I am reading manga and watching one pace along side with you. Again I am not still sold on the show. But I have recently watched video from some youtuber and he said One Piece gets extremely good around chapter 400 of the manga (idk what episodes are these). And even before that there are great arcs. And honestly he sold me on this. The main strengths of One piece as I understood is its worldbuilding so I am ready for a long and amazing ride. And even this arc - I am reading manga of it and this Baratie arc is so much better than all previous arcs already. So I am happy that I can watch something with you for so long. P.S. And sorry for my english. I wrote so much more in the comment above more but decided to cut it all because of my english which is not very good :D I am really good at understanding english but not so much speaking and writing. Also please consider watching Monster! It's completely deifferent from anything you are watching right now! Masterpiece of an anime!

Baratie was the arc that truly made me a One Piece fan, and this is where my favorite character comes in, I love Sanji 🩷 (and before they start, yes, I'm up to date with the story and blah blah blah).

I think it's faulty to think of the show "getting good" at a certain point. OP only gets better as it goes on (especially with One Pace as the "bad" parts of the later episodes are all tied to filler and pacing). So there is no set point where it gets good so to say. If you like it ep 1 it will only get better, if you hate it ep 1, then you can see if it gets ok within the first 10 eps. but it's mostly an adventure show about freedom of being a pirate and the consequences that comes with that. But some people just like the "big fights" and yes those are cool an all, but if you only watch it for that - then you will be dissapointed. I know a few who only watch it for the fights, and they often end up in the "oh but at ep X it gets really good" and " then at ep Y it's so good". I am not telling anyone how to watch or enjoy it ofc, but my advice is that it is most enjoyable when you relax and let it be an adventure :)

26:55 "why is there a panda?" 🤣 FYI: Pandaman is a hidden background character in One Piece who looks like a man with a panda head. He was originally created by Eiichiro Oda as a joke character and now appears as a little easter egg in the manga panels and anime scenes, often just standing or walking in the background.

Chris

The Panda is Pandaman, he is randomly in the background of random episodes through the series. Like an easter egg where's waldo x)

Chris

You'll usually see him in crowds, like cities or enemy pirate crews

Morisith

Ok I am going to be honest; Teenage me? MASSIVE crush on Gin. My teens and 20's I was only into super skinny or sickly looking guys. Then it turns out I was hella gay/lesbian, so I was just looking for guys I wouldn't have to date for too long. maybe dark, but upon reflection it makes sense.

halastair

idk what are you talking about fights but from the episodes that i've seen animation is non existent. I know some of the later episodes are animated by the goats like vincent chansard but still. And I think it gets better since I really didn't like all the episodes and chapter up until baratie arc. So it gets better. I even kinda hated all the previous episodes! I am not even talking about fights!!!!

RCG

It doesn’t even have anything to do with the big and cool fights. Of course, you can’t pinpoint a certain moment and say “now it’s good” but as you said, it gets better over time and I think that’s true. You have to let the story, world, characters and all their connections grow and intertwine until it reaches that “now it’s good” moment for "you" and that differs for every person. Surely, there are also people who love it right from the start. I’m not even saying it’s bad early on but it’s also not super special by any means. The episode count is almost at a two cour show right now and we haven’t even assembled our core main cast yet. So yes, the pacing is slow, even early on. It’s just not 1999 anymore.

RCG

Not that I necessarily need it for myself but I agree that they should try to communicate their plans a bit more often, as it only happens very sporadically. The monthly schedule update they planned to do didn’t last very long. There are no polls because they will most likely put a few of the January anime into their schedule. And yes, everyone is waiting for Chainsaw but I never understand people crying in the comments and threatening to leave over whether or not a certain show is watched. If you like the content and/or want to support them, great. If not, just take a break.

Htatki

isekai slop fan. Not surprise. Please hit your head on the way out

Gelondil

Whether you like it or not, One Piece is a very mainstream anime. Besides Chainsaw Man, what other anime do you consider "mainstream" that they aren't watching? In the last few months I can count at least 7 anime that I would consider "mainstream" that W&S have watched. Like stuff that came out in 2025 or even 2026. What's missing?

Hængeklumpen

the reason why there isn't directly dead in the anime is because of censorship, in the manga people die, like alot. it gets less censored with time, but only fully follows the manga levels of violence in 800 episodes, so just imagine they die when watching ;)

Hængeklumpen

still waiting for them to watch dune part 2 :DDDDDDDDDDDDD

Hængeklumpen

one piece gets good and bad deppending on the arc. if you find this current resturant arc mid, wait until the next one arlong park. if you don't like that one i don't recomend you continue to read/watch.

Htatki

Who has the isekai slop avatar?

