want to compromise, and that the art was ugly. I changed my strategy and hyped One Piece with jokes about Ussop and Mr. 2 Bon Clay, and low and behold he binged watch that shit like no tomorrow. Fucking worth it.
When I started One Piece I didn't even think about how long it was, I just started watching it at a normal rate almost everyday (1/2 episodes before going to sleep). The time most people spend watching TV or something like that, for me (at least for more than a year) it was watching One Piece and that way of consuming it was even better because I couldn't watch more than 2 or 3 episodes every night so when there was a cliffhanger I just had to wait until the next day which hyped me up a lot. Honestly, the anime can be a little tedious and at the time I really wasn't into reading manga but luckyly there are now some places where One Piece's filler is cut from the episodes and they just upload them almost exactly as how it is in the manga. Now I'm waiting every week for a chapter of the best work of fiction ever made, best decision in my life.
that's why I wish I started reading manga sooner, I watched all of one piece over the course of 2 and a half months and started reading manga maybe 2 months after that. I could have saved myself so much fuckin time If I just read it all instead.
@@kyunikoi I you only read manga yoi will not get experience of Open piece ost and epic speeches Think about it Which is better Marry farewell in manga or in anime Ost at time of marry farewell in anime make it better then manga
They really didn’t do god of high school justice. In the first episode alone, they skipped several chapters of character development for Mori jin, daewi, and mira. They just immediately threw the viewer into a fight. It was probably the worst way they could have started
DUDE. I started reading the web comic ajd first 5 chs i got more invested in The main trio than the show gave us. Man i would've love ti see Mira kick that entire gangs ass in the anime😂
At first One Piece was a commitment, for quite a while I was worried I didn't "get it", that i didn't like this thing that everyone else in the anime community adores. Then Arlong Park happened and I haven't looked back, One Piece is amazing
Yooo exactly! The first few arcs were alright but the scene where Nami asks Luffy for help in the Arlong Park arc is where I decided I was going to watch the entire show. No regrets. Absolutely love One Piece now
@@Xraellium Then you have a high tolerance for meh-content I guess. That's more than 200 episodes in already! I stopped watching Fairy Tail shortly after the Timeskip (think it's episode 125 or so). The only anime I stopped watching, because I feel it wasn't going anywhere really.
As someone who only started reading on piece a year or so ago and caught up within a few months, it’s about seeing it as something to accomplish not a commitment to overcome. I had randomly found the first box set at a thrift store for $100 and decided I should just give it a shot because if I didn’t like it I could resell the box set pretty easily! Turns out I didn’t need to though
who is xebek and his fight with garp... zoro vs mehawk what is actually one piece death of akainu secrects of imu blackbeard's secret there are thusand of secrets yet to be revealed
People don't want to start One Piece because they think they wouldn't enjoy it because of the lengthy eps or because they think it's a huge commitment. Well, the thing I can only say is you will never know if you don't try.
Nah, It's because these days, it's cool to be anti-popular in media. I am the same in almost any popular entertainment that has been put out in the recent years and I admit I just don't watch it because it's popular, and I can talk about how I'm cool by not watching those things. I mellowed out in one piece though, I know I'm in the wrong so maybe I'm just lazy now more than wanting to be cool by not watching it.
onepace.net/overview - people need to know this exists. "One Pace" has been cutting all the Toei filler pacing issues out. They stream their editing sessions on Twitch & have a discord What is One Pace? "One Pace is a team effort that started in March 2013 with the goal of matching the One Piece manga more accurately than Toei's anime adaptation. We cut out filler scenes, non-canon reaction shots, padded sequences, and re-order scenes to stay truer to Goda's manga."
@@audax_ I agree, but some people just won’t, so it’s better to share this in that case Catching up to the anime is what got me into manga & it’s such an amazing way to immerse in the story, it’s the quintessential way I appreciate Oda so much more after getting into manga
Rebecca flashbacks wasn't on manga I think. Maybe there was, but only once or twice. Dressrosa arc was pretty long time ago so I can't remember her flashbacks if she has any
i never imagined myself watching one piece before.. back in highschool i’ve been hearing it alot from my classmates and cousins before… it seems fun listening to them discuss the anime though i dont have any idea about it lol. fast forward, 5 years later after I graduated college.. we have 2 mos vacation that time.. i saw my brother watching one piece. since ive got nothing to do i started watching with him. he was already at the episode of arlong park at that time. they were searching for the money in nami’s backyard… that scene. i can still remember the emotions of the characters in that episode. i was like, “is this really one piece?” wow i cant believe because i thought it was just a fun anime but theres something else deep about it. i immediately get the gist of the story, that’s why i was immediately hooked up to it even though i haven’t started from ep 1. i got curious what’s gonna happen next so i watched the next episode, and the next one…until i didnt notice we were already at the latest episode at that time it is punk hazard. i really enjoyed each and every episode. there is a sense of connection to the characters. it feels like they are part of my life already. you cant hate one piece. its truly a gem.
yeah but its a big bet and like u have to kinda force yourself to watch the first idk 100 episodes like im starting to watch it and im finding it aight like its cool but kinda whatever and theres not much plotwise and im only watching it cause ive heard people who i trust the opinion say that its a great manga/anime. like for example when i watched naruto by the time i was in episode 60 I was mutch more invested in the plot than in one piece. So while i agree with u i still think its a big commitment and u have to be brave lol
@@MrEedduu11 Well if you're not interested by like episode 45 of when the Arlong Arc is finished then I dunno what to tell you. Alabasta is also another great arc
@@wildweepapa8863 yeah the arlong was fire im currently watching the alabasta arc and its not that im not interested but im just not as invested as i thought
@@MrEedduu11 It depends on what you like. The story telling is really good in OP especially in later arcs, that's kinda what got me invested, that and the characters.
To be fair Connor is in a position where he could easily turn reading One Piece into work hours. I would absolutely watch a video of Connor experiencing One Piece blind
Most fans(including myself) whose reasons for watching/reading One Piece complained about length before deciding to get into it. After that, they figure out it's not long enough.
@@francischantengco9906 thennnn you should read the one piece spin offs. like the boichi ace manga. the foodwars x one piece crossover chapter. but if u already read those you should try other good series. i would say hunter x hunter and attack on titan are good enough to watch after one piece without being dissappointed. you can also try fmab butttt hxh and aot are better to watch after one piece than fmab. (fmab is really good but imo it wouldnt be as good watching it after one piece but u can if ya want). You can also try jojo's its very good but its hard to get into. I wouldnt recommend going for naruto and bleach as their animes arent that good compared to one piece and typically people watch naruto first and then watch one piece because it feels werid to watch one piece after naruto :) but again you can choose, just explore your options :)))))
Honestly I started the one piece manga on a total whim at age 11 in 2018 not knowing how big of a commitment it would be. Easily one of the best decisions I have ever made.
I cringed so hard when Joey said that One piece also had an extended Ending, when they dropped endings when they decided to do extended Openings more than a decade ago
The reason I fell for one piece was the world building and the reality that the strahats journey would be long and hard to reach the one piece. The political and social dilemma between pirates and the world government is so interesting
Baratie and arlong were the teasers that kept me going. When I saw GOMU GOMU NO STOOOORRMMM at the end of Alabasta with that music and beautiful handrawn animation I was hooked
You guys got thrilled in arlong ...I was stunned by the fact this anime lietrally showed killing in 4th ep .......the symbolism was trueee high....PUT YOUR LIFE ON IT THIS THING IS NOT A TOY ....
I watched a couple clips about the wano arc and thought "that is fk insane i wanna read that" watched 25 episodes got bored outta my mind. Then i thought "yknow what imma catch up" and i started the manga. That was 3 months ago. Now im at chapter 650 and it's such a good series. I have no regrets Update: I caught up, and I'm back at Skypiea because I have separation issues.
i always recommend 100% reading the manga....The pacing of the anime is so slow to me, and each chapter is so densely filled with dialogue that it's just better to read.

