Hey everyone ![]()
So Iβve been seeing a lot of questions like βWhere do I watch One Piece?β, βHow long will it take?β, βDo I skip fillers?β, and I figured Iβd drop a full guide I put together. Hopefully it helps anyone planning to start (or restart) their One Piece journey.
Where to Watch One Piece
Streaming availability really depends on region, but hereβs what works for most people:
β Crunchyroll β Subs + new episodes almost same week as Japan.
β Netflix β Selected seasons, plus the live-action series (varies by country).
β Hulu β Big library in the US, sub + dub available.
β Tubi & Pluto TV β Free, ad-supported, but only some arcs.
Licensing shifts a lot, so if you donβt see every episode, check another platform.
How Long Will It Take?
β 1,100+ episodes, ~23 mins each β thatβs 25,300 minutes (421 hours / 17.5 days straight).
β
1 ep/day β years.
β
5 eps/day β ~7β8 months.
β
10 eps/day β ~3β4 months.
Throw in filler + movies, and yeah, this anime is a life project
.

Skippable Fillers
Want to save time? These are anime-only arcs you can 100% skip:
β Warship Island (54β61)
β Goat Island (136β138)
β Ruluka Island (139β143)
β Oceanβs Dream (220β225)
β Spa Island (382β384)
β Silver Mine (747β750)
β Cidre Guild (895β896)
β Utaβs Past (1029β1030)
β¦and more. (G-8 is technically filler but actually really good, so a lot of fans recommend watching it.)
Canon-Only Episodes
If you just want the manga story:
β 1β44 β East Blue
β 144β195 β Jaya + Skypiea
β 229β325 β Water 7 + Enies Lobby
β 385β489 β Sabaody β Marineford
β 517β574 β Return to Sabaody + Fish-Man Island
β 629β746 β Dressrosa
β 783β877 β Whole Cake
β 891β1085 β Wano
β 1086+ β Egghead
Bonus: Upscaling Old Episodes
If youβre rewatching early arcs, the quality difference between East Blue and Wano is HUGE. Some fans (me included
) use AI enhancers like HitPaw VikPea Video Enhancer to upscale old episodes to 4K. Looks way sharper, especially on big screens.
FAQ
β How many episodes? β 1,100+ as of 2025, still ongoing.
β How many movies? β 15 total (2000β2022).
β Is it just for kids? β Nah, itβs family-friendly but with heavy themes adults love.
β When will it end? β Weβre in the βfinal sagaβ but probably still years away.
Final Thoughts
One Piece is a journey. You can:
β Watch everything β full adventure (filler + specials).
β Skip fillers β pure manga story.
β Add movies β extra flavor.
It all depends on your patience level and how fast you want to catch up.
Personally, I recommend watching canon + good filler arcs (like G-8), then slotting movies where they fit.
So, how do you guys watch One Piece? Full ride or filler-skip mode?
