Is it worth watching all of One Piece?

i second lama in what he said, i started watching it recently as far as i have seen it is way better than naruto.

i say this even though i actually started watching anime because of naruto(i've no idea about bleach tough).

unlike naruto there is less amount of fillers, more funny and a very involving anime.

i would highly recommend this anime,

One Piece is one of the few shows that continually improves the longer it runs. At 70 episodes, I would say you have hardly scratched the surface of what it has to offer you. I would definitely recommend watching it in its entirety (at least for the episodes released so far).

hey

the short answer is yes. It's good fun, good humoured with entertaining characters, and whilst it will take you a while you shouldn't feel like you've wasted your time with it.

the long answer:

I asked myself a similar question a few months ago having previously passed on one piece after watching the pilot and disliking it a few years back, but i was looking for a long running series to get into and watched the whole thing through from 1 - 5xx, from about early december to middle of january. So my experience/memories of the show are quite recent.

It's good fun and they get more comfortable with the characters over time, and of course so do you and so it gets funnier the further in you go. They balance the roles quite well and some of the writing and acting is genius. And even though it deals with some pretty awful situations at times, they always back them up with positive messages.

Is it better than bleach/naruto? This is subjective but I would say yes overall. whilst there are similarities between them, one piece remains lively whilst the pacing of bleach is deathly slow, and naruto is always hitting the same chord.

I would say it is possible to skip arcs but make sure you don't pitch up half way through one because whilst the characters themselves aren't complicated, the situations and back stories they came from are. So if you were looking to jump ahead, the current arc starts at 517. I wouldn't recommend it though since all the jokes just won't make sense if you haven't watched it through :)

Manga wise it is at the top few, anime wise I would say it has alot of humor, story is ok and you will see a lot of interesting enemies appear in further episodes and the story does get better.

I originally watched it in 2004-2005 when it use to air on TV, back then, I wasn't really hooked as the 4kids dub removed so much scenes and did some editing... but in late 2007 I decided to watch it from the beginning subbed, and Ive been watching it ever since.

I would put it up there with Naruto and Bleach, and its still growing strong.
