I never get tired to tell that this show saved my life. 21 years ago had a major depression wanting to die. But then I saw the Arlong Arc with Nami's backstory. Her history roused me out of my mindset with tunnel vision. "I am not the only person in black despair." I realized. There was a character I can understand and maybe she could understand my behavior. Nobody was there for me in the real world. It helped me to regain will to live and sense. One Piece's feelings reached me first of all. Anime in general is up to now my best psychotherapy I've ever had. Is One Piece the best show I've ever seen? Not at all but it always will have a special place in my heart. This show has everything I could wish for: Adventure, comedy, drama, emotion, politics, history. The story structure itself is a treasure box. There are some plots and arcs I don't like but in general it is great. Even if I loose interest for some time I come back at some point.
I feel you, brother. I discovered One Piece during the Pandemic. I lost my job in June of 2020. I had been looking to study under my director to learn rehab directing (I was an ordinary therapist at the time), and my wife and I were trying to save up for a house. I was convinced that losing my job had lost the house and my possibility of career advancement. I wanted to be a director really badly, and I thought that dream was gone. I then heard Luffy say “I decided a long time ago that I was gonna be the King of the Pirates, and if I die fighting for that, then I die.” It shook me. I decided I was gonna be a rehab director, and if I died fighting for it, then I die. It’s 2 and 1/2 years later now, and I have my director job and we got our house. 🙂
I relate to this so much. I have had severe depression for more than three years and I ended up watching this entire show in one month at the recommendation of a friend. Seeing characters you’ve grown attached to not being willing to give up gives you a sense of inspiration to do the same. I have to say if everything I’ve ever watched, I have never loved something and felt so attached to something as One Piece.
A couple chapters ago, 3 I believe, One Piece entered his Final Saga and Oda estimated that he could wrap up the story in the next 3 years, this Sunday chapter 1060 is going to be released and to put this simply, you can watch 1000 ep worth of other anime or read 1060 chapters worth of another manga and all those stories combined would not come close to the dept or enjoyment one has after learning One Piece's story, it really is something else.
3 years equates to less than 120 chapters. Personally I'd estimate the end of the series by chapters rather than years. I expect at least another 300 chapters if not more. Personally I think it'll end around 1400 - 1500 chapters, but it depends on how quickly the story moves going forward
Luffy’s charismatic personality drew me in first…then slowly the other characters. The plot, as it develops, keeps you scratching your head and saying, “huh?” The way Oda Sensei weaves things together is genius.
The thing you must understand about one piece is it is an anarchist absurdist anthem… a magnum opus to authentic life in the tradition of absurdists like Camus … being a pirate in one piece is different than your old school pirate tale we are used to in the western media… a pirate is someone who owns themselves… god, government, laws, traditions, bullies, crime families none of these things get in the way of you living exactly how you feel in your soul… Luffy tells us in the first scene when we meet him “he will either become the king of the pirates or die” no accepting a mediocre life that you don’t want! A pirate is shown to take many forms but it’s someone that treads against the grain in all kinds of way and do not let excuses stop them from trying. Luffy literally goes into the sky and punches god in the face knocking him down to earth, senor pink owns that baby bonnet he does not give a fuck what anyone thinks and that’s why he is a true pirate! none of the tough guy norms of others matters to him! that baby bonnet and his life lived in the honor of his dead family and is what he sees as true manhood not giving a fuck what anyone else has to say or think about it … he and all pirates set out into the sea of the unknown without borders and make their own life not giving a fuck what the law or norms of their home island tell them. This is adventure! One piece has so many islands and characters because it’s a device to explore all of the ways one can live. They arrive at a new island and they have a totally different set of norms and circumstances socially, economically, politically, genetically, different standards of peace and violence, standards of freedom and slavery. Every subject is explored and turned on its head to look at what is an authentic life from hundreds of contexts! Then with all of that it’s a huge mystery that continues to get more complex instead of solved today I read chapter 1060 and I have no idea what the one piece is and their are more layers of mystery than chapter 1059! You can tell I am a fan
the problem with one piece isn't knowing when to start. it's knowing when to stop. one piece is an addiction. once you start, you have to force yourself to take a break because you wanna keep reading and seeing what happens next.
Would love to see the follow up video. “Why you should watch/read One Piece” by super eyepatch wolf. As for what pulled me in, it was that adventure and exploration aspect. Seeing what new mysteries lay in the the world and how intricately everything changes.
One piece is enjoyable from the start then at Arlong park (around ep 30) you get a good first taste of what is in store later on. Then the Alabasta saga (ep 60 ish to 110) will Bring a completely new scale to the level of conflicts in the story thus far. The next arc after this is a fantastic adventure with a bit of a lighter tone. Then Oda will Flex his writing skills in Enies lobby(ep 300 ish) to create one of the greatest moments in literature. When you get to this point in the story you will completely understand why One Piece is coveted as the one of the greatest stories ever told. P.S. I'm a anime only fan, so I only know ep approximations, I'd recommend reading the manga but going back to watch certain scenes in the anime, I've watched both dub and sub and both are great. The Dub hits harder for me since its where I started and hearing certain things in a language you understand just hits different.
You are completely right. I’ve been reading the manga for four years now I think, and started with the anime. I recommend reading the manga to keep up, but watching the deep/emotional scenes in the anime , and also the fight scenes. Both are so much better in the anime because of the music, theme and animation.
personally I say Romance Dawn is a nice start, Orange Town gives a small glimpse at what One Piece is, Syrup Village is pretty meh, Baratie is when things pick back up, Arlong Park is the true first glimpse at what One Piece truly is, then things calm down a bit till Alabasta where things really pick back up and then Enies Lobby, Marineford, Dressrosa, Wholecake Island and Wano are all peak One Piece
Senor Pink is the kind of guy who you want to avoid simply because of his look. But then his backstory made me want to leave my family in order to follow him at all costs And yes, Oda Sensei is insanely badass. He keeps me watching a single anime for 20 years straight without feeling bored at all
I was 13 when I got into One Piece - and that's closer to 20 years ago than 10 - and initially it was mostly curiosity, because an older friend was reading it and I had never even heard about manga before lol. For that me, it was the pirate imagery, but also the character of Usopp, who's the sorta normie, average dude of the crew. He had - and still has - a lot of traits I identify with. I dropped it for a while because school but then I picked it up again some years later and at that point, what drew me in was the story, the characters, and the world. Pirates are cool, man. And at that point I had started learning to appreciate stuff like political intrigue and centuries old mystery that looms in the background. I've taken a few breaks over the years (mostly because of school lol), but I'm fully caught up in the story and it's one of those stories that just sticks with you. I cry rereading certain parts, I get excited when I notice foreshadowing for stuff that hadn't been revealed at my last reread. Sure, it has parts that are a bit meh or even yikes because it is aimed at teenage boys + cultural differences, but as a whole, I enjoy the story, the world, and the characters that populate it. It has comedy and tragedy and mysteries... not really a lot of romance but I'm personally fine with that. It's an adventure, and it doesn't forget that.
