Watch until an arc called Thriller Bark begins then read. At that point the anime becomes one chapter an episode and the pacing blows ass.

Yeah Id agree with that. Thats where the series starts to take off for the first time. If youre not hooked by the time that finishes, then its not the anime for you

Idk I say watch until you finish the Arlong arc which is about 44 episodes or if you can push yourself watch until the end of the Arabasta Arc. That's about 130 episodes. If you don't like it after that I don't think you'll want to go through anymore.

44 episodes is pretty doable. I've always wanted to try to give it a shot since it's the most popular manga, but man 1000 is daunting

50, and drop if you don't like it. About 150, if you're thinking "meh", but don't hate it per se.

Arlong Park is probably the most "One Piece" of the early arcs so yeah once you get through that and if you dig it continue if not duck out.

That said, if you aren't 100% decided but interested at that point the next best would probably be Water7/Eines Lobby as thats widely considered one of the best arcs if not the best in the series. But its wayyy deeper than Arlong Park

Yeah I was like you and wanted to watch it cus i heard great things about it. I tried watching it like 5 times before I got halfway through and then I stopped because it was a good place to stop. Just take it like one arc at a time don't try to bulldoze your way through like me

Arlong Park has a nice end payoff imo, but the Alabaster is the first truly realized arc. Before Alabaster it's more "entertaining" than "interesting".

This. Arlong Park is the first arc that shows what One Piece is.

I will say the shows arcs get better and better as the show progresses.

Also you do NOT want to watch the anime after the Summit War arc. Switching to the manga before that is also reasonable but changing media right before that arc probably isn't a good idea. Pacing and budgeting go to shit after.

I just started watching it today. I'm going to do 2 episodes a day. It's more enjoyable than I remember it being.

As a kid, I remember Luffy being pretty obnoxious and the dialog being too over the top for me. Idk if it was the 4kids (or whatever) dub that killed me or what. Now that I am older it doesn't bother me as much, but who knows if I'll change my opinion.

If anything I may use it for part of my Japanese immersion since I was able to understand around 60% of it since it's pretty basic Japanese. I'm only 2 episodes in, but I kinda like it. I disliked the artsyle back then also, but now I find it cute. It's cute and it's a nice break away from the modern stuff
