i never seen or read one piece i know is pretty old... and that always bugged me... you know, because is so famous and watched/readed by SO many people... is it late to begin with one piece???


I've put off watching/reading OP for years a couple of weeks ago started reading and I just couldn't put it down. I'm now up to date on the manga... and Its good damn good, hell I regret not reading it earlier I was really missing out.


No, you are absolutely wrong! Believe me, its better to have enjoyed everything now without having to wait for a chapter/ an episode a whole week ... I caught up with the anime when they reached the shore of Punk Hazard, then read the manga from then on and caught up too! But then I couldn't help it and read the manga from the beginning and even rewatched the anime *.*

Of course the current arcs are freaking awesome but the earlier ones when everyone joined are better off watched with no breaks so you would understand every detail about every single character and the meaning behind all of Luffy's adventure :)

I started the series years ago when Thriller was airing. Since then I've rewatched AND reread the series AT LEAST once each year. Great freaking series. Breaks are just AGONIZING, but at least Oda gives us awesome material to make up for it most of the time :P

You have like 10 years to read it so it can't be too late.

I'd highly recommend you to read the manga over watching the anime though, but it sounds like you already want to do that.

Here, this should help: The Story of One Piece in 30 minutes. Sums up everything up to before beginning the New World. Then you just start from the first arc of the New World - Fishman Island. XD

No! One doesn't simply enjoy one piece from a mere summary :))

A mere summary that actually misses and leaves out a lot of stuff, I'd add. The part of Skypiea in special, makes this AMV look like it was made by somebody who really, really despised that arc.

Never too late. Prepare yourself for the long road ahead, because it's going to go on for another (i'm guessing)1000 episodes. Good to get caught up now rather than in a couple years.

It's not too late. It would only take you a few weeks for you to catch up like how I read all the 500+ chapters of bleach in 2 weeks.

well, it's bot too late but i think you won't enjoy it like some one who was reading it from a long time ago.. i think everyone know what i mean
when an important character dies in a series you were watching for a long period of time, you feel so influenced by his/her death (because sentiments were pilled up for a certain character "the character you like") but when you watch/read a series for a short period of time you don't feel anything when a character die, because you didn't take the time to feel what this character felt ... the same goes for anything whether it was a manga, an anime, a normal tv series..etc

it's not too late, but you better start watching or reading one piece from this very moment (btw, i recommend you to watch the anime instead of reading the manga) you can start reading the manga when you finish the anime because the pace is so lame and slow :(

The later you start to read/watch the better. Imagine if you started back in 1997 only 1 chapter per week...

Not too late... Even if it was 1000 chapters you could still catch up to it eventually (especially through manga format, most people read faster as opposed to watching anime episodes that you can't really make them go faster than their actual run-time, although you can skip fillers).

You just have to be patient really. Think of it this way. If you only read 5 chapters a day, it will take you 150 days which is a good bit less than 1/2 a year (183 days). 1/2 a year might sound like a long time, but in context of how long the One Piece story has been going on (17 years about) that's nothing.

Now 5 chapters a day is a slowish pace, as it comes down to less than 100 pages of manga per day, manga is nothing like reading a book and usually reads much faster unless you are just sitting their staring at artwork all day long. I read One Piece chapters individually in like 8 - 10 minutes (30 seconds for every page basically), so 5 chapters approximately is 50 minutes, or less than 1hr of time in your day.

You'll have days where you have much more free time too inevitably. If your on vacation you could be reading 30-40 chapters a day if you spend 6-8 hrs reading One Piece on any given vacation day. 40 x 5 = 200, so you could techincally read 200 chapters (an ungodly amount of manga) in only 5 days worth of time if you are reading all day (and that doesn't even take into account you could read faster than this 10 min per chapter pace, or you might stay up really late and read more that way as well.

If you have a shitton of patience, if you read 1 chapter a day for 3 years, you will have read 1095 chapters in total, which would likely be more than enough to catch you up with One Piece by that time hahaaa. As long as One Piece has been going on, doubtfull it'll end in only a few scant years time.

It's never too late, One Piece has 10 more years.

Good luck, I caught up to the anime in a few weeks and read the manga afterwards.

There's never a bad time to start One Piece, I envy your ignorance at the moment. I wish I could erase my mind and watch it all over again.
