Should I watch one piece?

The longest anime I have watched till now is bleach (without fillers). So should I watch one piece or one pace ? Is one pace good way to watch the anime? I don't read manga. Or should I wait for the wit studio remake? I mostly like shounen/action anime

Ok_Difference88752026-01-08 15:35

gvisii2026-01-08 15:39

r u dense how is my response rude LOL

they asked a question and i answered with a simple no because i PERSONALLY dont think its good, its called an opinion mate.

gvisii2026-01-08 15:38

no its not.

ur better off reading the manga but like u said, u dont read manga so just find another shounen to watch.

ChorgiBorgi2026-01-08 16:01

Your edit is dumb, man. "day 454832 of one piece fans getting mad when u say that their 70% filler-show is shit and slow paced"

You do realize that One Pace is specifically made to get rid of that "70% filler", right? If this conversation didn't directly involve One Pace, I'd brush it off. But that's just bad reasoning tbh. You're saying no to the solution of your complaint? I don't get it 🤷‍♂️

gvisii2026-01-08 16:02

the fuck is one pace pal??? im talking about one piece here

ChorgiBorgi2026-01-08 16:04

So you just said "No" without actually reading the post 😕

One Pace is a fan project that literally removes the fillers out of the episodes, making it faster and reducing the episode count basically by half. The post was asking if it was worth watching.

gvisii2026-01-08 16:08

the title says "should i watch one piece"...so i responded to that.

and even if i read the post and saw "should i watch one piece or one pace" i still would have said no because idfk what one pace is until just now when u explained it to me.

either the way the series is dog shit IN MY OPINION so i dont think its worth reading or watching.

if u disagree and think the series is good then tell op that, dont tell me bc ur not gonna change my mind LOL, its called having an opinion

_StevenPettican042026-01-08 16:34

Chill out lad, what got your knickers in a twist

New year just started and people already be crashing out on social media 🤦‍♂️

Hope you feel better soon 🫡

gvisii2026-01-08 16:36

i am chill brocacho??... literally just replying to someone

gvisii2026-01-08 16:37

also where's the crashout?? LOL

Ok_Difference88752026-01-08 15:35

For reference the anime that I have watched and loved are bleach fmab death note summertime rendering parasyte erased chainsaw man Jjk fire force demon slayer dororo death parade mha etc.....

Pindi_Animations_7212026-01-08 15:36

I'm still waiting on two pieces.

DisturbedFlake2026-01-08 15:39

I’m still waiting on Black Clover “season 2”

Pewp-dawg2026-01-08 15:38

I watched hundreds of episodes of that show, and honestly I wish I could have that time back. I like One Piece, but the pacing is so bad and the arcs drag forever. One Pace might be better, I don’t know, just… value your time more than I did. Unless you’re a mega fan, you’re gonna get burnt out. I did, and can’t seem to force myself to finish now. I want to… I just… can’t do it.

ChorgiBorgi2026-01-08 15:58

One Pace is pretty sick. I wouldn't have watched the show normally at all, One Pace is the only reason I even tried it. And being super open, it was just a way to pass time for me when I had nothing to do but watch anime on my phone in bed for months. I did burn out and take a month/year break a few times too, and it wasn't until the 400s that I really started liking the series. That being said, I'm caught up now, and I went back to watch the earlier arcs, and they're better in retrospect for me. But yeah, if you can convince yourself to keep going, definitely try One Pace over the original. It makes a huge difference.

ChorgiBorgi2026-01-08 15:39

One Pace is the best way to watch it imo. Better than the manga, better than the regular anime. Probably no harm in waiting for WIT in general though. But I will say

1) The original anime definitely has a lot of tropes of its time that aren't popular now, so it can feel dated. The beginning gags in Bleach are comparable though, so if you didn't mind it, I think it'll be fine

2) The biggest way to convince people to watch One Piece, in my opinion, is so that you can find out what the One Piece is with everyone else. Rather than having it spoiled later. No exaggeration, it'll probably be the biggest spoiler in all of anime, so that's why you should to me.

But One Pace was great. I think they even have most of it done. When I was catching up a couple years ago, I was watching whatever they had out for One Pace and then reading the manga for what they didn't yet.

Ok_Difference88752026-01-08 15:49

I have heard that the pacing was alright before the timeskip , so should I start with one pace after that ? And stick to the regular anime till timeskip?

ChorgiBorgi2026-01-08 15:53

Definitely not haha. Watch One Pace all the way through. There are parts in Orange Town (one of the earlier arcs) where they combine like 6 episodes down into 1 episode, it's wild. Just keep in mind that this is a fan project and the first couple arcs can feel like it. Like if the music doesn't always cut smoothly. I'm making it sound worse than it actually is though. And once you get a little bit in, the transitions become so normal that it feels professionally done. Seriously, the way that they edit the music, sound effects, voice acting, it's like magic.

