but it works both ways for one piece, because it’s been running long enough as both a manga and an anime.
TL;DR; It’s great but there is filler in both.
I prefer the manga, but I feel like the manga is a little rough until it gets to Drum Island, which is a whooping 130 chapters in, but “only” 78 episodes in… it’s one of those “its gets really good 100 hours in” deals.
There’s islands where nothing happens like long ring long land, well something does happen there, but its so minor compared to everything else that I’m not really sure why its there at all. I feel like Thriller Bark was kind of filler-y too. That second sentence is an extremely hot take, but that is how I feel.
