| Yes it is worth it, in my opinion it is the best shounen anime out there. And is personally my favorite anime. The beginning is very action packed, he gains 4 of his comrades in the first 45 episodes, which is about half. The anime has a lot of continuity as in something might be mentioned within the first 20 episodes that won't become relevant until the 400s. That's one of the great things about this anime, secrets from the beginning of the series will be revealed at the perfect time, After the first 45 episodes it starts to get slower, up to 60 episodes for an arc at times. The One Piece world is great, you actually know what the world looks like(and the world plays into the plot). Each island is built beautifully with a lot of different seasons,weird natural phenomena, cultures, and natural landscapes, big sea creatures and other animals of all shapes and sizes. |

Entezio said: Oh so im guessing 1-30 is gathering the crew huh... And is this anime childish? Like is the anime not serious and just a bunch if people trying to get the golden prize while fighting "big bad monsters". Well, really a kid and adult can enjoy it. I wouldn't say it's really childish but keep in mind shounens aim for the younger crowd as well. But no, nothing like that example you gave, the plot is well-done so it makes for a great watch. Have patience though, it does start off really slow(Gathering the crew and all that jazz) but once you get passed that it all becomes worth it in the end. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |

And is this anime childish? Like is the anime not serious and just a bunch if people trying to get the golden prize while fighting "big bad monsters". Some might say that it's childish but it really isn't. The anime is enjoyable to all ages, even having adults as probably the group that watches it the most, because the plot and the setting is so great, you wont' feel like the show thinks you are a kid at all. It is serious at good times, it deals with issues like slavery, racism, eugenics, justice and other things like that. |

| To be honest, One Piece won't give off a similar vibe to that of DBZ. It focuses more on the adventure than the fighting, although Luffy does prefer to settle things with his fists (which becomes 1000x more epic than any DBZ fight). Basically, it's a really long and epic story that you have to sit down and enjoy it. If you're watching One Piece for the fights, you're going to have a bad time. |
| Arguments of quality aside, which I think are the expected in a specific subforum about One Piece, starting by the beginning in this series is essential because of the way the plot is structured. In almost every episode, there will be references to previously watched elements, sometimes separated by hundreds of episodes. And the sense of continuity is very strong and a key element in the character and story development that is shown. That is, I can say that the Arlong arc is when the series gets great, but the Arlong arc is great because it builds a contrast in a character from the first image we had from them, in previous arcs. |
Entezio said: A long time maybe up to 10 years more(maybe more around 7), it has an ending planned out, the mangaka has already confirmed that.I know I can google this but with me being on my phone in a crappy internet location I'll just ask here, how long do you expect One Piece to be? |

Entezio said: The story is actually getting stronger near the 500 mark rather than weaker.Thank you flame. 7 more years? Impressive the plot hasn't thinned out so far. I really don't know how they'll keep coming up with new ideas, they've already had 10+ years of this show. Well I'm heading off to home, gonna watch it as soon as possible. Thanks and peace! |

| I have the same problem, I don't know if I should watch One Piece or not. P: But since all these are pretty good reviews I guess I'll have to watch it! I'm starting a One Piece Marathon by next week. LOL 500++ Episodes, well, here I come! |
 |
| Entezio I wish I was you so I could watch all those episodes without knowing things o_________o Believe me, it's totally worth it, it's my favorite anime :D |
 |
| Currently? No. Earlier stuff are somewhat good though. Just don't watch to catch up, watch to enjoy. And the current two arcs are complete crap, so you're not missing out on anything. Take your time. |

| I'm pretty confident that starting and marathoning One Piece was probably one of the best anime related decisions I've made, so yeah it's worth watching. You can take it slow or whatever, just give it some time to get it's feet on the ground at around episode 30 or so. |

But a lot of other people and I say to just watch all the fillers because they are interesting and you won't be able to tell them apart from the story.Lol wtf trojan I'm on episode 54 and this anime is so awesome!!! And funny too. I love how all the characters interact with each other it's fcking hilarious hahaha man I love this.