Orange town and especially syrup village had terrible pacing issues. The show improved a lot in that aspect since then, at least way up until dressrosa from what i've heard.
The thing here is people dont have the privilege to watch animes multiple episodes a day. By the time you watch the 100th episode you would have forgotten almost every side characters names and other side plots. Where you could watch 12 and 24 episode animes that you would know the entire story. If I dont have a life then I would have watch long animes like Bleach, One piece, naruto etc. Many people just dont see themselves watching an anime almost a thousand episodes long.
I'm sorry but one piece is way too long for what it is. One piece is mid AF the only reason it's gone on this long is cause of Toeis need to milk the series just like they do dragon ball. One piece is the bran flakes of shonen
I have been reading One Pice since I was 15…I am 38 this year…yep I have been waiting for new chapters and episodes for months at one time. I am slowly collecting the volumes.
1 year? I caught up to the entirety of One Piece (manga) in 1 month and I loved it. Except Punk Hazzard because my god that arc felt like I was reading a text book.
Starting one piece was the greatest decision of my life, the only break I took was in the middle of skypea because that arc was so boring at first, in that time I took a break I watched all of bemoan slayer and Baki
The biggest argument I hear from someone about why they don't want to watch One Piece is that it's long. But like they said, One Piece is just THAT good, that you DON'T want it to end. You'll be happy that there are that many episodes. I know I am. Also, after watching all of Naruto, HunterXHunter, Bleach, and basically most long-running shounen, I love being able to stick with something for so long. Y'all can't tell me, you've never finished an anime and been like, "what am I going to do with my life now?" or had that empty feeling after finishing an anime, and 12 episodes and even 24 episodes go quick.
Well my argument is that my friend who’s watching it currently says it gets really good in the 400’s. And it being good or not is subjective. The problem with it being almost 1000 episodes is that you don’t know when it’s going to get good for you. If it gets good for you at all. That’s the problem with it. If u like it from the get go, then great ! But if you don’t, and you are waiting and waiting and waiting for it to get good... there’s over 1000 episodes.
I had that feeling with A Place Further than the Universe. It was such a bitchslap in my face like "what the hell you're not doing anything with your life" but it's also such a feelsgood anime that really draws you in. I didn't want that to end. It was like experiencing a better reality. I wanted that to be my life. So off with me to college to become a scientist and live among the penguins. Going on to Year 2 towards a Biology degree. This anime really turned my life around. But this is all to tie in that One Piece gives very similar feelings of just wanting to live on a permanent adventure with your friends, it's really fucking good and best of all it doesn't end
@@freedom8163 That’s a you problem tbh, when I watched one piece the show wasn’t boring and it wasn’t super fun either until I got further in, I’d say Arlong park is when I really got into it I think, honestly it’s been like 10 years or so so I could be off but what I’m trying to say is just watch the show even if you takes you 100 years, watch an episode then watch another next week or something, watch at your own pace, it personally took me 8 years to catch up lol cause I binged like 300 episodes then stopped for 3 years then binged 200 episodes and stopped etc. One piece is still my number one anime to this day cause of the journey I’ve had with the show
@@yourdaddy8605 my point is, if you don’t like it from the first few episodes... then it’s not going to be worth 1000 episodes to figure out if u like it or not. Which is why a lot of people stray away from one piece. They don’t know how long it’ll take for them to like it, if they ever even end up liking it at all. It’s not worth watching 1000 episodes to find out if u don’t like it from the first few to 100 episodes.
He's how I've been dealing with One piece for the last 6 years: I watch 50 episodes, and then I wait for a year to watch another 50. That way I won't have to deal with the lack of content since each episode it's worth like 10-15 minutes.
@@byslow4563 Some arcs are too long to wait, like Dressrosa. But believe me, there is no problem going back at all. That 3-4 minute recap at the beginning can be useful after all. hahaha
@@xrenzo1991 I do the same 😂 except instead of every 50 eps I do like 100s of eps, not even intentionally. It’s only when I got to ep 900 that I decided to wait every 50 eps and binge watch
When pitching One Piece, I always stress just how self-contained the arcs are. Yeah, there's an interconnectedness to every arc, but if you missed all of Skypeia you'll pick up what you missed through flashbacks no problem. And also each of them is pretty satisfying on its own. He always punches the bad guy in the face and liberates the village or whatever and it's great and they wrap it up all nice and neat.
I get what you’re saying but Oda does a lot of long term pay off. Sure you might be ok skipping skypeia but you’re gonna miss all the pay off of the details when you get to Wano
this is grossly oversimplifying the technical achievement that is oda's patience and attention to detail but i get where you're coming from. one piece arcs are self contained stories, but pay attention, and oda will rock your socks.