It’s funny. Senior pinks backstory is probably my favourite moment in one piece . Or at least one I will show people when trying to justify that the series is serious. I didn’t know supereyepatchwolf held that moment in such a high regard too
I can totally understand not fully believing a show as long-running as One Piece is as deep and involved as it is. After all, most shows that are this long-running ate usually that way because they're formulaic and episodic with little to no plot progression (such as The Simpsons or Detective Conan). It is VERY rare to find a story that is this long and has a constantly progressing plot that is still able to keep things interesting and maintain a high level of quality. So no, you're probably in the right for being skeptical about how deep or complex One Piece is or actually could be. I guess the best way to describe it is that One Piece is indeed very simple, in that the story being told at any given time and the action going on in the moment is rather straight-forward and easy to understand and follow. However, Oda has a way of being able to layer those story threads upon each other gradually and in a way that they all fit and mesh so incredibly well. And because he is constantly going back and involving past events and characters, the simple stories that have already been told don't dissappear and get forgotten but remain relevant, which just adds to the growing saga that just grows by adding more simple threads gradually over time. And when we do get a call-back to something that already happened, the reaction usually isn't "huh? what the hell is that?" but instead "Holy Hell, THAT'S connected to THIS?!?" And that's largely because past stories are told so we'll and completely that they resonate and stick with you, and thus have all the more impact when they are reintroduced into the story. This style of storytelling, of layering simple threads into a complex tapestry, can really only be told through a story that is this long and requires a LOT of both meticulous planning and great creativity to make things LOOK like they were meticulously planned when sometimes they weren't. And Oda is the kind of insane genius that's able to do it.
I think it's the bonds between the characters and the convictions that they have to achieve their ambitions that drew me into and keeps me reading/watching onepiece years after I was introduced to it. The main crew are all wildly different people with different goals and life experiences, but they're family, and close in a way that is almost difficult to imagine. That kind of relationship and sharing your views and the good and bad of life draws you in, and makes you feel like a part of something massive. Especially in how it feels like it connects you to other fans across the world. The free-spirited nature and the fact that pirates don't give a fuck about what the status quo is, is also really inspiring in a way? The fact that being yourself and fulfilling your own ambitions is enough is something that I really connected to. Onepiece is an adventure that I'm glad i get to ride along with, and I look forwards to everything that's coming up as we hit the endgame.
The characters are definitely very visually unique, but the women are all either shaped like a boulder, a heavily exaggerated hourglass, or a squat old person lol. Also, Arlong Park is definitely a good benchmark. It’s about 45 episodes in, which is normally a lot to ask someone to watch before they decide. Thing is, this series was meant to be hella long from the start and the first 100 eps are more or less a prologue for everything else to come. By AP, you get most of the crew for the early series and you get an idea for how Oda structures and creates his world. You’ll get a good sense of the action, emotion, and comedy styles you can expect from it too. If it hasn’t hooked you by then, it’s unlikely to change beyond that point.
Also aside from my other comment, you definitely need to check out the video that was mentioned during this one "why you should watch/read one piece" it's an even better video that really deep dives into why one piece is so impactful and so powerful as a series, it's an absolute must watch!
Honestly what got me interested was seeing a Facebook video of Luffy fighting a certain doughnut lover. That ON TOP of just knowing that this has been around from my childhood and is STILL just as popular if not more.
I love that the world is always moving. One of my favorite examples is how in the first chapter you’re introduced to Coby, a useless kid that in any other anime would be a one off character. Some 500 chapters later, he shows up again, this time grown into a teen and making his own dream come true. This nobody is a somebody to oda. And he’s not the only one, there loads of characters that you meet multiple times throughout the series. Old enemies, and friends, one chapter they are laughing with the crew and a few chapters later they are pitted against them. All these lives carefully interwoven that really make you realize that you are watching a whole world unfold.
When getting into one piece people fear it's lenght, they look at the total number of chapters and say "I'll never catch up" or "it's too long" Thing is, it doesn't matter when you catch up, it's about the journey not the destination, it's not about being up to date, take it at your own pace and don't feel like you have to read it for others, read it when you feel like it, and you'll enjoy it that much more. I watched the anime for a long time but I shifted to the manga about 600+ episodes in, and I assure you it's a much more pleasant experience, One Piece is a joy to read volume to volume, and honestly reading it chapter to chapter isn't AS good, it's still amazing, but it's made to be read in bulk, and that is one of the best parts of being new, you get to digest as much content as you want at your own pace, if you truly like it, you'll find yourself flying through chapters. At the end of the day, if it's not for you, that's fine, even the most popular of series are not for everyone (ex: Bleach, has a lot of die hard fans, I kinda like it but nowhere near as much as some others do)
Id just watch the anime, unless of course you like reading. I watched it all in a little over a year and loved every single second. The pacing can be pretty slow on a few arcs but the majority moves at a good pace. There is almost no filler in One Piece so I don't know why he mentions this. It's like 1% filler compared to the 99% story. And even the filler is incredibly fun to watch and can be somewhat important for the story later on down the road. There's really nothing wrong with the anime besides some slow points in the story. It's a fantastic watch, I highly recommend!
I started watching One Piece back in 2003 so it wasn't this massively long series it was just one of the big three titles. I do remember having problems convincing others to watch it even back then for sometimes strange reasoning...like several people who were caught up with the other big three, Bleach and Naruto, but just wouldn't start One Piece for whatever reasons. It is very much worth watching or reading. Yeah the anime has some issues but it turns a 9 out of 10 story onto an 8 out if 10 story.
I tried to get into One Piece a few times but where it really clicked for me was Drum Island. So many moments of OP can be perfectly distilled down to a single line of dialogue(ask any OP fan about how they feel about the phrase "nothing happened"). Anyway, I watched the Drum island arc for the first time over a decade ago and to this day whenever I remember the phase "When do you think people die?" I will full on ugly cry. This silly pirate manga has given me countless laughs, but when it makes you cry; OP is truly something special.
I have a whole playlist of one piece discussion and this video is one of the 4 videos at the start of it because I absolutely love and agree with it This whole story and all the stories in it as well as all the creativity is done by one man and his desire to make a story that he himself would love to read ❤️
One Piece manga is by far one of the best not only among manga but among of all kinds of fiction. One Piece is not only achieving in terms of entertainment aspect but also in the technical aspect of writing a story. The worldbuilding and lore, the unique art, individualities of the already well-written characters (both the leads and side characters), fore shading, the concepts relating the world's sociopolitical issues etc. Also those small details which were like insignificant in earlier chapters but would turn into a big plot surprise and twist after hundreds of chapters that would make you speechless like "wtf?!" and you would realize that everything actually makes sense.
Yeah, Oda had approached Luffy's voice actress expressing his concerns about the voice actors ages and everyone getting older and about winding the series down to the end. or so I was told
Haha thank you so much! The reactions stop just before loguetown, but don't worry I'm still watching and making content on one piece, I'm just doing the rest a different way :D
@@doxyanime thx for the reply! yeah I imagine it’s difficult to make hundreds of videos in order to react to all the episodes, while ALSO having fun doing it. so definitely enjoy it at your own pace! I am completely caught up and eagerly waiting for new chapters and anime every week, and I love to relive the journey by watching people react. Have fun bro, hope you enjoy it enough to see it to the end because it seriously just gets better and better
@@brandonotten9501 thank you so so much, i really appreciate your understanding! copyright is a pain in the booty and it was causing me all sorts of issues, which slowed down the content. Also dont worry, i'm 600 episodes deep now, no point stopping haha! plus i'm really enjoying it
Baron Omatsuri was one heck of a movie. And, long story short, what makes OP so great is 100% THE CHARACTERS and their individual stories as they grow and change and power up, of course 😉
I can honestly say that One Piece is huge. The story starts "slow", but evolves fast. The information is given in a way that is coherent to the evolution of the characters and at the same time shows glimpses of what they need to reach. The world-building is awesome, from the start. The most coherent seen from a manga as long as this one.
