I sometimes think I ought to start One Piece, but every time I think about starting, I'm reminded that:

  • I've kindof got a completionism problem and...
  • IT'S GOT LIKE 1,150 EPISODES HOLY FUCK

1,150 episodes at about 20 minutes of storytelling nets you about 380 hours. If you put in at least 10 hours a week, you could easily catch up in well under a year.

That tracks, actually. When I first started watching it took me about six months at that pace to catch up to the (at the time) current arc, which was Fishman Island.

Nowadays there's the One Pace project that makes it considerably easier

At this point I would consider just waiting for when the series gets reanimated in The One Piece.

Or read the manga. I watched the first 150 or so episodes before the pacing issues really started showing up, then made the switch to print media.

"One Pace" if that's too many episodes for you. It's good though. But it's also still airing......
