| So I thinking of starting one piece. Should I read manga or watch anime. I've access to both version so which should I try. And what if I choose manga, should I read color or black/white variant. |

| Watch Gundam instead, start from 0079 series lol. |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
| As an anime-only viewer, I'd recommend reading the manga instead. There will be no fillers and the pace will be faster. |
  |
| You can't go wrong with either one tbh. The manga is obviously better but people shit too much on the anime. |

| I personally caught up to the anime and started reading the manga starting from the chapters that hasn't been adapted up to that point I think a good experience for One Piece is to read the manga up to the latest chapter, watch specific moments (the ones you want to see animated) in the anime and once you're caught up read and watch both That way you're able to be fully caught up with recent events and also experience everything the anime has to offer There's no wrong way to go about it It all comes down to what do you prefer For better pacing, no fillers, not missing out on the cover stories and being fully caught up, go with the manga If you're willing to forego good pacing and in turn get amazing animation, voice acting and OST, go with the anime |

| As someone who read one piece, it's better to watch jojo instead. |
| . |
| read the coloured manga and then watch the anime |
| I suggest to read the manga. I tried to start the anime but I fall asleep in episode 3 because the pacing is atrocious, seriously one chapter per episode... Lord! |
  MAL is the perfect place to shit talk about people's opinions. |
| Read the manga, the anime adapts 5 PAGES per episode |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
| It really can't be understated how bad the pacing gets later on. With filler, you can at least skip it if you want, but there's no getting around bad pacing unless you speed it up, which I don't like. The manga is a great experience you can't go wrong with. If you would prefer the additional features of the animated medium, there's a fan project called One Pace that trims out the padding in scenes for a better pacing (of what they've done so far, 45% has been cut). I watched it two years ago and I think it's definitely an improvement on the anime, though I think a couple of spots got cut down a little too much. |
 A society which fails to uphold empathy as its foremost guiding principle is doomed to ignore or even defend the exploitation of its most vulnerable members. |
| How much time do you have? Do you value reading manga as much experience wise as watching something? I mean it all comes down to preference I don't think either way is the wrong way. While the show is the slower way and yeah it has filler. That said the filler didn't bother me, really compared to a lot of other shounen I have seen it didn't feel like it hurt the experience. Voice actors do a great job of enhancing sad and happy moments. The music also helps emotionally and environmentally, this is a epic journey with a lot of interesting locations and the soundtrack does a good job with that. Honestly I could go on but like I said both are valid and it really depends on time investment and preference. Wouldn't hurt you to try both and then continue whichever one you like more. A few years ago I started it for the first time and caught up in like 4 months and I didn't regret it. |
| I actually like the filler eps on OP. They truly add the sense of grand adventure of the series. |
THE JAPANESE SHOULD STICK TO MAKING CARS AND ANIME - GARY K. JOHNSON |
| Watch the One Piece anime before the time skip, which is somewhere around 500 episodes. Then stick to the manga from there |
| As someone who watched the anime multiple times and also read the manga: definitely read the manga and don't watch the anime. If you liked a chapter or arc a lot you can watch the anime part of that (there are also movie adaptations of some arcs) but don't bother with everything. |
| As someone who only watched the first ep of One Piece... Read it. You really see the contrast when you compare One Piece (anime) to some other stuff. You could either watch One Piece, or watch 90 cours of different Great Animes; or in other terms, One Piece or the top30 animes on MAL, lol. If you'd read and enjoy the manga instead of wasting all the unnecessary time with the Anime, you'd actually save so much time to watch something actually coherent and great... with somewhat better pacing. |
         Intelligent gets through situations which wise avoids. |
| I didn't make it, but I think this video does a good job of explaining why reading One Piece is a better idea than watching it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy4hH-GnaIg) mostly per the reasons stated above, but also because it is a lot easier to catch up by reading it rather than watching it. I've only seen and read it occasionally here and there, so I myself probably should not pass judgement. |
| I would just go with the manga. Much faster. As I am now, I probably couldn't even start watching the anime anymore. I wouldn't be watching it if I didn't start it like 6 years ago. Way too long, slow paced. Like you could watch something 90 episodes to get to drum island or you could just read about 16 volumes which depending on reading speed, you could very well accomplish in a day. While watching it would require way more. If I were to start reading right now, I could probably catch up to the manga in a month. That is like 4 volumes a day which is for me 3-4 hours. Though with anime, it would take at least 6 months of dedicated watching. The pacing is still okay for the pre timeskip but after it slows down. I would say, read the manga but if you wanna see some fights animated then just watch them in anime form. But during Wano arc, the anime really becomes eye candy. But Dressrosa or Wholecake Island are fucking slow. I barely got through Whole Cake. |

| I'd say you should watch the anime. Then, switch to manga whenever you feel like it. |
| You can watch it up to the Thriller Bark or so before the pacing starts to become an issue, but I found it tolerable enough up to the time skip. I would switch to the manga at that point or try One Pace, but that seems to be a divisive topic. You could also just read the manga outright, and check out some of the fights in the anime, I'm sure it's all on YT. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |

| Read The Manga It's Way Better Than The Anime, I've Tried Watching The Anime But It's So Slow. |
 |
| I’d suggest reading the manga and when there’s hype scene read the manga first then watch them or just watch them only |
 |
| Read the manga, but the anime is a good companion piece at times. There are certain moments that you'll read in the manga that you should watch the anime scene of. Especially moments with songs, like Bink's Sake. Don't watch the entire anime because it is slow and padded as heck, it had a lot of filler, it doesn't have the best animation sometimes, and it changes some stuff from the manga. It's got a great soundtrack and voice acting though, and some of the openings are nice. As for the moments you should watch the anime of, there's a lot, so you should proably post a new thread that asks that specifically. |
| Read the manga, the pacing is actually bearable. But if you like animation as a medium more watch the anime, there's really nothing you would lose from experiencing the story this way. Also if you would prefer to read the manga you can just watch the movies, if you care to see the characters animated and voice acted. |

| Better read or watch Conan. It is much more interesting and your brain works every time when you read or watch it. |