I'll tell you what when I first met my wife she hadn't watched hardly any movies and the only shows she would watch were like murder mystery shows like NCIS and like reality TV and somehow now she is caught up with me on chapter 1061 of one piece. It's definitely a series that will grab you if you get into it
Trust me when I say that, while long, it is not as bad as you might think to get through the manga. I took a long break from the series and was behind by over 200 chapters. I got through the vast majority of what I had to catch up on in one sleepless night, I was that gripped by it. What really pulled me into the series was the characters, and the world, themes, and mysteries have only compounded the love I had for the series. The Strawhat Pirates embody what it means to be a found family in a way that very few casts manage across every artistic medium. A lot of that is simply by virtue of how much time we get to see them spend together. I'll tell you this: No matter how much One Piece's extreme length seems like a detriment or a barrier to entry, by the time you're invested in the crew and the world they inhabit, by the time you're caught up, you'll feel like it isn't long enough.
You sound like he needs to read it all. I disagree. I think he can stop at episode 53 (end of first saga) or episode 130 (end of second saga) and it would still be worth the watch. The answer to 'I can't read 800 chapters' is not '800 chapters is not that many actually' but 'then stop at chapter 50'.
L'appel de l'Aventure n'a pas de frontière! Stop watch stuff about One Piece my friend, and just start watch One Piece, you don't know how lucky you are to be able to discover this story. We'll be here, even from France ;)
everytime i hear someone say "i cant read/watch that many chapters/episodes its way to much" the only thing i think is "if you watch/read it you will get to a point where its not enough"
For that movie that was recommended, great though it is, it also gets some cahracters' personalities off. Some fans theorize it could have been due to pollen from 'flowey' influencing their minds, but that's just a theory.
would u try reacting to this "One Piece AMV/ASMV - THE CREW WORTHY OF A KING [FULL HD]" or "Roronoa Zoro Tribute - THE AWAKENING OF AN ORDINARY MAN [One Piece AMV/ASMV"
yeah someone else mentioned this to me, but its weird because 99% of people have told me to not watch the anime because its mostly filler, so i'm really confused haha
@@doxyanime if there is only 95 filler episodes out of 1035 episodes that makes up only 9% of the show. On the other hand Naruto and Naruto shippuden have 720 episodes combined with a total 295 of them being filler
@@doxyanime Yeah, not sure what they're on. If taking into consideration that a decent amount of the filler is entertaining and good to watch. I'd put the filler rate at around 7%.
@@doxyanime actually main issue with anime is pacing. Normal anime take 2-3 manga chapters to make 1 episode, but for one piece it takes only 1 chapter per episode which make them stretch the episode and pacing feels very slow. Fillers in one piece are mostly decent or even good, if you are first time watcher you wouldn't even realise those scene were filler.
You should check out “One Pace” - is a fan-edited version of the anime that cuts all the fluff and filler out so you get a more streamlined version of the anime that’s closer to the manga. It’s the best way to watch One Piece!
Why no one talks about the emotional moments is beyond me. That's the op notch eveybody agrees on. - Also, I don't think it's about what type of genre you like. It's all about the author Eiichiro Oda. It could be sci-fi, romance, westerner or whatever. I don't care if it's pirates or fantasy or whatever, really. I would read or watch anything this dude makes.
Reading the manga feel like too much, but is not. U can easily read like 3 or 4 chapters un 15 minutes. And sometimes u just... Cant stop reading. I read all the chapters, reading them to my lil bro in less than a year, reading a few every day. And never was a chore
The appeal for me is that you can take breaks and come back to the show because it literally never ends. It's so complex but it tells you the story so well that you can jump right back in.
Along park is "the" point for the series if you don't enjoy it but then, you won't. The World building, and the fact that Luffy is only thr main character of his story, not the world's story. If the Strawhats didn't exist, the world would go on and be interesting in and of itself. And MANY of the characters could be the protagonist of a completely different story all in this same world. I've been reading weekly for.... 6- 7 years now and I still wait every week for that chapter to drop like a kid on Christmas morning.
One of the things I want to point out though: I REALLY enjoyed MOST of the filler from the anime. Judging from comments on Crunchyroll and UA-cam, it seems there's only 1 real reason why people dislike the filler: It's not part of the original manga story. Like, the filler is actually good? And why shouldn't it? It's usually just a mini-arc of the Strawhat Pirates getting on an island they did not plan to get to. It fits in the story, it's a simple "break" and it actually makes sense: not every island must have a corrupt leader for them to stop.
Of reactors like yourself who were worried about going into it because of it's length, most of them I've seen have carried on after Arlong Park without any issue. in fact, most seem invested after about 5 episodes. XD A lot of fans will say "oh, it gets better here or here" but really, it's good eating from the very start. It just... gets better as it goes. And yes, it has its slow bits but it amps back up again not long after. There's really no story quite like it.
One Piece each chapter since chapter 1 for me is so hype.. until these days (1000+) I always recommend the manga.. the original from Oda always hits different then watching the anime.
Start from the first chapter or episode 1 of One Piece anime. There are anime where you can skip 4-5 arcs and still feel like nothing is missed out e.g. Dragon Ball. You can watch Dragon Ball Z without Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Super without the formers. For One Piece, it's the build up arc after arc, progression after progression. Missing one canon arc can be detrimental as a whole. There are hints, layers being implanted and only after looking back, you will realised what the author have done. He sneaky by the way. Oda's a teaser, long game story teller and the satisfaction is guaranteed. Just like any human, we all do have bad days, not so good moments. This applies to him as well but I can guarantee that 95% of the time, he delivered. The 5% is your opinion, perspective, things that are yet to be shown and his teasing. Good tease.
In case of the anime. There is absolutely NO exception in the way that it should be watched and it is exactly like the manga. Episode 1. Fat period. No shortcuts no movies before hand. Episode One! (for One Piece)
@@doxyanime you are in for a lifetime adventure my friend. Your videos are great, keep it up. As for your newfound journey: I will be waiting for you in the land of Wano!
Life is short and it's a long/beautiful story that your missing out on. Get off the fence and full send. I've consumed many stories over the course of my life (36 years) and One Piece has left a permanent mark on my mind. I have no regrets. Why do I like it? There's just too much to say. Find out for yourself why you love or dislike One Piece. Only you can derive your own meaning or satisfaction from a story. Of course it helps to get opinions from others, but set out on you're own journey, make your own decisions. Don't rely on hype or the mob to determine what has value in stories or entertainment. Those are my thoughts after watching your video. Also, being the geek that I am I consume theory/hype videos from various different youtubers that have added depth/sense of community to the experience of One Piece. Ohara, Grand Line Review, BDA Law to name a few. As well as conversations with people I meet. It's been an awesome experience so far. It's given me some pep to my step so to speak. Very much worth it in my opinion.
