Yeah, but Good is subjective, that's your take on the show, and I respect that, but I highly doubt every single OP episode is that good to begin with, that's why I said I rather spend my time on a shorter anime, which, might have 1 or 2 meh episodes, but that won't ruin the experience (unless we're talking about extremely trashy anime like God of Highschool for example), I just don't feel like watching 200 episodes of something to reach a point for it to be finally worth it. If I have the time to watch something that big, I have time to watch or focus on something else that will probably engage me more. |

| I will never finish it, or catch up on it. It is the longest grind ever over 300 hours or whatever it would be. I can't even finish a 12 episode anime. |

Do you all realize bloating around your bias towards One Piece won't do shit? It's actually pretty obnoxious and if you're aiming to get people into it, then, it's backfiring. |

Of course it's subjective. I'm not saying One Piece is objectively good. There's a lot of things I don't like in One Piece, but I still argue that overall the show is worth it. I don't know you so I can't tell if you'll actually like it and convincing you to watch it isn't my intention. I just disagree with the opinion that long show aren't worth it. An episode from a 900+ eps anime can be just as good as an episode from a 12 eps anime. If you end up watching a long running show and you love it, would you still have the same opinion? |

I absolutely love Bleach, but I understand that not all the anime is worth mostly due to the fillers and because some arcs are weaker than others. But 366 episodes is nowhere near the 900+ episodes that is One Piece. And I know One Piece has a LOT of filler from what I've been told, so yeah, I highly doubt One Piece will be worth enough to justify 900+ episodes, that's why I rather watch smaller ones that will satisfy me the most than watching something that big which will probably bore me halfway through. I feel the same with games actually, I rather play something shorter than to force myself to play a shitty long ass game, advertised to be the biggest game ever, which half of it isn't really worth it.

| The slowness of One Piece is legendary. Some can say that they adapt a few pages into 15 episodes and you are not even sure if it's a joke. The much better option is reading manga. It saves hundreds of hours of wasted time. As for me, I've dropped One Piece after watching 908 episodes. And being long is not the main reason. That recent (and 50 episodes ago is a really recent thing for One Piece lol) fight with Katakuri completely turned me down. So dumb, illogical, uncomfortable, uninspiring and insanely stupid that I couldn't recover after that and gave up on this wretched show for good. And it's not the first case, for sure. Should have noticed that problem a few hundred episodes before. Anyway, first episodes, at least before the timeskip, seemed like something majestic. Edit: Op is just on the 269th episode. Bah. He doesn't know what he's talking about. |

| Well it did stop me from starting it until one day I got dared by a friend (note I was not interested in One Piece at the time and it was 900+ episodes hence why they dared me) so I started it and surprisingly got addicted, now I wish there were more than 900 episodes tbh. |

I don't really think you actually understood what I mean. I didn't feel like responding to your concern about One Piece because I didn't want to sound like an obnoxious fan and I've already said it: One Piece is worth going through 900+ episodes. And no there aren't that much fillers in One Piece and they are always skip-able so it shouldn't be a problem. And like I said, an impressive amount of things happen in One Piece, the time going through is justified and satisfying. I don't like comparing One Piece to other shounen specifically, but really One Piece is the only shounen that actually meet my expectations. Yet again, I still respect your opinion. I'm just giving you my thought on what I think about it. |
| One Piece only sounds like a chore before you start it tbh, once it gets you hooked (if it does), it's gonna have you mowing through episodes like a madman, binging the shit out of it. I watched it when I was just done with Naruto and Bleach and was really accustomed to watching much longer series. I can understand how people who mostly watch shorter series (1-cour, 2-cour) would be less willing to invest as much time into a single show. Personally, I love a great long running anime much more than I could a great short anime. |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| Not only the length, but the ugly character design, a lack of interest from my part, and online friends pestering me about it has turned me off from watching it. |
 |
| i mean yea...in the time it takes to catch up in one piece one could literally watch 39 anime (assuming each anime is 24 episodes). |
| I refuse to watch any anime longer than 300 episodes. It is just unnecessary and if anything, to me, is a sign of filler and/or poor pacing. |

| Signature removed. Check your inbox |
| Yup, but not only because for it's long duration... It is dumb... with an horrible artwork and character design. Lame and irritating characters. The "humor" it is also lame, and ridiculous. The fight scenes doesn't impress me at all. The "plot" is the most random and boring thing I've ever seen in this, so-cliched shonen series... And also, I hate everything that is pirate-related... I fail to see why this anime is so terribly overrated... |
| We are EVERYWHERE... |
| Yeah quite literally my reason. I watched 1 perma long anime I don't want to commit to another one. Then again Black Clover is on my PTW but oh well. |
| It's extremely understandable that people would be put of by the sheer amount of episodes One Piece has. I myself would probably not watch it at the age and time I have now. I started watching One Piece when I was in 4-5 grade, and At the moment one piece had around 500 episodes and I had a lot of time to spare. A lot of free time and little to do. So I easily watched it at the time. However if I was to do it now, I wouldn't be able to, like I'm sure many other people can agree to. I don't have the time to sit down and watch over 900 episodes, I have to much other stuff to do aswell as watch many other Anime's and Manga's. So I totally understand why some people won't watch it. They are losing out on one of the best Shounen anime out there, but that's their decision xd |

It's one of those things where I'll watch it eventually, but pushing me to watch it will make me less interested in it for a bit, yknow? |

