an anime that left a lasting impact on you/changed your life

One Piece, because I have been watching it for so long.

@joyandhappiness the series is not actually as long as it appears to because most episodes are 5 minutes shorter in duration than the usual 23 minutes full length episode by implementing 5 minutes recap at the begining of the episode which was used as an alternative formula to not create filler due to the risks associated with it.


But for newcomers I recommend manga since this is the fastest way to be caught up to the series or wait for wit piece in which will be no doubt great to perfect adaptation after seeing the interview.

You could try One Pace (same as One Piece but with faster pacing), or wait a few years until the remake starts airing.

@jacobPOL it still has 1k+ episodes

@joyandhappiness Also the manga of one piece is very easy to follow thanks to the great paneling provided by the author. It took me to caught up to the manga around 8 months of reading included with some breaks.

@jacobPOL Pay no heed to my comments, good sir. i have absolutely no intention of watching one piece. i only asked him that question because i like it when people admit they are wasting time watching one piece as it satisfies my ego

@Zarutaku One pace is terrible, they have toxic mentality of "everything not in the manga is bad thus needs to be removed" to the point they are removing actual scenes of the anime to replace them with manga panels or fanarts. And also they haven't learned anything, how they butchered vincent chansgard cut in , not realizing that every adaptation based on the written source material will always have some anime original scenes and changes because they are two different mediums of storytelling with different techniques to convey the story in the medium staff works in. Here is an example of what I am talking about https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hncZtX2Y_MM

The manga is still the best way to be caught up to the source material in the fastest way.

@jacobPOL Well, it's still worth a try if someone is put off by the official version's length.