The massive length of One Piece should be irrelevant to the question whether to watch it. The series is one long adventure. So you can stop at any point without detracting from the value of what you have watched. Even if the series had ended at 130 episodes (the end of the second saga), I would still recommend it. Personally, I would recommend it even if you knew in advance that you would have to stop at episode 53 (the end of the first saga). Also the answer 'start at chapter 1' to the 'question where to start?' actually sounds quite good because the first chapter is both enjoyable and gives a good first impression of what the series is like. I disagree that you should check out the manga. Both the anime and manga are good options, as long as you skip filler (the first filler episodes are episodes 54-60) and switch to the manga around episode 320 or roughly around episode 500.
One Piece does have an absurd length, but if you sit down and give it a chance, you may not be able to put it down. When I was in graduate school, I binged the first 200 episodes (which is about all their was at the time) in a week instead of doing the studying and work I was supposed to be doing 😅 So that's become my pattern. I binge 200 episodes at a time, though I can't do it in a week these days, and I probably can't binge at all now. I've got to watch 300-400 at this point to catch up.
Oh damn. So you still have like the 2nd half of Dressrosa , Zoe, Whole Cake Island, and Wano arc to get through. I'll say this, they are spoiling us with the movie quality episodes lately
Give it to episode 44, the end of Arlong Park. If you’re not hooked on the story.... Nvm you just said it 😂 If it’s not for you then it’s not for you by then.
I didn't miss a thing? You may be surprised but it's not a great video if I sit silently for the whole thing and just fakely make faces that make no sense is it
@@doxyanime ignorant, you could’ve paused and actually listened to what the dude was saying instead of catching a few words here and there, no bap you missed plenty.
And when I pause it, I get massacred for consistently pausing. That's not ignorance, it's making my video the way I wanted it made, and the way people said would work better. If you had watched the video I spoke very little, and you are in no position to tell me or anyone what I can or can't hear. I heard EVERYTHING.
Tbh it really shouldn't take too much to get you into the show by episode 4 I'm sure you'll love it. You just gotta start sometime and once you do you'll probably want to binge it.
def watch it rather than read if you dont mind a slower pacing. it has barely any fillers and they are all enjoyable, i skip the ones that are mid arc (usually 1-3 ep) but i watch them later on but if its in between arcs theres no reasons to jump, they are great. i like to watch for the singing n character laughs as well as the animation and music, the fights are way more enjoyable too animated than just reading but thats my personal preference. i find watching easier to digest and you catch a lot more detail (often important stuff) when watching
If you want to read the manga, your best bet is to get a Viz/Shonen Jump subscription and read it digitally. The subscription is dirt cheap, all of the One Piece chapters are available, and you can read a bunch of chapters a day.
I'm searching the one piece movie or filler which corresponds to the fight scene at 15 minutes (it lasts only 4 seconds). It's been a quite long time that I want to see this fight (more than 4 or 5 years after seeing an amv and I couldn't find the amv again). If someone knows the moment please write it in a respond to that message. Thank you
Whether you watch manga or anime, it isn't a mistake. The anime suffers from 'a weak production run', but that doesn't mean all of it is trash. Sure, the first SD era episodes look outdated, but at the same time, they were well directed and animated for their time. The quality improves. The soundtrack completes the immersion and the voice actors are ones that complete the characters; some characters were in fact created with specific voice actors in mind! I think episode 450-750 can roughly be described as the 'weak production run' bit where Toei had chosen to take away too many of the good artists and directors for their other shows like PreCure and just let it languish because One Piece had become too popular to fail. I'd recommend just watching anime for as long as you can enjoy it; there is definitely added value in its existence, especially as a gateway drug.
the only thing i dont agree with is the fact that he said there is alot of filler which is just not true there is 93 episodes of filler in all 1013 episodes of one piece which if you compare to something like naruto including shippuden there is 720 episodes and 296 of them are filler so in comparisson there is barely any filler in one piece
@Doctor Doxy I have deleted my comment as it was a malicious assumption (I still hold a lot of UA-camrs in contempt though) and I'd like to apologise for offending you, at the end of the day I'm happy that you have indeed started the series it's a win-win for everyone. I've also subscribed to the channel if it helps.
My friend it's okay! I completely understand your points because they're valid! A lot of people on this platform, or others for that matter, are very good at saying a lot of BS. So I hold no grudges, happy to have you as a sub that means a whole lot! Also no need to apologise, although fully accepted
one piece rn is at episode 1034 and the manga is at chapter 1061 the manga is in its final saga and oda wants to end one piece within the next 5 years but we know it probably wont be finished for another 7 years lmao
One Piece has actually taken the number one spot from Superman. Absolutely insane. Edit: My mistake. OP has passed Superman in lifetime sales but will likely pass in comic sales in the next few years.
Anime is the best way to get in to one piece... Yeah it's very slow paced but there are no fillers or small amount like 9% so watching anime is the best way

I never get tired to tell that this show saved my life. 21 years ago had a major depression wanting to die. But then I saw the Arlong Arc with Nami's backstory. Her history roused me out of my mindset with tunnel vision. "I am not the only person in black despair." I realized. There was a character I can understand and maybe she could understand my behavior. Nobody was there for me in the real world. It helped me to regain will to live and sense. One Piece's feelings reached me first of all. Anime in general is up to now my best psychotherapy I've ever had. Is One Piece the best show I've ever seen? Not at all but it always will have a special place in my heart. This show has everything I could wish for: Adventure, comedy, drama, emotion, politics, history. The story structure itself is a treasure box. There are some plots and arcs I don't like but in general it is great. Even if I loose interest for some time I come back at some point.
Keep sailing see you out on the Sea my friend.
I feel you, brother. I discovered One Piece during the Pandemic. I lost my job in June of 2020. I had been looking to study under my director to learn rehab directing (I was an ordinary therapist at the time), and my wife and I were trying to save up for a house. I was convinced that losing my job had lost the house and my possibility of career advancement. I wanted to be a director really badly, and I thought that dream was gone. I then heard Luffy say “I decided a long time ago that I was gonna be the King of the Pirates, and if I die fighting for that, then I die.” It shook me. I decided I was gonna be a rehab director, and if I died fighting for it, then I die. It’s 2 and 1/2 years later now, and I have my director job and we got our house. 🙂
@@tbhgodrick6120 good job my friend
Sure changed my life after witnessing Enies Lobby 12 years ago
I relate to this so much. I have had severe depression for more than three years and I ended up watching this entire show in one month at the recommendation of a friend. Seeing characters you’ve grown attached to not being willing to give up gives you a sense of inspiration to do the same. I have to say if everything I’ve ever watched, I have never loved something and felt so attached to something as One Piece.
A couple chapters ago, 3 I believe, One Piece entered his Final Saga and Oda estimated that he could wrap up the story in the next 3 years, this Sunday chapter 1060 is going to be released and to put this simply, you can watch 1000 ep worth of other anime or read 1060 chapters worth of another manga and all those stories combined would not come close to the dept or enjoyment one has after learning One Piece's story, it really is something else.
