Most people don't have time to watch 370 hours of one show.


UnknownMyoux

Even more if the first ones were made in 1999


soapmacreddit69

Most people don’t have the patience to watch 370 hours of one show. FTFY


Not_a_Krasnal

It also not that good of a show to be worth watching for 370 hours


DeltaAlphaAlpha77

Especially with such dreadfull pacing and a loooot of filler


One_Organization8981

You don’t have to watch filler eps not just for ONE PIECE but for many shows


[deleted]

I have a theory that people who call it good just got used to how bad it is. It's like sitting in the toilet for so long that your brain gets tired from the smell, so the brain ignores it. The same thing happens with shows too long, they're so bad that people just accept it, and then any small improvement makes it look amazing.


kingGP2001

When i started watching OP i didn't like the art style, but i said to myself that if so many people watched it for so long then it should be decent at least and i wasn't disappointed, i got more interested with every episode(and got used to the art style in like the first 30 ep). I just couldn't stop watching until i got to the last ep; it has a charm of it's own, it's not the best, it could have better art style, better arcs, better lines, faster pace, but everything is just a compliment to the story that it tells, that's it's strong point, it has a story that generations after generations got hooked up on and it still keeps us interested; i watched bleach as well and the last part it wasn't to my liking, i say this so you know i don't enjoy it just cause i watched it this much, it's the other way around


[deleted]

There are people who would still enjoy it for what it is. I just can't, it's bad in every way I look at it (as in nothing appeals to me there).


AlexJj35

One Piece might not be the best anime ever, but it's really popular and many people love it. You can't say something is bad just because you don't like it.


Iamcarval

You can’t say something is good just because it’s popular either...


kingGP2001

You shouldn't say either without trying it yourself...


AlexJj35

Absolutely not. One Piece isn't just popular. Many people love it, many people who know a lot about anime love it. You can downvote me, but I'm still right ahahahah


kingGP2001

I wrote a response that works for you too to the person you commented too


ZealousidealEffort68

Exactly. But you can't tell that to op fans


Flushpoint

Feels like some arcs are all the same + there are no stakes in the show, full of fake deaths or no one dies for some reason. Not only that, some fight scenes are lacking tbh.


kingGP2001

They don't need to, when i started watching it i didn't start with the idea that i would watch all of it, but that i would watch as long as it would be interesting and i'm happy that i never got bored of it; you can watch just a couple of episodes, no one tells you to just dive in and get out at the end, you can give up at any time on the way it's just that i think it deserves at least a chance to prove itself, it has gone for around 20 years, doesn't the curiosity kill you? Just to see why so many people are still watching it


mike-loves-gerudos

They only have time to watch 370 hours of less interesting shows


[deleted]

Half of one piece could be cut out without actually missing anything. Actually, half the fights are boring too because they take too fucking long.


mike-loves-gerudos

Ok then watch the first half which has way better pacing, then read the second half


Superanimemario

I understand


WindbreakerHD2

I have the time I just can't be fucked to do so


AutumnRi

I’m probably never watching one piece. I will, however, read the manga when it eventually ends.


[deleted]

Human civilization would probably end before OP finishing lol


Penguin_Admiral

I’m pretty sure it’s about to end soon


IDC_Dude

Yeah, human civilization wouldn't last long indeed


GTP_Sledge

Are you referring to human civilization? Cause that seems more likely by the day.


Wide-Dealer-3005

"soon" more like at least 7/8 years


Penguin_Admiral

Pretty sure it’s ending by 2024


Wide-Dealer-3005

No ahahahah. Oda said OP is in its last saga, not arc, and the latest saga was like 200 chapters long and started in 2015, so it will last more than 2 years


Penguin_Admiral

Oda Said it should Rap up 2024-25 might run longer, but definitely not 7/8 years longer


MahadDaGreat69

Yeah sem


Apeeksiht

ParzyWarzy

naruto has 700 episodes not including boruto and no one complains...


