If you have not started, I’d recommend waiting for “the one piece”, a remake of the anime that will be much shorter, it will probably be a much more reasonable commitment to see it. It should start airing in february 2027.
Good luck, space cowboy

That’s my plan also. I wish they did that with all shounen, streamlined, no fillers, consistent animation. I’d pay for a Naruto like that.
tagoth@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That would be nice, Bleach too
TootSweet@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Ooo. Thank you. I think I’ll do just that. Wait until it starts in February.

For an even quicker speedrun, LEGO One Piece comes out on Tuesday.
lepinkainen@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
AFAIK it’s going to be at the same-ish pace as the live action version
ZkhqrD5o@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I just calculated if you try catch up with all 1180 episodes today, then you need to watch for 12 hours per day without a single second of interruption for 38 days, to get to today’s most recent episode.
NuanceDemon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Sometimes it can be nice to have a consistent ongoing side project tbh. I started one piece when it had about 800 episodes, took ages but its far from a slog, killer story all the way through.
Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Sometimes I binged 10 episodes straight sometimes only 3 or 4.
Caught up within 6 or so months watching everything (including fillers) until the Punk Hazard Arc.
Since then I am following the show live (more or less)
Siegfried@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Did you take into account effective watch time? I would exclude intro and outro… also some animes spend 3-5 minutes repeating the last 3-5 minutes from last episode (almost verbatim, super cheap imo).
HereIAm@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
New anime speedrun tech, only watch the recaps.
Uebercomplicated@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
And watch the entire thing at 2x speed; no one needs that extremely slow editing.
sploder@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Wonder how much the One Pace series eliminates from the watch time? Lmfao I watch it when I need to catch up and it honestly helps a lot.
Katana314@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
There was one anime where an episode ends with the protagonist barely winning a very bloody fight. I made a snap judgment “He’s probably going to need to spend an episode recovering from his injuries, so I’ll just skip one.”
I think I got it dead on and it honestly didn’t seem like I missed much. But I have no idea what that guidance should be for One Piece.
black0ut@pawb.social 2 weeks ago
I’ve been watching one piece on and off during my free time. It has taken me 2 years to get to episode 470. I think this is gonna take a while…
ohulancutash@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
28 days. There’s 18 minutes pf material per episode. The rest is extremely long title sequence and recaps to pad out time.
TwodogsFighting@lemdro.id 2 weeks ago
Is there a no title sequence and recaps and bits that go on to long cut out fan edit?
I jsut scrolled down. There is. Goddamn I need to hibernate for 50 years so there’s something decent to watch when I wake up.
Hack3900@lemy.lol 2 weeks ago
Or read an divide that by at least 5 (chapters are 15 pages adapted individually into 25 minute episodes, the anime’s a pretty terrible adaptation for that reason)
Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
I saw an example recently of a segment that seemed to last like 3-5 minutes in the anime, but was 4 panels in the manga. I don’t even think it was the full page. Is the anime really that bad at pacing?
OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Unpopular opinion: 99% of anime is garbage.
nightlily@leminal.space 2 weeks ago
99% of all media is garbage. Anime is not special in that sense.
Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
I love anime, and this holds true.
thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I tried watching one anime to see if I was wrong. Watched high school of the dead, was met with crazy bouncing boobs between a sniper rifle shot. Regretted my decision immediately. All of it screams pedophilia to me.
It’s one thing to have a cool shot, but it went on for 10+ seconds of bouncing animated tits. Just not interested in animated porn. Maybe if it was 12.
Squirrelanna@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
I feel like if you’re gonna give a specific style of media exactly one good faith try, that should warrant a bit more careful curation lol. Like, why not go with something pretty much everyone agrees generally is great like a Ghibli film? What made you choose THIS anime of all things?
youngskywalker@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yes I would call that unpopular indeed

I dunno, The Boondocks was pretty good.
chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
There’s been great stuff since the 80s. Even some of the stuff that became popular outside of the typical anime fandoms, you have things like Cowboy Bebop, which oozes style, and the 2 FMA series that have solid storytelling and complex characters with great music and animation.

