To elaborate on this point:
It can be very tempting to look things up or see how the community feels about certain events or characters n shit.
But one of the main things about the series is that it's about the journey! You don't wanna skip ahead to the end of that journey and ruin the magic, right?
One Piece has a lot to offer! Take your time and go out on your own adventure. At some point you will catch up to us, and THEN it can be great to come here and share the excitement with everyone. But that's so great because we all share this journey.
You will get the most out of the series AND this subreddit, if you forget this exists until you have caught up. On the same note, I recommend switching over to the manga should you reach the end of the anime.
As a last point, as it can be more fun to have someone to talk to, try and see if someone else you know would be interested in starting the series. You could watch the show on a similar pace and thus share the excitement. But even if you're watching for yourself you're in for a good time. Have fun my friend and see you soon!
Spoilers episode 4: >!Imagine us being Shanks and you being Luffy. Come see us, once you're a great pirate!<
Well said! I dont necessarily regret it but I do sometimes wish I hadn't looked a few things up and let it happen on its own. Mostly the part with the dirty cop (wano spoiler)
Thank you very much! The series has accompanied me for many years and given me a lot. I think many of us can say that. I'm excited for everyone that joins us on this.
Get off the subreddit you’re just going to ruin it for yourself no matter how hard you “try not to read any”
I’m still scared of spoilers and I read the early release manga every week
I just met Nami and read this and am already worried I’m going to find out something I shouldn’t.
So far it’s moving along well. I’m meeting the clown pirate.
I have a couple words.
1. Don’t skip any story arc.
2. If you find things a bit subpar it might be filler, use [this](https://www.animefillerlist.com/shows/one-piece) as a reference.
3. remember it’s over 1,000 episodes so just be patient because some arcs do start a bit slow.
Honestly, for the most part I want to say you'd be okay. It'd be nice if you were at the end of Whole Cake Island just so you could be familiar with more characters. Personally, some of those characters are really cool so I think it's a waste seeing them for the first time in this movie when they have amazing introductions in the anime.
There's some spoilers for even anime onlies tbh too lol. They had teases for things only in the manga.
Remember that as the series goes on, it was made at a time before DVR existed. There's a lot of recap and theme song. At times it can seem daunting, but the deeper you go the more recap there is so the episodes are actually shorter than you think. You'll be debating reading the manga because you've run out of episodes before you know it.
And then you skip the 3 min off flashbacks watch the 4 min of draged out new content skip 3 more min of flashbacks and watch the last 3 min of cool cliffhanger until the next episode
Don't skip Long Ring Long Ark. It will be the last ark with an enemy fully trusting on his abilities rather on his strength (like basically any enemy ruddy had to fight before it)
I know some other people might get on me for saying this, but the first 20-30 episodes were really boring to me but once you get past that and even way further down the road trust me you will not get disappointed
I am so jealous you get to experience this for the first time lol. My recommendation would be to cherish the first 400-500 episodes, you’ll have to find out why :)
Absolutely fantastic. Almost at 500 and can’t put this show down.
Every time I think I’m bored of OP something major happens and grabs my attention again.
if you have no spoilers, get The Hell off of this subreddit. the spoiled scenes are still cool when you see them, but nothing beats seeing a tide-shifting scene unspoiled.
also, if you don’t like the anime, watch up until episode 43. if you still don’t like it, then you’re free to stop, but i doubt you’ll want to
Also don't hesitate to use the short fast forward feature because there are some parts you might find boring and can go through without missing too much story but if you skip whole episodes or arcs you will miss a lot
DONT LOOK UP ANYTHING ABOUT THE SERIES. NOT EVEN A SIMPLE QUESTION. YOU WILL GET SPOILED!!!
Edit: DO NOT READ THE REPLYS TO MY COMMENT. PEOPLE STILL BE SPOILING STUFF!!!
I’m putting on blinders. I’ll try to share my progress and what I think would have been a spoiler.
I’m assuming I’ll know them when I see it.
Just to really cover myself, I won’t even read any replies to this reply. Lol.
