New Fans and Old One Piece

is there anybody who got into one piece but didn't catch up with all the previous chapters/episodes
one piece has been around for a long time and each year new people are introduces to it, but i can't imagine that everybody goes back to catch up with all 900+ chapters

i got into onepiece last-this year and i read all of it at my own pase and made my own opinions,

During the time reading it i didn't engage nor care about communities or forums or even Yea Forums posts so i was never in a hurry.

welcome aboard, lurk and enjoy your stay
you've done the right thing staying away from forums and just enjoying the series at your own pace
who's your favorite character?

Same here started watching recently and i'm pretty hooked in the story. I still prefer the manga by a lot from where i'm but I consume both.

>who's your favorite character?

Hancock even tho I discovered her not long ago.

desing wise it's Perona, ability wise it's Robin but overall it has to be Law.

I'm a One Piece fan since around 7 years ago, I think. Started with anime and jumped to manga after I binged the whole series. It was Punk Hazard then if I recall correctly.
I can't really pick my favourite character but if I had to pick a few, I would choose Zoro, Luffy, Law and Rocinante.
>Hancock even tho I discovered her not long ago.
I hated her after her first appearance but soon came to love her.

ghost girls, titty monsters and the law, these are some fine choices, i'm more of a brook fan myself

Rocinante is cute, and topical given the new joker movie
i've been following one piece since roughly the start of thriller bark, so that's 12 years or so and maybe why i like brook so much since i witnessed him joining as it was releasing

>Pre timeskip = Soul
>After timeskip = Soulless

Every time

I caught up to One Piece a couple months ago. I'm now watching the One Pace of my favourite arcs.

>brook fan
the ultimate chads

Not always. Naruto peaked after timeskip.

>Kazekage Rescue Mission
>Akatsuki Suppression Mission
>Itachi Pursuit Mission
>Tale of Jiraiya the Gallant
>Fated Battle Between Brothers
>Pain's Assault
>Five Kage Summit

You still have time zoomie. Leave before you're here forever.

There used to be a weekly stream with 10-12 episode of OP on Friday/Saturday nights.
The anime isn't brilliant but it did serve as a great introduction to the series for newbies.

Simpler times.

Some friends told me toca start with thriller bark, it is save to start there ? I watch the first 20 eps and got bored, but want to get into it

shame perona will die next chapter

Wtf, sounds stupid. I would suggest to try again from where you have left and watch until the end of Arlong saga, so 20 or 30 episodes more. If at that point you still don't enjoy OP, then you should probably drop it.

>die
>one piece
Ok.

no, you should watch everything if you don't like it by the end of arlong park, drop it.

Absalom just died

> Vergo, monet, magistrate
Oda's working on it. Hopefully usoppe will help him.

dude I'm watching the dub and I'm only on episode 20 I talked mad shit about one piece for a long time but I'm really liking it

Yasu died too

Yes. I dropped it during fishman island

i don't like this mentality that characters need to die to make a story good, seems like something a bored edgelord would believe
if anything the rarity of deaths make it more dramatic/grim when it does happen because of how it contrasts with One Piece generally colorful and up-beat setting
that's not even getting into how there are far worse things than death that do happen in one piece like child torture/rape, getting crucified, losing your soul. being turned into a toy, losing all of your loved ones and becoming a slave. just slavery in general is very commonplace in one piece
i know none of you really went all out and said that nobody died, but it is a very common criticism of one piece that i wanted to address

high calcium energy
it's funny how i just went on talking about death in one piece and brook's entire thing is being undead yohoho

getting crucified
Yes,I too remember our local edgelord Kid.Wonder if he's gonna soften up just like Law did

i was suprised at how not terrible the funi dub was. nami, zoro, usopp, chopper and sanji all fit great in the dub.

There is new fans?