I think it'll be closer to 5. He said wano would be 3 yrs and it turned into 5
Can't wait
@@happinessismychemical667 we all know that whenever Oda makes a time frame prediction or statement that it is almost NEVER what he says in actuality.
3 years equates to less than 120 chapters. Personally I'd estimate the end of the series by chapters rather than years. I expect at least another 300 chapters if not more. Personally I think it'll end around 1400 - 1500 chapters, but it depends on how quickly the story moves going forward
@@jeffreymeehan3567 but this is the closest it's ever been. His original story was mapped out to last 5 years. I can't believe it's gonna end soon
Luffy’s charismatic personality drew me in first…then slowly the other characters. The plot, as it develops, keeps you scratching your head and saying, “huh?” The way Oda Sensei weaves things together is genius.
The thing you must understand about one piece is it is an anarchist absurdist anthem… a magnum opus to authentic life in the tradition of absurdists like Camus … being a pirate in one piece is different than your old school pirate tale we are used to in the western media… a pirate is someone who owns themselves… god, government, laws, traditions, bullies, crime families none of these things get in the way of you living exactly how you feel in your soul… Luffy tells us in the first scene when we meet him “he will either become the king of the pirates or die” no accepting a mediocre life that you don’t want! A pirate is shown to take many forms but it’s someone that treads against the grain in all kinds of way and do not let excuses stop them from trying. Luffy literally goes into the sky and punches god in the face knocking him down to earth, senor pink owns that baby bonnet he does not give a fuck what anyone thinks and that’s why he is a true pirate! none of the tough guy norms of others matters to him! that baby bonnet and his life lived in the honor of his dead family and is what he sees as true manhood not giving a fuck what anyone else has to say or think about it … he and all pirates set out into the sea of the unknown without borders and make their own life not giving a fuck what the law or norms of their home island tell them. This is adventure! One piece has so many islands and characters because it’s a device to explore all of the ways one can live. They arrive at a new island and they have a totally different set of norms and circumstances socially, economically, politically, genetically, different standards of peace and violence, standards of freedom and slavery. Every subject is explored and turned on its head to look at what is an authentic life from hundreds of contexts! Then with all of that it’s a huge mystery that continues to get more complex instead of solved today I read chapter 1060 and I have no idea what the one piece is and their are more layers of mystery than chapter 1059! You can tell I am a fan
the problem with one piece isn't knowing when to start. it's knowing when to stop.
one piece is an addiction. once you start, you have to force yourself to take a break because you wanna keep reading and seeing what happens next.
Would love to see the follow up video. “Why you should watch/read One Piece” by super eyepatch wolf.
As for what pulled me in, it was that adventure and exploration aspect. Seeing what new mysteries lay in the the world and how intricately everything changes.
👍😁👍 yes
Why you should watch/read one piece by super eyepatch wolf
🙏🙏🙏
One piece is enjoyable from the start then at Arlong park (around ep 30) you get a good first taste of what is in store later on. Then the Alabasta saga (ep 60 ish to 110) will Bring a completely new scale to the level of conflicts in the story thus far. The next arc after this is a fantastic adventure with a bit of a lighter tone. Then Oda will Flex his writing skills in Enies lobby(ep 300 ish) to create one of the greatest moments in literature. When you get to this point in the story you will completely understand why One Piece is coveted as the one of the greatest stories ever told.
P.S. I'm a anime only fan, so I only know ep approximations, I'd recommend reading the manga but going back to watch certain scenes in the anime, I've watched both dub and sub and both are great. The Dub hits harder for me since its where I started and hearing certain things in a language you understand just hits different.
Baroque Works saga: Episode 61-130
You are completely right. I’ve been reading the manga for four years now I think, and started with the anime.
I recommend reading the manga to keep up, but watching the deep/emotional scenes in the anime , and also the fight scenes. Both are so much better in the anime because of the music, theme and animation.
personally I say Romance Dawn is a nice start, Orange Town gives a small glimpse at what One Piece is, Syrup Village is pretty meh, Baratie is when things pick back up, Arlong Park is the true first glimpse at what One Piece truly is, then things calm down a bit till Alabasta where things really pick back up and then Enies Lobby, Marineford, Dressrosa, Wholecake Island and Wano are all peak One Piece
Yeah, so uh - it's very likely that TobyFox, the creator of Undertale, had seen One Piece movie 6 before he started on Undertale.
The hardest thing when it comes to this show is starting it, Once you do the hardest thing becomes dropping it 💀
Senor Pink is the kind of guy who you want to avoid simply because of his look. But then his backstory made me want to leave my family in order to follow him at all costs
And yes, Oda Sensei is insanely badass. He keeps me watching a single anime for 20 years straight without feeling bored at all
I was 13 when I got into One Piece - and that's closer to 20 years ago than 10 - and initially it was mostly curiosity, because an older friend was reading it and I had never even heard about manga before lol. For that me, it was the pirate imagery, but also the character of Usopp, who's the sorta normie, average dude of the crew. He had - and still has - a lot of traits I identify with. I dropped it for a while because school but then I picked it up again some years later and at that point, what drew me in was the story, the characters, and the world.
Pirates are cool, man. And at that point I had started learning to appreciate stuff like political intrigue and centuries old mystery that looms in the background.
I've taken a few breaks over the years (mostly because of school lol), but I'm fully caught up in the story and it's one of those stories that just sticks with you. I cry rereading certain parts, I get excited when I notice foreshadowing for stuff that hadn't been revealed at my last reread. Sure, it has parts that are a bit meh or even yikes because it is aimed at teenage boys + cultural differences, but as a whole, I enjoy the story, the world, and the characters that populate it. It has comedy and tragedy and mysteries... not really a lot of romance but I'm personally fine with that. It's an adventure, and it doesn't forget that.
I remember watching Luffy pop out the barrel when I was 9. Been following it my whole life
It’s funny. Senior pinks backstory is probably my favourite moment in one piece . Or at least one I will show people when trying to justify that the series is serious.
I didn’t know supereyepatchwolf held that moment in such a high regard too
Yeah no there's now 1032 episode and like 1050+ chapters
1060 chapter as of Sept.16,2022...It's a hype chapter.
and to think that super eyepatch wolf's video is super old but still it's not considered outdated or anything.
I can totally understand not fully believing a show as long-running as One Piece is as deep and involved as it is. After all, most shows that are this long-running ate usually that way because they're formulaic and episodic with little to no plot progression (such as The Simpsons or Detective Conan). It is VERY rare to find a story that is this long and has a constantly progressing plot that is still able to keep things interesting and maintain a high level of quality. So no, you're probably in the right for being skeptical about how deep or complex One Piece is or actually could be.
I guess the best way to describe it is that One Piece is indeed very simple, in that the story being told at any given time and the action going on in the moment is rather straight-forward and easy to understand and follow. However, Oda has a way of being able to layer those story threads upon each other gradually and in a way that they all fit and mesh so incredibly well. And because he is constantly going back and involving past events and characters, the simple stories that have already been told don't dissappear and get forgotten but remain relevant, which just adds to the growing saga that just grows by adding more simple threads gradually over time. And when we do get a call-back to something that already happened, the reaction usually isn't "huh? what the hell is that?" but instead "Holy Hell, THAT'S connected to THIS?!?" And that's largely because past stories are told so we'll and completely that they resonate and stick with you, and thus have all the more impact when they are reintroduced into the story.
