World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's a bit why I waited until I was a huge chunk into the reading to start the anime. I could just enjoy the animation and to see how previous events tie into where I am in the reading. The anime feels pretty true to the manga. Continuity feels great, and I really wonder how much was planned to play out this way 30 years ago or if Oda is just that good at not painting himself into corners with plotlines.
With the huge online fandom, it isn't hard to search up what chapters events take place in if you want to reread a section. I think if you really want to get deep into it and work on your own theories and such, doing an arc and taking a break to roll it around in your mind and to go back to key events and hint drops, that feels very doable.
There's only 2 arcs that drag on a bit, but I think it's paced nicely and there's good delineation between key events.
I dislike fights in manga since I can't seem to visualize it clearly, so I like a bit of jumping back to watch the anime and get an experience like what you seem to describe. Since so much is out already too, you can watch some of the anime to get the voices and outfits in your head too, which I always find helpful too.
You naturally know what works for you though, but One Piece is truly top notch and it would be sad to see someone skip it for its size. It is almost all solid gold material, and while there is absolutely some stuff less interesting than others, it really isn't much, and there is no filler in the manga. The anime has filler between arcs, but it's easily skipped if one desires and slower parts of the story drag even more animated than read, but I think that's true of any story.
It's not a race and you can wait to start whenever, but I'm glad I'm caught up and don't have to risk having the ending spoiled in a few years when it wraps up.
