The one piece was the friends we made along the way.
And the gigantic boobs that got way bigger along the way.
Hold on a minute, I might be more interested
Lmfao that “now” photo is like 15 years old.
Try Sandmännchen instead.
Unpopular opinion: 99% of anime is garbage.
99% of all media is garbage. Anime is not special in that sense.
Yes I would call that unpopular indeed
I love anime, and this holds true. (There is lots of anime)
I tried watching one anime to see if I was wrong. Watched high school of the dead, was met with crazy bouncing boobs between a sniper rifle shot. Regretted my decision immediately. All of it screams pedophilia to me.
It’s one thing to have a cool shot, but it went on for 10+ seconds of bouncing animated tits. Just not interested in animated porn. Maybe if it was 12.
Most of One Piece is in the 1%
Two objectively wrong opinions; all anime is trash, and no anime is trash.
Woah.
And the 1% that isn’t was made before 1980.
I dunno, The Boondocks was pretty good.
There’s been great stuff since the 80s. Even some of the stuff that became popular outside of the typical anime fandoms, you have things like Cowboy Bebop, which oozes style, and the 2 FMA series that have solid storytelling and complex characters with great music and animation.
The One Piece is the friends we made along the way!
Eiichiro Oda has stated that there is a physical One Piece
Didn’t he have someone actually put a treasure somewhere in the ocean irl? I don’t follow one piece but I remember reading about this because they apparently had to have a bunch of secrecy to avoid fans risking their lives or sowmthing
alright alright, the enemies we made along the way
They’ll probably find the One Piece and break it or something
Treasure Planet ending then
There’s also supposed to be a really good joke too
I just calculated if you try catch up with all 1180 episodes today, then you need to watch for 12 hours per day without a single second of interruption for 38 days, to get to today’s most recent episode.
28 days. There’s 18 minutes pf material per episode. The rest is extremely long title sequence and recaps to pad out time.
Is there a no title sequence and recaps and bits that go on to long cut out fan edit?
I jsut scrolled down. There is. Goddamn I need to hibernate for 50 years so there’s something decent to watch when I wake up.
Look up media from 50 years ago.
Sometimes it can be nice to have a consistent ongoing side project tbh. I started one piece when it had about 800 episodes, took ages but its far from a slog, killer story all the way through.
Sometimes I binged 10 episodes straight sometimes only 3 or 4.
Caught up within 6 or so months watching everything (including fillers) until the Punk Hazard Arc.
Since then I am following the show live (more or less)
Wonder how much the One Pace series eliminates from the watch time? Lmfao I watch it when I need to catch up and it honestly helps a lot.
Last time I checked (about a year ago) it’s ~40% of the original run time.
For anyone not already aware, One Pace is a fan profect to re-edit the series to reduce runtime like overly long shots, repeating animations, and recaps. It also condenses 3-6 episodes into one hour super episodes to reduce how often the intro/outro credits run because they also take up a lot of time
I need something better than One Pace. That is still too much slog.
I need someone to edit out every into, outro and recaps, and just put every episode after one another in one continuous movie, separated by arks. I would watch that in a heartbeat.
Did you take into account effective watch time? I would exclude intro and outro… also some animes spend 3-5 minutes repeating the last 3-5 minutes from last episode (almost verbatim, super cheap imo).
Edit: according to this source, it’s between 18 and 20 minutes of actual watch time. Not bad at all.
1179 episodes, 20 min per episode, 12 hs max a day… 32,75 days
New anime speedrun tech, only watch the recaps.
Probably only one recap each 5 episodes for some animes
Edit, only watching recaps, it would be
1179 ep, 2 min per episode, 12hs max a day: 3,27 days
There was one anime where an episode ends with the protagonist barely winning a very bloody fight. I made a snap judgment “He’s probably going to need to spend an episode recovering from his injuries, so I’ll just skip one.”
I think I got it dead on and it honestly didn’t seem like I missed much. But I have no idea what that guidance should be for One Piece.

Just watch the One Pace fan edit
I’ve been watching one piece on and off during my free time. It has taken me 2 years to get to episode 470. I think this is gonna take a while…
Or read and divide that by at least 5 (chapters are 15 pages adapted individually into 25 minute episodes, the anime’s a pretty terrible adaptation for that reason)
I saw an example recently of a segment that seemed to last like 3-5 minutes in the anime, but was 4 panels in the manga. I don’t even think it was the full page. Is the anime really that bad at pacing?

Gintama explains filler
At least One Piece looks close to finishing. I’m also waiting on Case Closed and I can see that one going for another 10 years…
I thought they announced that it was ending soon-ish (current geologic age at least(.
They announced a reduction to 26 episodes a year.
They wont let it die. Look at Boruto.
Prepare for Two Piece.
In ‘5 years’.
I’ll wait for the complete series special edition once they finish Red Piece and Blue Piece.
Don’t forget Yellow Piece: Special Pikachu Edition!
Conan I don’t even think has a goal anymore. Like it started with wanting to reverse the poison, but how often is that even addressed these days? It’s just a fun way to tell crime stories now.
If I remember correctly the author even stated that they had no intent on ever finishing the story and wants to keep it alive/going for as long as possible.
naruto, bleach, one piece has been going on since the early 2000s, i assume most seasons are just fillers or slop. because animes from japan usually have an end.
