Look up One Pace, they cut most of the filler out so that it turns 1k+ into like 600. Highly highly recommend, One Piece is the most rewarding piece of media for sticking with it that I’ve ever watched.
Depending on how fast you can read, you could watch it at 3x to 4x speed and get done in under 4 months. I did it watching 20 episodes at night. I just read fast.
it’s a big ask for anyone so I’d recommend, if they’re open to it, reading the manga up until at least the end of the Arlong Park arc. I’d make the argument that’s the earliest point to determine whether OP is for you and continue the huge read/watch ahead.
If it is, I’d encourage you to read in sections based on arcs and revisit your personal favourite arcs in the anime. The thing with the anime is it’s mostly been weekly (limited budget and fluffing) so until the Wano arc (which has happened recently in it’s over 20 years syndication), the animation isn’t quite consistent.
I have more to say but wouldn’t want to overwhelm you but essentially it’s small steps and you’ll see what the fuss is about, especially since we’re nearing the endgame.
god, i want to get into one piece, but the 1000+ episodes are intimidating