Akurogi Musai

Well, now that you’ve officially met Sanji, you can watch the intro and outro. “We Are” is legendary among OP fans and has multiple versions

Gelondil

I agree with the sentiment that it's a bad idea to say that One Piece "gets good" at a certain episode or whatever. Rather, I'd say the whole anime slowly grows as the worldbuilding and stakes climb. The "Peak" story arcs get taller and taller, and the slower story arcs are less boring and less frequent. A lot of other long-running shows suffer from the weight of their longevity and run out of story to tell, but One Piece somehow keeps improving past episode 1000. Which is kind of crazy.

Gelondil

@Htatki - Reincarnated as a Slime isn't "isekai slop", it's mainstream isekai. More importantly, it's pretty petty for anime fans to judge each other by their taste in anime and quite disgusting to wish ill will on someone who's opinion differs from yours. Please try and be a better person. - an Isekai slop fan

Bilal Rajput

you guys have to watch the one piece live action adaptaption on netflix. you will love it

Leonard Martinez

I think the "fight" with Pearl went on longer originally - appreciated the faster pacing here.

Cash

Just do that then. This has nothing to do with the show you're commenting on.

Bilal Rajput

im confused how is the pacing soo fast. wasnt mihawk supposed to come in ep 24?

Hængeklumpen

ye. or wounds on other characters. or in general problomatic scenes. ex: in these episodes when the old guy is taken hostage, in the manga they broke his pegleg. not sure why that wasn't included.

assaub

this is one pace, a fan made version that takes Toei's One Piece and cuts out all of their additions so the pacing aligns more with the manga, it has its pros and cons imo but, they seem to be enjoying the experience so far.

assaub

Pandaman was originally created by Oda when he entered a character design contest for the anime/manga Kinnikuman (Ultimate Muscle in NA). There is a little more info about it on the Kinnikuman wiki.

miles shepard

1:10:01 Big Nestle got to them!!!

Bilal Rajput

ahh ok thanks for clarifying. i thought i was crazy, i remember mihawk coming in episode 24 because it was such a memorable episode and seeing it here this early made me question my sanity and memory.

Htatki

It is isekai slop.

Zana

I would love for them to see it too

V

Jared Dudley

There’s almost no reason for them to know/feel this way, this is a spoiler. Delete this.

Hayate

Fighting the world strongest swordmaster at episode 18 in an anime with over 1000 episodes is like fighting the final boss while being level 5 haha

tata pipi

That's wild Sanji was my favourite growing up i thought he was so cool and had a massive crush on him growing up, but now I can see he has a simping problem still a cool character 😂

Ethereal

"in the manga people die" - Not really. It doesn't matter, anyways.

Htatki

Delete this

Hængeklumpen

ex: in this arc when Gin shoots the marine in the back he dies in the manga, in the anime he walks off screen after. as they pointed out in the reaction. it's chapther 44

assaub

Only after they reach the 300s in the anime imo, that S1 spoiler is too much imo

FuzionNinja

Not only is this a spoiler but also a really shitty take. So save yourself the embarrassment and delete this

V

So Sanji doesn’t have simping problem

V

Not really a spoiler I wasn’t specific about what he did, you just mad cause Sanji is your favorite

V

Why?

A Guy

I still don’t understand why they made his eyes yellow instead of red in the anime because it may potentially cause a problem later on involving something that’s potentially a spoiler. But considering how early in the stories’s life, this was made in can’t exactly blame them.

Kantzo

One Piece plays a lot with the idea of what family means. Curious to see how your thoughts evolve as the story goes on.

hussam abdelalim

I think A lot of color problems come from the manga being black and white. Colored manga is done much later, and not official; only official coloring comes from colored page spreads, so by the time the official coloring is out, the anime sticks to their version for some reason, even in future episodes

Bilal Rajput

nah they can watch it after the next arc. no need to wait that long.

Astor Lefflinker

A lot of people in the comments were making a big deal about Luffy's VA being the same VA as Turbo Granny. I guess that's understandable since most people in the West watched Dragon Ball in English dub. But to us who watched it in Japanese dub, the big deal is Luffy's VA is the same VA as Krillin's.

Astor Lefflinker

Watching these early episodes of OP reminds me that before Fujimoto, Oda paved the way to chaotic shonen writing.

Gelondil

I'm a firm believer that they should watch the Live Action, too, but I think they should wait. Not only is there the major plot spoiler assuab mentioned from Season 1, but by the time they finish the next arc, Season 2 will already be airing. Meaning they would have to stop watching the show halfway, or get even MORE spoilers. To be spoiler-free, while also conscientious of the LA release timing, the best time to watch might be just before Season 3 airs, so they can watch Season 3 fresh with all of us while the One Piece LA hype is fresh.