This style of storytelling, of layering simple threads into a complex tapestry, can really only be told through a story that is this long and requires a LOT of both meticulous planning and great creativity to make things LOOK like they were meticulously planned when sometimes they weren't. And Oda is the kind of insane genius that's able to do it.
bro u should be a journalist or smth ngl like ur writing skills 💯
I think it's the bonds between the characters and the convictions that they have to achieve their ambitions that drew me into and keeps me reading/watching onepiece years after I was introduced to it. The main crew are all wildly different people with different goals and life experiences, but they're family, and close in a way that is almost difficult to imagine. That kind of relationship and sharing your views and the good and bad of life draws you in, and makes you feel like a part of something massive.
Especially in how it feels like it connects you to other fans across the world. The free-spirited nature and the fact that pirates don't give a fuck about what the status quo is, is also really inspiring in a way? The fact that being yourself and fulfilling your own ambitions is enough is something that I really connected to. Onepiece is an adventure that I'm glad i get to ride along with, and I look forwards to everything that's coming up as we hit the endgame.
The characters are definitely very visually unique, but the women are all either shaped like a boulder, a heavily exaggerated hourglass, or a squat old person lol.
Also, Arlong Park is definitely a good benchmark. It’s about 45 episodes in, which is normally a lot to ask someone to watch before they decide. Thing is, this series was meant to be hella long from the start and the first 100 eps are more or less a prologue for everything else to come. By AP, you get most of the crew for the early series and you get an idea for how Oda structures and creates his world. You’ll get a good sense of the action, emotion, and comedy styles you can expect from it too. If it hasn’t hooked you by then, it’s unlikely to change beyond that point.
The crew and character development along with world building is what hooked me
Also aside from my other comment, you definitely need to check out the video that was mentioned during this one "why you should watch/read one piece" it's an even better video that really deep dives into why one piece is so impactful and so powerful as a series, it's an absolute must watch!
Honestly what got me interested was seeing a Facebook video of Luffy fighting a certain doughnut lover. That ON TOP of just knowing that this has been around from my childhood and is STILL just as popular if not more.
Let’s just say I haven’t meet anyone who has regretted trying to read or watch One Piece. Many just regret not trying sooner.
8:31 "You had me at pants-less cyborg" -Doctor Doxy 2022 XD
I love that the world is always moving. One of my favorite examples is how in the first chapter you’re introduced to Coby, a useless kid that in any other anime would be a one off character. Some 500 chapters later, he shows up again, this time grown into a teen and making his own dream come true. This nobody is a somebody to oda. And he’s not the only one, there loads of characters that you meet multiple times throughout the series. Old enemies, and friends, one chapter they are laughing with the crew and a few chapters later they are pitted against them. All these lives carefully interwoven that really make you realize that you are watching a whole world unfold.
The "a moment from every year of one piece" video from crunchyroll is what got me to watch one piece
When getting into one piece people fear it's lenght, they look at the total number of chapters and say "I'll never catch up" or "it's too long"
Thing is, it doesn't matter when you catch up, it's about the journey not the destination, it's not about being up to date, take it at your own pace and don't feel like you have to read it for others, read it when you feel like it, and you'll enjoy it that much more.
I watched the anime for a long time but I shifted to the manga about 600+ episodes in, and I assure you it's a much more pleasant experience, One Piece is a joy to read volume to volume, and honestly reading it chapter to chapter isn't AS good, it's still amazing, but it's made to be read in bulk, and that is one of the best parts of being new, you get to digest as much content as you want at your own pace, if you truly like it, you'll find yourself flying through chapters.
At the end of the day, if it's not for you, that's fine, even the most popular of series are not for everyone
(ex: Bleach, has a lot of die hard fans, I kinda like it but nowhere near as much as some others do)
Journey before destination!!!!
Id just watch the anime, unless of course you like reading. I watched it all in a little over a year and loved every single second. The pacing can be pretty slow on a few arcs but the majority moves at a good pace. There is almost no filler in One Piece so I don't know why he mentions this. It's like 1% filler compared to the 99% story. And even the filler is incredibly fun to watch and can be somewhat important for the story later on down the road. There's really nothing wrong with the anime besides some slow points in the story. It's a fantastic watch, I highly recommend!
Some purists consider the added scenes to stretch an episode as filler, though it strictly... isn't.
One piece is the FIRST anime i ever watched and i chose to watch it because it was long lol
Don't look at it as "there is too much". Look at it as "it won't stop being good".
I started watching One Piece back in 2003 so it wasn't this massively long series it was just one of the big three titles. I do remember having problems convincing others to watch it even back then for sometimes strange reasoning...like several people who were caught up with the other big three, Bleach and Naruto, but just wouldn't start One Piece for whatever reasons. It is very much worth watching or reading. Yeah the anime has some issues but it turns a 9 out of 10 story onto an 8 out if 10 story.
I tried to get into One Piece a few times but where it really clicked for me was Drum Island. So many moments of OP can be perfectly distilled down to a single line of dialogue(ask any OP fan about how they feel about the phrase "nothing happened"). Anyway, I watched the Drum island arc for the first time over a decade ago and to this day whenever I remember the phase "When do you think people die?" I will full on ugly cry. This silly pirate manga has given me countless laughs, but when it makes you cry; OP is truly something special.
I have a whole playlist of one piece discussion and this video is one of the 4 videos at the start of it because I absolutely love and agree with it
This whole story and all the stories in it as well as all the creativity is done by one man and his desire to make a story that he himself would love to read ❤️
Why you should watch/read One Piece is also a great video from the same person if you’re interested in watching or reacting to anymore vids
Man's impressed with luffy dodging an arrow, wait till he sees return to sabondy
One Piece manga is by far one of the best not only among manga but among of all kinds of fiction. One Piece is not only achieving in terms of entertainment aspect but also in the technical aspect of writing a story. The worldbuilding and lore, the unique art, individualities of the already well-written characters (both the leads and side characters), fore shading, the concepts relating the world's sociopolitical issues etc.
Also those small details which were like insignificant in earlier chapters but would turn into a big plot surprise and twist after hundreds of chapters that would make you speechless like "wtf?!" and you would realize that everything actually makes sense.
Yeah, Oda had approached Luffy's voice actress expressing his concerns about the voice actors ages and everyone getting older and about winding the series down to the end. or so I was told
Just subscribed after finding this video, gonna have to watch all your episode reactions now 😂
Haha thank you so much! The reactions stop just before loguetown, but don't worry I'm still watching and making content on one piece, I'm just doing the rest a different way :D
@@doxyanime thx for the reply! yeah I imagine it’s difficult to make hundreds of videos in order to react to all the episodes, while ALSO having fun doing it. so definitely enjoy it at your own pace! I am completely caught up and eagerly waiting for new chapters and anime every week, and I love to relive the journey by watching people react. Have fun bro, hope you enjoy it enough to see it to the end because it seriously just gets better and better
@@brandonotten9501 thank you so so much, i really appreciate your understanding! copyright is a pain in the booty and it was causing me all sorts of issues, which slowed down the content. Also dont worry, i'm 600 episodes deep now, no point stopping haha! plus i'm really enjoying it
Baron Omatsuri was one heck of a movie. And, long story short, what makes OP so great is 100% THE CHARACTERS and their individual stories as they grow and change and power up, of course 😉
if you ever wanted to CRY BECAUSE OF A F*N SHIP/BOAT, watch One Piece
I can honestly say that One Piece is huge. The story starts "slow", but evolves fast. The information is given in a way that is coherent to the evolution of the characters and at the same time shows glimpses of what they need to reach. The world-building is awesome, from the start. The most coherent seen from a manga as long as this one.