I’m so happy I picked up One Poece back in September. I’ve been endless bingeing. I’m more than halfway through Dressrosa. Marineford and Enies Lobby were amazing
@@scorpionrealms7847 It was just in response to what they were talking about which is longer. 🙈 In the case of One Piece there is a lot of filler to stall because the anime caught up with the manga a lot and had to wait for the manga to update.
Yeah, and I'm afraid that some people won't be able to experience it in their life even though it could do them a lot of good. I mean, it helped a lot of people through depression.
@@glory1950 yes one piece manga and berserk are probably the best pieces of fiction I’ve read, I can’t choose personally which one I like more they are both absolutely amazing but so different at the same time
I know this is an old video, but still. I don't think it is a nightmare to get into One Piece. You start from the beginning and little by little you move your way through it. About 15-20 years ago, I mostly read manga and I never got into One Piece because back then it already had over 300 chapters. Funnily enough, after my brother wouldn't stop bugging me about One Piece I decided to finally start watching the anime this year, which now has over 1000 episodes (my mind works in mysterious ways). I only watch 3 episodes everyday because I'm watching other stuff too, but I'm already on episode 810. So yeah, it might seem daunting at first, but it's just a matter of taking the plunge and going for it. It's not complicated or nightmarish in any way.
I remember when I first saw One Piece (manga in the library), I thought the art style looked silly and wasn't into it lol But I'm a huge fan of it now, I started watching/reading it during a really hard time in my life. I have such fond memories of staying up late with my brother in my apartment, laughing at Whitebeard's laugh. One Piece helped with getting a boyfriend (tho I'm single now), it made me bond with friends and coworkers. For me, it's not only the story I love but the stories it's made in my life as well. Fond memories I can look back on instead of the shitty ones from before it all.
I’d recommend reading the manga, not because, “Toei bad,” but because it allows one to have a great degree of control over the pacing, especially if you’re a fast reader. It takes me about the same amount of time to read 5 volumes volume as it does to watch one episode, even at my slowest, I can still read around a volume’s worth of content in about 20 minutes. I’m not trying to flex or anything, I’m just saying if you’re like that, definitely read the manga.
Exactly, a lot of "I want to catch up to chapter xx" burn through all of it, and probably miss halve of the good stuff. Use the Anime to enhance the Manga experience, but take your time, this show is running for 20+ years, it won't die if you need a year to catch up.
Heres the problem. Theres a lot of people, including myself, who suffer from Aphantasia. We have no imagination. Therefore, we cant imagine the fights as we read. Its black and white pictures. Anime is better for that reason.
Literally everyone I've seen in quarantine: "FINE! I'LL READ/WATCH ONE PIECE. IT'LL TAKE ME A BAJILLION YEARS THOUGH!" *3 weeks later on Episode/Chapter 300.* "..........Why did no one tell me how fucking amazing this series is?"
@@deadbones733 I started during the first week of august and caught up to the anime and the manga like 3 weeks ago! I used to shit on one piece until I decided to take the plunge and watch it, it’s now undoubtedly my favourite series of all time and is part of my life now!
@@Rhyiuk hey man, you're lucky that your first anime was a masterpiece. Cause I can guarantee you that like 70-80% of anime fans you'll meet had either watched a shounen like Naruto or some trashy power fantasy harem anime
Weebs that would watch 500 episodes of naruto and wont watch one piece cause it’s too long disgust me the most. At least he’s consistent with his views of not making commitments to long anime.
It took me 10 years of HATING One Piece and saying how much I wasn't going to even watch a single episode. A friend asked me over and over to watch it with them and I finally gave it just to make them happy...and it took 20something episodes to get into it. Once Sanji showed up, I was hooked. Up till then I didn't care at all but Sanji pulled me in and now I'm ending the Skypiea Arc and I'm INVESTED in everyone and I want to start the manga. 1015+ episodes? Now that I'm in deep, it doesn't feel like enough.
Broo Skypiea was when i realized this show has the potential to be the greatest piece of fiction ever. Got me so hooked. Trust me, wait till you get to episode 400. Just 0-400 wouldve been a world class anime
@@panjamysy let's goo. Didn't it have you at the edge of your seat. I love that the anime is willing to take risks to increase the tension. Doesn't get set into its habits
dude i have a question for u why do u like op anime so much i mean i know different people have different taste and opinions But if you like the mangas that is one thing but the anime have so much problems Like op anime . Has bad pacing everyone knows that ( dresrosa one of the top arc in manga is ruined in anime thanks to the garbage pacing ) , fillers i am not talking about filler episode but biller scenes in cannon episode there are many op episodes which has 5 to 10 min of cannon content and the rest are just fillers ( dont get me wrong if these fillers/anime original is actually good or atleast ok then that's good but most of the time they are bad and makes the episode worse ) , anime recap syndrome ( there are so many episode in op where the first 5 to 7 min of episode are recap of previous episodes ) , animation i personally don't have problems with anime but many say op have a bad animation