>but i can't imagine that everybody goes back to catch up with all 900+ chapters
Then what's the fucking point, when I got into one piece it was already over 700 chapters and the thought I had was "nice, It going to be a long ride till i catch up, I hope this lives up to its hype", because for what reason would you get into such a long series if you don't want to read the fucking chapetrs.

that's a good point, i just got to thinking that some of the newer fans would watch the last arc and maybe some others via movies or stuff like 'episode of nami' but otherwise skip large portions of the story

communities are shit, especially this one. Shippers, faggots, powerlevelfags, it's best that you only come here on chapter release if anything.

pain's fucking assault was the absolute best arc in naruto shipudden. i even think the series should've been designed to end there because the war was pretty boring with the whole susano and extreme powers bullshit

joined Yea Forums a month ago, joined Yea Forums way before that, anonymous posting is great.

imagine discussing things in discord where hunders of comments are lost forever and the only person having any responses ever is the most popular nigger of the server or the thot with her orbiters, fucking cancer.

powerlevel niggers and fags are the worst but there are the occasional drawanons and decent shitposts that make it worth it

>even mentioning discord
i feel sick to my stomach just remembering that shit hole

got into one piece 4 years ago, watched up to mid dressrosa and stopped but stayed intersted but just not follwing anything and i started reading the manga a few weeks ago from the beginning. its an absolute blast i miss it

>pain arc is the best
>lets just copy-paste the legendary sannin (who are natural copies of team 7) to yet another trio but THIS TIME THEY'RE ORPHANS (TM)
>character deaths completely reset
>deaths weren't even that impactful to begin with, kakashi was barely developed as a character and existed just to look cool for 90% of the story
>guy, lee and neji conveniently on a mission because we can't have gates pop up too soon or any kind of cool ocular based fight between neji and pain
>talk no jutsu yet again, and prophecy shenanigans that goes against the theme of the story in part I
>oh by the way Pain is from the Uzumaki clan but lets not mention that


And worst of all, Naruto receives praise from the people of Konoha, thus fulfilling what he said all the way back in part I "i want to be Hokage so people respect me". He got that respect in the form of a giant crowd throwing him up in the air and loud cheers. His dream to do paperwork and govern a city should've been dropped at this point.

Your friends are fucking retarded

When I started reading OP there were 450 chapters out, that was also a lot, and it never occurred to me to skip arcs.
In fact, I have read every chapter pre-TS at least 3 times since then.
And even then I feel like I missed (or since forgot) a lot of the more nuanced parts of the story-telling. Skipping chapters completely ruins the series in my opinion.

It's horrible, was forced to stay because some of my old internet friends emigrated there, quit again a few weeks ago and i don't miss chatting there in the slightest.

Doesn't help that most of them "came out" as fags, one is a tranny and the other is a furry.

Not to mention the constant server timeout, lack of basic features that are locked behind pay walls and the mod team that perma bans anyone who critizes furries. a disgusting shithole that is somehow generating revenue

did exactly the same

>I have read every chapter pre-TS at least 3 times
my man, i've done the same but i've rewatched the anime several times back when we were on 300-450 episodes
i would store a bunch of candy and waste the weekends just watching episode after episode
fuck other anime i'll just watch one piece again

it's so bad, you have to kiss up/roleplay as a sissy faggot else they shun you and if you call out their faggotry you get instantly banned
no wonder that there's a bunch of cp servers over there mixed with furry trash and blackmail and what not, that shitheap attracts the worst of the worst

and get new friends

I did. It's pretty easy.

I actually looked forward to reading new chapters then. Post timeskip focuses on too many characters I just don't give a shit about.

Started from the beginning in 2015. It’s not that difficult, it’s just a comic book, I’ve read plenty of tl;dr books

If you didn't read One Piece you didn't "get into One Piece". That literally doesn't even make sense.

i think you missed the point, so let me spell out the scenario i had in mind
>8-10 year old boy
>gets his first issue of wsj
>upon opening it and reading some, he is introduces to one piece chapter 955
>he likes it for whatever reason but doesn't fully understand the entire scope of the series due to his limited exposure
>he wants to catch up as fast as possible and the hundreds of chapters/weeks worth of anime are too daunting for him
>he resorts to catch up via summaries and those short movies like 'episode of east blue'
>he is now waiting for the newest chapter but and is "caught up" with the story without actually reading all of the past chapters/watching all episodes
am i clear now? english is now my first language, sorry if it's a bit all over the place