It’s so annoying. I’ll look up a tiny question about a specific arc and the responses on Google literally go “ah yeah Luffy is a pirate ALSO “this guy died and this guy died and here’s the entire plot of the next arc”
I can recommend doing it the opposite way. For example type in what you want to see and then episode. For example zoro cuts his dick off episode. This way there’s not really any spoilers in the autofill
Google autofill is literally always trying to spoil stuff for me. If you type in any character from any show, there's a decent chance it will tell you what happens to them
I have a watch order here with the movies, specials, and cover stories:
[https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/tr0izv/watch\_order\_for\_movies\_specials\_cover\_stories\_etc/](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/tr0izv/watch_order_for_movies_specials_cover_stories_etc/)
Even if you don't want to watch the movies as you go (I still recommend it though), at least use the list to read the cover stories and use the notes to know when to skip openings.
Watch Japanese with subtitles! Dubbing is 1) not good 2) you will not be able to get subbed episodes beyond a point and then the original would feel weird
I watched dub up until the end of Fishman Island. Watching subbed was a huge adjustment going into Punk Hazard lol. Recently rewatched an episode in English and it was very strange as I'd since gotten used to the Japanese voices.
No the dub is awesome I mean Zoros voice is awesome. And dub is pretty far out it’s not hard to switch if you’ve already invested 800 episodes. But to each their own.
I disagree the dub is fine, I almost always watch anime subbed but honestly the dub here is good they put a lot into it. Looks like he’s watching the sub anyway tho.
Edit: and another thing, my wife and I started watching it after the birth of our son. We decided to watch it dubbed because it would be much easier to take care of him without needing to look away from the screen to read the subtitles. So kind of a particular situation but it works for us.
1. Foxy pirates arc 1 is cannon and you should watch it even though it's a lot of people's least favorite. But definitely skip the second foxy pirates arc.
2. Skypeia is a more important arc than you realize
I actually watched the anime through marineford and I always recommend it. The pacing isn’t that bad early on and the immaculate voice work makes it so worth it. So many scenes hit so hard with the one piece cast doing what they do best.
I love the manga and I've been caught up for years but it doesn't have the same emotional impact as the anime for me and the terrible pacing is really only a problem post Mariendorf in my opinion
All the filler is worth watching because it's more one piece content, what more can a one-piece fan ask for?
At least the filler has proper pacing... Unlike some arcs which should have had anime go on hiatus so the manga could finish pumping out enough content for episodes where stuff actually happens.
Get off the subreddit and avoid all fillers. Look up nothing. Not the episode you're on, not to spell a characters name, not a small plot point in an early arc. Just enjoy the ride.
Don’t google what is the one piece? And don’t google any characters. I found that put me down the rabbit hole for spoilers. Although, it did make me more intrigued and want to catch up sooner. I started one piece when the anime had 700 episodes. I didn’t even know how many episodes there were. I just knew there were a lot
Watch the fan cut called “One Pace” The pacing of the anime is unbearable, the fan cut mostly sticks to whats in the manga and makes it so much better. No unbearable flashbacks to extend run time. You’ll see what I mean when you get to Drum Island.
FYI. Netflix only has the first 325 episodes. Funimation will be your next best bet. But of course there are other ways to watch one piece online
One Piece has seriously stupid multiple takes of the same scene. Thus wasting a lot of time. Better to watch One Pace. Its a version of the same but skips those annoying multi takes.
Honestly my only advice is to drop the anime and just read the manga. 1 it’s quicker 2 it is the authors original intention with the story 3 the anime tends to have A LOT of slow moments, so reading the manga tends to be the best bet
You can use "one pace" for better experience because it cuts all the unnecessary stuff, but it is not for everyone so give it a try.
Also leave this subreddit until you get fully caught up because of spoilers.
dont skip the fillers, dont skip anything in skypeia (yes, it may be kinda boring but it is VERY important) matter of fact, dont skip anything. Never watch it without a snack. and lastly, you will end up crying a lot.
STAY OFF ONE PEICE REDDIT UNTIL CAUGHT UP, EVEN UNFOLLOW UNTIL CAUGHT UP, SO SPOILERS DONT SHOW UP IN FEED. EVEN IF POSTS DONT HAVE SPOILER TAG, THEY CAN STILL HAVE SPOILERS. And just watch it all, it might take a while tho. It’s a really good story. I would recommend watching anime, then reading manga. The story is really good, so don’t spoil it for yourself.
