The manga is way better paced for sure, and the anime pacing gets almost literally unwatchable ~700 episodes in. I do love the Japanese voice cast though, and there are moments I'd definitely recommend finding and watching the adaptations of once you've read them. You'll know them when you see them
If the length ever feels like a drag you can always take breaks after an arc, though I do recommend people first watch or read to the end of the East Blue saga at least (50ish episodes or 100ish chapters) so they can get a feel for when OP really starts hitting its stride
The East Blue saga is episodes 1 to 50? I might do that after my current watch
1-53 to be exact. Incidentally, OP also has a bunch of small filler arcs that are very skippable, the first one starting right after that in episode 54
Thanks! I'll give that a go!
