[I collect VHS tapes]

thinking of getting back into the series, been a long time

saw Netflix just added it, is there a difference between watching it on Netflix vs Hulu vs etc

I heard some versions are mildly censored or something?

 

[Yoboman]

Netflix only has up to Enies Lobby I think

Crunchyroll should have the whole thing

There is also a fan edit called One Pace you can watch which cuts down the filler and pacing issues massively

Or just read the manga which is the best experience

Just read it instead.

CrunchyRoll? I'm thinking about getting back into anime also, though it's bittersweet for me as I last watched it at a simpler time in my life. Vampire Knight is first on my list.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

Way too many episodes at this point

 

[West Texas CEO]

I fell off after the dressrosa arc ended and that was episode 800 something. Donflomingo was the only character that kept me wanting more..
Ohh and also Lui,

Just read it and watch key scenes on YT. Once the anime got to Enies Lobby the pacing fucking died.

 

[nocsi]

Crunchyroll has all of it. Otherwise Netflix and others have been picking up episodes

 

[Paltheos]

One Pace is probably the better choice. My understanding is that in the mid-300s, the pacing of the anime as aired falls off a cliff. One Pace is supposed to correct this by crunching out so much of the useless filler and padding in each episode.

Or you could just read the manga.

Funimation's page got me through Fishman Island, before I quit the anime. I haven't seen a better free option. https://www.funimation.com/shows/one-piece/

I read the manga only. I heard the anime got really good, but it's too many episodes to catch back up, and that's just the New World alone.

It's a solid few months of regular watching, if you want to start from scratch.

 

[Sub_Level]

Netflix up to Enies Lobby

Then switch to the manga

 

[killatopak]

Skip everything and start at the War arc / Marineford.

no

 

[Amiga]

Crunchyroll with a lot of fast-forwarding.
For the lapsed, Whole Cake arc shifted the tone, got unexpectedly dark and intense.

 

[AmuroChan]

Crunchyroll would be the best place to watch.

 

[dr_octagon]

Is this named after the KFC fried chicken or the other way round?

 

[GoldenEye Samurai]

What about someone who wants to watch it dubbed?

I’m watching it dubbed on Netflix

 

[GoldenEye Samurai]

I’m watching it dubbed on Netflix

Might have to subscribe again in that case.

I think you can watch it dubbed on Hulu too

I don't know about 'unexpectedly dark'. I don't think it's that much darker than any other One Piece arc (aside from that one scene implied in a flashback that I don't think you could show in WSJ - that one caught me by surprise). Lots of One Piece's stories are steeped in bloodshed and oppression. I think Whole Cake's just better than One Piece otherwise had been for a long time.

Spoiler

don't remember the death count being this big, also how they happened.



Pulse Luffy plotting an assassination is something unprecedented.

Man the anime has too many great moments that are greatly enhanced vs. the manga, up until about halfway through.

Post time skip, yeah ok you can just read it, but I still watch the anime for the major fights primarily.
