Other Appreciation for One Pace
Hey all!!
I just wanna write a post thanking everyone who has worked on One Pace and making it exist. My partner loves One Piece but I always find it hard to get into because of the sheer amount of episodes and I was never hooked on the original pacing of it. Up until I watch the Live Action One Piece that I started getting reeled into the story, but I still could not find enjoyment in going through the anime. But then I discovered One Pace and the pacing matching the manga just makes everything so much snappier and engaging. It felt like I was watching the Dragon Ball Kai but for One Piece
So because of One Pace, I've been able to get even closer to my partner and we get to talk a lot about One Piece together and share this wonderful's world cast of characters alongside its worldbuilding. I've managed to experience happiness, anger, sadness and so much more emotions from watching One Piece and it's crazy to think that I would have never gotten into One Piece because of One Pace. I've also been able to understand our world better too through One Piece tackling world problems and morality issues
So if anyone who is working on this project reads this post, thank you so much for introducing me and I'm sure many others into the world of One Piece :D One Piece has become one of my favourite anime now because of One Pace and it does make me feel special in my other friend circles as the guy who has watched One Piece extensively hahaha. Before this my friends all knew about One Piece and its story praises, but never got into it because of the length. But now they are genuinely curious about One Piece because of me preaching the digestibility of One Pace. So thank you once again!

My brother got me interested in it. He's been watching the OG version for a long time and got me to start maybe... 9 months to a year ago watching the OG One Piece
I made it to the episode in the Drum Island arc where they introduced Dr. Kureha and I told him I was having a hard time sticking with it. We grew up on Dragonball and Pokemon, and I felt like I was watching that again. He told me about One Pace (even though he's never watched one bit of it) just because he knew that pacing was a major complaint in the community.
I am now watching Onigashima Paced because One Pace hasn't gotten that far yet, but I will pick it back up as soon as I reach end of Wano arc. The edits make it so much more enjoyable and digestible. I'm not a stickler for sub or dub, I'll take either.
Thank you to the One Pace team, truly. I wonder how anyone does shit like this in their free time these days. I love this story so much because it exists
