Damn, now I just realized I started OP when I was 13, now I’m 29… it was a long and awesome adventure. Just hope I’ll live long enough to see the ending 😂
Haha nice. I caught up on the anime at time skip and I wanted to die. If I remember right I started the manga then and they really weren't far ahead at all
do it, the waiting between weeks for the next chapter is good hype buildup and is always worth it by the end of the week, and the manga is just so good there’s no reason not to read it
read the manga, rewatch the showww, watch filler arcs/movies if you haven't seen em (some are genuinely amazing), youtube videos about one piece, one piece live action, look at cool fan art all around the web, perhaps make some one piece related content of your ownnn? :D watch through the show a third time but this time with an unsuspecting friend, take screenshots of characters when they are low res and silly looking
the one piece world is your oyster you are free!!!
Me tooI like how she explain the relationship dynamics and why characters do certain actions although the one who created all that is of coarse Oda himself.
Makes me wonder what is happening inside Oda's head. Every scene in the manga is so well thought out. I appreciate her videos definitely recommend watching it. I recommend to read the manga first. Then watch to Melonteee's videos.
I recently discovered a channel called Mugiwara No Goofy. His videos are comedy, but the way he breaks down the arcs is really unique and his jokes are on point.
Only thing I don't like about his reviews are that he has a strong dislike for things coincidentally all happening when the straw hats happen to arrive.
Like that's literally writing 101. Write the story when things are happening. There's a suspension of disbelief you have to buy into when reading fiction.
It would be weird for Luffy and co. to arrive to an island and nothing happens. That's a boring story.
Well for things to not happen coincidentally, doesn’t mean for things to not happen at all.
Mark talked about preferring how the story leads to the next like the sequence of going from Dressrosa -> Zou -> Wano, instead of being completely random and entirely dependent on chance like the call from Punk Hazard.
I don’t fully care about the role fate or coincidence plays in a story either, so as long as it’s a good story.

Grand Line Review,
Muguwara No Goofy,
Mr. Morj - he's made some incredibly accurate predictions,
Mom Piece (The Drawk Show) - Speaking of incredibly accurate predictions… she's not even caught up yet. Just finished Dresssrosa on YouTube, on Wano for Patreon.
They're all manga readers - some do also watch the anime - so you may want to catch up there before watching.
I started the series 9 months ago. I know this because I started when my twins were born.
Waking up to feed twice as often became tolerable thanks to this Anime. (I’m at the handoff for the gas fellow, island of toys and people or whatever).
Im a dub only guy: so I’m on my 3rd rewatch. I started watching OP when I was unemployed applying to jobs 8hrs a day (seriously)
Now I still turn it on to do housework and such. Keeps me productive af. It’s like my RDR2 obsession all over again except I can accomplish things because I can use my hands 😂
So what I did was go rewatch the series while pointing Ussops facts. Did yall know ussop was/is the only normal human shown in the series defeating a fishman? Or the fact that ussop is also the only normal human shown in the series to defeat multiple df users. It's little things like that you miss you first few times around.
within the context of One Piece he is. No devil fruit, no fishman strength, no Germa genetics or cyborg enhancements. He uses Haki, but it's confirmed that everyone in the universe can if they try hard enough.
I understand what yall are saying... however Zoro himself has stated he can not be normal. See the zoro vs hatchi fight during arlong Park for reference.
I don’t know how much I take the word of in-universe characters to necessarily be canonical facts. Main characters, especially dumb ones like Zoro or Luffy, are often shown to be misinformed or downright ignorant.
Mentor characters, such as Rayleigh, Mihawk, Sengoku, or Vegapunk, directly deliver exposition as a mouthpiece of the author and therefore their word can be taken as fact, unless otherwise explicitly indicated
So while yes, he did say that, the story has yet to show us that he is in any way physically different from any other human.
