Current Events > Is One Piece (the anime) worth getting into?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Yeah, I'd say so but it's such a sloooooow start

The pacing isn't slow at all in the beginning. It does take some time to get hooked and get into what the show is all about.

Once Piece is good if you never read a good book in your life and you think Top Ten Anime Deaths are the saddest things ever.

Its a 2000 episode long toy commercial

I would say at least give it a shot until the end of the Arlong Park arc. If youre not enjoying it by then, then its probably not for you.

It does a decent job of condensing the arcs for the first 50 or so episodes.

My post may contain very minor spoilers, so I just blacked it all out after the caviat.

I don't recommend you skip the first 50 episodes, but if you choose to skip to where the live action left off. I recommend at least watch starting at the Arlong fight, not after it. There's a Fishman there that becomes an important character later on in the series that was completely ommitted from the live action. It's just so you know the character exists. Also know that in the Anime, Arlong first meets Luffy at Arlong Park, Arlong never went to the restaurant in the Anime. I just say this because there might be some dialogue that's confusing without that in mind. There's also a scene at Arlong Park, involving Zoros injury that further shows how badass he is, that was sadly ommitted from the live action.

Also, that scummy mouse themed marine (I forgot his name) says something along the lines of slavery being abolished... This is definitely not true in the anime.

i started watching it last month already on episode 527 so its very much doable

oh and as for FMA

2003 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> brotherhood

2003 actually explores the themes of selling your self as a dog of the millitary the meaning of what it is to be human and has edward forced to face the fact his entire life philosophy of hard work is utter garbate

brother hood is a generic shonen complete with ed being able to just pull shit out of his ass and punch his way through problems

What??? Edward never really shows much combat expertise. Brotherhood is the complete opposite of your typical shounen. In fact that's something I look back fondly about it. It was never about Edward training to get stronger or him getting a power boost or something. Most of the story works in all the characters and everybody contributes something.

isnt is like 1100 episodes and still not close to done with most of that filler

he constantly beats villians just via shonen punch power

and he pulled healing powers out of his ass one time

healing alchemy was always treated different

and actually the 2003 anime flat out denies the the entire idea of equivalent exchange dante flat out proves the philosophy wrong edward was 100% unable to counter anything she said because she was correct equal work does not mean equal return

and his fight with pride is a prime example of what i mean

hell every homunculus battle for every character is just about hitting them hard no need to be clever about how you beat them unlike in 2003

it's worth it, but don't be afraid to take your time with it

FMAB is also great and pretty short at that, and FMA 03 is good on its own right even if divisive

Might try the manga, maybe it's on Comixology. I read a ton of comics and graphic novels anyway.

No. That was Naruto.

One Piece is great but it has a ridiculous episode count. It will be hard to keep pace with it. If you watch 5 episodes a day it will be 200 days before you reach 1000. Realistically it will probably take a year of religiously watching it every day to catch up.

false ive only been watching for less than a month and im over half way through it