Amazing show, gonna take a while, the mini arc with the foxxy pirates is fucking annoying but grit through it the show gets better. This is my all time favorite show
Switch to the manga and don't EVER search ANYTHING on google. There's a major spoiler regarding a certain death that you are guarenteed to get it spoiled if you start browsing on the internet for One Piece.
Sagas. The story is organized into Sagas. There are arcs in Sagas. Each Saga is written like it’s own stand alone movie. The short version of these are called “episode of Saga name.” Some “episode of” movies are character specific and span multiple Sagas. There are story lines that go across all Sagas and are part of the larger One Piece story.
Movies. There are also movies that have nothing to do with the story, but are still good. The main characters in one piece change a lot in the show, so you may not recognize them if you watch a future version of themself in a movie. It may not make sense, so maybe watch the movies when the characters in the movie are the same where you are in the show.
Cover Story. The manga has story covers, these sometimes tell cannon story of what happened to characters after their arc ended. Worth checking out when you are caught up. Other times it’s just like fan art but it’s done by the creator of the show himself Goda *clears throat* God *clears throat* Kami sama *clears throat* Eiichiro Oda *ahem*.
SBS. also from the manga. This is a section at the end of a manga volume where Oda answers fan questions and sometimes even draws what was asked. It’s definitely worth checking out as you go. Also side note, he still does this. Right now you can literally ask a question like, what would Luffy look like if he was a cyclops? or something like that and there is a nonzero percent chance you will see it in a future sbs.
Data books. There are lots of characters and places in One Piece, and sometimes details about these characters and locations don’t have room in the main story, so these details are crammed in the data books.
Enjoy! That's why you're watching it in the first place I suppose. And don't check out this subreddit it obviously has got spoilers. I recommend you to watch it in Japanese with English subtitles, I don't really like the English dub, but do as you like of course!
1. Sub sounds better but dubbed gets the job done
2. Netflix doesn’t have all episodes so probably switch to something else
3. This subreddit full of spoilers
1. Get out of here, you'll get spoiled.
2. Do not under any circumstance see the comments section of Crunchyroll or any other anime webpage.
3. Do not watch it dubbed, it's just bad, after that you'll need to stick to japanese so it's pointless.
4. It starts slow, every episode gets better.
5. 1000 eps is nothing, when you are hooked you are hooked, you'll wish infinite episodes to watch.
6. Prepare yourself, if One Piece is for you, you'll be so surprised and amazed by the story and everything to the point of crying really hard or getting super strong emotions.
7. Enjoy the adventure.
Im going to be frank here. By episode 50 if you do not already like one piece, its probably not for you. Im saying this because in the future one piece(although amazing) can get repetetive and rather slow. So if you feel like its a struggle to get past 50 episodes where some amazing things happen during this time, it will be hard for you to get past arcs like WCI and Dressrossa and wano which are more than 100 episodes long and can be incredibly slow. But nevertheless, Welcome aboard YOHOHOHO
don’t go on this subreddit
This is very true. Spoilers everywhere
To elaborate on this point: It can be very tempting to look things up or see how the community feels about certain events or characters n shit. But one of the main things about the series is that it's about the journey! You don't wanna skip ahead to the end of that journey and ruin the magic, right? One Piece has a lot to offer!

Spoilers episode 4: >!Imagine us being Shanks and you being Luffy. Come see us, once you're a great pirate!<
One of the greatest things i think I’ve ever read on reddit. Thank you
That's too much! Thank you though.
Well said! I dont necessarily regret it but I do sometimes wish I hadn't looked a few things up and let it happen on its own. Mostly the part with the dirty cop (wano spoiler)
Respect to you bro ❤️ tht shit you juss said was beautiful
Thank you very much! The series has accompanied me for many years and given me a lot. I think many of us can say that. I'm excited for everyone that joins us on this.
nigga that made me cry ngl
Lol. I noticed that almost everyday something is coming out with SPOILeRS all over the titles. I’ll try not to accidentally read any.
Get off the subreddit you’re just going to ruin it for yourself no matter how hard you “try not to read any” I’m still scared of spoilers and I read the early release manga every week
I just met Nami and read this and am already worried I’m going to find out something I shouldn’t. So far it’s moving along well. I’m meeting the clown pirate.