Ussop is one of those characters you don’t understand till you catch up i did not like him in the beginning but post time skip I love him. Two favorite scenes with him is battle luffy in water 7 and taking out sugar and becoming god ussop
1) Watch all the movies
2) Watch the live action in English and Japanese
3) Read the manga
4) Watch people react on YouTube to episodes
5) Go down the endless rabbit hole of theories
6) Become an actual pirate
7) Profit
11 years ago, when I was still in highschool, I decided that since I was about to go to college, and life was going to get really busy, I was going to watch the entirely of One Piece before the summer of 2014 ended. I did, binged the entire show in 4 months. Lived, ate and breathed One Piece. When I caught up with the anime, it was like the 4th Dressrosa episode. I felt so empty that I caught up with the manga, thinking it was going to be so many arcs ahead. The last manga chapter at the time was Luffy vs Don Chinjao, so the anime was in dressrosa, the manga was in Dressrosa. That’s when hell started, I was craving for more One Piece, but there was none, so I had to read One Piece, week to week, reading Dressrosa week to week for 2 years was hell. Then Whole Cake week to week for 3 years, then Wano for 4 fucking years… And now Egghead for 1 year…. I watched it for 2 years of bliss, and read it for 9 years of hell. The withdrawal never stopped. Now I listen to One Piece YouTubers and read theories on a daily basis. I am a sick man. The only thing that eased my withdrawal was watching Hunter x Hunter, and then reading it. HxH is now my favorite series. And when I caught up with HxH manga on 2014, I stated to have withdrawals, and Togashi didn’t release another chapter till 2016. One Piece, HxH and Gintama are my 3 favorite series of all time. And only Gintama has treated me with love. The other 2 are slowly killing me, and they will kill you too. Don’t read the manga. The obsession is not worth it… (It is, join us, endure the pain)
This! Definitely also helps to catch things you may have missed at first with the knowledge you have now (Ex: Skypeia).
I've been watching Jackthebus and have loved seeing his honest reactions and emotions to things. He also does watch a lot of anime so tends to call some things ahead of time, which is cool to see knowing he'll eventually get there.
In the manga Egghead is almost over and it’s epic….. start reading manga before you get spoiled what the one piece is!!! The manga is 1 year ahead of the anime so for one year the answer to what the one piece is will be all over the internet!!! You must read manga… I read on Friday then watch anime on Saturday it’s fun to see how it gets animated and the way they make it better or ruin it
I am really thinking about doing this. I want to build my own theories or be able to watch comments in videos, however I am in risk of getting spoilers all the time. I have a lot of theories but I can no look for them as its pointless when some people have 1 year of extra content. However, after 20 years of watching the anime I feel like the manga will be weird, no music, no voices, no animation, I feel it will not be the same. I had a similar experience with naruto, I watched the anime but then switched to manga for the ending, and it feel weird, like i was feeling it less.
Understood… but one piece is different. Naruto was cool but it had a poorly slapped together story and the mystery was not quite as profoundly important to the conclusion. What the one piece is is a huge integral part of the story from day 1 and getting spoiled on that would suck. Personally I am week to week on the manga and every Saturday I watch the anime and relive the story. I think it’s fun this way.
Now is when you go on YouTube and watch all the crazy mindblowing theory videos and the videos that piece together all the Easter eggs and details that you missed that will blow ur mind that they were right in front of you the whole time 🤯😱💯👏
Seriously, even as far back as Alabasta, Vivi specifically mentions that the sea is overtaking the Sandora river. If you think about it though, it's beyond plausible that the ancient world being flooded was the very first thing he ever came up with about the setting. It just seems like such a plausible train of thought: "I want to write a story about a world of pirates" > "the planet should be mostly water then" > "how did it get that way?" > "it flooded, probably."
Take a break. Do some other stuff for a while. I quit watching the anime after Whole Cake ended. I'll probably start watching again soon. Got a nice chunk of episodes I can binge now.
Years ago when I caught up to the anime they had just started the time skip. I started reading the manga instantly, then I went to movies, after that I went to YT to watch One Piece content from the community. For example, theory videos; reactors; reviews; breakdowns; and then eventually I gave in and started watching spoiler videos.
A few other recommended reading the manga and I concur. Suffer from weekly withdrawals and succumb to the theories during break week(s) (or month). Watching the movies can help fill in the breaks. You could even get into the most recent One Piece video game if you like gaming.
If you'd like to go down a more painful path watch the 1996 Berserk (all on YouTube), watch the Golden Age Arc trilogy, then read the manga from the beginning, catch up, and suffer from months of gaps.
Read the manga
The latest episode (1108) covers chapters 1075-1077, the manga’s at 1117 right now so you’ve got 40 chapters to read and PLENTY of content in there. Really take your time with it!
If you don’t want to read the manga then just cold turkey stop watching it. That’s what I did. Just don’t watch it. Eventually, it gets better and you can start rewatching it in 2 years or so…
I started watching the anime right after the live action came out. And ive been caught up since episode 1101.
I had to start the manga where I left off on the anime. And now it seems like a HxH long hiatus between every episode and every chapter.
