Why hello there....welcome to MAL, 7 year animanga vet and can't wait for more stories to consume 🤙 Always looking to make friends and talk about peak! Add me anytime 🙌
One piece is a journey, I personally started One piece in 2015 and back then I started with the anime only since its very iconic. After catching up with the anime, then I started reading the manga weekly and also read it from the beginning. I think I read all of One piece during COVID (Had seen the anime but the manga is just as amazing if not more amazing so I had to read). It took me 30 days to read it all, From chapter 1 to 1000. One piece chapters are short and there's official coloured version available uptil chapter 800 or something. Point is, I read it during my final year of uni lol and had such a blast.
But if you ask me, I think every new fan should start with the anime first, although the manga is better and faster, there's something about the anime and it does have a whole lotta episodes lol. Definitely one of the best series you will ever invest your time into because its just so larger than life and nows the best time to catch up. It's expected to end in 3-4 years (the manga) and there was also a remake anime announced. By Wit studio, Imagine an airing anime getting a remake, Two entries of the same anime, Blows your mind lmao. One piece is extremely huge in Japan and now in west aswell.
Definitely watch or read at your own pace, It will take you several months to watch the anime, So just watch 5-6 EPs per day, or even 10.
You'll catch up in a few months and you'll be very invested since the story is in its final culmination phase right now.
Hopefully we're alive to witness the end of Berserk and also, more importantly One piece. That reminds me, have you seen or read One piece?
Because it is THE best anime/manga currently. The day One piece ends is gonna be a historical one for the anime/manga industry.
After the Author's passing, The chapters have been releasing very slow. Once every 6 months or 3 months. It's a very slow rate but atleast they releasing new chapters. The guy who's in charge now was a close friend of Kentaro Moira and he said that he can finish Berserk in 10 years or so. It's sad that one of the best stories in fiction is getting this treatment but atleast slow and steady it will get finished someday for sure. It's not on Hiatus, just very slow chapter releases.
I'm almost finished with the Soul eater manga btw, it's way better than the anime. If the anime was a 7 then the manga is an 8. It's nothing special but still a good read.
Okay so after episode 18, it's like the tone of the anime suddenly changed for the better. It's more action oriented now and I like sudden turn of events, with Maka and Soul y'know :)
I was mentioning that Oomph factor and it finally got one, only 20 episodes lol but I'm glad I stuck with it haha. It's fun now.
Also btw I finally started watching Soul eater, 17 episodes in and honestly this is very very underwhelming and different from what I had in mind. It's not bad or anything but it doesn't have that Oomph factor which Shounens have that reels me in. I'm just watching for the sake of it and hoping that the story picks up soon.
Maybe I'm disappointed lol.
It really was an amazing show. Usually there are shows which are slower in the start or which some time to get going but Frieren was amazing from the first episode. It was just that good and a cut above the rest.
The manga is ongoing and since the first season was so well received, Another season is 100% coming.