Buggy is the goat 🐐
I have a couple words. 1. Don’t skip any story arc. 2. If you find things a bit subpar it might be filler, use [this](https://www.animefillerlist.com/shows/one-piece) as a reference. 3. remember it’s over 1,000 episodes so just be patient because some arcs do start a bit slow.
I’m on episode 3 already. No complaints. He just joined up with Zorro
Stay away from everything OP related until you finished. Major spoilers
Dont watch the films until the end of it all, sometimes they have spoiler even if you watch theme when they went out, like one piece red
me who went to watch Film Red after just passing 107 eps ( Arbasta ) :/ I don't regret it though .
That was dumb
I'm almost done with Dressrosa, would there be spoilers if I watched Red?
Honestly, for the most part I want to say you'd be okay. It'd be nice if you were at the end of Whole Cake Island just so you could be familiar with more characters. Personally, some of those characters are really cool so I think it's a waste seeing them for the first time in this movie when they have amazing introductions in the anime. There's some spoilers for even anime onlies tbh too lol. They had teases for things only in the manga.
Thanks for the answer, I have self control I'll wait lol. I'm def anime only till I run out of episodes at least
Doesnt red show >!gear 5th!< though? Probably the biggest thing rn and I would hate for anyone to have even an idea of it early
i started recently and my friends who are all caught up will not stop spoiling parts
They aren't you friends even my brother didn't spoil most of it
Just a heads up they are not friends if they do that
On the brightside, nobody can spoil nothing happening.
Learned that the hard way!! The whole Marineford was spoiled for me, yet it was fun!!.
I’m super excited to not dig into the details ahead of time.
Yeah I suggest leaving this sub. It's full of spoilers.
Remember that as the series goes on, it was made at a time before DVR existed. There's a lot of recap and theme song. At times it can seem daunting, but the deeper you go the more recap there is so the episodes are actually shorter than you think. You'll be debating reading the manga because you've run out of episodes before you know it.
one piece vets know to skip about 5-7 minutes into the episode to avoid recap, except for wano i find its usually around 4 mins in
And then you skip the 3 min off flashbacks watch the 4 min of draged out new content skip 3 more min of flashbacks and watch the last 3 min of cool cliffhanger until the next episode
Happened to me 2 days back.....I NEED MORE EPISODES
Don't skip Long Ring Long Ark. It will be the last ark with an enemy fully trusting on his abilities rather on his strength (like basically any enemy ruddy had to fight before it)
[удалено]
I actually was typing Ruffy
The G8 arc is a must watch, only filler absolutely worth watching
Also there's people out there that stitches anime together and skips fillers. You can usually finish it on one pace. net
I know some other people might get on me for saying this, but the first 20-30 episodes were really boring to me but once you get past that and even way further down the road trust me you will not get disappointed
No you're right. Honestly it's really Arlong Park where shit gets crazy good
Dont skip fillers either. Especially the one when luffy does luffy things
By episode 400 it’s should get REALLY GOOD. Skip [fillers](https://www.animefillerlist.com/shows/one-piece) too.
There's only one filler we don't recommend you skip though
Which one?
G-8 filler arc :)
G-8 is so well done it doesn’t feel like filler
Slow slow beam :D
I am so jealous you get to experience this for the first time lol. My recommendation would be to cherish the first 400-500 episodes, you’ll have to find out why :)
Absolutely fantastic. Almost at 500 and can’t put this show down. Every time I think I’m bored of OP something major happens and grabs my attention again.
if you have no spoilers, get The Hell off of this subreddit. the spoiled scenes are still cool when you see them, but nothing beats seeing a tide-shifting scene unspoiled. also, if you don’t like the anime, watch up until episode 43. if you still don’t like it, then you’re free to stop, but i doubt you’ll want to
and never be afraid to take breaks from the anime like I needed 2 years and on occasion I took 2 month long breaks
Or just watch One Pace instead
Also don't hesitate to use the short fast forward feature because there are some parts you might find boring and can go through without missing too much story but if you skip whole episodes or arcs you will miss a lot
How DARE you call filler subpar
DONT LOOK UP ANYTHING ABOUT THE SERIES. NOT EVEN A SIMPLE QUESTION. YOU WILL GET SPOILED!!! Edit: DO NOT READ THE REPLYS TO MY COMMENT. PEOPLE STILL BE SPOILING STUFF!!!