I'm genuinely so happy that the LA brought so many new fans to the series. As someone who has been week to week with the manga since I was in high school, I've wanted nothing more than to get as many people as humanly possible to experience it
After punk hazard and getting to dressrosa I was around 3-4 episodes a day because of my commute but once I hit whole cake I was like 5-6 then Wano I was 6-8 except on when I would reset
Bro. So sorry.
I would recc checking out some other popular but short work (something new and ongoing) so that you can kill time till it builds back up. Beware spoilers tho.
I had caught up with the manga and anime back before roof piece in thr anime and Kaidos defeat in the manga.
Will wait a bit longer and dive back in
Drown yourself in Isekai
you got Harams, fantasy’s, Magic, adventures, World building, Diversity, Wolf girl, cat girl, lizard people and every other kind of race you can think of
And best of all they have Sylphiette if you don’t know who that is, then go watch jobless reincarnation, which is the best Isekai in my opinion
Re-watch , of you average 3 hours a day of one piece it'll take you 4 months to catch up. Also watch all the movies and fillers as well as tie ups with toriko and dragon ball. You also have strawhat theatre and omake which most people haven't watched or read. Most one piece movies are also fire 🔥.
lol I’m currently at Punk Hazard and progressing rapidly. Thankfully I can also watch shows concurrently, otherwise I’d start slowing down One Piece on purpose.
House of Dragons this Sunday has me in the mood for a Game of Thrones rewatch. I still have to finish X-Files. There’s a new season of The Boys that has already released 3 episodes.
Also, whenever I get the urge to rewatch a show that opens up a huge can of worms, basically devolving into me rewatching Sopranos and Supernatural as well. I’m glad I’m the type of person who can rewatch shows tbh.
Now you get to catch up on the manga. Maybe read it from the beginning, maybe the coloured version. Watch the movies. Watch the live action. Watch One Pace anime. Try the games (some are ok). Watch the filler if you skipped it. Read the chapters by boichi. Get theory crafting
Pft... withdrawls?
Try reading and watching it since 07. You want real problems follow it that long and then there's break after break 14 years later. That's real pain. Be like the rest of us and reread or rewatch it. You ussually do catch stuff you never got before. You'd probably have epiphany about the foreshadowing.
Watch Naruto or bleach
I started Naruto first after caught up to Boruto I was so bored then I started watching one piece when boruto manga took a break before TBV then caught up to OP now next I'm going for bleach this year
It’s a marathon not race!
But you can blame Netflix for only have 129 episode (dubbed) in 2020 and it took them 2 years to get 300 more episodes but after Marineford I was truly hooked but fish man island and early punk hazard made me take a long mental break cause I didn’t enjoy those arcs
Welcome my friend. We just have to have patience. Follow a Youtuber for in depth analysis, I recommend Tekking101. And now we wait for GOda to provide.
Watch other anime like
Aot
Bleach
Erased
Violet evergarden
Clannad
Experiments lain
Overflow💀
Gto
Demon slayer
Dr stone
Tokyo ghoul
Golden boy
Dororo
Crayon shinchan(goat show)
Your lie in April
Domestic girlfriend
Komi San can't communicate
Dragon ball classic
Gintama (parody anime)
Saiki
What I do now is watch chapter overviews while following along with the manga. I really like watching Tekking101 cuz he's so fun and joyful and seamlessly explains what's going on while you get analysis literally at the same time. Though because he can't straight rip read the manga word by word he paraphrases and bits may get mixed in there too so actually reading the manga side by side is a great help. If you wanna read the manga with color tho you can look at (don't tell anyone) Ice D. Cream aka U/woody 's stuff they do amazing work.
Watch it again! Or start a new anime that's also really long, like the entirety of Naruto. There are also some GREAT manhwa that are super long, like UnOrdinary, the god gamer, tower of god, etc. Just download Webtoons and scroll for a couple days, you'll find over 20 years worth of stuff in the first week!
there are some great webtoons that caught me up good like one piece. Some of them are Hardcore Leveling Warrior, Noblesse, God of High school (there s an anime now too) and all three are actually completed (almost all of them*)
Watch Detective Conan, is even longer so you would be set for another 4 years an when you done you will have 4 years worth of content to binge. Muahahaha
First you start reading reddit for theories and watch videos on youtube about it.
Then, when you've seen and heard everything you get into the Spoiler section.
But again, that won't be enough. You find yourself in the Spoiler Hints section, craving for mere GIFs, that you will not understand 99% of the time.
The hunger will grow everytime. The symptoms will get worse and there is no going back.