i was following one piece up until 2013 manga only. started watching the anime couple years ago and still hasnt catched up until now
Signtist@bookwyr.me 2 weeks ago
That was near the start of Dressrosa, which was a pretty long arc with a lot of fight episodes that seemed to just be the same back and forth stalemate over and over again. It’s unfortunately just a few arcs before the Wano arc that does the same thing to an even greater extent, unfortunately. The filler was already starting to wear on me by that point, but those 2 arcs took it to an extreme. Luckily, it seems that the creator has realized this as well, and the arc after Wano is a nice quick pace with plenty of stuff going on.
kahjtheundedicated@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Good to know. I do remember dropping it because it felt like I could watch 10 episodes and nothing happened. And sometimes I would just scrub through an episode to see if it’s still the same fight and pretty much just skip it.
When they weren’t fighting for 20 episodes at a time it was a fun show, but ehh idk if I’ll ever get back into it
DoubleDongle@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Didn’t they get the One Piece and just find out it’s actually just one piece (1/8th) of the real McGuffin they thought they were looking for?
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
naruto, bleach, one piece has been going on since the early 2000s.
Exatron@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Until the last decade or so, anime based on manga would run mostly weekly while trying not to overtake their source material. If the anime got too close to where the manga was, they’d do filler arcs/episodes or just stretch the material out.
On some occasions, the anime would just do something completely different from the manga. Fullmetal Alchemist is a good example. The first anime more or less matched the manga until around the Laboratory Five arc. At that point, the anime went in a completely different direction so it wouldn’t have to go on hiatus or do filler.
andros_rex@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
the anime went in a completely different direction
“We’ve had too much nuanced exploration of war crimes and religious conflict, time for magic Nazis.”
ZkhqrD5o@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Naruto may be the exception because both series actually have an ending. Boruto was shit, however.
danc4498@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I’m guessing there’s good jumping on and off points for these types of shows. Like, if you don’t want to watch 1000 episodes, start on episode X and watch till episode Y to get a good complete(ish) story.
watson387@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago
Definitely. The “seasons” of the show are setup as story arcs.
danc4498@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Are there seasons? One piece IMDB page shows 1201 episodes in season 1
ScoopMcPoops@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
One piece is best experienced starting from episode 1. If you don’t want to watch over 1000 episodes the manga will always be an option.
Cityshrimp@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
At least One Piece looks close to finishing. I’m also waiting on Case Closed and I can see that one going for another 10 years…
NuanceDemon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
They wont let it die. Look at Boruto.
Prepare for Two Piece.
ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
I’ll wait for the complete series special edition once they finish Red Piece and Blue Piece.
Xanvial@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Maybe wait for next year, there will be a remake that should compress the episodes published by Netflix.

Signtist@bookwyr.me 3 weeks ago
I love it, but the length is certainly a hurdle. It took me years to get through the anime, and there were several points where it felt like it took multiple episodes to make even the most minor progress in the story. Still, though, the story itself is great, and it seems that recently things are back to the snappy pace that the beginning of the show used to have, at least where the dub leaves off.
Monster96@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I’ve recently been using one pace to watch the anime. I found that is cuts a lot of “shocked face” shots that last a unnecessarily long time and a few others
Goodeye8@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
I have to give it a go. I tried to start watching over piece years (decade?) ago, back when Ace was to be executed. I started from the beginning and it was a snore fest. Decided I’ll just skip the start and watch episodes as they come out. After spending what felt like an eternity watching Luffy run on ice I just gave up on the entire series because it felt like an episode worth of story was stretched to 5 episodes.
scytale@piefed.zip 2 weeks ago

I had a friend who I saw catching up on the anime in 2023, he texted me a few months ago to say he had reached the newest episode.
zammy95@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I caught up FAR to fast. I was working from home. A new job, and it was right around the holidays. So no one wanted to really train me for awhile, so they gave me easy work that took no time at all. I don’t think I’ve ever binged something so hard in my life haha