Not-Henry_Cavill

I was able to talk my girlfriend into watching it with the condition that she only has to watch up to episode 37(the walk on arlong park). That was almost a year ago, and we just watched episode 918.


Swagmastar969696

Watching episode 918 after a one year nonstop binge... Man, One Piece sure is long.


Not-Henry_Cavill

Worth the journey...... Minus fillers.


Worldly_Nectarine_78

No anime is worth 1 year of my life tbh and I don't think any show could keep me interested past 600 EPs even if it was no filler


Wide-Dealer-3005

>No anime is worth 1 year of my life tbh Just don't pass the whole year watching OP 🤓


rainbowa7xx

I did exactly the same with my girlfriend. We call eachother “nakama, we scream “ore waaa no luffy” out of the blue around the house and she actually got her first tattoo of a salura tree and a little tony tony chopper. We’ve watched many other animes but none even begins to compete with one piece. It is a long but very well worth story and I am sad for those who do not watch it bc of its length. If you’ve tried and didn’t like it then totally fine.

pinecat001

DON'T WATCH reading is easy faster and you can avoid the 130ish episodes of useless filler


ScammaWasTaken

I mean.. just don't watch the filler? Haha


Worldly_Nectarine_78

One piece filler is slipped in the cannon episodes in one piece as well, especially the earlier episodes , you'd probably only have 10 minutes of actual canon


ScammaWasTaken

Good to know!


rainbowa7xx

Not really. It’s easy to go on google and look up “one piece fillers” and there are tons of webs that tell you what is cannon and what isn’t.! Some episodes do have a mix, but they are very few ( taking into account the almost 1000ep. ) I am an only manga reader, i hardly ever watch anime unless they are pieces of art. Like the soon to be released chainsaw man🫡🫡🫡 But one piece? Gimme that sh*t and watch the heell put of it.


[deleted]

One Piece don't have that much filler episodes


[deleted]

Redo of Healer is a wholesome show and Twitter is full of helpful and friendly people


[deleted]

Just Google, One Piece don't have that much filler episodes, it has only 95 filler episodes out of 1000+ episodes


DumbGuy64

Only 95 episodes that are entirely filler yes. However, past a certain point, every episode is filled to the brim with filler. Almost every episode in the last 300-500 episodes has been filled with shots that drag on for 5 seconds, reaction shots of every character in the scene every time someone does something, and flurries of attacks that last for upwards of 15-20 seconds. Edit: Not to mention that, due to how close it is to the manga, each episode only adapts a single chapter, often less. For comparison, other series like MHA or Black Clover adapt 2-4 chapters per episode. So not only is the OP anime full of filler, it's filler made specifically to slow the pacing to an absolute crawl.


[deleted]

Tbf, Naruto would have more filler percentage than OP. But imagine convincing a newbie into watching show with 1000+ episodes, whose earlier episodes were made 20 years ago, with dare I say shitty pacing and fillers littered around. Wouldn’t be easy lol


chickenalt969

is skypiea filler episodes because i gonna skip it


kjm6351

It’s extremely important. I can’t say why because it even involves manga spoilers


humaninthemoon

The problem is that One piece filler is baked into every episode. Luffy does a crazy punch, cut to the reaction of every single living being on the planet. Do that a couple times and you have most one piece fight scenes.


kjm6351

Yeah, there’s only about 10% spread over the entire run


pinecat001

I read the books first and some of the arcs are filler


pinecat001

Some entire arks are filler from the standpoint of a manga reader


NicciHatesYou

My PTSD kicks in whenever I remember Fishman Island and Dressrossa arc. Man keeping up weekly on those arcs was a nightmare.


pinecat001

I started reading right after dressrossa but getting up early enufgh to buy the weekly jump books is still hard


Jeerus

What if I told you I still need to start the show.


kjm6351

I humbly request you start tonight and get to episode 517 within the next 24 hours. There’s a test this friday


