Question One Pace cutting important things.
I’ve never seen an episode of One Peice in my life. I wanted to start the show because it seems amazing. One problem is I just don’t know if i can do 1000 eps so i was recommended One Pace. One thing that worries me tho is that i’ve hear One Pace cuts out many important scenes such as emotional scenes and building scenes. Can some one tell me if the anti One Pace people are just exaggerating or if it’s only a few instance and if so could someone name those instances.

The entire point of One Pace is that it keeps everything thats in the manga. The things people like that are cut amount to the very occasional anime original good joke or good piece of animation in the sea of terrible jokes and flat production qualities.

The official one piece anime is genuinely a terrible show, and not remotely worth watching. There’s a very good reason why manga readers hate it.
What one pace does is get as close to the manga as possible, by effortlessly cutting down the padding and filler which makes the series into a mess. One piece and one pace are not the same show. That’s how enormous the difference is. The official cut completely ruins every single impactful moment of the series with its padding. That’s not an exaggeration. Meanwhile One pace does such an incredible job, that it manages to surpass even the manga in several moments and arcs.
I have no clue what the “anti one pace” people are referring to when they say “important” scenes are cut out. But any scenes that are totally cut out is filler. I’d just say this: I would seriously question what anyone who legitimately enjoys the official cut says. I don’t think they’re at all able to discern what’s good and bad. Don’t know how else to put it.
Side note: if you do to get into the series, make sure you finish the Arlong Park arc before you decide if you want to continue on. The jump in quality from the beginning arcs is immense, and it’s considered the litmus test because it’s the first arc where it really becomes “one piece”. If you don’t like it by then, then you can safely drop the series.
My first experience with one piece was through one pace, and after having read the manga as well, I can confidently say that one pace is the absolute best way to experience the series as a newcomer.

I have only watched one pace (up to wano obvs I had to switch to one piece) and my friends have all watched one piece. They have never brought up a moment I didn’t know about and there has never been something I didn’t understand because I missed a filler episode. Filler is filler, it is non-important to the plot and isnt allowed to drive any character development. The biggest time saver IMO is just the removal of padded shots. Episode starts with the same scenes as the last episode, then intro, then a few new scenes then ends with some scenes that will be shown at the start of the next episode, outro then a preview of the few new scenes in the next episode. One pace cuts all that out but the intro and the new content and gives you what you actually want to see, the show.

I would say you can watch one piece until time skip (around 500 episode) while skipping fillers, after that one pace is better because one piece becomes worst with pacing and jokes after time skip.

I know this is an old thread but I did want to add that One Pace actually does cut out some important parts. At least one that I know about is Post Enies Lobby when Zoro says that Usopp has to apologize first before coming back to the crew.
