        The person I heard about One Piece from actively told me not to start watching it. They told me it was their favorite show, but they wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

        One Piece is now my favorite show, and I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone.

        This is my experience with One Piece fans personally; I ain’t seeing OP fans going around pressuring people to watch.

          There’s definitely a contingent of Oda’s angels, and their proselytizing has been growing louder and louder. I think part of it has to do with the Live-Action making the series more popular in the West.

          That being said, I heavily agree with your take. It’s the kinda thing that’s pretty easy to get sucked into watching, and then you’re cursed into watching more than a thousand episodes.

          One Piece has aired 1000+ episodes over 26 years without a break. So technically it just ended the first season.

            I know this is just headcanon and people will rightfully disagree, but as far as I’m concerned anytime the opening changes, that’s a new season.

            There are whole seasons of the anime that are a break, and im not even talking about the “catch up” ones that are 8 episodes long.