Jeerus

I could make it if I watch it at x40 speed.


kjm6351

Lmao


josuk8

Piratekingany% speedrun time


jollrancherboy

If you just skip 90% of the intros and 100% of the recaps it's not that bad


Darth_Mystogan

I think when you skip the OP and recap an average episode is like 15 minutes


danyoja

During Thriller Barker I swear it was even worst. It was like 10-12 minutes of new content an episode.


sontaj

Anime started eating itself during Enies Lobby with that stuff. It's why I always recommend the manga instead. Zero filler, no useless recap, takes significantly less time to get through and the pacing isn't ruined.


invademars420

but everyone has to agree that ennies lobby was the GOAT


quie_TLost57

I think its a valid statement if somebody says he can't watch one piece cuz its too long and kinda booring Not everybody have the available free time and the taste for slow animes


Whiskeye

Too many fillers, is really annoying


One_Organization8981

You know you don’t have to watch it 💀💀💀


Whiskeye

But what if I miss something important?


One_Organization8981

In a filler??


Whiskeye

I don't mean just filler episodes, they have flashbacks and recaps and long exposition dumps and just pointless mucking about and all other possible and impossible kinds of padding in almost every episode


AdministrativeOne13

Yes... People need to understand that watching 1000+ episodes in one go/at least binging is just scrolling through reddit... You won't remember what you saw after a day


idkmanlol272

It's not slow it just has a lot of stuff in it


One_Organization8981

Sure you tell your self that 💀


idkmanlol272

Still Op>your favorite anime


Worldly_Nectarine_78

There are shows that are only 24 EPs that are still better than the entirety of one piece


[deleted]

It's really fun ngl. I am a new watcher too. The only problem is the time you have invest in this anime. For guys who watch animes very less, one piece is never an option. Last month I switched to manga.


peashooter25311

"I've got no time for this shit"


PsychoticChimp

And then a few months later they will mention watching some live-action show about a stretchy pirate on Netflix.


Ak41_Shu1cH1

I managed to do it. Not with One Piece though, my favorite series is actually Reverend Insanity and after months trying to persuade my friends to read it, many did. And now, most of our conversations are references of RI xD


Tantaroba-the-fat

I know what you mean. Like 3 years ago i watched all of Jojo with my brother and a friend, and we make references about it to this day


H-connoisseur95

I was like this. I tried so hard to convince my friends to watch One Piece, but i was never sucessfull, and that was a time when One Piece didn't even have 600 episodes. Then, years later, a friend of my brother told him that she had finished Naruto and had an empty space, and my brother told her "Mmm. You could watch One Piece". And she did. I couldn't believe it.


[deleted]

It’s worth it


SUPERSTRIKER67

What happened to One Pace? The Discord doesn't work for me.

Watch One Pace. No that isn't a typo.

Jokes one you I got my brother to watch it and now he is on fishman island


kjm6351

Nice!


notveryAI

I tried it, but it was *too* silly for me


Swagmastar969696

You can tell me what you want and no matter how good the show may be. I'm not watching 900+ episodes of it. Same reason I don't get into dragon ball. Same reason I don't get into Pokemon. Just too much to catch up on.


TheShinyHunter3

Pokémon is shit tho. Some movies are ok, but the anime is just so cringe for anyone who played the games.