The easy thing to do is read the manga. No filler, and you can read faster than you watch.
Exactly, manga is also full of consistently great art, whereas the anime has some pretty funny (bad) art, animation and voice acting in some parts. The only big advantage the anime has over the manga is that there's some REALLY good moments in the anime, specifically with it's use of music. For an example of something better in the anime than in the manga, look at the end of the fight against Crocodile.
The only filler everyone should watch is G8 arc
Unpopular opinion here, i think op manga is worse than the anime. Too much text
@@markitosevans1955 I'm guessing you watched One Piece dubbed? That's really unfortunate, I'm usually not a snob about subs vs. dubs but One Piece is an example where watching the dub objectively makes it a worse show.

Strange. I‘ve been reading One Piece since it‘s been released in Germany. That was like Feb 2001. That was before 9/11. It‘s been over 21 years now and I‘m no longer a student, I‘m a married man in my 40’s with my own family, my own property, a degree, a good job, yet I‘m still reading One Piece on a weekly basis. At the weekend, WaNoKuni finished with chapter 1053.
Weird to imagine that we old folks already followed the series when this three passionate guys were still toddlers and I‘m being generous here. 😅
Someone claiming he caught up to One Piece in the last 3 weeks seems mindblowing to me considering I myself have dedicated half of my life reading the manga in realtime. 😂
Since the story seems to steer towards its final set of arcs now, I begin to ask myself what to do once we can read the final chapter. It will be a once in a lifetime experience though, that much‘s for sure.
I can’t imagine how Oda himself will feel once he finishes the final panel and lays down the pen for good.
Certainly a big part of my life, reading One Piece. I‘m curious to find out how it feels when it’s all wrapped up. Crossing my fingers for the most possible epic series finale ever! What is the One Piece? Soon we‘ll all find out! ✌️
I caught up to op in just 2 months... Funny how naruto was the reason I got into one piece. I didn't even know it existed before 2020. i saw op from a naruto powerscaling video and have been following it ever since. Two years have passed since this journey began I can't even imagine how you had to wait a week fir 21 years! Crazy isn't it.
I'm almost done with my college now, so i dont have too much time to relax. But when I do, I will definitely be reading the next chapter of one piece.
I'll be on this journey with you till the end
:)
Wow! What a genuinely heartwarming comment. Thank you! 😊
Being a dedicaded One Piece fan somehow makes you a full-fledged member of a real-life Strawhat Grand Fleet, doesn't it? 🥹
I'm looking forward to unravel all remaining mysteries with all of you! 👍
Im 37 but my story aligns with yours. Never enjoyed the anime too much but the manga had me hooked since book 1 (blue book) got published in germany.
No body may read this but I love to talk bout one piece
I started watching One piece when it was in the Punk Hazard Arc and I was like 16 or 17 at that time the 1st 50 episode felt super childish to me the syrup village arc was kind of boring but then comes the baratie arc omg luffy punches thru don kreig shield and Zoro declared his loyalty and that got me hooked up then comes the Alabasta arc and after that My whole world was One piece I woke up in the morning watching one piece episodes after episodes I was feeling like I was the part of the crew Luffy became my best friend
It just took me 2 months to complete anime and reading the manga then watching the movies
When ever I feel down just go back to youtube and start watching one piece funny moments and it makes me happy
Still today I get goosebumps whenever I rewatch that luffy punching celestial dragon scene
I can't explain in words what's one piece is to me
One piece is a passion. Even though i can name countlss flaws in the anime i still watch it every week for the past 10 years and its still my favourite story with my favorite charachters

"Dont be too hasty. The conclusion you'll reach might be different from what we found"

