Honestly, the anime isn't even good. Like, I'm still reading the manga, but I had to stop watching the anime something like 10 years ago.
I've heard it has gotten better since then, but watching the whole thing still includes years worth of episodes so thinly streched you could probably watch every third one without missing anything. And that's on top of arcs so long, they are even a slog to read through (Dressrosa and Wano).
I agree, actually.
The quality is monstrously inconsistent, and even though the animation is at times absolutely mind-blowing in newer episodes (look up some clips, its amazing) the SFX department is still working with what are now ancient audio samples, which for me, still ruins it.
Ok so I know that this is controversial, but if I recommend One Piece to a new person I recommend the live action. I know it has its flaws, BUT, it cleans up the pacing issues that I had in the early series. It honestly feel way more accessible than the daunting +1000 episodes, that’s not a binge watch, that’s a depressive episode.
Yeah, that is controversial.
Since, if you just want to get into it, they literally did a movie version of the beginning of the story called "Episode of East Blue", which IIRC is pretty good.
It's a very compressed re-telling of the East Blue saga, and skips stuff like Logue Town, but it's well acted, animated and scored. And isn't live-action.
