All this hasn't forced me into piracy.

It's worse than that.

It's forced me to stop caring about shows or movies entirely.

I was sort of like this before, not really caring too much about most movies or TV shows, but that was just because I had higher standards to what I would be willing to take the time to watch. When I did find something I thought was worth my time, like for instance Full Metal Alchemist (yes I know it's an anime, it still counts as a TV show imo. Also it's great, I definitely recommend watching it). The general decrease in quality and increase in quantity of shows and movies just made me stop caring to watch really anything; why take a chance with a likely shitty show or movie when I can get much more fun out of playing video games? I know there's likely some "hidden gem" kind of show that nobody really talks about because it's hidden away in all the crappy shows, so I usually only decide to watch something if I've heard good things about it more than once. Even then, I may still not watch it, like for instance One Piece, which I've heard is incredibly long.

Hi, One Piece fan here. Yes, it's really long and really intimidating to start. I haven't watch most of the anime too, and never recomment others to watch it. I'm solely reading the manga (and live action).

I suggest waiting for the netflix anime readaptation that's in production now. Logically, it should have better pace and much less filler than the first anime. It's gonna be way easier to pick up than the first anime with its thousand episodes.

I mean, it IS Netflix, so it shouldn't be presumed to be better in any way. Still, I will try pirating it first, rather than giving Netflix any money beforehand only to find out it's crap.