@@rinmeikan6229 We are watching you, chae.
Thats true honestly
Oda designed a pretty meta narrative, where the protagonists themselves cant wait to get to one piece and find out the end fo the journey (for us the end of the manga) and discover the secrets of the world, but Oda made sure to address that in manga almost speaking to readers and breking the 4th wall in one of the most memorable moments of the series (Luffy telling Usopp to shut up because he doesnt want a boring adventure). Also seeing Rogers finale fowitr example. Im sure when one piece ends, it wont jus tend and were going to be left with this void or whatever, Oda will make sure to address the audiences feelings looking back on the journey (because for us reading the manga was also a journey) and will give his thoughts through whatever meta narrative he uses with Lufyf and the Strawhats
"It's too long" says every One Piece fan ever. Once all caught up, goes through the agonizing pain of waiting for the next volumes.
This
Yeah
I love one piece but it defo is too long, but it’s worth it cos the plot is that good. I don’t get why people don’t think it’s not a valid reason to not watch a show.
@Assistant to the Regional Manager nah what I’m saying is it’s worth watching even if it’s long, but to appreciate one piece you need to watch it all, but some people simply don’t have the time to watch a long series and one piece isn’t even finished so there’s that too, it would take people a long time to watch it. And what I’m saying is that people think that it being “too long” is not a good enough reason to not watch it when actually people may actually want to watch it but they simply are unable to watch it because it so long
I started watching One Piece after I overheard someone in a class I had say they watched the entirety of The Office over ten times. I thought "If you can watch this long show a dozen times, I can watch this super-long show once."
It shouldn’t take 5 years to read One Piece. Totally not Mark read most of it in 5 months. And he’s reading it as part of his channel, otherwise he’d be done already.
I was thinking of how he read it in 5 months & managed to upload breakdowns all in that time when conner said that too
I think there is a great benefit to the way he is reading it. reading a chunk at a time, and then going back and analyzing that chunk and talking to people before moving on. It is very effective when trying to digest all the details and information Oda puts in the manga.
Yeah I think it's way overhyped how long it is to read. Even if you read 50 chapters a week, which is probably 4ish hours, you can be caught up in 20 weeks, which is less than 5 months. And 4 hours a week isn't much at all.
If you read a volume a day, which is like an hour you can be caught up in 3 and a bit months. And then once you're caught up it's like 35-40 chapters a year that you read in like 5-10 minutes weekly. It's not really as big of a commitment as people make it out to be.
I think its the reverse. If he wasn't reading half an arc minimum for his job he would have taken longer.

Honestly??? I recommend the manga obviously but tbh one piece isn’t family guy or something where its just going on forever for money’s sake. Everything has a payoff and so its not just 80 arcs of characters dragging their feet. So tbh the anime community with rushing to finish anime but like???
If you just start one piece, whether you wanna finish it immediately or take your time its all up to you tbh. Just start and when you get bored or tired, take a break and come back to it in a month.

I think people don't realize just how well put together the world of One Piece is. Usually, when a series of any kind goes on for that long, it tends to go off the rails, add stuff that doesn't matter, or drop a lot in quality. But in OP, every single one of the almost 1000 chapters is integral to the story and it just continues to build upon itself. It's not just a collection of arcs that have little to nothing to do with each other.
One of the most amazing parts is how Oda sets up future arcs. Hey remember that character from 2 arcs ago that felt kinda one note? Yeah well they’re extremely important and without them an entire culture will crumble from corruption.
Arguably, the only thing that has gotten a bit worse over time, is that there isn't *enough* details. That it isn't *longer*. That's saying something.

As someone who caught up to One Piece few weeks ago, i can confirm that, before you start watching it's probably gonna be "it's too much" and after you're all caught up it became "it's not enough"
true. I just caught up
Exactly. I find One Piece has not enough episodes and never want it to end.
@JOGLO JOSHEM I just finished Enie’s Island. For me, once Luffy put his hat on Nami at Arlong Park, I was hooked. I usually take a few days or even a week or two between arcs, but I’ll knock an entire arc out in like a few days. I hesitated to start it for years but now that I’m finally in to it, I’ve been blowing throw it.
@@hellnerburris weak sauce I knocked out the whole series in one month😂
This is true as heck! I finished Skypeia arc not too long ago, and while I am taking a break, I am wanting to get right back into the show.
Started One Piece in may, now nearing the end of Big Mom saga, what a journey honestly. The characters are something else.
Great bro👍🏼
@kebu☂️ 100 percent ! 😁
Question: would you say pre or post time skip is better?
@@harnessedcomic4381 its been a hot minute since i dropped one piece at ep 800 odd but id say pre time skip easy
@kebu☂️ definitely worth it. Just alot of long drawn out boring arcs
Before watching: One Piece is too long
After watching: too short
I'm currently in episode 530+ and it's the same thing
Nope
Same because there are still so many unanswered mysteries
Indeed
We will cry after it is finished
I bet when someone asks Oda what he does, he says "one piece". That's it. Not "mangaka" or "artist". Just "one piece". That's what he does.
"so what do you do for a living?"
"one piece"
"oh, what's tha-"
"one piece"
That's a fucing genius comment
What’s your blood ty- ONE PIECE!
Getting into One Piece after watching spoilers is truly a nightmare if you are that impatient, because you will be constantly waiting for characters to appear and fights to happen, meanwhile you are watching Luffy fight a clown
hahahaha. I'm glad I started onepiece when I was younger and it had not gone so far
Yeah but the clown is the best in the op universe
Hey that clown is the greatest one piece character, don't insult him
I’m on the clown fight right now
Lol I'm at that exact part right now, and still waiting for Moose person or giant blue dude to show up
as someone whos caught up to OP, the way i would describe it is - 10 main characters from seperate tv shows get together and go on adventures influencing everyone they meet and helping each other achieve their dreams. I can almost compare one story arc in OP to a entire separate show
We gotta praise Oda for being able to single-handedly write a consistent and amazing story with such a well built world and that it's still running to this day
And he intended it to be 5 yrs only.
I need more
Gotta praise his memory. To remember and reintegrate characters in a way that doesn't feel forced is such a gift.
@24 Preetish Pratihari 11E i often wonder if people noticed. In alabasta luffy punches the roof of a cave early on. Then smack Crocodile in a bigger way. Dressrosa he breaks the ring in Colosseum. later smack doflamingo the land breaks the same way. Foreshadow king lol
@24 Preetish Pratihari 11E Really is. Attack on Titan also has an amazing foreshadowing, but Oda manages to build this world full of details in a span of 20plus years