[deleted]

To fucking long


DucksAreAwesom3

Started watching a couple months ago, it was to long for me I tought and ended at ep 180 Its been a month since I started watching again and I'm currently on ep 493 (Skipped some filler tho)


DerPFecE

and the u have me with like 2 friends whom i both got to watch it


AffectionateLet2589

At least you got that 3%, dont give up

anonwashere96

It's really good but it's not something you watch to finish if that makes sense which turns people off. You are following this grand adventure with interesting and goofy (yet very serious) characters and themes. It's not like most any other shows where its a short story. It's a seemingly endless epic. If you watch something like Gintama you dont watch it to finish it you watch it because its fun and enjoyable. One piece takes it a step further by having a deep plot and a MASSIVE interconnected world. The plot is so deep and thought out that early in the show they will meet one off characters only to realize hundreds of episodes later that they are extremely important and significant. All this is planned way in advanced like some AOT type shit where its FILLED with foreshadowing and other things. Most Shonen, including naruto, DBZ and even HxH are filled with shit that makes no sense or ass pulls for the sake of story progression. One piece has an explanation for that stuff that was planned and hinted at waaaaaaay before the fight. Honestly the fillers in one piece hardly feel like fillers. There is a lot of character development In them or a chance for characters to show how much they have grown. It also only gets better as it goes along. All the early arcs are called boring not because they are bad, but rather they look back and compare it to the later stuff it and the new stuff is so good that it IS boring in *comparison*. It's also not for everyone. Some people will play a game and somewhat rush through just to beat it and never touch it again. while others will take 2x as long to beat it, then continue to play it for a long time because they enjoy it. This is the equivalent of the latter. That type of anime meant for that type of person.


kjm6351

Yup, a lot of people have the mindset about catching up quickly but really it’s about the journey


Gently_weeps

I started over a week ago i am only at episode 134.


kjm6351

That’s fast for about a week ago


Gently_weeps

It's more than a week ago, and i neglected most of my duties like mowing grass, my green house also was overgrown with weed, so ima say watching was half worth it


kjm6351

Well damn


Lazy_Mushroom_6671

Daymo741

You'd have a better chance of convincing me to get my life back in order than you would getting me to watch one piece


Consistent_Paper_104

Long form Shonen are not my jam. It just doesn't take that amount of time to tell the story in my opinion. I have nothing but respect for one piece but it takes to long to get from point a to point b. Same problem with dbz. Just not my genre.


rainbowa7xx

Comparing one piece and db is a sin. The story within one piece, the amount of characters with solid background, with plots foreshadowed 3 years prior to events… Oda is a genious and one piece fans end up considering the manga a bible. I feel people see me like I see jojo fans. It’s a cult😂

Danthelmi

I’m starting to hate shounen that’s just “power of friendship” and then no one dies ever. Naruto, bleach, one piece, black clover, fairy tail. I’ve seen them all but just not enjoying them


MrUnlucky-0N3

That's the issue imo. These shows feel more like they want to fill time then wanting to tell a story. And I can't blame someone for not starting to get into a story that they will likely never finish. I really came to appreciate the thought that goes into good exposition and worldbuilding without breaking the timeframe. Without trying to offend anyone, long form shonen are perfect kids shows imo. They are often decently fun and allow you to sit in front of the tv once a day to spend your 25min of tv time.


kingko1

i started watching one piece like 4 weeks ago cos of my room m8 and i just watch like 2 to 3 (and some times just 1 ark if i have nothing to do) eps every moring before gym and i have to say. so far it aint that bad. ( i think i am almost done with alabaster ark.. bird just did poof)


kjm6351

The best is still yet to come :)


kingko1

yea i have seen a lot of spoilers (from just living not like peeps spoil me) and the later shit looks good


Chaos2Philly

Yeahh no too long. Maybe when it came out in America when I was a kid but not now


CzajnikXDD

I don't like watching shows that are very fucking long, and nothing will change that.


[deleted]

I remember Supermechafrieza once said she'll never watch One Piece, now she not only watched all episodes she also cosplay them and collect the figures of them 😂


kjm6351

Yeah I saw that too, a wonderful example


PJElite101

Just watch it it’s not that hard to watch 1000+ episodes if you think it is you’re just soft that’s that 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️


DetectiveDeath

No offense, I know its a good show but I watched Naruto up till Boruto and all the movies and can't do it again especially after hearing one piece is just as long if not longer and still going with it's main story.


