ONE PIECE.. help??

very excited!!

Please don't watch One Pace, as they recommend here, One Pace is better to watch for those who have already watched and want to refresh their memories

It's definitely a time commitment; don't let yourself get burned out. As another comment suggested, you might be taking on too much at once, as well as committing years to watching. Please account for how much you are already doing. One Piece would be a great watch, but I would personally recommend waiting until we've exhausted and watched most other mainstream anime that are shorter before we dive in.

This is a great show. I recommend watching it with One Pace: https://onepace.net/en It cuts out filler and repeated scenes (like replaying the same running sequence 5–6 times in one episode just to reach 20 minutes). It makes the experience way better, and you’ll catch up about twice as fast. You’ll miss very little, too. 🙂

If you're planning on watching every episode and doing 5 per week you're looking at a commitment of about 4 1/4 years assuming you don't miss a single week, keep in mind the show is still coming out with new episodes so that number will grow. It's a great show but it's also exhausting at times

Turning off lurker mode to share my thoughts! One Piece is amazing and one of my favorite animes, but the time commitment is no joke. (I mean, the show has been airing for over 25 years...) If you're worried about time in your schedule, it might not be a bad idea to hold off starting until one of your shorter shows is done so that you don't stretch yourself too thin. That said, I feel like streaming larger chunks of episodes is probably a good call! One Piece is very binge-able and in some spots you're probably not going to want to stop at just 5 :P Also, a lot of the arcs in the first "saga" ("Sagas" are the term for the arc groups that tend to encompass an overarching plotline) are very short, some arcs being only a couple episodes, so that approach would suit progressing through the early story well. Agree with the others on having chat off/moderation for the streams though, to both avoid spoilers and let you focus on the show. In terms of avoiding filler / using One Pace, I'll echo what others have said and advise watching the show as-is pre-timeskip (roughly to ep500). One Pace is great for people familiar with OP, but I think the cuts make the early content TOO fast-paced and hard to follow for people immersing themselves in the world for the first time. Also, the pre-timeskip filler arcs are very easy to skip over if you want (they are clearly marked on the Story Arcs page of the wiki - https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Story_Arcs) and I personally find the extended / anime-only scenes to be fun. Also one final note, if you're looking to define a "Season 1" for OP, I would propose the first Saga (the East Blue Saga, about ~55 episodes minus filler) as a safe bet. It's obviously longer than a typical 12/24 episode season, but each Saga is very cohesive and the East Blue Saga specifically feels like a very contained beginning to the long journey ahead.

Starting at 5 a weekend is a dang good start! Most reactors do about 6 episodes a week in batches of 2 or 3. I'm here just because of your One Piece reactions. You will need some serious moderators to stream it though. Will "season 1" vods be free?

With or without chat? Because some people will probably spoil or confirm theories

Yesss sounds great one piece is so peak

I like that! Streaming usually means chat is distracting, that I have seen for One Piece- lots of people like to spoil OP even passively- but if you have it strictly moderated I don't see it being an issue for you! I wouldn't be able to catch streams but I have no issue with watching the upload.

here for it!!!! lets goooooooooooo

Brandon as ur favorite discord femboy I support the decision u watching one PEAK at any cost

bye to haikyuu ig... 😞

Seems pretty good

Well, I haven't watched one piece, but if the demand is there and you are cool with it, then you could start it!!

Slow beginning but great story telling. You'll regret not starting sooner if anything 😌👌

Go for it!

Sounds lovely

One PEAK'S story and world are unmatched. 100% a great idea!

I'm not a huge fan of One Piece, but seeing the support on the youtube side, definitely go ahead. Although if you add even more episodes when you're already struggling, you might want to replace either Vinland or Apothecary by One Piece once they're finished.

Welcome on board! You will prob get hooked like the rest of us XD

One Piece has the greatest story. i think it's a good idea, especially for you, as you are paying attention to details (got that only from your reaction to the openings). As for spoilers, well, you did watch the openings, so i dont think you would get spoiled more than what you already saw. (Even if you remember them they are light spoilers anyway; it's all about how you get there)

Seems good

I can't wait to see your reaction to my favourite story ever. You will love it and wouldn't regret spending time watching it.

Honestly, not a bad idea

As a fan of One Piece, I would suggest if you only want to do a few episodes, then maybe do a few movies? Strong World and Gold are my favorites, but Baron Omatsuri is the one that has the best reputation in the community, especially for people unfamiliar with One Piece. The Breathtaking World of One Piece by Strawhat V on Youtube is also very popular in the community and highly recommended to reactors who have not yet consumed One Piece proper. I wouldn't rec doing just a handful of eps as viewership will fluctuate--people tend to skip filler and you will get LOTS of viewership on major eps and less on eps where less happens...so i don't really rec starting it unless you strongly want to watch it for yourself.

After a while, when you get hooked on the plot (and you definitely will), you'll want to watch more and more episodes at a time. Just trust me. I've rewatched One Piece three times in its entirety.

W idea. I would also recommend to watch in One Pace cut starting from Alabasta arc (around ~100 episodes in).

Feels like you might be putting too much on your plate. Idk all the details obviously, but between your real life and uploading, your daily schedule already seems rather hectic to the point that you’re recording and uploading stuff same night around midnight or missing whole weeks of uploads. Don’t let people’s excitement pressure you into doing too much and burning out. They can wait till you finish HxH or something if that’s easier on you.

one piece is my favorite thing in the world, this is so exciting!! watching on stream would be cool but at the same time dangerous lol🥲 there’s a lot of trolls that love to spoil, you’ll need some good mods!

If i wasn't already subbing this week, i'd in a heatbeat for OP. I'm cool with the idea and for it to start ASAP. You could always change the rythm based on your needs and current output

I absolutely love One Piece and it would be really cool if you started watching it. But maybe you'll finish one or two other series and then have a bit more space for it. Just so you know, there are currently about 1050 episodes without filler, which is over 4 years at 5 episodes per week. It would be okay to put it on the regular $5 tier then. I've already finished most of the first seasons anyway and will switch to the $5 tier soon :D

This gonna be an EPIC journey! SET SAILSSSS EVERYONE!

is it gonna be set in stone if its on friday or saturday or are you gonna switch between the two?

Here i was expecting to get the first +1100 (season1) for free 😂😭 go for it man and enjoy, it’s a good idea to watch it on stream it’ll be fun and engaging. I’m sure you’re going to love your journey in the seas 🏴‍☠️

Yeahh. One piece is so good. One of my favorite animes. It will be a long journey, but a funny and beautiful one.

I used to pray for time like this ! 🙏

LEZGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Sounds like a solid plan

OMGGG YESSSS !!! YOU WILL ABSOLUTELY LOVE ONE PIECE

Yessss 🙏🙏

Do it
