Just asking but I've been planning on watching One piece and wanted to see if there are any fans out there to make this journey more enthusiastic by commenting on what your favourite character is so I can look out for them :)
no

I'd recommend that you read it instead, the pacing in the anime is rather bad. As for favorite characters Usopp and Buggy are both great,

the anime does have good parts from what I've heard, but nothing good can come of trying to turn 1000ish chapters into the same amount of episodes, just look at stuff like this from fairly recent episodes.

this is one page in the manga.
Now to be fair to the anime it does have some parts with really good animation, but it's your choice to decide if it's worth it. Alternatively you could just watch the best clips on youtube and read the rest or something like that.

depends on your taste I'd say, from clips I've seen of the dub it seems pretty good with some particularly good choices for some later members of the straw hats, but most people would recommend the sub as it's the original audio and a lot of people prefer the acting, personally I've only read the manga and watched various anime clips on YouTube so I don't think I'm the best judge on voice acting quality in a series this long

Hello friend! I started one piece last year and right now I'm on episode 355 (slow I know) It's definitely worth the adventure! I'm extremely enthusiastic about Sanji, there's just something so badass about a guy who only kicks. He also simps for Nami and Robin like me so we are boys. Later on, you'll meet Franky and his weapon design is extremely unique to me and I enjoy his character quite a bit as well! There are some really funny parts with both of them and I think you'll enjoy their presence. Hopefully, my message wasn't too long! Enjoy the adventure, don't grind it out just watch at your pace, and don't feel pressured to catch up!

Franky the cyborg and Cesar the mad scientist are my favorites.

I don't know if such equivalents exist in other languages than French but I strongly recommend fan recuts of the serie such as One Piece Yabai.
It consists of movies compiled from the show but without filler scenes.

If you don't want to watch bad pacing and still would rather watch it you can use an edited verison of one piece called one pace I highly recommended it

I love the anime but if you wanna get into One Piece, then read it, you always can watch your favorite moments or arcs animated later. But reading One Piece is way faster. Also you could argue it is better. Wano Arc definitely has a lot of moments you NEED to watch animated. Episode 1015 and 1017 are a few good ones

If you want to get hyped more - watch it at 1.25x or 1.50x speed. After some point fights are happening so slowly that even if you watch 20 eps per day, you'd still need a few days to finish certain fights.

Best characters (imo) are Zoro, Law, and Buggy. I prefer the anime to a certain point (when they weren't using one chapter per episode and weren't stretching out time by giving you a damn episodic recap wasting about 5 minutes and then shoving the Op in to waste another 1.5 minutes), but it would be faster to read than watch. I do recommend watching the G8 arc though because it's one of the few anime original filler arcs that are actually worth watching (in the anime it's the arc directly following Skypiea, which was my least favorite arc).

actually in my opinion, the pacing didn't become slow until after around enies lobby arc, which is already hundreds episodes in. I recommend you to watch it first, and see if it fits your preferred pacing. If you think its too slow, then read the manga. But like I said, the episodes only started to become slow and added recaps not after a few hundred episodes in.

Digibro, a former anituber and big lolcow, started the entire "oh, better watch an anime at 1.5x the speed so I can see it all FASTER!" trend years ago.

Said 'tuber also misunderstood 99% of the anime meant to be watched for "reviews" on the Digibro channel.

I don't really agree with people saying it's not worth watching. You can always check it out for yourself and see if you enjoy it animated or if you want to stick to reading it. Personally I picked it up a few years ago and watched like 800 episodes in about three months and enjoyed it quite a bit. The world building and many characters you meet I think are better experienced with sounds and colorful visuals. Though to be fair checking your profile you're pretty new to anime so 1000 episodes is a lot to commit to, especially when there are a lot of smaller series worth your attention.

Anime has its charms that manga may miss or that it's played in background of panels. I recommend you to give anime a go first and then switch to manga.
Another reason for this, personally, is because it may help you hear their voices while reading. You'd be missing out on amazing music, wacky "between-islands" crew interactions, pretty dope voice acting etc.

I watched until episode 700 then I switched to manga (and I even began reading manga from chapter 1, because I was mesmerized by One Piece... plus, it helped me with depression. :D

Watch it. Give it a try and see where your head's at. No need to get the same opinion that has been said over a million times. Ofc the manga is better but the anime is also something that you could like as well. Mfs complain about the pacing too much. As long as you know that you're in for a long ride, go for it. Watch the anime.

no serious One piece fan says that. This take is exaggerated on so many levels. There's a reason that people still watch it weekly to this day.

I don't like gatekeeping but One Pace is disrespectful and for fake fans.

The pacing is completely fine to me and many others.

If somebody doesn’t like your pathetic show doesn’t mean that she is trolling. And I , in fact, am a higher level thinker, not an idiot like all one piece fans.

Nobody told you not to dislike it, but:

1) It is OBJECTIVELY not trash
2) You are expressing opinions, not facts
3) You are not intellectually superior to the fans
4) Nor are you a "higher level thinker"

And thus, I'm done.