Ok_Difference88752026-01-08 17:02

So I should stick with one pace all the way from episode 1 to the latest episodes?

ChorgiBorgi2026-01-08 17:07

Yeah, definitely recommend it! And if you just don't like it for whatever reason, try again with WIT. I'm not gonna lie, the beginning bit of One Piece isn't peak/amazing/mind-blowing, but it isn't terrible either. Just keep expectations low and if you find yourself enjoying it, you're good to go.

Ok_Difference88752026-01-08 17:57

Ok thanks for the detailed answer. By which arc does it get really good?

ChorgiBorgi2026-01-08 18:01

There's a lot of debate on it. Like, some people love it from episode 1. The general consensus though is if you don't like it after Arlong Park, you probably won't like the series as a whole. Alabasta is the first real "big" arc, so that's fun to finally get to. Impel Down is when I started loving it and invested in the series. I mean, I wouldn't watch to episode 400 if I didn't like it, but that's when it finally got ahold of me.

One Pace lists by arc name rather than episode #, so I went with those instead.

AnimeLover8112026-01-08 15:39

One Pace is peak. It removes around 600eps of random trash that isn't in the manga. So use one pace

SnooSquirrels97312026-01-08 15:42

600eps is not quite actually actually cus a lot of one pace episodes are 30-40min, but yeah, it removes a lot of eps and saves a lot of time. OnePeak

AnimeLover8112026-01-08 15:43

It literally does cut around 600 eps. That how much trash there was lmao

_StevenPettican042026-01-08 16:32

It’s not 600 episodes lad. It’s about 41% of the episodes currently adapted

AnimeLover8112026-01-08 19:29

Believe what you want. One Pace itself says its around 600 removed.

_StevenPettican042026-01-08 16:32

Yeah it’s not quite 600 episodes, from the episodes adapted, it saves about 41% of time so it’s probably about 400-440 episodes

notabear872026-01-08 15:39

PenguinBread2026-01-08 15:39

If you're interested then watch it. If not then don't. One Pace is a stupid way to watch it imo. If you wanna go through it faster just read the manga

Spidermanbuddy2026-01-08 15:41

As someone who has watched one piece 2 times and read the manga one time, I'd recommend watching it. I don't think you should wait for the wit studio remake, bcz I'm pretty sure the manga will end before it reaches a good point, and you're bound to get spoilers. So, it'd be better if you just watch the original one, rather than waiting for the remake. Doesn't matter whether you watch the complete series, or through one pace, just don't skip Skypiea arc, some skip it and think it's filler. Also, I'd recommend to drop the anime if you don't like it after the Baratie arc, no point in going any further upto 100 or smth episodes, just to find out whether you like it or not. I liked it right from the first episode btw. GOOD LUCK!

ActualRound76992026-01-08 15:42

So, whether or not you watch it’s up to you. Its accolades, awards, and constant recognitions speak for themselves to how popular it is. I think it’s worth the watch.

One Pace is a fan edit that cuts back on filler and padding in the episodes to save time. So, while it will cut back a lot, there’s still probably 1,000 episodes to get through. it’s a lot. it is dated in a lot of ways with animation. But if you have the patience to sit through it then I think it’s worth it.

The Wit remake could be a good entryway, but there is no telling when we will get a release date. could be a year from now or fives years from now.

Jumpy_Syllabub74632026-01-08 15:43

You can try watching it if you're into long anime. You can just drop it like a hot potato if you don't like it. I have watched 1016 episodes, and I loved it, but at the same time, I felt burnt out. So I haven't continued watching it yet.

Ok_Difference88752026-01-08 15:46

Didn't enjoy it ?

Jumpy_Syllabub74632026-01-08 15:53

I enjoyed it so much. It's one of my favorites. It's just that it's too long, and I didn't skip the fillers. I literally watched everything chronologically, including movies and OVAs, along with those 1016 episodes (with fillers). So now I'm taking a break.

EnvironmentalMall4092026-01-08 15:46

Na watch the monogatari series

OK_Cartoonist49562026-01-08 15:47

definitely it's the goat

Commercial-Income1642026-01-08 16:03

Just watch one piece. It's only one season long.

abandoned_idol2026-01-08 16:48

Wait for the re-adaptation at least. By studio Wit.

BambooGentleman2026-01-08 16:52

If you like to be immensely disappointed down the line you could give it a try. The manga went downhill a few arcs ago, so there's really no saving this franchise anymore.

Ratings for the latest episodes suggests waning consumer interest, so now it is going seasonal. If that doesn't fix it I can see them canceling the anime altogether.

Niwrats2026-01-08 17:17

it is still ongoing, so not yet. you'd just get stuck in the middle of the story if you start now.