I think it's sad that I'm not able to do that anymore, I get bored or tired of the plot/characters or that I don't have the commitment to watch the same show for 900 episodes etc. When I was younger, watching One Piece, Naruto, Bleach etc was easy. All of them I watched in less than 3 months (both Naruto and one piece was still ongoing at the time). And the comment was made based of what I have heard other people say, and that I myself feel at the time. And also I just feel that people should rather read the Manga instead. Both are very good, but if some people have it difficult watching 900 eps, they might find it easier reading the Manga instead. Speaking from personal experience. |
| Man why are you being so obnoxious? Dexity999 said: lmao yall watched naruto,naruto shippuden, and prolly boruto but wont watch one piece. If One Piece was spilt into three parts yall would watch it tho. Well yeah, I grew up with Naruto anime and not One Piece (I do read the manga though). If I grew up with One Piece I probably should be at episode 700+ rn. Also for my case, Naruto was one of the first proper anime I've sat down and actually finished and it introduced me to this medium. If you tell me to rewatch it now I would never (at least for few years to come). I think being stupid is fine. But anyway, I'll repeat basically what you implied. One Piece's length is enormous. Just like Gintama, people are hesitant to watch it merely because of its length, presumably not anything else. People want to be entertained, and they are skeptical to waste a large chunk of their free time watching something they might not like that happens to also be incredibly time-consuming and, on top of that, isn't completed. It's not because it's bad. |

Preachee said: Man why are you being so obnoxious? I am pretty sure it is just a bait. |
It seems that I've been inactive for too long that I couldn't reckon things as sharply as I used to. I should be more toxic coz that's what MAL's all about. |
| . . . |
| and why is this a problem? |
| Well, no, but actually yes For me personally, I have enough trouble completing a 12 episode series. I do not watch as much anime as I used to (I am more of a manga person now), so it's in my best interest to not start a series that's almost 1,000 episodes long. My boyfriend has picked up One Piece recently, so sometimes when we are together I am watching it with him. From what I've seen, it's really not my kind of anime. I do enjoy shounen, but this is not it for me. I see myself enjoying Monster Musume more. ;) |
| Yes. I don't care if it's literally the greatest thing to ever grace mankind. There is so much great anime out there that people haven't heard of which I would much rather watch instead. The fact that One Piece is not even over yet puts it at the absolute bottom of my priority list. |

My initial reason was that I just didn't have the time, but now it's transformed into pure irritation because people are downright assholes when I say I don't want to watch it yet. Not that I won't watch it at ALL, but I just haven't started it. I think you're misinterpreting what I said. My issue is that I have individual people IRL realizing that I don't watch a piece of media and throw personal insults because I haven't seen it. I am not actively seeking out One Piece fans and telling them to their face that I think their show is bad and I will never watch it, because that's not true (the original reply was made BEFORE this threat was in the One Piece board). If I end up watching it after this rude-ass behavior, it just shows them that it works. And they'll continue treating other humans like that to get them to watch One Piece. Because like.... what you're doing? Personal attacks to my character for not wanting to watch an anime? Yeah, that's the kind of shit I deal with. So like.........no thanks |

| If I was growing up when it started airing, maybe I'd be up to date on it. But I didn't and there is like 900 episodes and I've only watched like 120. I have no real interest in watching long running shows WHILE they're airing, so I'll probably pick it back when or IF it finishes. But even then, I've been told to just read the manga so I may do that instead. my take is that length can be a deciding factor on whether someone wants to watch a certain show or not. People may have many shows they wish to watch but they don't have infinite time. They don't have all day, everyday to spend watching one piece and that'll take days, weeks, months, maybe even years depending on their schedules. So if they already have other, SHORTER, shows they wish to watch, they'll choose those over One piece. |

| "The world is not beautiful, therefore it is." -Kino's Journey |
| Not just that, also the character designs are hideous. Why watching 900+ episodes of hideous-looking characters |
| Watched only the 1st season way back and stopped. Heard it's still on going. |
 |
| I dropped it at episode 819 exactly for that reason. |
| People say it's too long and it'll never finish, but I don't see the issue when all the available content is of consistent quality. "Too long" or "bad art style" shows me someone's opinion doesn't matter. The Dressrosa arc was where the anime really became lazy and dragged. The manga's always been 10/10. |
 |
| I would've watched it if I started watching it in my childhood like Doraemon, but as I am now almost graduating high school, time go yet. Definitely would give it a try sooner or later, but yeah One Piece's length is honestly the reason. |
 |
| I don't think ANY fandom out their when first exposed to one piece will watch all of it one sitting, you often here from most people that are actually truly into it, they will watch massive chunks at a time. Like maybe 300 episodes and thats ALOT but then drop it for a while and then come back. That is generally the consensus for most of the fandom. Very rarely do you ever get people that actually follow it week to week, though there is fans out there like that but they are mostly your manga readers that have been following it for 20+ years. Again very rare though. Most people watch large ammounts of episodes and then drop, and then start it up and continue like that in repetition. Maybe one day when the series finally actually ends will some one have the "drive" to want to watch the "WHOLE" thing. But its hard to have that drive when you know something is not "complete" yet. In fact I think when this series finally hits its Final episode. It will bring forth a massive surge of new and returning fans that will jump on and suddenly the one piece fandom will grow exponentually. Hell this will probably happen even when the manga completes because the anime is not very far behind the manga. |

| I've started one piece and really enjoy it but there's a lot of other shows out there that are easier and quicker to watch then starting one piece again. |
| lmao yah. some of us are just really lazy to start on long animes |
