Greetings GTribers,
One Piece.
When the anime first came out so many years ago, me and my friend watched it. Unlike my friend, I found the first few episodes kind of boring and thought that this anime was more fitted for the younger audience. I stopped while he went on watching. About two years ago we met by coincidence and he told me that I was missing watching one of the best anime ever. At that time, I did read a lot of good reviews for the show, but silly me, I just could not fathom what this One… See More
Piece was all about. To me it was not as flashy or as interesting compared to the likes of Dragon Ball, Naruto and others.
Then Covid struck. With my work greatly affected I have to find an outlet for my boredom besides watching movies and tv series, reading books and playing video games. Last February, I started watching One Piece again. The first few episodes were still boring as hell but I endured. Little by little I started to enjoy the show. The phasing and development of One Piece is really fantastic. From February to July of this year, that is five long months, I watched all of the episodes from the first one up to episode 984! Imagine me doing the five month binge watching lol. Every day from February to July, I watched at least three episodes to as high as ten or maybe more in one sitting. Today, I proudly caught up with the current episode!
Overall, One Piece is an amazing anime. It may have started so slow but it really became more interesting as it progressed. It is like watching a child grow up! Can't wait for episode 985!
Game on!
ya i agree the first few were slow to develop but it grows on you.
my son started watching it on a streaming service that only had the english dub.
after a 100 or so episodes we got access to the japanese version but couldnt watch it as the japanese voices for some of the characters didnt 'feel' right after watching so much in english dub.
dont get me wrong the voice acting in both versions is very good but when you get used to a character's tone/sound being a certain way its hard to change.
we tried… See More
but couldnt get over it so presently we are caught up at ep707
we started in december of last year and had exhausted the english dub by march of this year (mid 600s)
and now we wait patiently for each new set to drop which is usually every 4 to 6 weeks and the next one should be TODAY
