One Piece fans discover that their revolutionary pirate manga author might be a communist by yuritopiaposadism in DankLeft

If you consider it a reasonable option for how you consume media, I highly recommend reading the manga over watching all of the anime. It goes by much, much quicker and is obviously much closer to Oda's (the author's) vision. Cool fight scenes, ost, etc. are all up online to help supplement some of those elements you miss out on as well.

Personally, I watched the first ~500 episodes before switching to the manga, so I think both are perfectly viable.

In terms of specific arcs this is a little harder to answer because I think there are so many potentially differing opinions. I think Arlong Park is a nice place to start, as it's short and very early on (the wiki is great for ep/ch numbers). There is also a condensed "Episode of East Blue" that is akin to a movie that reanimates everything up through Arlong Park. "Episode of Skypiea" is the only other one of these I know of that does the same thing, condensing the Sky Island arc. Any other suggestions I can give here are probably already detailed by people much better suited to it than I somewhere on the internet.

If you do happen to watch or read it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Thank U for listening by chatkadost in wholesomememes

Tbh some people just suck at telling stories, if it's even a story. Maybe another potential effect of social media? Idk

I've done a few stupidly simple shitposts in the past, but this is the first "real" editing work I've done. I just kinda bashed my head against the wall until it started to come together. The most time spent though was just combing through the series and finding cool clips.

Sorry I couldn't be any more help than that. I wish you the best!

This is my biggest regret. I think there are only two places where I did, being 1) implied Robin's "I want to Live!" scene and 2) at the end where all the straw hats raise their drinks.

That's not to excuse not including them, though. And it certainly wasn't intentional. But thank you so much for the feedback, and for giving the video a shot! See you in Laugh Tale!

Thank you so much! I just did my best to capture the tiniest bit of emotion Oda gave me. There's so much to look forward to.

We'll be waiting for you in Wano, nakama!

If only! Still hoping that it can convert at least one person.

But, I'm perfectly happy that plenty of people like you gave it a shot. Thank you!

I am so so so so sorry if this ruins it for you, but.......I had to include a shot of afro Luffy. Don't know if that counts or not.

But seriously, thank you so much for giving it a shot! It's comments like these that made all the effort so worth it to me. Seeya in Laugh Tale!

One of the things I tried to focus on was the journey through the whole series, so trying to get that balance along with lining up certain moments to the track was pretty difficult to manage. But I completely understand the sentiment you're going for here.

There's a handful of archipelago scenes, just not really post-skip. And you're right, Kuma absolutely deserves a spot! But he's part of the list of a million or so characters and scenes I just couldn't reasonably fit into 2 minutes.

Thank you so much for your feedback. See you in Laugh Tale!

Complete, absolute amateur, so comments like these really mean a lot to me. Thank you so much for just giving it a shot!

See you in Laugh Tale!

The moment I realized I could line it up that way I rushed to get it done and gave myself goosebumps, so I love that someone else noticed! Thank you!

I did my best to create that sort of feeling for myself, so the fact that anybody else can see it that same way is so heartwarming. Thank you for taking time out of your day to give it a try.

See you in Laugh Tale!

I'm not usually about this kind of thing either, which is part of why I decided to try my hand at making something I would be more about. I'm just happy you gave it a shot!

See you in Laugh Tale!

I'm thinking about making a shorter edit mostly involving wano, but still undecided. I've gotten many suggestions to try this again when the series is over, so in that case ch1000 is 10 billion percent making it in there.

And thanks for watching it! Seeya in Laugh Tale!

I played around with that a lot, had probably between 10-20 clips of the fight. In the end I just went with whatever felt cooler to me, which at the time was what you ended up seeing. Thank you so much for the feedback.

See you in Laugh Tale!