I'll tell you what when I first met my wife she hadn't watched hardly any movies and the only shows she would watch were like murder mystery shows like NCIS and like reality TV and somehow now she is caught up with me on chapter 1061 of one piece. It's definitely a series that will grab you if you get into it
800+ characters, and each characters are so memorable. 🥹
They have life size actual statues placed around cities in Japan paid for by the city.
I believe it's now the #1 best selling comic and manga in the world.
Hi nice video, i think what really made me love one piece is the characters interactions and development/building
Trust me when I say that, while long, it is not as bad as you might think to get through the manga. I took a long break from the series and was behind by over 200 chapters. I got through the vast majority of what I had to catch up on in one sleepless night, I was that gripped by it.
What really pulled me into the series was the characters, and the world, themes, and mysteries have only compounded the love I had for the series. The Strawhat Pirates embody what it means to be a found family in a way that very few casts manage across every artistic medium. A lot of that is simply by virtue of how much time we get to see them spend together.
I'll tell you this: No matter how much One Piece's extreme length seems like a detriment or a barrier to entry, by the time you're invested in the crew and the world they inhabit, by the time you're caught up, you'll feel like it isn't long enough.
You sound like he needs to read it all. I disagree. I think he can stop at episode 53 (end of first saga) or episode 130 (end of second saga) and it would still be worth the watch. The answer to 'I can't read 800 chapters' is not '800 chapters is not that many actually' but 'then stop at chapter 50'.
L'appel de l'Aventure n'a pas de frontière! Stop watch stuff about One Piece my friend, and just start watch One Piece, you don't know how lucky you are to be able to discover this story. We'll be here, even from France ;)
As soon as Luffy punched his first pirate I was in. I came late to one piece. I'm 51 and it's my favorite anime and top 3 favorite tv shows all time.
everytime i hear someone say "i cant read/watch that many chapters/episodes its way to much" the only thing i think is "if you watch/read it you will get to a point where its not enough"
For that movie that was recommended, great though it is, it also gets some cahracters' personalities off. Some fans theorize it could have been due to pollen from 'flowey' influencing their minds, but that's just a theory.
would u try reacting to this "One Piece AMV/ASMV - THE CREW WORTHY OF A KING [FULL HD]" or "Roronoa Zoro Tribute - THE AWAKENING OF AN ORDINARY MAN [One Piece AMV/ASMV"
Super eyepatch wolf is lying about one thing. There isn’t masses of filler episodes. There is only about 95 filler episodes out of 1035 episodes
yeah someone else mentioned this to me, but its weird because 99% of people have told me to not watch the anime because its mostly filler, so i'm really confused haha
@@doxyanime if there is only 95 filler episodes out of 1035 episodes that makes up only 9% of the show. On the other hand Naruto and Naruto shippuden have 720 episodes combined with a total 295 of them being filler
@@doxyanime Yeah, not sure what they're on. If taking into consideration that a decent amount of the filler is entertaining and good to watch. I'd put the filler rate at around 7%.
@@doxyanime actually main issue with anime is pacing. Normal anime take 2-3 manga chapters to make 1 episode, but for one piece it takes only 1 chapter per episode which make them stretch the episode and pacing feels very slow. Fillers in one piece are mostly decent or even good, if you are first time watcher you wouldn't even realise those scene were filler.
You should check out “One Pace” - is a fan-edited version of the anime that cuts all the fluff and filler out so you get a more streamlined version of the anime that’s closer to the manga.
It’s the best way to watch One Piece!
Damn Senior Pink gets me everytime.
Senor pink gets me every time
If you want a short cut go skip and watch arabasta and enies lobby arc those are just 2 of some of the best arcs in One Piece.
Why no one talks about the emotional moments is beyond me. That's the op notch eveybody agrees on.
- Also, I don't think it's about what type of genre you like. It's all about the author Eiichiro Oda. It could be sci-fi, romance, westerner or whatever. I don't care if it's pirates or fantasy or whatever, really. I would read or watch anything this dude makes.
Reading the manga feel like too much, but is not. U can easily read like 3 or 4 chapters un 15 minutes. And sometimes u just... Cant stop reading. I read all the chapters, reading them to my lil bro in less than a year, reading a few every day. And never was a chore
The appeal for me is that you can take breaks and come back to the show because it literally never ends. It's so complex but it tells you the story so well that you can jump right back in.
Along park is "the" point for the series if you don't enjoy it but then, you won't. The World building, and the fact that Luffy is only thr main character of his story, not the world's story. If the Strawhats didn't exist, the world would go on and be interesting in and of itself. And MANY of the characters could be the protagonist of a completely different story all in this same world. I've been reading weekly for.... 6- 7 years now and I still wait every week for that chapter to drop like a kid on Christmas morning.
One of the things I want to point out though:
I REALLY enjoyed MOST of the filler from the anime.
Judging from comments on Crunchyroll and UA-cam, it seems there's only 1 real reason why people dislike the filler: It's not part of the original manga story.
Like, the filler is actually good? And why shouldn't it? It's usually just a mini-arc of the Strawhat Pirates getting on an island they did not plan to get to.
It fits in the story, it's a simple "break" and it actually makes sense: not every island must have a corrupt leader for them to stop.
Of reactors like yourself who were worried about going into it because of it's length, most of them I've seen have carried on after Arlong Park without any issue. in fact, most seem invested after about 5 episodes. XD
A lot of fans will say "oh, it gets better here or here" but really, it's good eating from the very start. It just... gets better as it goes. And yes, it has its slow bits but it amps back up again not long after. There's really no story quite like it.
Well now is more than 1000! Characthers i guess. 😊
I don't agree with ruining the buildup that is Senor Pink, but still just start watching it, the point of no return is 44 episodes from the start
8:12 It’d be incorrect to call him a pirate warlord, that’s an official title in the show. A pirate emperor however…..
One Piece each chapter since chapter 1 for me is so hype.. until these days (1000+) I always recommend the manga.. the original from Oda always hits different then watching the anime.
It’s 1062 chapters rn
ok i’m going to go rewatch 1035 now 😂😂
I got drwgged in because of Franky's Theme and Three Towers
Start from the first chapter or episode 1 of One Piece anime. There are anime where you can skip 4-5 arcs and still feel like nothing is missed out e.g. Dragon Ball. You can watch Dragon Ball Z without Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Super without the formers. For One Piece, it's the build up arc after arc, progression after progression. Missing one canon arc can be detrimental as a whole. There are hints, layers being implanted and only after looking back, you will realised what the author have done. He sneaky by the way. Oda's a teaser, long game story teller and the satisfaction is guaranteed. Just like any human, we all do have bad days, not so good moments. This applies to him as well but I can guarantee that 95% of the time, he delivered. The 5% is your opinion, perspective, things that are yet to be shown and his teasing. Good tease.