I felt the same way about One Piece, especially starting out with the anime because the pacing is so different. Once I switched to reading the manga though, it’s gone by so past. I think I started reading in April, and now I’m around Chapter 925. Nearly to the point where I’m caught up to the anime and I don’t have to worry about too many spoilers. Great decision, One Piece is 10/10

The holy trinity,
That was me back in 2008. It was a decade since I've stopped watching anime. Then, two of my friends started to argue which one was better: Naruto or Bleach. I watched both of them and couldn't reach a conclusion. So, I thought to myself, "Why not give a chance to One Piece"? One month and 380 episodes later, and went to friends I said: "You're both wrong. You lived a lie. One Piece is the only salvation.", and they laughed out loud.

Same, dude. It took me a few months to go from the start of the anime to the end of Arabasta, then I took a break for more than a year. One day, I decided to pick it back up and caught up in like 4 months. Once I got to Enies Lobby, I was hooked. I watched 100 episodes in some of those weeks.
i started One Piece at the beginning of quarantine. 5 months later I'm at the Zou arc (after 700+ episodes)

@@TiagoSilva-fi8lh it took me years
Saaame. In Highschool there was a friend of mine that loved Naruto, and everytime I mentioned One Piece he would complain that it's too long and he didn't want to compromise, and that the art was ugly. I changed my strategy and hyped One Piece with jokes about Ussop and Mr. 2 Bon Clay, and low and behold he binged watch that shit like no tomorrow. Fucking worth it.
When I started One Piece I didn't even think about how long it was, I just started watching it at a normal rate almost everyday (1/2 episodes before going to sleep). The time most people spend watching TV or something like that, for me (at least for more than a year) it was watching One Piece and that way of consuming it was even better because I couldn't watch more than 2 or 3 episodes every night so when there was a cliffhanger I just had to wait until the next day which hyped me up a lot. Honestly, the anime can be a little tedious and at the time I really wasn't into reading manga but luckyly there are now some places where One Piece's filler is cut from the episodes and they just upload them almost exactly as how it is in the manga.
Now I'm waiting every week for a chapter of the best work of fiction ever made, best decision in my life.
fair play you have great willpower. i can never just watch 2-3 episodes and just sleep lmao

Tbf the first few arcs are just to kinda get you settled in on how some of the world works, how Luffy is as a character, etc.

