GreatSaiyaMeng123 and Fantastische Hire reads/watches One-Piece

[Future Warrior]

Definitely watch the anime. Pre time-skip anime was good. At-least up-to where I watched and was constantly praised by Eiichiro Oda. Can't comment on post time-skip. I heard it sucked.

The story should start at the Shanks flashback, not whatever they did in the anime.

Not sure what's wrong with it at-all. Just because it's not chronological order doesn't matter in this case. They tell the story in episode 5. You're acting like they're telling it like 600 episodes in or something lol.

And that's only like one instance you named.

That's why a lot of people are put off the anime such as myself when getting into it. The start of East Blue isn't even that great and just seems like some kiddie generic trash, but it's a lot better when you understand Luffy's motivations on this adventure and Shanks losing his arm sets the tone for the rest of the story.

Watch the anime I'd say. What he's saying that's only a change in order and the flashback is told in episode 4 anyway. At-least up-to the time-skip seems to be worth-watching. The voice-acting, use of music and everything make it worth-watching. Even classical music is used at one-point for an epic, epic moment (new world symphony).

Literally episode 4.

There really isn't much of a change at-all from what I remember.

Just read the manga. You're gonna end up switching anyway since Post-TS is universally considered bad in the anime.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

Nah, he can watch & then switch.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

There's almost no change or difference, outside of a few minute ones like order of things.

When does the Timeskip even happen? I’m only reading the first Volume dawg.

Your in the minority if you felt immediately invested in Luffy punching a fat lady in the face.

It's comedy, if you can't even watch 4 episodes I don't know what to say.

Many, many volumes in, like it didn't happen until 2009 real-time or so & the series began in summer of 1997.

EDIT: Didn't happen until around end of 2010.

One-Piece anime is also huge in other countries, soooooo...

 

[Future Warrior]

I just want him to have the best experience, that's all. Have you even read the manga?

 

[Fantastische Hure]

I did last time & I too want him to have the best experience. He's missing-out if he's not watching the anime. My opinion.
