    a thousand episodes, 1% of which actually advance the story. If this new series compresses all the bullshit out and retains the good parts, I wont be mad. I watched about 250 of them during the pandemic before I gave up. I love the characters and enjoy the story, but I don’t have all day to skip through filler content.

      Look up One Pace. It’s a fan edit of the principle series that cuts out all recaps, flashbacks, and dead air.

        One Pace was how I got my husband into it. I read the manga, although I stopped around 800 (maybe?) and need to get back at it. We tried to do it without One Pace and dear lord.

        Couldn’t imagine for my first time watching missing the ‘fillers’, the lore in the series is what makes it stand out. I definitely understand wanting to see the story unfold quicker, but I’d still watch every episode on my first watch. I haven’t read the manga though, for context.
