As a One Piece fan, I will admit it took a long time for me to start liking OP, but once it gets good… it’s awesome!

Ps. I recommend the manga over the anime because the pacing in the anime is very slow.

I have followed one piece for 10 years already. It is always my favorite anime. You have two options whether to read manga or watch anime and choose which medium you are most comfortable with because you can read manga at a faster pace while anime much slower. One Piece is a manga which gives special attention to its characters. It has some of the best character development in any manga or anime.There’s a great plot in One Piece, and a rich, whimsical setting in the Pirate Age, but the reason One Piece stands out is neither of these, its because its characters are some of the most memorable and important in all of manga history. It has so many chapter and episode but you can consume at your own pace so you will not get burned out but if you already watch first 25 episode and didn't like it at all you can just stop. Maybe, this might not be kind of anime that you like and try other popular anime instead.

Get in mind that this manga is now 25 years old, so, the shonen code was a bit different from now and thats a fact, it was more story telling, and little bit less combat.
For many fans, (I include myself in) we watch that anime, for like 20 years, i was 10 when i started, and i'm 31 now.. and still loving it, I find some arc boring as hell, and some absolutly fantastic etc.

But yeah, its pretty long to start and settle the story, getting better after a while..
And remind that you have to right not to like it (even if for some people, its a crime)

this is not sarcasm. One Piece gets a lot better after about 400 chapters. Some would argue it's worth the time investment.