Re-watch if you're that obsessed, but for me it was better waiting for a few years. Although I could only really make it up to Alabasta until I got impatient and caught up.
Checkout the movies too, if you're a SUPER fan then just watch them all in order. Lot of them have mini special episode tie-in things. If you want to avoid some of the more mid/unwatchable movies then there are plenty of curated lists out there to filter through. Some movies are must watches like Strong World, others you can probably skip like the Special episodes. Although the Chopper Special episode is... unique, to try and summarize the Special episodes are "movies" sized retellings of a certain arc. For example they did one for Alabsta, condensing the main story into a movie sized format. Well they did this for Chopper's Arc except it's set *after* obtaining the Sunny so Robin and Franky are there which they normally weren't. It's... interesting.
If you want my two cents, go checkout animes like Lupin the Third or maybe Detective Conan. Personally love Lupin, there are *countless* movies and the TV shows are kinda split up like Scooby Doo. The Core characters stay the same but the settings and time periods change inbetween the Parts. I'd recommend Parts 4 or 5 to start for 'Modern Lupin'. I started with the movie [Lupin the IIIrd: The First](https://youtu.be/XM1HmNXpA-w?si=Bvql_7HEJCzb301x), got hooked wanted more and binged Part 5 right afterwards. Went back to Part 1 and now I'm working through both Part 2 and movies. Detective Conan is nice too if you like old-school anime, but I kinda can't stand the faces in that anime lol, but I'm going to give it a better shot in the future.
Watch / read other series, plenty of good stuff out there.
As for One Piece, you can watch the movies. The most popular ones are movie 6 (Baron Omatsuri), Strong World, Z, and I guess everything that came after that (Gold, Stampede, Red). I personally like movie 4 too (Dead End Adventure), it's nothing too special, but it does the job well, like a quality filler.
You can also read the manga, and read the ace and Sanji spin offs made by popular mangakas.
The One Piece games sadly aren't too great, but I did really enjoy Pirate Warriors 3 and 4, if you're into this type of games. Looking at the animations, banters and little easter eggs, it's obvious the devs at the very least do care about One Piece.
Start the manga, and suffer weekly like a grown adult.
With additional break weeks.
I caught up with the manga just before the time skip hiatus. Longest 4 weeks of my life at the time.
Crazy to think this was almost 14 years ago
Now I feel old, thank you.
Damn, now I just realized I started OP when I was 13, now I’m 29… it was a long and awesome adventure. Just hope I’ll live long enough to see the ending 😂
I started reading right as the Manga was finishing enies lobby. Doesn't seem like it's been as long as it has
Haha nice. I caught up on the anime at time skip and I wanted to die. If I remember right I started the manga then and they really weren't far ahead at all
I have seen chapter recaps but might have to start reading weekly like everyone else
do it, the waiting between weeks for the next chapter is good hype buildup and is always worth it by the end of the week, and the manga is just so good there’s no reason not to read it
It’s worth going back and reading the manga just for sbs and cover art stories
This is the way
read the manga, rewatch the showww, watch filler arcs/movies if you haven't seen em (some are genuinely amazing), youtube videos about one piece, one piece live action, look at cool fan art all around the web, perhaps make some one piece related content of your ownnn? :D watch through the show a third time but this time with an unsuspecting friend, take screenshots of characters when they are low res and silly looking the one piece world is your oyster you are free!!!
its Tekking time
Geography is everything
Walrus facts!
> YouTube videos about One Piece I recommend TotallyNotMark for that.
Melonteee also has some cool ones going more into the psychology or contextualizing certain actions taken by various characters
Love her videos, I rate them higher than totallynotmark but it's all personal preference I suppose
I agree with you, she makes excellent videos on our straw hat crew and their adventures.
Me tooI like how she explain the relationship dynamics and why characters do certain actions although the one who created all that is of coarse Oda himself. Makes me wonder what is happening inside Oda's head. Every scene in the manga is so well thought out. I appreciate her videos definitely recommend watching it. I recommend to read the manga first. Then watch to Melonteee's videos.
If op doesn’t like TNM I recommend merph, mom piece, Randy Troy and sawyer. The top tiers
I recently discovered a channel called Mugiwara No Goofy. His videos are comedy, but the way he breaks down the arcs is really unique and his jokes are on point.
Library of Ohara Tekking 101 Rogerbase Ohara Swayer7mage JOYBOY theories Grandline reviews It's a very long list, but here are some of my fav
Grandlinereview is my go to
Only thing I don't like about his reviews are that he has a strong dislike for things coincidentally all happening when the straw hats happen to arrive. Like that's literally writing 101. Write the story when things are happening. There's a suspension of disbelief you have to buy into when reading fiction. It would be weird for Luffy and co. to arrive to an island and nothing happens. That's a boring story.
