I started watching from the start late 2019 knowing that I was going into a deep shonen show with rich characters, worlds and storytelling. Ever since lockdown, I continued where I left off before the Water 7 Arc and since then never took a break until I did get to the current Wano arc which I did and it's one of my proudest watch throughs of my life. I loved all of this from Oda because even though the anime does suffer from pacing and animation issues as well as some minor story putoffs that don't drag the show down enough to make this still great in every way. If you have the time and resilience like Zoro to get through past the 900 episode barrier, you can do it and become a pirate legend like I have now.