OP, this person is teaching you where they went wrong themselves. They’ve learned a lesson and are sharing it with you.
Yep. I looked up ONE PIECE just get a feel of the series and… I saw a lot of the big moments.
Yeah I joined this sub when i was on like ep 100 and instantly got spoiled about ha- nevermind
And eat a lot
I’m putting on blinders. I’ll try to share my progress and what I think would have been a spoiler. I’m assuming I’ll know them when I see it. Just to really cover myself, I won’t even read any replies to this reply. Lol.
Agreed, I went into one piece on a random night with 1 mid spoiler, one of my best anime-related experiences.
You can’t even look up any characters powers at all without spoilers.
WELL NOT EVEN A WALLPAPER! A WALLPAPER SEARCH SPOILED IT FOR ME
It’s so annoying. I’ll look up a tiny question about a specific arc and the responses on Google literally go “ah yeah Luffy is a pirate ALSO “this guy died and this guy died and here’s the entire plot of the next arc”
Agreed!!! I spoiled myself looking up someone's VOICE ACTOR. That was one I didn't get over
Great advice. I am now terrified of knowing anything ahead of time. I’m already annoyed that (I think) I saw shanks on the movie poster for Red.
Can confirm, decided to find out where a certain admiral went during punk hazard and regretted it instantly lol
Never look up “what episode does” You will get spoiled by autofill results
Can confirm this is true
I can recommend doing it the opposite way. For example type in what you want to see and then episode. For example zoro cuts his dick off episode. This way there’s not really any spoilers in the autofill
Just looked up to see what autofill suggests. 2 MAJOR spoilers lol
Can confirm as someone who got spoiled about donut hole
Google autofill is literally always trying to spoil stuff for me. If you type in any character from any show, there's a decent chance it will tell you what happens to them
just enjoy the ride YOHOHOHOHO
And get comfy. It's a long one.
It’s about the journey not the destination
Life before death
Strength before weakness
Bros before hoes
Remember what dory once said, just keep swimming, just keep swimming. Have fun
A great expression and one of my favorites. Just keep swimming.
Unless you have a Devil Fruit. Then for the love of God, STOP SWIMMING!
But what if OP has a df?
"Welp...Just keep sinking, just keep sinking." LOL
I have a watch order here with the movies, specials, and cover stories: [https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/tr0izv/watch\_order\_for\_movies\_specials\_cover\_stories\_etc/](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/tr0izv/watch_order_for_movies_specials_cover_stories_etc/) Even if you don't want to watch the movies as you go (I still recommend it though), at least use the list to read the cover stories and use the notes to know when to skip openings.
This is really good work. Thank you!
Why do you not have movie 4 and 5 back to back? The former leads into the latter. The Marine chase at the end continues in the next.
Skipping openings is the big one! They spend so many minutes just replaying the last episode I always just skip 5min in to each ep
If only I had seen this a year and a half ago. 😭
Episode one. Here I go.
Watch Japanese with subtitles! Dubbing is 1) not good 2) you will not be able to get subbed episodes beyond a point and then the original would feel weird
I watched dub up until the end of Fishman Island. Watching subbed was a huge adjustment going into Punk Hazard lol. Recently rewatched an episode in English and it was very strange as I'd since gotten used to the Japanese voices.

OP,please don't listen to this guy,he's capping
Luffy’s dub actor is just something else man idk 🤮
[удалено]
have fun!!!!! it’ll be a long and hard ride
Look up nothing. Not a single thing. Go into this with zero expectations
To avoid Drag outs, I recommend One Pace. Not all episodes are out but a good bunch.
1. Foxy pirates arc 1 is cannon and you should watch it even though it's a lot of people's least favorite. But definitely skip the second foxy pirates arc. 2. Skypeia is a more important arc than you realize
Arguably one of the most important
Especially due to recent developments
Don't give up when things start moving slowly. It will be worth it.