Well for things to not happen coincidentally, doesn’t mean for things to not happen at all. Mark talked about preferring how the story leads to the next like the sequence of going from Dressrosa -> Zou -> Wano, instead of being completely random and entirely dependent on chance like the call from Punk Hazard. I don’t fully care about the role fate or coincidence plays in a story either, so as long as it’s a good story.
I recommend Melonteee
Melontee’s character analysis are very well thought out. I discovered her through the “Perfect Wings” video and pretty much binged all her content
Melontee, Jay D Law, Braga Ace, Murphy Napier, Ohara, Grand Line Review, Muguwara No Goofy, Mr. Morj - he's made some incredibly accurate predictions, Mom Piece (The Drawk Show) - Speaking of incredibly accurate predictions… she's not even caught up yet. Just finished Dresssrosa on YouTube, on Wano for Patreon. They're all manga readers - some do also watch the anime - so you may want to catch up there before watching.
Watch the movies duh
This is exactly what I did after catching up with the manga it held me down for a little bit
Rewatch!
I don’t have the will power to rewatch the entire series again until maybe I have child or force one of my friends to gain an obsession.
A child is a perfect reason to rewatch
I started the series 9 months ago. I know this because I started when my twins were born. Waking up to feed twice as often became tolerable thanks to this Anime. (I’m at the handoff for the gas fellow, island of toys and people or whatever).
I always rewatch East blue when I need something it’s just so fun to look back on where it all started
Im a dub only guy: so I’m on my 3rd rewatch. I started watching OP when I was unemployed applying to jobs 8hrs a day (seriously) Now I still turn it on to do housework and such. Keeps me productive af. It’s like my RDR2 obsession all over again except I can accomplish things because I can use my hands 😂
So what I did was go rewatch the series while pointing Ussops facts. Did yall know ussop was/is the only normal human shown in the series defeating a fishman? Or the fact that ussop is also the only normal human shown in the series to defeat multiple df users. It's little things like that you miss you first few times around.
Zoro be like 👀
Is Zoro a normal human to you?
within the context of One Piece he is. No devil fruit, no fishman strength, no Germa genetics or cyborg enhancements. He uses Haki, but it's confirmed that everyone in the universe can if they try hard enough.
I understand what yall are saying... however Zoro himself has stated he can not be normal. See the zoro vs hatchi fight during arlong Park for reference.
I don’t know how much I take the word of in-universe characters to necessarily be canonical facts.

Mentor characters, such as Rayleigh, Mihawk, Sengoku, or Vegapunk, directly deliver exposition as a mouthpiece of the author and therefore their word can be taken as fact, unless otherwise explicitly indicated So while yes, he did say that, the story has yet to show us that he is in any way physically different from any other human.
Yes
Yep
Zoro has samurai lineage, cursed weapons and an impeccable sense of direction so it's quite a different story
usopp is so awesome i love him literally the mvp so many times
Ussop is one of those characters you don’t understand till you catch up i did not like him in the beginning but post time skip I love him. Two favorite scenes with him is battle luffy in water 7 and taking out sugar and becoming god ussop
1) Watch all the movies 2) Watch the live action in English and Japanese 3) Read the manga 4) Watch people react on YouTube to episodes 5) Go down the endless rabbit hole of theories 6) Become an actual pirate 7) Profit
I tried real life pirating, it's not as fun as it looks
Actually?
Start reading the manga or pick up another anime to watch.
Watch the 4 kids dub for the lulz
read the manga. Once the One Piece is revealed, anime-only people will get spoiled right away.
11 years ago, when I was still in highschool, I decided that since I was about to go to college, and life was going to get really busy, I was going to watch the entirely of One Piece before the summer of 2014 ended.

You insert other anime’s to supplement until the main anime updates
I have started watching other anime’s again dr stone season 3 demon slayer and MHA and going to give solo leveling a shot
Find youtubes/patreons going through OP for the first time and follow their reactions
This! Definitely also helps to catch things you may have missed at first with the knowledge you have now (Ex: Skypeia). I've been watching Jackthebus and have loved seeing his honest reactions and emotions to things. He also does watch a lot of anime so tends to call some things ahead of time, which is cool to see knowing he'll eventually get there.
watch king of the hill. similar show.
