In the case of One Piece, I think the anime is a lot better than the manga. It's pretty much a perfect transistion to animation. And the amazing soundtrack, consistently good animation, and the best voice actors ever pretty much make it that way. There are scenes in the manga that just lose everything without the music or voice actors. Well, that's just what I think anyways. There is barely any filler, and most of the filler is pretty decent for filler standards, there was like only 1 filler arc that sucked.

I'm probably the biggest One Piece fanboy on this forum, and marathoed this faster than Acer. I just decided one day to try it man, this is like my favorite anime now-a-days.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The english adaptation of the manga is actually pretty good. The only thing that bothers me is the "Gum-gum" stuff. I bought them all just because, even though I read it all before and seen the anime form.

As for the length, they aren't even half way a cross the Grand Line, so we still got a long ways to go. Right now, we are probably around like 40-45% done, that's my guess anyways. Every arc from here on out is going to, or should be at least, compeltely badass. I'm really hoping we get to see Blackbeard/Ace next, those fights are going to be fucking EPIC.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

At it's core, One Piece is a kids anime (SHONEN LOL). But that doesn't mean adults or older teens or whatever can't enjoy it. Even in Japan, OP has a huge following with the college kids, I guess since they grew up with OP but still. And most of the people that I know that love One Piece are usually in their low twenties, so yeah, I think you'd like it. I haven't really seen anyone say that they don't like it, no matter what age, unless they are just basing their judgement on the 4kids version.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

And yeah, I learned my lesson about 500 times to never check wiki for anything unless I already know everything about it.