Until the last decade or so, anime based on manga would run mostly weekly while trying not to overtake their source material. If the anime got too close to where the manga was, they’d do filler arcs/episodes or just stretch the material out.
On some occasions, the anime would just do something completely different from the manga. Fullmetal Alchemist is a good example. The first anime more or less matched the manga until around the Laboratory Five arc. At that point, the anime went in a completely different direction so it wouldn’t have to go on hiatus or do filler.
the anime went in a completely different direction
“We’ve had too much nuanced exploration of war crimes and religious conflict, time for magic Nazis.”
Naruto may be the exception because both series actually have an ending. Boruto was shit, however.
And he still hasn’t grown up?
I love it, but the length is certainly a hurdle. It took me years to get through the anime, and there were several points where it felt like it took multiple episodes to make even the most minor progress in the story. Still, though, the story itself is great, and it seems that recently things are back to the snappy pace that the beginning of the show used to have, at least where the dub leaves off.
I’ve recently been using one pace to watch the anime. I found that is cuts a lot of “shocked face” shots that last a unnecessarily long time and a few others
I have to give it a go. I tried to start watching over piece years (decade?) ago, back when Ace was to be executed. I started from the beginning and it was a snore fest. Decided I’ll just skip the start and watch episodes as they come out. After spending what felt like an eternity watching Luffy run on ice I just gave up on the entire series because it felt like an episode worth of story was stretched to 5 episodes.
This was my experience as well, and I was watching while playing like Minecraft or dwarf fortress or something like that and it still felt like shit was taking forever to happen.
Thanks mate, maybe I’ll finally be able to watch this show. I’ve tried and failed a few times over the decades
IMO w8 a little longer and watch “the one piece”, it’s a project that will do a “remake” of the series without the filler and with the seal of approval by the creator, made by WIT syudios
Just googled that, apparently it will release in February 2027 on Netflix. I guess I can wait a little longer
Is it simliar to Naruto Kai with how they cut all the filler?
Dunno since I’ve never seen Naruto. But, it cuts down the episode lengths and a few filler episodes so I think so?
Ah yes, the horse-walks-into-a-bar cut.
It might be long, but it’s also not great
That’s what she said
I had a friend who I saw catching up on the anime in 2023, he texted me a few months ago to say he had reached the newest episode.
I caught up FAR to fast. I was working from home. A new job, and it was right around the holidays. So no one wanted to really train me for awhile, so they gave me easy work that took no time at all. I don’t think I’ve ever binged something so hard in my life haha
If you have not started, I’d recommend waiting for “the one piece”, a remake of the anime that will be much shorter, it will probably be a much more reasonable commitment to see it. It should start airing in february 2027.
For an even quicker speedrun, LEGO One Piece comes out on Tuesday.
That’s my plan also. I wish they did that with all shounen, streamlined, no fillers, consistent animation. I’d pay for a Naruto like that.
That would be nice, Bleach too
AFAIK it’s going to be at the same-ish pace as the live action version
Ooo. Thank you. I think I’ll do just that. Wait until it starts in February.
Didn’t they get the One Piece and just find out it’s actually just one piece (1/8th) of the real McGuffin they thought they were looking for?
At that rate, we’ll have the full 8/8 “Whole” in around 2230. Even the cut back version would be 1000 episodea.
I was up to date on One Piece ….in 2015….
Don’t even want to know how far behind I am nowThat was near the start of Dressrosa, which was a pretty long arc with a lot of fight episodes that seemed to just be the same back and forth stalemate over and over again. It’s unfortunately just a few arcs before the Wano arc that does the same thing to an even greater extent, unfortunately. The filler was already starting to wear on me by that point, but those 2 arcs took it to an extreme. Luckily, it seems that the creator has realized this as well, and the arc after Wano is a nice quick pace with plenty of stuff going on.
Good to know. I do remember dropping it because it felt like I could watch 10 episodes and nothing happened. And sometimes I would just scrub through an episode to see if it’s still the same fight and pretty much just skip it.
When they weren’t fighting for 20 episodes at a time it was a fun show, but ehh idk if I’ll ever get back into it
Yeah, that definitely became the creator’s favorite way to stretch things out. The Wano arc had one big fight toward the end that went on for around 80 episodes… There were several different people fighting in different locations, but it was still way too long. I haven’t seen the “One Pace” edit that someone else brought up in this thread, but it sounds like it cut out a lot of that unnecessary filler.
Halfway there
i was following one piece up until 2013 manga only. started watching the anime couple years ago and still hasnt catched up until now
I’m guessing there’s good jumping on and off points for these types of shows. Like, if you don’t want to watch 1000 episodes, start on episode X and watch till episode Y to get a good complete(ish) story.
One piece is best experienced starting from episode 1. If you don’t want to watch over 1000 episodes the manga will always be an option.
Definitely. The “seasons” of the show are setup as story arcs.
Are there seasons? One piece IMDB page shows 1201 episodes in season 1
Edit: Serializd app shows actual seasons. Maybe I’ll check out a well rated one.
I’ve seen a bit of it but I vaguely remember it having very weird looking character art.
bro just watch one season of the anime