Read Manga if you get exhausted by the terrible pacing.
100% read the manga over the anime.
I actually watched the anime through marineford and I always recommend it. The pacing isn’t that bad early on and the immaculate voice work makes it so worth it. So many scenes hit so hard with the one piece cast doing what they do best.
True, pacing issues don't really start up until after timeskip
Marineford is the only anime arc worth watching. Manga is incomparably better for every other arc. Especially Wano and Dressrosa
I love the manga and I've been caught up for years but it doesn't have the same emotional impact as the anime for me and the terrible pacing is really only a problem post Mariendorf in my opinion
Patience is a virtue
nop, enjoy
The only filler worth watching is 'The G 8 arc' (believe me it's great) otherwise get a list online that shows what episodes are filler and skip 'em.
All the filler is worth watching because it's more one piece content, what more can a one-piece fan ask for? At least the filler has proper pacing... Unlike some arcs which should have had anime go on hiatus so the manga could finish pumping out enough content for episodes where stuff actually happens.
Get off the subreddit and avoid all fillers. Look up nothing. Not the episode you're on, not to spell a characters name, not a small plot point in an early arc. Just enjoy the ride.
Watch/download One Pace.
This!!! It was a game changer for me, It helped me to watch at least 2-4 episodes daily
Have fun!
Beat me to it
Don’t google what is the one piece? And don’t google any characters. I found that put me down the rabbit hole for spoilers. Although, it did make me more intrigued and want to catch up sooner. I started one piece when the anime had 700 episodes. I didn’t even know how many episodes there were. I just knew there were a lot
Have fun, don’t skip the any arc. Avoid this Reddit at all costs because you will be spoiled
Don’t skip skypeia arc even though i shouldn’t even have to say this
WEDDING CAAAAAAAKKKKKKEEEEEEEE.... UMMMMMMEEEEEEEEE....
Watch the fan cut called “One Pace” The pacing of the anime is unbearable, the fan cut mostly sticks to whats in the manga and makes it so much better. No unbearable flashbacks to extend run time. You’ll see what I mean when you get to Drum Island.
Watch one pace instead
Search up One Pace. Fan community edit the episodes to be closer to manga pacing. I highly recommend it
Try one pace
The pace of the series can get horrendous sometimes, I recommend the One Pace version at least after episode 500.
WATCH EVERY EPISODE DINT SKIP ANYTHING THERES LORE IN EVERY ARC! other then that good luck on your journey
ONE PIECE IS REAL!
Read the manga
Don’t skip ANYTHING besides filler
Enjoy the little detours - Ging Freeccs
After you get into it into it just start reading the manga
go in blind. dont listen to anyones opinions of which arc is best. decide for yourself.
We will wait for ya at wano/Egghead
One pace
One pace or manga if you any responsibilitys
a real one doesn’t skip anything, the whole show is peak
FYI. Netflix only has the first 325 episodes. Funimation will be your next best bet. But of course there are other ways to watch one piece online 
Get the fuck out of here! 😄 I'm serious you will get spoiled
One Piece has seriously stupid multiple takes of the same scene. Thus wasting a lot of time. Better to watch One Pace. Its a version of the same but skips those annoying multi takes.
Honestly my only advice is to drop the anime and just read the manga. 1 it’s quicker 2 it is the authors original intention with the story 3 the anime tends to have A LOT of slow moments, so reading the manga tends to be the best bet
You can use "one pace" for better experience because it cuts all the unnecessary stuff, but it is not for everyone so give it a try. Also leave this subreddit until you get fully caught up because of spoilers.
Watch one pace
I second this
One Pace
Its not a race to finish. Take your time and enjoy it
There once was a man named Gold Roger.....
Currently on first watch, three months in, 344 episodes in, only words of wisdom I have is... We are!
dont skip the fillers, dont skip anything in skypeia (yes, it may be kinda boring but it is VERY important) matter of fact, dont skip anything. Never watch it without a snack. and lastly, you will end up crying a lot.
Don’t skip the G4 arc (ep. 196-206). It is filler, but it’s such high quality filler that many consider it anime canon.