Do you think I should watch it cause honestly it's boring as hell and I don't know if important information is in this arc. Like the arc I just watched, Logue Town, is apparently filler but it was so awesome with the Usopp gun battle and the Sanji cooking battle and that smoker general guy. Warship island is a filler but you need to at least watch episode 61. He is right about the couple of plot holes though, you don't have to watch it unless you want it(it's not that bad of a filler in my opinion), just make sure to watch 61. |

Entezio said: Ok I'm skipping that arc. Didn't seem that interesting to me. Alright I'll be watching episode 61 then! Good, that was only boring arc is one piece. you can watch it later if you need. |
| One word answer: Yes There is a reason why this anime has so many episodes, it's a good series to CATCH up on. If you watched it without having any patience and dropped it later on giving it a low score you'd be doing no one a favor. Now the first 20-30 episodes is nothing that amazing, it's just luffy securing 3 of his nakama (Zoro, sanji, usopp) but it has a lot of interesting information in it which if you missed out on might lead to confusion later on. You even get to see a shichibukai (Warlord) which play a big part in the series. It starts to get decent at around episode 30 but not too impressive. However after that everything is pretty awesome. You might want to avoid the Skypea arc, if you could just watch one piece until enies lobby (250+) and Marineford (450+) you'll realise how awesome it is. At the moment for me what's keeping me watching one piece is the pure great promise it has. There is so much to happen! especially about the yonko (emperors of the New World), i mean White beards set the bar pretty high ;) I'm sorry about the overuse of one piece terminology but just stick with the one word answer :P |

BlackCatScott said: I don't understand why anybody would skip an Arc. It's really strange to me. Just because other people recommend you skip Arcs I still think you should go ahead and watch it all - just because one person doesn't like something doesn't mean to say you won't enjoy it. Take your time and enjoy the show. I'm up to episode 207 of One Piece now and I'm loving the show. I have no intention of skipping any of it! Not to mention it's pretty obvious Skypeia, which I'm assuming is the arc you are referring to, is obviously going to have repercussions somewhere down the line with all the things Robin found and all. |

But I think he might be talking about up a little some guy said that he wasn't enjoying the filler Warship island arc, and we said that he is able to skip it he just has to watch the last episode of it since it has canon material in it. Though I don't really think someone should skip any episodes the first time they watch a show. |

I think all of us fortunate enough to be able to say that we marathoned 400-500 episodes of OP are very lucky. When I first started op, thought it was merely decent and dropped it. It took me a year till I tried it again and that was merely 'cause I had nothing to watch. Now, it's my favorite anime. |
| well the first 50 episodes are boring as it is about how everything starts then the show becomes the best thing ever. 450+ episodes of complete awesomeness is totally worth it |

Maybe. But, there is no way I'd consider the Arlong arc "boring", in fact it was when realized I was into something special. That said, "boring" is arguably the most "boring" piece of criticism there is. There were definitely some good things in the first few arcs, such as the back stories and Mihawk's first appearance. |

Entezio said: Yea the first 30 or so episodes were alright. It was nice seeing how the crew got together. Arlong Arc, being one of the only "amazing" arcs I've seen so far was pretty entertaining. I'm on episode 83, almost up to the Alabasta arc. I heard it was pretty good, is it true? Yeah that was amazing, an appearance of a certain amazing person which will eventually lead to a huge incident that will shake the world of One Piece :D The villian of that arc is awesome too :) Glad that there are more people enjoying One Piece. Once you've catched up to the latest episode, you'll start to suffer :p |

| Arabasta is incredible! It's probably my favorite OP arc so far. My ranking would be: |
| For me, 1. CP9 Saga (Enies Lobby + Water 7) 2. Marineford 3. Arabasta 4. Impel Down ( + Amazon Lily) 5. Sabaody Archipelago 6. Fishman Island 7. Nami's arc (Arlong) 8. Skypiea 9. Thriller Bark All of them are amazing though. I wish I could watch it all over again without knowing what's going to happen. :) |