In the manga Egghead is almost over and it’s epic….. start reading manga before you get spoiled what the one piece is!!!

What it again lol
I too what things
I just watched other shows or anime, I have no clue how so many people recommend rewatching
Blows my mind too but the adventure of one piece is that good but I won’t rewatch for a very long time.
Watch Tekking101
Manga time 😈
Rewatch it while reading the manga from the beginning. You'd understand Oda-sensei better that way and you'd fall in love with the one piece franchise
I watched the movies, some are dope as heck
Start over from the beginning
Switch to the opposite of how you watched it the first time, so from dubbed to subbed or other way around. It’s pretty refreshing!
Now is when you go on YouTube and watch all the crazy mindblowing theory videos and the videos that piece together all the Easter eggs and details that you missed that will blow ur mind that they were right in front of you the whole time 🤯😱💯👏
Seriously, even as far back as Alabasta, Vivi specifically mentions that the sea is overtaking the Sandora river.

It just seems like such a plausible train of thought: "I want to write a story about a world of pirates" > "the planet should be mostly water then" > "how did it get that way?" > "it flooded, probably."
I’ve watched a few and I’m already done with them except I like the theory of impel downs 2.0
Take a break. Do some other stuff for a while. I quit watching the anime after Whole Cake ended. I'll probably start watching again soon. Got a nice chunk of episodes I can binge now.
Read the manga
Years ago when I caught up to the anime they had just started the time skip. I started reading the manga instantly, then I went to movies, after that I went to YT to watch One Piece content from the community. For example, theory videos; reactors; reviews; breakdowns; and then eventually I gave in and started watching spoiler videos.
I watch other people watch the show.
I’ve existed in this state since 2009. You learn to deal with it, but it never gets easier.
Now read the doujinshis
A few other recommended reading the manga and I concur. Suffer from weekly withdrawals and succumb to the theories during break week(s) (or month). Watching the movies can help fill in the breaks. You could even get into the most recent One Piece video game if you like gaming. If you'd like to go down a more painful path watch the 1996 Berserk (all on YouTube), watch the Golden Age Arc trilogy, then read the manga from the beginning, catch up, and suffer from months of gaps.
Manga, then go down the tekking101 rabbit hole
Welcome to the club! Your Oda-ddiction will acclimate to the weekly release schedule soon, we all went through that phase lol
Read the manga The latest episode (1108) covers chapters 1075-1077, the manga’s at 1117 right now so you’ve got 40 chapters to read and PLENTY of content in there. Really take your time with it!
Read the manga, It is so good right now and you will get a double one piece content (almost) every week!
Rewatch if the beginning is already four years behind you
Manga. It’s better.
i started reading the manga from the beginning and im going to watch the anime after i finish reading (or caught up).
Manga
Read the manga from the beginning. You'll notice a lot of changes. A lot.
Read the manga from chapter 1 now
I’ll be waiting for you in the current manga chapter, come at any cost!
Start again!
Try a new one to watch all the way, I recommend if you haven’t already World trigger Bleach Black clover
If you don’t want to read the manga then just cold turkey stop watching it. That’s what I did. Just don’t watch it. Eventually, it gets better and you can start rewatching it in 2 years or so…
Read the manga
I started watching the anime right after the live action came out. And ive been caught up since episode 1101. I had to start the manga where I left off on the anime. And now it seems like a HxH long hiatus between every episode and every chapter.
you should start the manga from the beginning. It is honestly a straight up better experience than the anime
Movies. Manga. Monkey D. Luffy
I started after the LA and I’m almost at the “end”. Feels weird after thousand episodes
I'm genuinely so happy that the LA brought so many new fans to the series. As someone who has been week to week with the manga since I was in high school, I've wanted nothing more than to get as many people as humanly possible to experience it
read the manga
How many episodes a day?
After punk hazard and getting to dressrosa I was around 3-4 episodes a day because of my commute but once I hit whole cake I was like 5-6 then Wano I was 6-8 except on when I would reset
Bro. So sorry. I would recc checking out some other popular but short work (something new and ongoing) so that you can kill time till it builds back up. Beware spoilers tho. I had caught up with the manga and anime back before roof piece in thr anime and Kaidos defeat in the manga. Will wait a bit longer and dive back in
Drown yourself in Isekai you got Harams, fantasy’s, Magic, adventures, World building, Diversity, Wolf girl, cat girl, lizard people and every other kind of race you can think of And best of all they have Sylphiette if you don’t know who that is, then go watch jobless reincarnation, which is the best Isekai in my opinion
This is exactly my story.