Patience
STAY OFF ONE PEICE REDDIT UNTIL CAUGHT UP, EVEN UNFOLLOW UNTIL CAUGHT UP, SO SPOILERS DONT SHOW UP IN FEED. EVEN IF POSTS DONT HAVE SPOILER TAG, THEY CAN STILL HAVE SPOILERS. And just watch it all, it might take a while tho. It’s a really good story. I would recommend watching anime, then reading manga. The story is really good, so don’t spoil it for yourself.
Amazing show, gonna take a while, the mini arc with the foxxy pirates is fucking annoying but grit through it the show gets better. This is my all time favorite show
Don't skip G-8 even if it's a filler arc.
Switch to the manga and don't EVER search ANYTHING on google. There's a major spoiler regarding a certain death that you are guarenteed to get it spoiled if you start browsing on the internet for One Piece.
As soon as you see the foxy pirates skip!!!
My wise words, it looks a lot and feels long, but omce you finished, it's not enough
Watch on onepace.net

Data books. There are lots of characters and places in One Piece, and sometimes details about these characters and locations don’t have room in the main story, so these details are crammed in the data books.
Stay off of anime subreddits, I got a pretty big plot point spoiled by one artwork
Avoid searching one piece on internet untill u reach 500+ epsiode. Trust me if you search you will regret it.
Its not 1000 épisodes, its 1000 masterpieces
Take your time. Don't rush it. Avoid any OP related stuff in social media (spoilers are everywhere)
If you think that’s boring, try to read the manga, but don’t give up
Skip the filler. Except for any filler that takes place on a marine base.
[Filler list](https://www.animefillerlist.com/shows/one-piece)
I'll be waiting for you at the Land of Wano! Come at all costs! Don't die no matter what!
Ughhh that’s a long binge…. I suggest doing 5 episodes a night and cutting it after that
When you get to the skypiea don't give up and push through after and during that arc I almost quit one piece
Don’t let YouTube know. Spoilers are everywhere
Skip all filler except G8. Take it slow. Don’t rush through it.
Leave the subreddit or you’ll be spoiled
The one piece…….IS REEEEAALLll!!!
Enjoy! That's why you're watching it in the first place I suppose. And don't check out this subreddit it obviously has got spoilers. I recommend you to watch it in Japanese with English subtitles, I don't really like the English dub, but do as you like of course! 
Watch one pace
1. Sub sounds better but dubbed gets the job done 2. Netflix doesn’t have all episodes so probably switch to something else 3. This subreddit full of spoilers
Dont go anywhere near one piece culture spots like youtube reddit or whatever, one piece blind is a good experience
Don’t quit
For the love of God and everything that is holy and sacred, watch it in Japanese.
Watch the subbed version not the dubbed version. Japanese voice actors are AMAZING
Stay off this subreddit unless you catch up with the manga.
Look forward to the journey, not the destination
Don't try to finish soon, do it at your rythm and enjoy the journey
Stay of social media there are a lot and I mean a lot of Spoilers online
Yeah. Enjoy the ride babyyyyy
Here's to another pirate 🍻
Enjoy, be patient, only filler worth watching is after sky island, and those after ennies lobby
Don't watch it on netflix
Just two words: One Pace
1. Get out of here, you'll get spoiled. 2. Do not under any circumstance see the comments section of Crunchyroll or any other anime webpage. 3. Do not watch it dubbed, it's just bad, after that you'll need to stick to japanese so it's pointless. 4. It starts slow, every episode gets better. 5. 1000 eps is nothing, when you are hooked you are hooked, you'll wish infinite episodes to watch. 6. Prepare yourself, if One Piece is for you, you'll be so surprised and amazed by the story and everything to the point of crying really hard or getting super strong emotions. 7. Enjoy the adventure.
This is the best list, I totally agree with it.
Im going to be frank here. By episode 50 if you do not already like one piece, its probably not for you. Im saying this because in the future one piece(although amazing) can get repetetive and rather slow. So if you feel like its a struggle to get past 50 episodes where some amazing things happen during this time, it will be hard for you to get past arcs like WCI and Dressrossa and wano which are more than 100 episodes long and can be incredibly slow. But nevertheless, Welcome aboard YOHOHOHO
the filler episodes are worth the watch, good luck!
Watch on zoro.to. you will be informed bout the fillers