Once you get past Syrup Village it’s smooth sailing. La Baratié is when One Piece becomes One Piece
For me, it's Arlong.
Baratie and arlong were the teasers that kept me going. When I saw GOMU GOMU NO STOOOORRMMM at the end of Alabasta with that music and beautiful handrawn animation I was hooked
Arlong arc for sure
@@MajorPickleSwag That tracking shot of luffy's arm traveling through the sand is so fucking memorable
You guys got thrilled in arlong ...I was stunned by the fact this anime lietrally showed killing in 4th ep .......the symbolism was trueee high....PUT YOUR LIFE ON IT THIS THING IS NOT A TOY ....
Trash Taste: Getting into One Piece is a nightmare.
Me: _caught up to Wano Arc in 1 month_ (minus the fillers ofc)
You're a legend, Sir
how many episodes you watched in a day lol
@@zhillan135 Approximately 31 EPS assuming he only took 50 minutes of time every 24 hours for something else.
It took me an entire summer of clearing 100 episodes per week
I caught up in 2 months
I watched a couple clips about the wano arc and thought "that is fk insane i wanna read that" watched 25 episodes got bored outta my mind. Then i thought "yknow what imma catch up" and i started the manga. That was 3 months ago. Now im at chapter 650 and it's such a good series. I have no regrets
Update: I caught up, and I'm back at Skypiea because I have separation issues.
i always recommend 100% reading the manga....The pacing of the anime is so slow to me, and each chapter is so densely filled with dialogue that it's just better to read.
Of course go bacck and watch the anime for the epic fight scenes, but that's it lol
@@EduardoGarcia-zf3wo yep
@@EduardoGarcia-zf3wo dude i have a question for u why do u think people like op anime so much i mean i know different people have different taste and opinions
But if you like the mangas that is one thing but the anime have so much problems
Like op anime . Has bad pacing everyone knows that ( dresrosa one of the top arc in manga is ruined in anime thanks to the garbage pacing ) , fillers i am not talking about filler episode but biller scenes in cannon episode there are many op episodes which has 5 to 10 min of cannon content and the rest are just fillers ( dont get me wrong if these fillers/anime original is actually good or atleast ok then that's good but most of the time they are bad and makes the episode worse ) , anime recap syndrome ( there are so many episode in op where the first 5 to 7 min of episode are recap of previous episodes ) , animation i personally don't have problems with anime but many say op have a bad animation
Orange town and especially syrup village had terrible pacing issues. The show improved a lot in that aspect since then, at least way up until dressrosa from what i've heard.
I love that Joey said what we are all thinking. One Piece being too long is the worst excuse to not get into One Piece
It really is for most people. I'm really glad I gave it a chance on a whim.
They don't owe one piece anything. Some people just don't like long anime
The thing here is people dont have the privilege to watch animes multiple episodes a day. By the time you watch the 100th episode you would have forgotten almost every side characters names and other side plots. Where you could watch 12 and 24 episode animes that you would know the entire story. If I dont have a life then I would have watch long animes like Bleach, One piece, naruto etc. Many people just dont see themselves watching an anime almost a thousand episodes long.
I'm sorry but one piece is way too long for what it is. One piece is mid AF the only reason it's gone on this long is cause of Toeis need to milk the series just like they do dragon ball. One piece is the bran flakes of shonen
lol for most normal people it's a valid reason
I have been reading One Pice since I was 15…I am 38 this year…yep I have been waiting for new chapters and episodes for months at one time. I am slowly collecting the volumes.
wow, this really shows how One Piece just become a part of our lives. Part of who we are...
Do you watch the anime also?
@@DarkMuj Yes I actually have some original DVD's without the professional dub
@@KelserMcMiller thats awesome
@@Yuan0287W indeed
Started the anime June 2019, watched latest anime episode June 2020, now I'm on chapter 994, One Piece is fucking epic.
Yeah i caught up to it in a bit more than 2 months. Watched up to 657, jumped to manga and now im reading weekly
I finished all the dub eps in a half month
My god your fast
How did you do that?
@@imrjvzoldyk1694 Time to upgrade to subs
1 year? I caught up to the entirety of One Piece (manga) in 1 month and I loved it. Except Punk Hazzard because my god that arc felt like I was reading a text book.
Starting one piece was the greatest decision of my life, the only break I took was in the middle of skypea because that arc was so boring at first, in that time I took a break I watched all of bemoan slayer and Baki
The biggest argument I hear from someone about why they don't want to watch One Piece is that it's long. But like they said, One Piece is just THAT good, that you DON'T want it to end. You'll be happy that there are that many episodes. I know I am. Also, after watching all of Naruto, HunterXHunter, Bleach, and basically most long-running shounen, I love being able to stick with something for so long.
Y'all can't tell me, you've never finished an anime and been like, "what am I going to do with my life now?" or had that empty feeling after finishing an anime, and 12 episodes and even 24 episodes go quick.
Well my argument is that my friend who’s watching it currently says it gets really good in the 400’s. And it being good or not is subjective. The problem with it being almost 1000 episodes is that you don’t know when it’s going to get good for you. If it gets good for you at all. That’s the problem with it. If u like it from the get go, then great ! But if you don’t, and you are waiting and waiting and waiting for it to get good... there’s over 1000 episodes.
I had that feeling with A Place Further than the Universe. It was such a bitchslap in my face like "what the hell you're not doing anything with your life" but it's also such a feelsgood anime that really draws you in. I didn't want that to end. It was like experiencing a better reality.
I wanted that to be my life. So off with me to college to become a scientist and live among the penguins. Going on to Year 2 towards a Biology degree.
This anime really turned my life around.
But this is all to tie in that One Piece gives very similar feelings of just wanting to live on a permanent adventure with your friends, it's really fucking good and best of all it doesn't end
I also got the "what do I do now" from Parasyte. It's got a great plot with action and romance and leaves you some existentialist questions
@@freedom8163 That’s a you problem tbh, when I watched one piece the show wasn’t boring and it wasn’t super fun either until I got further in, I’d say Arlong park is when I really got into it I think, honestly it’s been like 10 years or so so I could be off but what I’m trying to say is just watch the show even if you takes you 100 years, watch an episode then watch another next week or something, watch at your own pace, it personally took me 8 years to catch up lol cause I binged like 300 episodes then stopped for 3 years then binged 200 episodes and stopped etc. One piece is still my number one anime to this day cause of the journey I’ve had with the show
@@yourdaddy8605 my point is, if you don’t like it from the first few episodes... then it’s not going to be worth 1000 episodes to figure out if u like it or not. Which is why a lot of people stray away from one piece. They don’t know how long it’ll take for them to like it, if they ever even end up liking it at all. It’s not worth watching 1000 episodes to find out if u don’t like it from the first few to 100 episodes.
