| As some one who recently started One piece and wasn't really intrested before starting. I can say One piece has the ability to make you invested even after 100 episodes. I can't judge the Manga nor One pace, but i can say you have to watch a few(first few character introductions) episodes to really judge and decide if you like it or not. |

| If I could do it again, anime until Thriller Bark, and then everything from Thriller I’d read. Idk why, that’s just when I personally felt a drop in quality and pacing more so than previous arcs. |

MossheadSword3 said: I would say anime because 100+ mangas would be hella expensive and take longer The Shonen Jump+ has it all free (and official). It takes a lot longer to watch 1000 something episodes than 1000 something chapters. |

| i really like the anime! i’m about to enter into post-timeskip, which i hear the pacing is utterly horrendous for. im not too worried about that though, lol, i can get through bad pacing. my recommendation is if you’re really worried about pacing, just read the manga. but if you want to be really immersed into one piece, i’d say watch the anime. toei makes some odd decisions with the characters and the art sometimes, but if you’re not worried about that, then go for the anime! one pace is certainly an option, but i personally don’t prefer it. just, for either route you go, don’t skip any arcs (unless it’s purely filler, though g-8 in the anime is good). it kind of defeats the purpose. skypiea, thriller bark, and even long ring long land set up stuff for later arcs, and especially with skypiea the stories are great. i get that people want to get caught up, but i personally think these arcs are a lot of fun! |
| I actually read the manga after the anime and it took me a month to catch up, Back then the manga was around the wano arc. One piece chapters are relatively short and easy to read as like most shounen manga. |

| manga. you'll catch up faster. The anime around the 400/500 mark really starts having too many eps where literally nothing is happening other than characters just standing around talking, or flashbacks just to pad the run time. It gets annoying real quick when I was able to finish an arc in the manga in a couple days compared to the weeks it takes with daily watching with the anime. Only reason i'm watching it is because im watching with a friend. |

denis_MXMV said: I really don’t understand people that say you need to skip something. At this point just don’t bother getting into One Piece at all lol. Both anime and manga are awesome and they are different enough that you won’t be bored reading/watching through it again, especially if you are doing one well after the other. I’m watching anime in its original form with all the movies and OVAs + reading manga. It’s not that slow at all. So I recommend just doing both and with anime I don’t recommend doing One Pace or anything like that i'll never get that either. unless youre skipping filler that has nothing to do with the actual overall story, if youre skipping arcs like Skypiea you're not a fan of One Piece, you're just a casual watcher. |