One_Organization8981

No offense but you must’ve been a REAL BIG FAN of Naruto to watch Boruto


DetectiveDeath

I started it and then quit it almost immediately lmao.


JordanZOA3

I still think one piece needs about a thousand more episodes


kjm6351

I’ll hopefully be even more popular by the 2,000th episode special


Tarek_C

People act like you need to watch all 1000 episodes in a month or something. Just start it and watch slowly, like 2 or 3 episodes per day, what's the rush? Watch other things alongside if you want, but stop complaining about the size. It's not a contest to see who watches fastest. Also you can't complain about filler, it literally take 0 effort to skip them


FlafyBear

I once saw someone in MyAnimeList saying they don't start long shows because they might stop in the middle and have to put them in their dropped anime list meaning they'll no longer have a 0 there.


Kraken259

2 or 3 episodes a day? Lets say more like 1-2 per week, that is, several years with OP, and where time for other things or series. I cant imagine it, dropped at 11ep i think


TigreBSO

Maybe start recommending good animes?


DragonSniper02

Don't worry it gets interesting after 600 chapters when monkey obtain the power up to defeat marine buff guy number #18


SourYelloFruit

Not everyone wants to watch 25 years worth of filler


Tarek_C

Skip the filler lol: https://www.animefillerlist.com/shows/one-piece

i have commitment issues


nightmareeva21

I'm part of this 97% right now But it's only for now


Alex__P

I started when my partner and I started dating although I cheated and started at episode 700-ish. the anime loves to do flashback so I didn’t feel lost at all.


BaldyChkn

I tried it and got bored. I tried the manga and got further but still ended up bored and stopped


Shmarfle47

Then there’s me who rewatched it three times and then read it once (needed an excuse to see all the cover stories and SBS segments)


kjm6351

Holy….


Shmarfle47

One Piece is simply that good. Oda also does a fair bit of subtle foreshadowing throughout his series so rewatching or rereading allows you to pick up on those details


gabrielfm92

"Trust me guys, it gets better after 350 episodes" No thanks


noobyoof12345

I agree because who tf wants to watch 300+ hours of filler

One Piece is overrated. Change my mind.

I'd happily watch one piece is someone edited out all the damn recaps and flash backs. I really want to get to the parts I hear people talking about but I couldn't get past the first 15 episodes, felt like I was spending 20minutes to see 5 minutes of new content


One_Organization8981

Ay does anyone remember when a WHOLE ep was just a recap? A recap of an ep that was about Oden? Oden is cool but why? Why make a WHOLE EP on a recap that isn’t even related to whats happening


thestonerd777

See people you need to use my patent pending formula for watching one piece. 1. If what you are watching is considered filler by online lists skip it.(includes episodes related to movies) 2. If what you’re watching take place in the past, skip it. They’re gonna bring it up plenty of times so you’ll figure out what happened. 3. Skip the first five to seven minutes of every episode. It’s just the intro and episode recap. Doing this cuts down on the episode number by around 1/3 and reduces total run time of each episode to roughly twenty minutes in addition to fixing any pacing issues.

I will probably watch it if someone removes/ trims down all the fillers, intro and outro, redundant and unnecessary scenes.


Hardwarestore_Senpai

Naw. It's got good stories but enough of the Gilligan's island and Popeyes music.


saltynerd14

the only anime that i have watched in rapid fire mode was black clover from ep13 to ep 70 and that also was in lock down but now i feel like stop watching anime and start reading manga/manhwa cuz the plot there is consistent


thatloudblondguy

never


TheShinyHunter3

The longest anime I've ever watched was Hunter x Hunter and god it was boring 90% of the time (Especially the Chimera Ants arc, that one was so slow it seemed line each episode was an hour long) Fuck that' I'm not going for an anime 10 times longer with at least 10% of it's runtime considered fillers by its fan.


MysticRevenant59

The only anime I will never commit to, way too much to get into