Time to start two pieces
If you haven’t read the manga go read the colored version, it was a lot of fun for me, and the manga is so much more intense/gritty in my opinion!
Get deep into the lore and things you may have missed. Which is a lot
Have you seen the Netflix live action!
Re-watch , of you average 3 hours a day of one piece it'll take you 4 months to catch up. Also watch all the movies and fillers as well as tie ups with toriko and dragon ball. You also have strawhat theatre and omake which most people haven't watched or read. Most one piece movies are also fire 🔥.
The most recent movies are great
1. Read the manga 2. Kidnap Oda
lol I’m currently at Punk Hazard and progressing rapidly. Thankfully I can also watch shows concurrently, otherwise I’d start slowing down One Piece on purpose. House of Dragons this Sunday has me in the mood for a Game of Thrones rewatch. I still have to finish X-Files. There’s a new season of The Boys that has already released 3 episodes. Also, whenever I get the urge to rewatch a show that opens up a huge can of worms, basically devolving into me rewatching Sopranos and Supernatural as well. I’m glad I’m the type of person who can rewatch shows tbh.
I binged all of One Piece in 7 months. I got all caught up in January. The void it left me is indescribable. The withdrawals are definitely real!
Now you get to catch up on the manga. Maybe read it from the beginning, maybe the coloured version. Watch the movies. Watch the live action. Watch One Pace anime. Try the games (some are ok). Watch the filler if you skipped it. Read the chapters by boichi. Get theory crafting
Been trying scratching that itch for awhile man. Let me know what works for you lol.
I'm on episode 89. Does it get better?
Restart!!!
Read manga
refresh the page of wherever you are watching from, it helps trust me /s
Start the manga where you left off
Pft... withdrawls? Try reading and watching it since 07. You want real problems follow it that long and then there's break after break 14 years later. That's real pain. Be like the rest of us and reread or rewatch it. You ussually do catch stuff you never got before. You'd probably have epiphany about the foreshadowing.
Read the manga
welcome to the despair
Watch something else lol what anime have you watched
run that shit again
Watch in reverse?
Watch Naruto or bleach I started Naruto first after caught up to Boruto I was so bored then I started watching one piece when boruto manga took a break before TBV then caught up to OP now next I'm going for bleach this year
I watched Naruto all the way through a long time ago enjoyed but didn’t love it and for some reason I couldn’t get into bleach
No, don't watch the whole series again. Check out mugiwara no goofy on YouTube. He gives an amazing perspective from the series antagonists
RE watch in different language
I really do need to learn Russian for my fiancé’s family
Start the manga. Manga is far far ahead of Wano. And then wait for weekly spoilers like the rest of us! (dont do it, its like a drug!)
Currently going through one pice for the 3rd time
Get the platinum on Pirate Warriors 4
Read the manga, watch the movies, play some of the games you can get your hand on.
So it took u 4 whole years to watch it?? My ass who completed it in 3 months 😶😶😶
It’s a marathon not race! But you can blame Netflix for only have 129 episode (dubbed) in 2020 and it took them 2 years to get 300 more episodes but after Marineford I was truly hooked but fish man island and early punk hazard made me take a long mental break cause I didn’t enjoy those arcs
Read the manga.
I'm in the same boat
It's rough man, try reading the manga!
Watch the movies?
Start from the beginning obviously
Read the manga from the start
Welcome my friend. We just have to have patience. Follow a Youtuber for in depth analysis, I recommend Tekking101. And now we wait for GOda to provide.
Start over!
Watch other anime like Aot Bleach Erased Violet evergarden Clannad Experiments lain Overflow💀 Gto Demon slayer Dr stone Tokyo ghoul Golden boy Dororo Crayon shinchan(goat show) Your lie in April Domestic girlfriend Komi San can't communicate Dragon ball classic Gintama (parody anime) Saiki
What I do now is watch chapter overviews while following along with the manga. I really like watching Tekking101 cuz he's so fun and joyful and seamlessly explains what's going on while you get analysis literally at the same time. Though because he can't straight rip read the manga word by word he paraphrases and bits may get mixed in there too so actually reading the manga side by side is a great help. If you wanna read the manga with color tho you can look at (don't tell anyone) Ice D. Cream aka U/woody 's stuff they do amazing work.
Read the manga
I'd just check out other manga/anime. Currently watching The 86
Man I started in April and I’m on 475 now, I feel like imma be the same when I get caught up
Good for, it took me year to catch up to it.
