I started it on August 2024 and finally finished it yesterday,as well as caught up to the manga by today.Yeah,I am the type that can't wait.It was a nice experience overall,but initially at the start i thought,can I even watch this? Should I wait for the WIT adaptation? but I am 21 already and WIT will take at the very least full 10-12 years to cover all arcs.By then I'll be a grown up with a family and have a hectic work schedule,so why not try it,I have watched many Isekai garbage,so maybe,at the very least it won't be trash,like I had bare minimum expectations
...
and I always have the bare minimum expectations of anything in life,that is my way of life,cause if you live like this,life can surprise you and for this I must say it did.Now,my first point would be ,I did not expect to sob this much( like,I sobbed for a boat man...), honestly at the start it was unbearable,it seemed good when the story was flowing but the animation was making it hard to keep watching,until Alabasta,after which I became invested in it as more of an adventure story,which it actually is(In an adventure story payoffs come at a slow rate but it hits hard when it does)rather than a typical battle shonen(Payoffs and plot moves fast with new and stronger enemies one after the other)( I know it has those elements and plenty of it,but no battle shonen has ever focused on the small details and thrill and adventure part of the story than One piece has, meeting new people ,going new places and exploring almost different world ,especially after Marineford).So after Alabasta I enjoyed it to the fullest and just enjoyed the journey,I did get burnt out, stopping for a few days and then going cause I understood it's not a binge watching show, it'll take time and so I gave it the time.Now one thing to note is that although the story is grand and the world of One piece ever so vibrant and rich the pacing does get horrible and it's not the creator's fault, it's the company's.Many blame Oda,but he takes time for the plot to move in full motion and while doing so when the manga is animated,it looks like things keep on getting stalled.So as a new One piece fan i would say if you do start this magnificent story give it time,don't watch if you don't feel like watching,and stall it for a few days if you feel like you are getting burnt out,the plot does drag quite a bit.Or,you can wait for the WIT adaptation which will be an epic storytelling with no budget constraints and free flowing pace of the story and start your journey then.Now I won't say those things like this is a Masterpiece,peak or Oda cooks or whatever but I do implore you to join this amazing adventure and a grand story of epic proportions.You won't regret it.❤️❤️
