It should be illegal to recommend shows with more than 1000 episodes.
If you like it fine, but I saw it and the pacing is straight up horrible even if the worldbuilding is neat.
Not for nothing, but the manga is paced much better and can be read legally, easily, and digitally for a $3/month subscription. Took me like a month and a half to read the whole thing.
You’ve made your opinions clear about long recommendations, so take it or leave it. You were interested once before, though, and it might be worth checking out.
Yep it’s the same with a lot of these super long series, they are much more digestible in manga form.
Read the manga
This is my same thought with soap operas. Not that I want to but how would you even get into a show that had been running 5 times a week for 30 years?
I tried to watch the ocean cut of Naruto, which basically edits each arc down, cutting out unnecessary flashbacks and recaps, along with intros and intros, making it into basically a series of films.
It’s still 40 films worth of content and 3+ hours per film sometimes (I think, it’s been a while), and the pacing is still absolutely fucked which is a symptom of basically every episodic anime when binged.
I had to watch the first 40 episodes on 3.5x and that shit was still boring. I dropped it after 40 lmao
Had to
Why did you have to?
Who is forcing you to watch a show you don’t enjoy.
one piece fans will lock you in a room until you get through alabasta and can answer a 100 question multiple choice exam
Ugh Alabasta was my least favorite Arc.
Vivi was a terrible character
The hype around One Piece saying “guys it’s really good trust me you did watch it.” So I gave it a chance and watched around 40 episodes.
Not that i’ve seen any of them but 3 others come to mind
Doraemon Crayon Shin-Chan Detective Conan
Huh. I never knew Shin Chan or Detective Conan went on. I saw them on Adult Swim and figured those 20eps were it.
I’m gonna have to go to find where I can watch the rest. Thank you.
Conan is terrible for this. The author has said that he already has the ending planned out, but wont use it until the series loses enough popularity to be cancelled. Canonically, the story only takes place for one year, but has had multiple Christmas specials, gone from pages to flip phones to smart phones and has had more murders than Japan’s official yearly average.

Fuck the asimes pacing, it’s unbearable. Luckily onepace.net exists

Thank you for posting this. I gave up on the show a week ago around episode 600. Marineford legitimately felt like they spit in my face and told me my time was worthless with how many cuts of “he’s almost there”. The show looks like it gets interesting again afterwards but Marineford legit just sucked the will out of me to continue watching. I was thinking of looking up a fan edit to just get the cliff notes and this is perfect!

Until I found One Pace. Be sure to use a VPN when downloading via torrent though!