I started it a week about a week ago and I am on chapter 76, I have never had such a wide smile reading a manga before
You are in for the treat of your life
So now where are you ?
@@bensalems3224I finished Alabasta and took a break because of work. I’ll try picking it back up again, thanks for the reminder.
@@ghostly-toaster3766 take your Time its not a rush lol ils just journey One piece can wait
Don't rush too much! When you catch up it's going to be hard waiting every week for content :3
He's how I've been dealing with One piece for the last 6 years:
I watch 50 episodes, and then I wait for a year to watch another 50.
That way I won't have to deal with the lack of content since each episode it's worth like 10-15 minutes.
Wouldnt it be better to just wait until an arc is done and watch all of it after that?
@@byslow4563 Some arcs are too long to wait, like Dressrosa. But believe me, there is no problem going back at all. That 3-4 minute recap at the beginning can be useful after all. hahaha
Speaking of such, it's that time of the year again.
Episode 950 is right there... *receiving shonen recap vibes*
@@xrenzo1991 I do the same 😂 except instead of every 50 eps I do like 100s of eps, not even intentionally. It’s only when I got to ep 900 that I decided to wait every 50 eps and binge watch
You my friend got a shit ton of Haki to be able to do that
When pitching One Piece, I always stress just how self-contained the arcs are. Yeah, there's an interconnectedness to every arc, but if you missed all of Skypeia you'll pick up what you missed through flashbacks no problem. And also each of them is pretty satisfying on its own. He always punches the bad guy in the face and liberates the village or whatever and it's great and they wrap it up all nice and neat.
I get what you’re saying but Oda does a lot of long term pay off. Sure you might be ok skipping skypeia but you’re gonna miss all the pay off of the details when you get to Wano
this is grossly oversimplifying the technical achievement that is oda's patience and attention to detail but i get where you're coming from. one piece arcs are self contained stories, but pay attention, and oda will rock your socks.
What about the lore, that is one of the best parts of One Piece?
I’m so happy I picked up One Poece back in September. I’ve been endless bingeing. I’m more than halfway through Dressrosa. Marineford and Enies Lobby were amazing
Ohhh dressrosa, thats the arc i stop for like 4 years hope you mannege.
yo if dressrosa becomes a drag, check out One Pace (edits the bad pacing out) or just start the manga
I've gotten into one piece on the 15th of September this year and now today I'm in episode 847. I don't regret watching one piece. It's amazing
@@builtdifferent3745 for me it was the littler farys fuckers but overall good arc
@@ivorii8205 hahaha, don't forget to breathe!
I feel like watching One Piece takes longer than reading One Piece.
No shit sherlock
@@scorpionrealms7847 No shit Shuckle
yeah thats kind of how manga works
@@scorpionrealms7847 It was just in response to what they were talking about which is longer. 🙈
In the case of One Piece there is a lot of filler to stall because the anime caught up with the manga a lot and had to wait for the manga to update.
FR
One piece is so good , it can't be described in words. Once in a lifetime experience i swear.
Yeah, and I'm afraid that some people won't be able to experience it in their life even though it could do them a lot of good.
I mean, it helped a lot of people through depression.
Yeah, and so are insanely other great animes like Akira, GTO or Berzerk.
@@spikeyslug1717 I have not read Berserk but people say it rivals One Piece manga, does it?
@@glory1950 yes one piece manga and berserk are probably the best pieces of fiction I’ve read, I can’t choose personally which one I like more they are both absolutely amazing but so different at the same time
One piece is repetitive garbage and the main character has little to no character development. Convince me otherwise
I know this is an old video, but still. I don't think it is a nightmare to get into One Piece. You start from the beginning and little by little you move your way through it. About 15-20 years ago, I mostly read manga and I never got into One Piece because back then it already had over 300 chapters. Funnily enough, after my brother wouldn't stop bugging me about One Piece I decided to finally start watching the anime this year, which now has over 1000 episodes (my mind works in mysterious ways). I only watch 3 episodes everyday because I'm watching other stuff too, but I'm already on episode 810. So yeah, it might seem daunting at first, but it's just a matter of taking the plunge and going for it. It's not complicated or nightmarish in any way.
I remember when I first saw One Piece (manga in the library), I thought the art style looked silly and wasn't into it lol
But I'm a huge fan of it now, I started watching/reading it during a really hard time in my life. I have such fond memories of staying up late with my brother in my apartment, laughing at Whitebeard's laugh. One Piece helped with getting a boyfriend (tho I'm single now), it made me bond with friends and coworkers.
For me, it's not only the story I love but the stories it's made in my life as well. Fond memories I can look back on instead of the shitty ones from before it all.
I find it crazy that I was born in 99 therefore I have LITERALLY grown and aged alongside One Piece.
Same as my sister lol
Same
Lucky I'm older than one piece but well I'm the same age as Pokemon
@@smananderson09 It's so crazy when we think about it. That moment when you're in your 20s or 30s but somehow manage to feel like an elderly person.
@@thereaper9965 tell me about when I saw that Pokemon anniversary I was like damn I'm getting old as hell
I’d recommend reading the manga, not because, “Toei bad,” but because it allows one to have a great degree of control over the pacing, especially if you’re a fast reader. It takes me about the same amount of time to read 5 volumes volume as it does to watch one episode, even at my slowest, I can still read around a volume’s worth of content in about 20 minutes. I’m not trying to flex or anything, I’m just saying if you’re like that, definitely read the manga.
Exactly, a lot of "I want to catch up to chapter xx" burn through all of it, and probably miss halve of the good stuff.
Use the Anime to enhance the Manga experience, but take your time, this show is running for 20+ years, it won't die if you need a year to catch up.
The dark side does hold strange powers. Takes me an hour average to read 1 volume of manga
Reading makes me sad. I honestly can’t read books like that at all
NO. no sound. no color. not moving. worst platform if you wanna see the action.
Heres the problem. Theres a lot of people, including myself, who suffer from Aphantasia. We have no imagination. Therefore, we cant imagine the fights as we read. Its black and white pictures. Anime is better for that reason.
One thing about one piece is when you know the story you realise ITS NOT LONG ENOUGH
Literally everyone I've seen in quarantine:
"FINE! I'LL READ/WATCH ONE PIECE. IT'LL TAKE ME A BAJILLION YEARS THOUGH!"
*3 weeks later on Episode/Chapter 300.*
"..........Why did no one tell me how fucking amazing this series is?"
I think its kinda the opposite, i hear praise of it literally everywhere, I never heard someone said one piece is bad.

A friend asked me over and over to watch it with them and I finally gave it just to make them happy...and it took 20something episodes to get into it. Once Sanji showed up, I was hooked. Up till then I didn't care at all but Sanji pulled me in and now I'm ending the Skypiea Arc and I'm INVESTED in everyone and I want to start the manga. 1015+ episodes?