If you want lots of free content and an easy way to build a base on UA-cam, watching One Piece is a no brainer!
In case of the anime. There is absolutely NO exception in the way that it should be watched and it is exactly like the manga. Episode 1. Fat period. No shortcuts no movies before hand. Episode One! (for One Piece)
Way ahead of you my friend! I'm 55 in(although only the first 30 uploaded currently) but thank you!
@@doxyanime you are in for a lifetime adventure my friend. Your videos are great, keep it up. As for your newfound journey: I will be waiting for you in the land of Wano!
oda has been saying 5 more years for the past 20 years lol. id say with all he still has to cover 7-10 years
He hasn't - this is simply one of the many misinformations that circulate in the fandom.
Life is short and it's a long/beautiful story that your missing out on. Get off the fence and full send. I've consumed many stories over the course of my life (36 years) and One Piece has left a permanent mark on my mind. I have no regrets. Why do I like it? There's just too much to say. Find out for yourself why you love or dislike One Piece. Only you can derive your own meaning or satisfaction from a story. Of course it helps to get opinions from others, but set out on you're own journey, make your own decisions. Don't rely on hype or the mob to determine what has value in stories or entertainment. Those are my thoughts after watching your video. Also, being the geek that I am I consume theory/hype videos from various different youtubers that have added depth/sense of community to the experience of One Piece. Ohara, Grand Line Review, BDA Law to name a few. As well as conversations with people I meet. It's been an awesome experience so far. It's given me some pep to my step so to speak. Very much worth it in my opinion.
I do hope you check out super eyepatch wolfs other video on one piece and maybe check out the openings.
The massive length of One Piece should be irrelevant to the question whether to watch it. The series is one long adventure. So you can stop at any point without detracting from the value of what you have watched. Even if the series had ended at 130 episodes (the end of the second saga), I would still recommend it. Personally, I would recommend it even if you knew in advance that you would have to stop at episode 53 (the end of the first saga).
Also the answer 'start at chapter 1' to the 'question where to start?' actually sounds quite good because the first chapter is both enjoyable and gives a good first impression of what the series is like.
I disagree that you should check out the manga. Both the anime and manga are good options, as long as you skip filler (the first filler episodes are episodes 54-60) and switch to the manga around episode 320 or roughly around episode 500.
One Piece does have an absurd length, but if you sit down and give it a chance, you may not be able to put it down. When I was in graduate school, I binged the first 200 episodes (which is about all their was at the time) in a week instead of doing the studying and work I was supposed to be doing 😅
So that's become my pattern. I binge 200 episodes at a time, though I can't do it in a week these days, and I probably can't binge at all now. I've got to watch 300-400 at this point to catch up.
Oh damn. So you still have like the 2nd half of Dressrosa , Zoe, Whole Cake Island, and Wano arc to get through. I'll say this, they are spoiling us with the movie quality episodes lately
@@kevinlee6003 No, I stopped at the end of Dressrosa.
Bro this is an OLD video 😂 There's like 1060 chapters currently. And it's FUCKING AMAZING
Give it to episode 44, the end of Arlong Park.
If you’re not hooked on the story....
Nvm you just said it 😂
If it’s not for you then it’s not for you by then.
bro talks more than actually listening and missed a lot but it’s cool at least he watched it
I didn't miss a thing? You may be surprised but it's not a great video if I sit silently for the whole thing and just fakely make faces that make no sense is it
@@doxyanime ignorant, you could’ve paused and actually listened to what the dude was saying instead of catching a few words here and there, no bap you missed plenty.
And when I pause it, I get massacred for consistently pausing. That's not ignorance, it's making my video the way I wanted it made, and the way people said would work better. If you had watched the video I spoke very little, and you are in no position to tell me or anyone what I can or can't hear. I heard EVERYTHING.
He said another 3 years, but it could be 5
U should totally react to that movie!
It has over 1050 chapters now
Tbh it really shouldn't take too much to get you into the show by episode 4 I'm sure you'll love it. You just gotta start sometime and once you do you'll probably want to binge it.
Senior pink 😭
I hope you will watch that movie
def watch it rather than read if you dont mind a slower pacing. it has barely any fillers and they are all enjoyable, i skip the ones that are mid arc (usually 1-3 ep) but i watch them later on but if its in between arcs theres no reasons to jump, they are great. i like to watch for the singing n character laughs as well as the animation and music, the fights are way more enjoyable too animated than just reading but thats my personal preference. i find watching easier to digest and you catch a lot more detail (often important stuff) when watching
If you want to read the manga, your best bet is to get a Viz/Shonen Jump subscription and read it digitally. The subscription is dirt cheap, all of the One Piece chapters are available, and you can read a bunch of chapters a day.
over 1000 of both now homie
Watch the geography of one piece
I'm searching the one piece movie or filler which corresponds to the fight scene at 15 minutes (it lasts only 4 seconds). It's been a quite long time that I want to see this fight (more than 4 or 5 years after seeing an amv and I couldn't find the amv again). If someone knows the moment please write it in a respond to that message. Thank you
Whether you watch manga or anime, it isn't a mistake. The anime suffers from 'a weak production run', but that doesn't mean all of it is trash. Sure, the first SD era episodes look outdated, but at the same time, they were well directed and animated for their time. The quality improves. The soundtrack completes the immersion and the voice actors are ones that complete the characters; some characters were in fact created with specific voice actors in mind! I think episode 450-750 can roughly be described as the 'weak production run' bit where Toei had chosen to take away too many of the good artists and directors for their other shows like PreCure and just let it languish because One Piece had become too popular to fail.
I'd recommend just watching anime for as long as you can enjoy it; there is definitely added value in its existence, especially as a gateway drug.
the only thing i dont agree with is the fact that he said there is alot of filler which is just not true there is 93 episodes of filler in all 1013 episodes of one piece which if you compare to something like naruto including shippuden there is 720 episodes and 296 of them are filler so in comparisson there is barely any filler in one piece
I really want for you to react to one piece!
If that wasn’t enough, here’s a 5:30 min fan-made trailer, here’s the basic story without spoiling anything:

@Doctor Doxy I have deleted my comment as it was a malicious assumption (I still hold a lot of UA-camrs in contempt though) and I'd like to apologise for offending you, at the end of the day I'm happy that you have indeed started the series it's a win-win for everyone. I've also subscribed to the channel if it helps.
My friend it's okay! I completely understand your points because they're valid! A lot of people on this platform, or others for that matter, are very good at saying a lot of BS. So I hold no grudges, happy to have you as a sub that means a whole lot!
Also no need to apologise, although fully accepted
one piece rn is at episode 1034 and the manga is at chapter 1061 the manga is in its final saga and oda wants to end one piece within the next 5 years but we know it probably wont be finished for another 7 years lmao
One Piece has actually taken the number one spot from Superman. Absolutely insane.
Edit: My mistake. OP has passed Superman in lifetime sales but will likely pass in comic sales in the next few years.
Anime is the best way to get in to one piece... Yeah it's very slow paced but there are no fillers or small amount like 9% so watching anime is the best way
What?
Bro now its over 1050 chapter
I give it like 6 years for the manga to finish and for the quality to decline from there.