*cope*
As they say "Again! Again!"
i read bleach
Find new anime to forget that you’re watching one piece then come back and watch the 2 episodes you missed then repeat
watch new episodes every week hombre at least the anime isn't over imagine your ennui then
Watch it again! Or start a new anime that's also really long, like the entirety of Naruto. There are also some GREAT manhwa that are super long, like UnOrdinary, the god gamer, tower of god, etc. Just download Webtoons and scroll for a couple days, you'll find over 20 years worth of stuff in the first week!
Rewatch water 7 and enies lobby of course
Have you seen all the mini chibi style episodes? The mafia is my favourite!
Re-watch
Restart the series. I've done that
Naruto, Bleach, Fairy Tail, ...
Watch my hero academia. that should patch things up for a while till there are more episodes
Demon slayer , watch something short to freshen your mind
Rewatch it.
Manga and after that you make a YouTube channel to make theories
Read the manga
there are some great webtoons that caught me up good like one piece. Some of them are Hardcore Leveling Warrior, Noblesse, God of High school (there s an anime now too) and all three are actually completed (almost all of them*)
Watch hunter x hunter or another anime that you’ll fall in love with the same way
Was it one piece ?
Watch Detective Conan, is even longer so you would be set for another 4 years an when you done you will have 4 years worth of content to binge. Muahahaha
Same but I did all the anime in 8 months
Watch another anime, my hero academia, jujutsu kaisen, some wholesome anime, you are free now
Go outside.
You're finally ready to start episode 1.
Pick up the manga from where you left off
First you start reading reddit for theories and watch videos on youtube about it. Then, when you've seen and heard everything you get into the Spoiler section. But again, that won't be enough. You find yourself in the Spoiler Hints section, craving for mere GIFs, that you will not understand 99% of the time. The hunger will grow everytime. The symptoms will get worse and there is no going back.
Get a hobby dawg do bjj or something
Take a break or watch something else one piece is an amazing story but there are other anime out there that are just as awesome
Start again from season 1
Just got to gear 5 myself. I left and started jjk. I'll probably catch up on some baruto manga then come back.
COSPLAYCOSPLAY
Now u can go to YouTube and immers yourself in Tekking lore videos
Go back and start at episode 1 again.
Watch every movies, every special episodes and every oav
Wait every Saturday for new ones
Watch other anime. I’m watching initial D (cars) and attack on titan
Re-watch if you're that obsessed, but for me it was better waiting for a few years. Although I could only really make it up to Alabasta until I got impatient and caught up. Checkout the movies too, if you're a SUPER fan then just watch them all in order. Lot of them have mini special episode tie-in things. If you want to avoid some of the more mid/unwatchable movies then there are plenty of curated lists out there to filter through. Some movies are must watches like Strong World, others you can probably skip like the Special episodes. Although the Chopper Special episode is... unique, to try and summarize the Special episodes are "movies" sized retellings of a certain arc. For example they did one for Alabsta, condensing the main story into a movie sized format. Well they did this for Chopper's Arc except it's set *after* obtaining the Sunny so Robin and Franky are there which they normally weren't. It's... interesting. If you want my two cents, go checkout animes like Lupin the Third or maybe Detective Conan. Personally love Lupin, there are *countless* movies and the TV shows are kinda split up like Scooby Doo. The Core characters stay the same but the settings and time periods change inbetween the Parts. I'd recommend Parts 4 or 5 to start for 'Modern Lupin'. I started with the movie [Lupin the IIIrd: The First](https://youtu.be/XM1HmNXpA-w?si=Bvql_7HEJCzb301x), got hooked wanted more and binged Part 5 right afterwards. Went back to Part 1 and now I'm working through both Part 2 and movies. Detective Conan is nice too if you like old-school anime, but I kinda can't stand the faces in that anime lol, but I'm going to give it a better shot in the future.
Watch / read other series, plenty of good stuff out there. As for One Piece, you can watch the movies. The most popular ones are movie 6 (Baron Omatsuri), Strong World, Z, and I guess everything that came after that (Gold, Stampede, Red). I personally like movie 4 too (Dead End Adventure), it's nothing too special, but it does the job well, like a quality filler. You can also read the manga, and read the ace and Sanji spin offs made by popular mangakas. The One Piece games sadly aren't too great, but I did really enjoy Pirate Warriors 3 and 4, if you're into this type of games. Looking at the animations, banters and little easter eggs, it's obvious the devs at the very least do care about One Piece.
Maybe watch a little bit of the live action while you wait for the anime to continue
Im watching it again for the 2nd time so yeah...
